About this property

Dog-friendly bungalow with fenced yard - steps to the beach & fishing spots

Crescent Beach Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Crescent Beach Cottage is a private residence filled with local charm, ideally located across the street from the 206 Crescent beach ramp. If you want a break from the busy condos, this is it!

You'll be just a few minutes' walk from the beach ramp and less than 100 steps from the Intercoastal Waterway. There are great fishing platforms under the drawbridge and the sunset each evening is truly a sight to see!

This home is one of two cottages on the property. This listing is for the larger house, which offers a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious living room with a 50-inch TV, and all sorts of old-time charm. There's a new memory-foam mattress in the primary bedroom, a second guest room, and a sofabed in the sitting room.

At the end of the day, grill outside on the deck and enjoy a yard that's fenced for your dogs. Not interested in cooking a big meal? Walk across the street for a fantastic meal at South Beach Grill on the ocean. Parking is provided in front of the bungalow as well (with trailers and boats welcome too!).

Crescent Beach is only 11 miles south of downtown St. Augustine and 45 miles north of Daytona Beach. It offers miles and miles of white sand beach for you to walk or ride your bike on, and the surf fishing is fantastic. Walk with a cup of coffee in the morning and see the sunrise, or head out with a flashlight at night to spot the ghost crabs scrambling on the sand. You'll also be close enough to walk to local restaurants and even a fun Irish pub.

Cozy Cottage

Everything you need for a relaxed beachside stay. You know you’ve arrived and crossed over into island living when you hear and see the neighborhood roosters on parade. The helpful phone staff are there for you for your custom needs 24/7 days. Looking forward to future cottage stays! Thank You Vacasa!

Cottage was very cleaned and stocked. Wish we could of stayed longer. Very cutely decorated and felt like home. Couldn’t figure out what the chicken food on dryer was for until at 6 am they made their sounds. I didn’t feed them but probably should of!

Confused

Hi. I didn't want to leave this in a review but VRBO I can't find another way to message you directly. The house was a very nice house but it might be time for you to find a new cleaning lady. There was a layer of Dust and sand on everything, everything was dirty. The bathtub was disgusting. There were dead bugs all in the pots and pans and tupperware. And when I got dishes out of the cabinet they were soaking wet.The front door wasn't even locked when we got there. That didn't make me feel safe. And when I tried to message for a late check out no one got back to me. I'm very disappointed in this experience

Lovely little house in a convenient location. Parking information needs to be updated as there is no gravel and everyone parks on the paving stones. This was the most well-stocked rental we have ever stayed at.

Nice place to stay

This is a cute little spot that is walking distance to the beach. Me and my family and our dog enjoyed our stay. The house is a bit on the small side for 6 people and a dog, but we made it work. The house was clean for the most part, but the pull-out couch had dirt and sand in it and the mattress looked like it hadn't been cleaned. Another thing, it's not really a downside but more of a surprise, was the 1960's wall oven. It took us a few minutes to figure it out, but we got it. Would recommend this place to smaller families or couples.

Funeral

Checking in was a snap the place was nice and clean. Beads where fine fresh sheets shower was hot A/C was cold. Took a little while to figure out what remote out of the five to use. Key pad was hard to read needs some cleaning. Should most definitely invest in a monthly pest control service. Florida is notorious for roaches they only came out at night and only found them on the kitchen floor a bug service is needed.

Perfect, Cozy, Simple, Beach Bungalow

We came to enjoy some sun, warmth and ride our motorcycles because there was still a foot of snow at home. This was the perfect central location for day trips to explore the area and the beach was a short walk away. The neighborhood feels safe and the locals (and their dogs) totally became our friends! The house was perfect for breakfast each morning before we went exploring and it was a bonus to have a washer and dryer. We enjoyed the local restaurants most nights but took advantage of the barbeque, patio table and umbrella one evening. We truly had a wonderful stay.

Just perfect for the two of us. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The location was great with easy access to all areas. The kitchen is a little tight if you are planning to fix every meal but who does that on a holiday? Restaurants aplenty.

After speaking to the property manager, it appears the listing photographs needs updating. (ie No bunk beds, no stove) The photos from both houses on the property were combined. Nonetheless, it was the PERFECT little get a away. Immaculate in cleanliness and everything you could need to enjoy your time in the area. We can't wait to book again, closer to summer so we can enjoy the beach!!
