Island Escape-Beachcomber, boater paradise- kayaks, SUP, Fire Pit included

Sleeps 8
A fabulously functional beach house, with 4 queen beds, just two blocks from beautiful Crescent Beach and two blocks from the Intracoastal right in the middle of historic Crescent Beach. Brand new fire pit for making wonderful memories! One thing I have learned about living at the beach is how important it is to be able to easily walk to it. A new crosswalk with flashing lights to cross A1A makes it easy. No fighting for a parking spot and no packing up the car. It is located across the street from Safe Harbor Seafood and has pizza and ice cream within walking distance. This house is perfect for a family vacation getaway.

The house is built on stilts but also has a large downstairs bunk/ entertainment room for kids or guests and includes its own full bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a family room, a beautiful kitchen, a full bath, and two outside decks that almost always offer a cool, off-the-ocean breeze. The master bedroom, (the larger of the two) has one of the decks out its sliding door. Downstairs is a completely separate laundry room. The upstairs living area and 2 bedrooms is separate from the downstairs 3rd bedroom and living space.

The house is 600sq ft upstairs, 500sq ft downstairs. It has an additional 320 sq feet of raised wood deck space and 400 sq feet of concrete deck ground level.

the beautiful kitchen includes soft close drawers

The downstairs bunk room has been completely remodeled with 2 queen beds and includes its own bath.

Enclosed outdoor shower

New pavers for a beautiful driveway and a larger outdoor entertainment area!

Large parking area for 5 cars and a perfect long section for parking your boat or motorcycle trailer.

Second time staying here and the location is perfect. Owner answers any questions right away and is very very nice. I never stay in the same place twice because I like to try different houses but did a repeat and most likely will stay again because it's a terrific house for our family.

Great stay. Excellent location
Absolutely fantastic retreat! We love the location of the house, in a very quiet neighborhood and only a short walkable distance to the beach. Nancy is a great host and thought of everything. The house is equipped with everything and more, meticulously maintained and very clean. Wish we could stay longer. Looking forward to coming back and staying here again.

Great stay
I read reviews and so many people mentioned Nancy and how great she was. CORRECT!!! Her listing was exactly as advertised. She communicated clearly all details for check in as well as the expectations for check out. Nancy even checked in on us during our stay to make sure we were happy. She even let us check in a few hours early and out a bit later which was nice. Bottom line, house was a block from the beach and cute -check out the pics. Quiet area and about 15mins from downtown St Augustine. Extremely fairly priced. 5 stars! Thanks Nancy!!

Perfect place to get away!
Very well maintained property. House is in very good condition. Perfect for a small family to get away. The only issue we had is that the lower bedrooms do not connect directly to the upper part of the house. Not a huge deal but the bottom guests just have to come up the stairs to access the kitchen. It has alot of porch space and we enjoyed the evenings out on them. Great location with the historic distric just 15mins or so away. Overall a great place to stay with pets and for the price, yiu will not beat it! Beach access parking and less than 5min walk to the beach. The kids loved the bikes and boogie boards that are there as well.

This is especially good for families with older kids because the downstairs area gives them some extra space. Also enjoyed walking to the beach, as well as a couple of restaurants and ice cream shop. And loved all of the beach toys supplied!

4th of July at Island Escape
Our stay was so much fun and very relaxing. The house was clean and comfortable for our family of 5. We were able to get to the beach super easy and everything needed to enjoy the beach was provided at the property. We were able to use the paddle boards and kayaks and that was one of our favorite activities of the trip (we were even able to see dolphins and that was a huge plus). With teens, it was so nice for them to have their own space to be independent. The local restaurants were really good and everyone in the area was very welcoming. Nancy was a joy to work with and even helped us figure out where to watch 4th of July fireworks (which were amazing). The only negative is we wished we had 2 more days. We will definitely look at going back in the future.

Great beach bungalow
The property was exactly as advertised and ideal to provide privacy for families to have space both upstairs and downstairs. The beds were firm but comfortable, kitchen was well furnished (has both a small keurig and a larger pot style coffee maker) and the laundry room was a much needed amenity. The new firepit and outdoor furniture was comfortable. There is an outdoor shower and outdoor foot washing area. There is a shed with many supplies for the beach as well - a wagon, ice chest, boogie boards, life jackets, kayaks, ~4 chairs, small umbrella and bikes. I recommend bringing a pop up cabana if planning to spend a lot of time at the beach as there aren’t any for rent in the area that we could find. The house is 1/4 walk to Crescent Beach - literally across one street. There is a 7-Eleven at the corner and a restaurant across the street. The nearest Publix and Starbucks are about a 10 minute drive. The host was very responsive and kind. We look toward to staying here again when we are back in the area.

Home away from home!
Our family loved your beach home! It is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities that you could possibly want or need. We loved the outdoor area and just wished we had more time to be there to use it all. We can’t wait to come back and stay again. Nancy, you are an amazing host and our stay was perfect! We loved being able to bring our boat and take it to the Matanzas River. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

Perfect location within walking distance to the beach
Really great location within walking distance to the beach. Clean and has everything you’d need. The shed has any and every beach toy or necessities you could need. I do think the downstairs could use a mini fridge of some sort. We spent a lot of time outdoors and it would’ve been nice to have a fridge downstairs for my extended family so they didn’t have to keep coming upstairs to get food/drinks/snack. The beds and pillows were clean and comfy. The host accommodated an early check in and a late check out and communicated clearly. If I could give this one 10 stars I would. Like all the other reviewers said Nancy is the best!!!

Perfect beach vacation
Thank you so much Nancy for the most perfect beach house! I stayed with two other family members and my dog. Super clean and pet friendly. Lots of beach supplies in the shed. Literally everything you need from umbrellas to coolers and wagons. The beach is only a 5min walk from the front door. The beach is very pet friendly. Lots of other doggies. We met a cute neighborhood cat and some roosters! Such a fun neighborhood! Nancy was very responsive. One of the umbrellas was broken and she brought us two new ones right away! Excellent host. Also side note, this place has TONS of outlets all over the walls(great for bridal party). The outside seating upstairs and downstairs was perfect for morning coffee and you can hear the ocean waves. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing! 500000 stars.
I booked Nancy's beautiful beach house for my wedding weekend. Myself and my bridesmaids stayed there comfortably and used the home to "get ready" for my big day. Nancy's attentiveness to detail was phenomenal and the house is literally steps away from the beach. Such a stunning location and the sweetest host. I hope we'll be able to book this home every time we visit St. Augustine!
