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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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 is wonderful! Clean and well stocked. Beautiful ocean view from the balcony and master bedroom and just a short walk to the beach. Would definitely book here again and highly recommend this property.

About the host
Hosted by David Manaute
We are a local St. Augustine family that loves the beach and hosting other families that want to visit our beautiful city.
Why they chose this property
The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine, takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!
The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!
What makes this property unique
