Luxury Waterfront Retreat - Pool, Hot Tub & Breathtaking Sunsets - Sleeps 12

  • Breathtaking Waterfront Luxury | Heated Pool, Hot Tub & 3-Minute Walk to the Beach

    Welcome to your private St. Augustine/Crescent Beach waterfront getaway! This spacious 4,000-square-foot luxury home comfortably sleeps 12 guests and sits directly on the beautiful Matanzas River (Intracoastal Waterway).

    Located just 1 block from a beautiful wide sandy beach, this home gives you the best of both worlds: a peaceful waterfront setting with breathtaking views and spectacular sunsets, while the beach and everything St. Augustine has to offer are just minutes away.

    Unforgettable Waterfront Views & Sunsets

    The back of the home features four custom glass doors overlooking the Matanzas River, providing spectacular water views from the kitchen, living room, master suite, and upper deck.

    Relax in the heated pool or hot tub while watching sailboats, yachts, and dolphins along the Matanzas River. The spacious upper deck, furnished with comfortable Polywood seating and a large dining table with umbrella, is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal, a drink, or a breathtaking sunset.

    Amazing Game Room

    The entry-level game room is one of the home's favorite gathering spaces. Featuring beautiful cypress walls and an Old Florida/Key West feel, it includes:

    * Pool table
    * Bar with high-top stools
    * Smart TV
    * Built-in bunk beds
    * Full bathroom with tiled shower
    * Refrigerator
    * Direct access to the pool and screened porch

    The screened porch is another great place to relax, with comfortable seating and a table for enjoying meals or drinks by the pool.

    Private Heated Pool & Hot Tub

    The large heated pool is perfect for swimming laps, playing with the kids, or simply relaxing while taking in the incredible waterfront views. The hot tub is the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach or exploring St. Augustine.

    The pool area also features a quality 5-burner Broil King gas grill, refrigerator, and deep freezer—everything you need for a great poolside cookout.

    Spacious & Comfortable Accommodations

    Kayaks & Waterfront Access

    Three kayaks are provided for guests, along with paddles and life jackets. They are stored in the garage for your convenience.

    The property also has a private boat ramp in the backyard, making it especially convenient for launching the kayaks and enjoying the Matanzas River.

    Please note: the property does not have a private dock.

    Outdoor Living

Fantastic everything!

We spent Christmas 2023 here with my two adult sons and their girlfriends. The house itself was perfect: tons of room, beautiful location, and St Augustine is just amazing. The kitchen was so well-stocked, and the manager was super attentive. Great rental!!! We rented a boat and docked it 1/2 mile up the road and spent lots of time on the intercoastal.

Another Wonderful Week!

This is our second time staying at this home. It is well-kept and as pictured. Donna is helpful and quick to answer questions. The walk to the beach is short and easy if you are at an average level of fitness. When walking to the beach, you must cross the street to walk over beach access stairs. We had 2 babies and 8 adults with no problems. The adult age ranges were 22 - 55. This might be a challenge for an elderly person. They would need to plan to use the beach driving access area. We also enjoyed playing at the very large pool, eating on the deck while looking at the water, and playing pool in the game room. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. The drive to downtown St. Augustine is simple and close. Our family looks forward to another stay next year! Thanks again, Donna!

Best beach house ever!

We have rented beach homes for quite a few years. This is by far the best home we have stayed in. The house has everything you need-kayaks,top of the line appliances and linens,a pool,fishing dock,beach chairs and umbrellas....and a short walk to the beach. Our family had a wonderful time, and we are looking forward to returning!
