Sea Gem-Ocean Views, Heated Pool, King Bed, Beach Access
Welcome to the Sea Gem Beach Retreat at Summerhouse! Two Story Condo (located on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the building) in building 2 provides a visual panorama that’s absolutely breathtaking! Just one step back from ocean front units, this condo still provides sweeping views of the pool and ocean! Stunning ocean views from balcony, living room and the master bedroom! This unit is in phase 1, building 2.
This bright and airy condo is very comfortable and relaxing. You'll be mesmerized by the ocean views and relaxed at the sounds of the peaceful waves that lap at the silky shore just steps away. This lovely home has 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths and sleeps 6 people comfortably. It has an HD television in the living room as well as board games to enjoy when there is a need for quiet time.

Four Walkovers to the Beach
We invite you to take a short walk to the beach where you can go and enjoy the view, read, or just relax with friends. Or perhaps you may witness one of nature's greatest spectacles...sea turtles nesting!
Crescent Beach, where Summerhouse unit 115 is located, is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the northeast of Florida. It’s an expansive white powder beach! You’ll find fisherman, bikers when the tide recedes, walkers, surfers, kite boarders, shell gatherers, and of course sun bathers! Further north, 4 wheel drive vehicles are allowed. The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill.
St. Augustine city center, only 10 miles north, is the most ancient, gorgeous city in Florida...and America for that matter! It hosts restaurants, stunning historic churches, some of the finest art galleries and a myriad of chic boutique shops. The first Friday of every month features an Art Walk, where some galleries even serve refreshments and stay open in the evening. As you walk cobble stone streets you have opportunity to explore history all around you, often hearing church bells. You can sight see through horse and buggy or trolley tours, or just shop 'til you drop! You will want to return year after year!
The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you.
You have a designated parking spot marked with the unit number. You may also park one additional vehicle in an unmarked spot. 2 vehicles max, no exceptions.

It's $10 to get one for your whole stay, or you can pick up a day pass each day from the office for free. *If you are going to arrive at Summerhouse after office hours, you will need to prearrange for a parking pass in advance with the office. This is very important!*

Thank you again for choosing us for your stay! We are so glad you enjoyed our home in St. Augustine and we hope to host you again.
Check in process was very easy. The property management team did an excellent job in communicating which made our stay relaxing and worry free. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a few meals and just relax at beach or watch a movie and enjoy the views, sunset and sunrise just lovely.

Excellent location and property! Quick walk to the beach - which wasn’t overly crowded with plenty of space for all the condo residents to spread out. The condo itself was clean and cozy, and the hosts were wonderful with communication.
Loved everything about our stay. The condo had everything we wanted in a perfect location. The resort was quiet and we usually had the pool to ourselves along with the beach only a minute away. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our week at sea gem. Great weather, great view, great amenities! Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well accessorized. We were greeted with frosty Pilsner glasses in the freezer. Pool was nice and beach was wide and clean. Would definitely recommend for a family get-away.

This was a wonderful rental from the reservation to check out. The location is out of the busiest part of town so plenty of privacy but close enough to have access to food, shopping and other activities. The condo was spotless and very comfortable I would 100% recommend.

We loved our time in this condo. It was clean, comfortable, and bright. The proximity to the beach can’t be beat. The beach itself was lovely and quiet, and we had easy access to great restaurants in St. Augustine. Highly recommend this place and the wonderful, communicative owners.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 27, 2024
We are glad you enjoyed the location and decor. We wish this guest would have given us the opportunity to fix any issues she had with the unit during her stay, instead of waiting until late on the night before check out to tell us she was unhappy with the dust on some baseboards. We strongly encourage guests to report any issues they find when they arrive or soon after. This gives us the opportunity to send back the cleaners to address anything they are unhappy with. We work hard to ensure all guests have a 5-star stay. We are also very quick to respond (as this guest found out when she texted us on 11pm on the very last night of her stay to report any issues).
This condo was fantastic! Location was beautiful! Everything you need there and more!! We’ll be back!
