Everything was great! Host was very responsive. Condo was awesome. Very clean. Decor was great. So many extras. Felt like we were in a home vs a rental. Furnishings were great. Large dining table that easily sat 6. Enough seating in family room for 6/7. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking in. Upscale appliances. Lots of extras provided - not just one roll of toilet paper.., paper towels, trash bags. Location was great too. Steps from beach and pool. Can’t say enough good things!

Excellent Stay

We stayed at the property last year and loved it so much it was and easy decision to come back again. It's perfectly setup for a relaxing stay, especially with a young family. A five star review doesn't do it justice, so accommodating all around.

Excellent beach week for family

This property was well furnished and organized for a family of 6 with grandparents visiting during the day. Great proximity to a section of beach that was not overcrowded. We enjoyed the amenities associated with the property to include the game room and courts. My family loved it and would definitely rent again. Communication with owners was perfect. Great trip!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen van Halter

Host profile image
We live in St. Augustine, but dreamed of having a special gem to visit and enjoy RIGHT ON THE BEACH. We moved to the US from South Africa in 2011 and have finally made that dream a reality. Walter rehabs apartments and I was an interior designer, so this condo became a very special project for us. Spending quality time together is priceless, which is what we’d like to share with you. Slow down and just be grateful for the natural beauty and those around you.

Why they chose this property

Truly beachfront!!!The ground floor condo is the best! We walk to the beach and the pool in just a few steps, it’s so convenient, we honestly didn’t realize how awesome this is, until we lived it. Crescent beach is our favorite, never too busy, but busy enough. The beach is wide and flat, ideal for long walks and bike rides, or just watching the dolphins play. The condo was FULLY renovated in 2021 and we used it weekends and holidays for a year, just for our family. Everything inside is less than 2 years old and immaculately kept. We have everything you need too, beach chairs, shade, we have it all for you to enjoy. St Augustine is the oldest city in the US and offers a unique charm with history and fine dining. It’s a special place to visit.

What makes this property unique

We have 2 teenagers, so we wanted a 3 bedroom condo. These are hard to find in St. Augustine! Unit sleeps 7 and has dining and lounging space for 7 too! Location, ground floor. DIRECT beachfront, no looking around corners to enjoy the view of the ocean. We wanted afternoon shade on the patio because Florida is so hot in the Summer. If it’s raining, sit inside and take in the ocean view from the living space or master bedroom. You can even watch the sunrise from the master bedroom! Proximity to St Augustine-20 minute drive. 2 hours to Disney World. This is our piece of paradise, we hope you come and enjoy it!
