Dolphin Lookout, Beach Front, on Summer Haven Beach

Like a beach house from a fairy tale, Dolphin Lookout is situated between ocean and river, surrounded by marshland and blessed with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Located in historic Summerhaven, this charming beach front house is ideal for your vacation.
More than a century ago, the elite of East Coast society vacationed in Summerhaven, enjoying lovely Crescent Beach, the Matanzas River, and the glorious Florida wildlife from luxury bungalows. To stay in Summerhaven was truly to 'get away from it all' -- and now it retains that wonderfully remote atmosphere, even though it's just a few minutes' drive from historic downtown St. Augustine.
Dolphin Lookout comes by its name honestly. Dolphins do indeed swim past, as do manatees and other marine life just off this gorgeous strip of coastline. A bird lover's paradise, it is perfect for every sort of nature activity and water sport. If you want to see the countryside as it might have looked generations ago, come to our oceanfront bungalow in Summerhaven!
Of course, Dolphin Lookout also boasts all the modern conveniences. The combination of old-fashioned charm, perfect location, and modern features is just unbeatable!
A 2nd-floor wraparound wooden porch overlooks the ocean at Dolphin Lookout, with casual seating and unbelievable views. Accessible from the master bedroom as well as the living room and kitchen, the balcony is just a natural extension of the house, bringing the balmy weather, salty sea breezes, and murmur of the surf even closer. Step out here to catch the dawn sky before that early-morning fishing trip; return in late afternoon to watch stately lines of pelicans glide inland; enjoy a final glass of wine and count the stars at midnight. The sense of peace and contentment is incredible.
The living room at Dolphin Lookout is a big, open room with a handsome fireplace, very comfortable couch (which converts to a bed), and overstuffed easy chairs. Beneath one window is a table, great for special meals with a million-dollar view, or for a puzzle-and-game center. This is a room made for families to putter in, and we think you'll feel at home from the moment you walk in.
Our kitchen is compact and well-stocked, a galley-style design with a breakfast bar on one side of the counter and everything else on the other! All the major appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave, are waiting for you here, along with the full measure of cookware, dishes, and utensils. If fishing is part of your trip, rest assured that you can turn the catch of the day into something elegant in our kitchen! And if dining out is on the menu, stock up the fridge with drinks and the cupboards with snacks, and call it a day!
In a nook at the far end of the kitchen (hidden from view by a curtain) is our laundry area. Nobody likes to think about chores on the holidays, but we do have a washer and dryer for your use. We also provide all the linens, blankets, pillows, and towels for every bed and bath at Dolphin Lookout, so pack light!
There are 2 bedrooms and 2½ baths here, so each bedroom has its own full bathroom. The master bedroom offers a queen-sized bed, TV, plenty of storage space, and a door to the balcony. Its bath contains a walk-in shower.
The second bedroom has 2 twin beds, plenty of floor space for playing, and a bathroom with both a shower and tub option. (The half-bath serves the living and kitchen area.) Everything is fresh, sparkling clean, and pleasant here, guaranteeing the whole family a great night's sleep and a relaxed, stress-free vacation.
But best of all is our location. We're just yards from the ocean, with a generous expanse of empty sand waiting for beachcombers, boogie boarders, sunbathers, and sandcastle-builders! An outside shower helps keep the sand on the beach, but nothing will be able to keep you from venturing down just one more time to stroll along the shore at twilight.

The condo was very clean and attractively decorated. The location on the beach was excellent--it was further from stores and amenities than I had anticipated (but I did enjoy the peaceful location). The other folks in the complex were very friendly; we enjoyed our stay. The only thing that could use some improvement would be to install new mattresses.Did you find this review helpful?

When we arrived there was only one parking pass available. I wastold I could get one from the office at the condo but it was closed and did not reopen until Tues. After we got into the condo my husband stepped on a piece of glass in the kitchen and upon<br/> inspecion we found several shards of glass on the floor. The lock was broken on the sliding glass door and when we called the number for house keeping issues but we never received a call back. I went to the VRP office on Saturday and the older lady wasn't<br/> very helpful, like we were bothering her. Overall we had a good stay but just not very satisfied with the staff.Owner response: Hi Kelli - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey.

This place is wonderful. Usually you can't wait to get back to your own bed, but these beds were so comfortable. The only thing we weren't thrilled about was that you don't provide toilet paper or trash bags. Those should be a given! Other than that, we<br/> loved it!Owner response: Hi Leila - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey.

The condo was great. Could of used a tv in the second bedroom for the kids. We loved that the pool and beach were not overly crowded. With 3 kids that is a good thing. Also, there are plenty of places to eat and shop near by. We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back.

I was very disapointed to find I was paying more during this off-season than my niece did during the Easter week she stayed there. The reason for this is I was given information on the community having two pools, a hot tub, easy beach accesss, beautiful surroundings. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the condo itself, but the construction made it a disappointing stay. I had no chance to use the hot tub, unheated pool, or the facilities close to the beach. I was not informed of this and had to find out when I was there. I do believe I was misled and should receive some form of compensation. I did not have what I was promised. It was difficult going to the beach and then having to trudge a mile to get to a rest room from there. I did love the condo and think I would love the whole place if there weren't all the construction and mess.Owner response: Hi Yvonne - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I sincerely apologize for the painting project. This project is behind schedule and only happens every decade or so. I agree, this is not up to standards. I will email you a discount directly.

I specifically instructed the person on the phone that we needed a view sight of the pool due to my mother who has dimesia. That way she could sit on the balcony and the walkie talkies and visual could be possible. however, when I got there, the pool was completely around the other side. Therefore, no going to the pool, we stayed in the room the entire time. This would have been our only vacation in two years but yet our specific accomodations, request and specific instructions were not truthful during booking. We did not receive this information until check in and we were already ready for check and were stuck to take what they gave us. SAD!!!!Owner response: Hi Debbie - I just received your feedback and wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out our survey. I sincerely apologize for the issue with the condo location. We manage several condos in Building E and there are condos on the north side of the building with a view of the pool. If you had contacted us, we would have moved you immediately to another unit. i apologize again and will email you a discount. You and your family are welcome back any time.

About the owner: My name is Steve Milo and I stay in Vacation Rental Homes when I travel both domestically and abroad. I own several vacation rental homes and listen carefully to our guests and their feedback! Our greatest compliment is when our guests refer our web site to their friends and relatives. AND, now I am managing other people's properties in St Augustine Beach, Daytona Beach, Palm Coast and Ponte Vedra Beach. Our guests and their great 'word of mouth' have helped us expand to over 500+ vacation rentals. We booked over 10,000 rentals and received over 3,000 guest reviews in 2011. You can find some of these by going to search engines and typing in Steve Milo or 'Vacation Rental Pros' . Thank you!
Why the Owner Chose Crescent Beach:
And the best part of it all is the location. You're within a short car ride of historic downtown St. Augustine, the oldest city in America filled with pedestrian walkways with shops, cafes and first class restaurants. We are also close to Daytona Beach and the Daytona speedway and museum. We are also only a 1 1/2 hour drive to Orlando and Disney World/Universal/Sea World as well as 1 1/2 hour to the Kennedy Space Center. Our rental is also a short car ride to Ponte Vedra Beach and PGA golf Course and TPC as well as Jacksonville with the brand new St John's Town Center (with a Costco), Avenue Mall and River Front Arcade. There is also a minor league baseball team and a professional football team and stadium.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The beach is wide and unspoiled here by large crowds. Kids will spend hours exploring, and their parents and grandparents will love discovering new areas to relax and reconnect If you're ready for uncrowded beaches, balmy weather, clear skies, and Florida's natural wildlife, come visit us today!
