Hunter's Haven is a little piece of "old Florida" beach living. It's not fancy, but the owners have made some upgrades while still keeping the home's character. The kitchen was very well stocked and there were plenty of linens. Both bedrooms and baths are large, especially for the size of the house. You can't beat the views, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intercoastal Waterway on the other. The decks give space to spread out for eating, storing beach gear or relaxing in the rockers. Having the private boardwalk to the beach will spoil you! We totally enjoyed our week there.

Crescent Beach stay

Location is incredible! We love crescent beach and this property has its own private boardwalk to the beach with great views from the back deck. We enjoyed the tortoises that inhabit the property as well.

Great location, beautiful views, right on the beach.

Great house, clean, comfortable beds and furniture. Great views of the ocean, with the most beautiful sunrise over the ocean, and sunset out the front door. Be sure to sit in the lazy boy in the living room and watch the ocean for hours.

Our stay at Hunter’s Haven was great! Everything was as described. Jim was a great host. We loved that the two bedrooms were on each side of the home, allowing privacy for each other. We would definitely stay again. There was plenty of wildlife to see each morning. Three bunny rabbits we saw daily. On the last day as we’re loading the truck, we saw the huge tortoise that has been mentioned in other reviews. Also watched a smaller tortoise dig out a home in the dunes on your way over the boardwalk. The beach was wonderful through the week not much of a crowd at all until the weekend. Cars were parking in line all the way down in front of everyone’s boardwalk Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

Gorgeous beachfront home

We loved our week in St Augustine on the beach. The house is clean and nice old Florida beach style. Not modern, but rustic in a good way. Nice great room with comfortable furniture. Weather was cool (January cold snap) but the beach was wonderful anyway (and dog friendly).

Simply Fabulous!

House was just perfect! Charming and just a stones throw away from the beach. My wife and I were in awe from the moment we walked in. It simply fit us. Definitely a treasure, and it has been put on our priority list to revisit…again and again.

Our Favorite Home Away From Home!We’ve stayed at this vacation rental about four times now, and it truly feels like our favorite home away from home. The location is absolutely perfect—quiet, peaceful, and close to everything we love about Crescent Beach.The house is always spotless, and Jim has made some wonderful upgrades since our last stay, including the kitchen and a super comfortable new living room couch. The home is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the comfort level is top-notch. It’s also perfect for our doodles, which is such a huge plus for us!This is the place we choose every year for our annual trip to Crescent Beach. We highly recommend it!!

Amazing week

Clean and spacious. Can’t beat the views. Would have been nice to have more than one set of bath towels per person. Felt like we stepped back in time with the decor which we enjoyed. Enjoyed seeing the big gopher tortoise make her rounds every day. Close to groceries and restaurants and away from crowds. Steps to get into the house and down to the beach (in case someone has limited mobility). Would definitely stay again.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Hunters Haven. The location is absolutely beautiful and the property is very well maintained. It’s very cozy and cute and we all felt very comfortable while staying here. Being able to bring our dog, Stella, made our stay even more enjoyable and Jim even provides some dog toys and waste bags to make it extra accommodating! The house smells fresh and clean, with no pet odor, which we felt was even further proof of how excellent the cleaning crew is and how diligently the home is maintained. I particularly loved the eclectic and quirky beachy decorations, they elevated the atmosphere to that of a family home rather than just another vacation rental. Our stay felt extra magical because of the bunnies and tortoises wandering the property! Thank you so much to Jim and the cleaning crew for making our stay so lovely!

Cozy beach cottage

This is a cozy beach cottage. The house is old and has many of the things that come with an older house - it’s very sturdily built and its actually nice and quiet considering how close to a busy highway it is. The water pressure is not very good. Otherwise everything was in good order - the kitchen is very well appointed and we had everything we needed to prepare meals at home with a wide selection of tools and serving ware - this was quite nice considering many beach cottage rentals have just bare bones kitchen accoutrements. The smart TV in the main room is on its last legs and we had problems getting it to work properly, but ultimately it was serviceable - we were glad to have brought a chromecast to use. Both king size beds were comfortable - one is firm, one is soft so there is ability to choose your preference. Unfortunately the beach access was destroyed by a hurricane about 3 days prior to our stay - since there is not much to do in the immediate area except use the beach this was a big disappointment- but we do understand that this is not the owners fault and we did receive a discount which amounted to about 1 free night. The owners were great and let us know about the beach issue as soon as they found out and also immediately responded to all questions via text. Check in/out was a breeze and they also allowed late checkout upon request.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jun, 2023
We endeavor to provide a five star experience for all our guests. This Fall central & northeast Florida experienced unprecedented hurricanes (Ian & Nicole). These storms unfortunately included unusually high tides resulting in compromised dune walkovers. Ours is now rebuilt providing once again direct private access to one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. Xfinity/Comcast has remedied their television set top box pixelation issues experienced during your stay. All televisions are up to date SMART enabled delivering superior clarity. Regarding water pressure we have not experienced any issues whatsoever including more recent stays in 2023. Perhaps any issue experience was post storm related. We will certainly monitor this along with our normal maintenance schedule. Our location is direct oceanfront on scenic Florida route A1A also with Matanzas river views to the west providing for stunning sunrises and sunsets.

Excellent beachfront cottage

This cute 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom beach cottage is perfect! It is right on the beach, just far enough away from the public beach entrances. It is well stocked in the kitchen. The views are great, as you can see the ocean from the back of the house and the river/bay from the front of the house. It has a ping pong table and a few beach toys. The property owner was responsive and easy to work with. We would return to this cottage time and time again!

Perfect getaway for family or friends. Excellent walking on the beach, perfect house for gathering yet ideal private space for two couples to have their own space. We highly recommend this house for your next Florida vacation.
