About this property
A+++ "Best Beachfront on Crescent Beach"
Consistently the best reviewed house on Crescent Beach. This world class beach is on Anastasia Island; 20 miles of flat, wide, talcum powder like sand great for walking, jogging, biking or fishing on the hard-packed sand, sunbathing, birding, and surfing when waters are rough. Location, location, location, says it all. You will not find another listing this PRIVATE & QUIET on this ocean beach. No condo hallways, no strangers or neighbors you can hear. This house has a private walkway to spectacular Crescent Beach. You won't even see another person -- unless you want to. Hit the beach for a swim or a walk (you can go for miles) there are restaurants and bars within walking distance, but at the house, it's you and the ocean.
One of very few privately owned houses ON Crescent Beach for rent. It is simply the best. 80% of our guests are return renters. This house reflects a way of being in Florida that values tradition over trend. The vibe is personal, and chill — a Florida retreat that feels like it’s always been part of the landscape, yet perfectly yours for the moment.
If you want, jump into the car and the world of zoo's, museums, architecture and history is yours. Dozens of parks and ecological destinations within miles. Rent a bike, board, horse or a kayak to see things from another angle-- BUT... it's not easy to leave that deck! Please take time to read the REVIEWS, this house does not disappoint.
Perfect house for the family refresh, Big Chill week, girls get away OR a romantic honeymoon/anniversary! 3,000 sq ft. with room for everyone to have space of their own. (We do not take children or pets) Sunrise is spectacular!
DAY TIME AIR TEMPS: 70's-- Feb-Apr, Nov. 80-90's-- May-Oct. (with cool breezes most afternoons) WATER TEMP: 70's-- Apr-May, Oct-Nov. 80's-- May-Sept

About the host
Hosted by Ann Shakeshaft
This is a real beach house. We have taken great care to design a space that is romantic slightly rustic and comfortable with a vintage Florida vibe. Think Nancy Meyers movies.
Why they chose this property
Love to walk the beach, shelling and fishing along the way. Good food, biking, kayaking, pickle ball and yoga close by to keep you busy.
Aside from being on an amazing beach, this house is very private and more elegant and "cushy" than most rentals on Crescent Beach.
We are cooks, and this house has a good kitchen to make great meals-- especially for a number of cooks to do their thing all at once. -- finally, walk it out to the deck for a moonlit dinner!
Since the house is built into a sand dune and the views are at the top, there are a number of staircases to make all of the areas accessible. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult for anyone who has trouble with steps.
What makes this property unique
The privacy is really the thing that sets our house apart from other rentals on the beach. No condo renters, or even visible neighbors, this is one of a kind.
The wildlife on our little island is impressive, from the birds that fly along the beach and nest in the spring, to the dolphins and whales that you will see passing by or the turtles that nest on the beach and live in the dunes, we're living in a ecological park. If you get tired of watching from the house, the area is full of parks and beaches. The Intracoastal waterway is just behind us and that has a completely different vibe-- rent a kayak and check it out when you get sick of surfing, fishing and shelling on the beach. Ha-ha. Additionally, the house is large and very comfortable with lots of seating areas to provide privacy and quiet. Unfortunately, we do not accept children.
