We had a wonderful time in St. Augustine. Our condo was very clean and comfortable. The view from our deck was spectacular overlooking the pool area and the beautiful ocean beyond.We enjoyed listening to the sound of the waves in the morning sitting on the deck having our coffee---very relaxing. Our beds were very comfortable and we had all the amenities of home. Shirley was very accommodating with any of our needs. St. Augustine was beautiful, great restaurants, just wish we had more time to spend there. I would recommend this condo to any age group. There is lots of thing to do if you want, or just relax on the beach or by the pool. We definitly want to come back.

My husband, daughter and I spent one of our best vacations at the Hanson's condo! The location is perfect. We love to be close to things, but not too close! Everything is within 10 miles that we wanted to do. First, the beach at this condo is perfect. We have vacationed at many beaches and we agreed this was the best. It is a hidden gem! The sand is very fine, soft and clean. People take great pains to keep the beach clean. The water is so cool and felt wonderful on hot August days. Every morning collecting shells was an adventure. The condo was comfy and very clean. I have a difficult time in different beds, and I slept very well here! I appreciated that much thought went into comfort with the furniture, the bedding, the amenties and the provisions. We could not have asked for a nicer place to spend some down time. Thank you Shirley for the recommendations you made for us to have dinner. We loved South Beach Grill, Mango Mangos, Saltwater Cowboy and several others. Of course having a college age daughter we hit the outlet malls and they were great. The fact that both are across the road from each other was great. We visited Castillo de San Marcos and loved it. We visited several other locations, but absolutely enjoyed our day that we rented a pontoon from Devil's Elbow on the intercoastal waterway. We saw manta ray and many, many dolphin. We were so disappointed that we did not see a manatee....but that will be for next time! By renting the pontoon we were able to visit Fort Mantanzas on our own and we went the other direction all the way to the Bridge of Lions. It was a perfect day with a picnic and family on a quiet waterway. Thanks again to Shirley for her advice, for sharing her home and sharing the wonderful experience of St. Augustine!

My family and I stayed in Shirley's condo the week of July 19th. It is a beautiful unit with awesome views and great amenities. The pool and beach are so accessible and very family friendly. We would recommend this condo highly. Crescent Beach and St. Augustine is our favorite vacation spot. Thanks so much Shirley and we hope to come back again!!

The condo was just as described and very clean...suited all of our needs perfectly. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this condo and are looking forward to visiting again. Thanks to Shirley for all of the recommendations for the area...it helped us out a lot. Very sweet lady. :)

We really enjoyed our visit to the beach and St. Augustine. There were a lot of good restaurants, one at the end of the road within walking distance. I especially appreciated the swivel rocker from which I had a beautiful view of the beach. My grandchildren had a great time riding the waves and swimming in the pool. We hope to return next summer.

My family had a wonderful stay at this condo in Crescent Beach. The condo fit us perfectly and the owners were pleasant to do business with. We had everything we needed in this unit including a beautiful view and very comfortable beds. The pool was never crowded. The location of this condo is perfect. It is peaceful and out of the way, but yet so close to everything. I could go on and on. The beach was incredible, and so close to St. Augustine. What more can I say? Thank you Shirley for a trip of a lifetime! We hope to return soon!

My family from Virginia spent the week of 4th of July here! Loved it! The condo has EVERYTHING you could possibly need and the views are gorgeous. The pool and beach are really RIGHT THERE!!! We all enjoyed being able to go back and forth to the beach and pool easily. Very family oriented and family friendly. The sand is like confectionary sugar! We enjoyed going to St. Augustine and to Daytona while we were on vacation! We were especially lucky that we were able to meet the owners who are wonderful people. Thanks to both of them for having their condo available for rental to us. We loved it and we will be back as soon as possible!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We enjoyed our stay at the beach condo. The unit was clean and just as described. It was great to stay right on the beach...literally steps away from sand. The pool was awesome and the kids enjoyed hopping from beach to pool throughout the day. The local restaurants were wonderful and a grocery store was just a short drive down the street. The owners were kind and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. Great trip!!! Beautiful beaches and not crowded!

PERFECT WINTER GETAWAY

Date of Stay: 12/24/08 Review Submitted: 01/24/10

My husband and I really enjoyed this condo. The beach is clean and quiet. The condo was everything that we needed. The beds are very comfortable. The condo was clean, well decorated, and my husband loved the recliner chair. We like to cook and the kitchen is well equiped for cooking. The surf fishing is good there. You can also fish the intracoastal waterway on the surf, rent a boat, or go deep sea fishing at the Cats Paw marina on the Sea Love. Orlando is less than 2 hours away. Historic downtown St. Augustine is only minutes away. There is a lot to do there in the winter. The area has great restaurants, Prime Outlet shopping, a huge Flea market, historic areas to visit, and sailing. Marineland is just down the road, and you can swim with the dophins! There is a free ferry a couple of miles down the road south, that will take you across the intracoastal waterway to Matanzas Fort. That is a great history lesson and fun for the kids. The condo was very quiet, comfortable, and we highly recommend it. The owners are very accommodating.
