Dog-friendly bungalow with fenced yard - steps to the beach & fishing spots

Crescent Beach Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Crescent Beach Cottage is a private residence filled with local charm, ideally located across the street from the 206 Crescent beach ramp. If you want a break from the busy condos, this is it!

You'll be just a few minutes' walk from the beach ramp and less than 100 steps from the Intercoastal Waterway. There are great fishing platforms under the drawbridge and the sunset each evening is truly a sight to see!

This home is one of two cottages on the property. This listing is for the larger house, which offers a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious living room with a 50-inch TV, and all sorts of old-time charm. There's a new memory-foam mattress in the primary bedroom, a second guest room, and a sofabed in the sitting room.

At the end of the day, grill outside on the deck and enjoy a yard that's fenced for your dogs. Not interested in cooking a big meal? Walk across the street for a fantastic meal at South Beach Grill on the ocean. Parking is provided in front of the bungalow as well (with trailers and boats welcome too!).

Crescent Beach is only 11 miles south of downtown St. Augustine and 45 miles north of Daytona Beach. It offers miles and miles of white sand beach for you to walk or ride your bike on, and the surf fishing is fantastic. Walk with a cup of coffee in the morning and see the sunrise, or head out with a flashlight at night to spot the ghost crabs scrambling on the sand. You'll also be close enough to walk to local restaurants and even a fun Irish pub.

Just perfect for the two of us. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The location was great with easy access to all areas. The kitchen is a little tight if you are planning to fix every meal but who does that on a holiday? Restaurants aplenty.

Cottage was very cleaned and stocked. Wish we could of stayed longer. Very cutely decorated and felt like home. Couldn’t figure out what the chicken food on dryer was for until at 6 am they made their sounds. I didn’t feed them but probably should of!

The property was very charming and well put together.
We spent the majority of our time at the beach which is only a few short blocks away, but the time we did spend at the house was pleasant. It has a cute back patio/yard that is quite lovely in the early mornings and evenings for wine, dinner and music. Also our dogs enjoyed our trip almost more than we did, with the property being pet friendly it made it even more worth every penny. The location of this property is key, and so was the cute stove/gas range. I would recommend this place 100 times and again. Can't wait for another visit.

After speaking to the property manager, it appears the listing photographs needs updating. (ie No bunk beds, no stove) The photos from both houses on the property were combined. Nonetheless, it was the PERFECT little get a away. Immaculate in cleanliness and everything you could need to enjoy your time in the area. We can't wait to book again, closer to summer so we can enjoy the beach!!

Kitchen appliances need to be upgraded. The shower was so clogged that we showerEd with a plunger. Entryway is through a bedroom which makes it very hard to come and go if others are sleeping. Beds are very comfortable! Beach is beautiful

Cute, clean, nice amenities
We enjoyed the cottage immensely! It was very cozy and clean. It’s much bigger than it looks—we had more space than we needed. And everything we needed was there. We traveled with our dogs and appreciated the fenced yard and the cute patio, where we could enjoy the mild weather and a glass of wine. The cottage is situated a short walk from the beach. You will need to cross a busy road, but we had no trouble. Unfortunately, on our beach day, it poured all day. We went to the beach anyway and had the whole beach to ourselves. We appreciated the washer, dryer, and nice shower when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent the cottage again.

Nice little cootage
House is very cute, my kids (4 years old twins) loved the box full of toys they found in the guess bedroom. Location is nice. Me and my husband would have loved a TV in the master, just 1 tv is not enough for a family with kids, but the tv in livingroom was a nice big size and the sound sistem was wonderfull. The grass in the backyard was long, somebody took care of it 4 days later but i wish it was cut before our arrival. little details that are easy fix. Overall, good place, we would come back again.

Everything you need for a relaxed beachside stay. You know you’ve arrived and crossed over into island living when you hear and see the neighborhood roosters on parade. The helpful phone staff are there for you for your custom needs 24/7 days. Looking forward to future cottage stays! Thank You Vacasa!

Confused
Hi. I didn't want to leave this in a review but VRBO I can't find another way to message you directly. The house was a very nice house but it might be time for you to find a new cleaning lady. There was a layer of Dust and sand on everything, everything was dirty. The bathtub was disgusting. There were dead bugs all in the pots and pans and tupperware. And when I got dishes out of the cabinet they were soaking wet.The front door wasn't even locked when we got there. That didn't make me feel safe. And when I tried to message for a late check out no one got back to me. I'm very disappointed in this experience

Lovely little house in a convenient location. Parking information needs to be updated as there is no gravel and everyone parks on the paving stones. This was the most well-stocked rental we have ever stayed at.
