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!

Great Family Trip

Our family of seven stayed for a week and absolutely loved it. The condo itself was clean, spacious, and perfect to accommodate our group. Being on the ground floor was an added bonus as it allowed easy access to the beach and pool. Colleen was very responsive which provided a nice personal touch. This unit will be the benchmark all future stays will be compared to.

Beautiful beachfront condo

This condo was beautifully decorated and offered everything we needed. We loved the first floor condo and being able to walk right out to the pool and beach. Plenty of space for our family of 6 with an infant. The host went above and beyond making sure our stay was great. We are already planning our trip for next year.

Crescent Beach Condo

This is by far the best condo we have stayed in while visiting Florida! The condo was nicely furnished with great access to the beach and pool. The views are amazing and the area was not crowded. The condo has everything you can think of, just bring your suitcase. Colleen and Walter are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Crescent Beach Condo

My family (wife, daughter, son-in-law and 3 grandchildren) spent a thoroughly enjoyable two weeks at this Sand Dollar II condo in Crescent Beach. The condo was immaculate and supplied with everything you could think of. We loved the area with trips to St Augustine, Kennedy Space Center and Orlando. But our days at the beach and pool are the most memorable. We will be back.

Highly recommended

Second year at this condo. Agree with a previous review about wanting to keep it secret. Upon arrival it is fresh and clean, stocked with everything you need for a beach day. Waters in the fridge, snacks on the counter and a coffee and tea bar are a few examples of what makes your stay here a cut above the rest. Beds are very comfortable with soft sheets and fluffy pillows. Bathrooms are really nice and are well supplied. Beautiful view of the ocean and you really are just steps away from the beach access. Already planning for our return next year!

Great Location

Our reservation with another condo was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We were provide contact information for Walter and Colleen as a possible alternative. Walter and Colleen worked with us and were able to get us into their condo with a very short notice. The condo exceeded our expectations. The unit had been recently renovated and was very clean and comfortable. The location was excellent with un-believable views and access to the beach. The area had excellent restaurants and other attractions which added to our visit. Walter and Colleen are excellent hosts and the condo is an excellent option for anyone looking for a beach vacation.

Excellent Stay

Wow! The moment we walked into this unit we felt at home. Beautifully decorated with a very modern look! Everything was pleasantly stocked from the kitchen, with many extras, closets, with beach toys, towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, coolers, and many games and books to chose from. All you needed for your stay was a few groceries, cocktails and a change of clothes! Very highly recommended being on the bottom floor where you can see the many bunnies and turtles daily on the lawn. We look forward to being back to paradise again soon!! Thank you for a beautiful, peaceful, well relaxed stay!

Third year in a row staying at this beautiful condo. As always, it is like new, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with all necessary beach accessories such as tents, chairs, coolers, towels, and toys. It's truly a home away from home. The beach is steps from the patio and is never crowded. We were sad to leave and look forward to next year!

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!
