About the host

Hosted by Angela Moro

Host profile image
As your host at Sand Castle Apartments, I want guests to know that I truly care about providing a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable stay for every visitor. My goal is for you to feel welcomed, relaxed, and able to enjoy everything that beautiful Crescent Beach and St. Augustine have to offer.

I take pride in maintaining the property and being attentive to guest needs. I understand that vacations are valuable time, so I work hard to make your stay smooth and stress-free—from an easy self-check-in process to clear communication and prompt assistance when needed.

I also appreciate respectful guests who value a peaceful environment for everyone staying on the property. Sand Castle Apartments is a place where guests come to unwind, enjoy the beach, and make great memories.

Most of all, I want guests to know that I’m grateful you chose to stay with us, and I hope your time here feels like a true home away from home by the ocean.

Why they chose this property

We chose Crescent Beach because it offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, relaxation, and convenience. Located just south of St. Augustine Beach, this area is known for its wide sandy shoreline, peaceful atmosphere, and less-crowded beaches compared with busier tourist areas. It’s the kind of place where you can truly slow down and enjoy the ocean.

What we love most about the neighborhood is the sense of calm. Guests can start the day with a sunrise walk on the beach, spend the afternoon swimming, fishing, surfing, or exploring, and end the evening with beautiful coastal sunsets and ocean breezes.

Crescent Beach also gives you the best of both worlds—you’re tucked away in a quiet beach community, yet only a short drive from historic downtown St. Augustine, great restaurants, shopping, and local attractions.

It’s a special area where families, couples, and pet owners can enjoy a more authentic Florida beach experience while still being close to everything.

What makes this property unique

What makes Sand Castle Apartments truly unique is its rare combination of a direct oceanfront location, a peaceful Crescent Beach setting, and an intimate boutique-style atmosphere. Unlike large crowded resorts or high-rise condos, our property features only seven units, giving guests a more private, relaxed, and personal beach experience.
Located at 50 Cubbedge Rd, Crescent Beach, just south of St. Augustine Beach, guests enjoy one of the most desirable stretches of shoreline—less crowded, more serene, and perfect for long walks, family time, and unforgettable sunrises.
Our guests love being able to step outside and be just moments from the sand and ocean, while also enjoying comfortable accommodations with thoughtful amenities, ocean views from select units, and inviting common outdoor spaces designed for relaxation.
What truly sets us apart is the feeling of staying at a hidden coastal gem where you can enjoy both sunrise over the ocean and sunset skies, all while hearing the waves and feeling the ocean breeze.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a pet-friendly beach retreat, Sand Castle Apartments offers a warm, welcoming experience that keeps guests returning year after year.
