When other units have power issues, it requires access to this unit. We had to have someone in to check all the outlets and later that night had to try to problem solve again. Our power was never an issue. TV room couch may be good additional sleeping option but not comfortable for tv viewing at all. Great beach chairs were available and super convenient beach access.

First off would not rent if you have an autistic child. Management not sympathetic. Many complaints for her yelling and unfortunately swearing. But all of that was before 10:00 pm. We didnt complain about the newborn baby next door crying and screaming all night for 4 days and night. Why because i expect that from a newborn. Just like i expect autistic children to have problems. Nor did i complain about not having a parking spot for 3 days because multiple units had multiple cars so we had to park in the street. I also didnt complain about the sewage smell coming from the shower drain every time you ran the water. I didnt complain about the 45 of ice cream and meat that was ruined because the freezer wasnt put back together correctly so ice cream was soup and meat was bad. That was for 2-3 days that it didnt work until i found the nicest cleaning girl named Tracy who fixed the freezer issues. Also internet was out for 3 days so tv's were useless. Contacted management multiple times and nothing was done. So hired a man from internet company on the side and i paid him 50 . So overall if you have kids with mental disabilities this is not the place for you. STAY AWAY

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand that every family’s situation is unique, and we never want any guest to feel unwelcome or unsupported. At the same time, we have to balance the comfort and well-being of all residents in the community, including addressing reported noise concerns. We also sincerely apologize for the maintenance and service issues you experienced. During your stay, we were not made aware of the parking difficulties, freezer problem, or odor concerns, which limited our ability to address them at the time. These are not the standards we aim to provide. We appreciate your recognizing Tracy for her assistance, and we will be sure to share your kind words with her. We genuinely wish you and your family the very best.

Piece of Heaven

The location was amazing. Our room was quaint and clean. Perfect for what we needed. Being so close to the ocean was more than we could have asked for. We loved our stay so much we didnt want to leave! I would come back over and over. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Nice Time / Beautiful Beach

Did not spend a lot of time around the area, due to family activities. Unit was very clean and instructions from owner were detailed and easy to follow. If it’s just one or two adults and you need a place to shower and sleep and hit the beach, I would recommend.

Some mishaps, but all worked out

The apartment was very clean and very small, more so than I had imagined. From the pictures, I thought the bathroom was shared; however it is an en suite with access only through the bedroom. Our trip got shortened due to a scheduling error and then further shortened by bad weather on the only day we had for the beach. The kitchen has everything needed and the shower includes the essentials. The location is convenient to the beach, which is spectacular and we recommend the Safe Harbor restaurant next door. The shared deck for seating is not ideal but has a great view. The apartment itself is on ground level with views of the parking lot and the small grassy pet area. We kept the blinds closed for privacy, which made the space kind of dark. The apartment is fine for sleeping and eating. If you want someplace close to the beach and don't care about a place to "hangout" when away from the beach, then go for it. Ideal for a couple who wants to spend most of their time out and about and plan to share the bedroom.

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 just moments from the sand and ocean, while also enjoying comfortable accommodations with thoughtful amenities, ocean views in 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.
