Great Escape • Private Pool • Pet friendly! Sleeps 11

Clean and sanitized according to CDC guidelines. You will enjoy this SPACIOUS OPEN LAYOUT POOL HOUSE furnished with QUALITY throughout, cooking and grilling supplies, beach supplies, and more! IDEAL LOCATION - Crescent Beach only a 10 minute drive and historic downtown St. Augustine only a 15 minute drive. Local beaches known for being clean, quiet, and allow for dogs on a leash and on-beach driving, fishing, and more!

The house is in a quiet neighborhood on a spacious half acre corner lot. The main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a huge open-concept living space with dining area and bar, fully equipped kitchen, a game room, plus an entertainment room that works as a second living space. Sleeper sofas in the living room and entertainment room. There is a fenced-in back yard with a large pool and pool deck with seating and a grill. The entertainment room has a 65-inch TV and the game room has a full-size pool table and magnetic dart board. All bedrooms are furnished with ceiling fan and smart TV.

There is an attached mother-in-law suite with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom that has a separate entrance and separate parking; there is not access in the house to the attached apartment and the dedicated parking areas are on different sides of the house. There are no shared spaces as the apartment has its own dedicated outdoor space as well. Guests in the apartment do not have access to the pool unless the reservation is for the entire property. If you are looking for more space and want to rent the attached apartment also, let us know!

This home is located in a nice, quiet, and welcoming subdivision perfect for those who want to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the downtown atmosphere, while still only a short drive to the beach and tourist attractions. Conveniently located within 2 miles of a CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General, Publix, a post office, and restaurants.

Surveillance cameras are at all entrances including the front door to the main house, front door to the apartment, one facing the front yard, one facing the side yard, one at the side gate, and one at the exterior door on the pool deck; the pool is within the coverage area of this device. All cameras are in public view and record video only (no audio). The cameras will not capture any images of the interior of the house. Tampering with surveillance cameras is strictly prohibited.

**Fees to heat the pool in the months of December, January, and February may apply.**

Beautiful home, we had a great vacation
The kids loved the pool and games. Grandpa loved the comfortable accommodation. Mom and dad loved the huge kitchen and master bedroom. It’s a good vacation when you wish it wasn’t over so fast. The owner was really good at communicating with us. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

Great Quiet Location + Awesome Yard for Dogs
We really loved our stay here, so much so that we added an extra night! The pool was awesome, there were so many little additions that make this place a winner, the lounge chairs, the coffee and snacks, full kitchen of whatever you need, you can tell the owner takes very good care of this home and has made many updates (shower heads, granite counter tops, remote fans, outdoor lighting and landscaping, comfy mattress, nice towels, great washer/dryer, large TVs in each room). The home is in a pretty "woodsy" area with some large properties but just a short drive to stores and downtown or the beaches. Our only issue was the A/C struggling in the late afternoons, but then again it was August, our hottest month, and it did cool down fine once the sun went down. Whether traveling with kids or dogs, I'd highly recommend considering this rental. It's spaced out - so if traveling with another couple or kids, it would work well. Both showers are spacious and great and the place was SUPER CLEAN upon arrival. We will be back again! Thank you Sara!

we'll be back!!
This is our second time staying at this property. We loved it the first time and loved it this time too! Sara is super friendly, and always made sure we had everything we needed. (i thought it was nice how she knew a certain way we liked the master bed without needing to be reminded....) We enjoyed the pool and used it frequently. The location is close to everything (there's even a great ice cream shop close by, yum!) We love the space in her house...it just spreads out. The billiard and dart room are a wonderful distraction if the weather isn't perfect to swim. This year there was an added foosball table! Sara has been generous in supplying soaps and trash bags, toilet paper etc. Beach and shower towels are at the ready. There was even a little snack box on the kitchen counter with water bottles when we arrived! Such a "homey" touch.. The yard was nice to bring our pup...enough grassy area for him to get to "explore" and everything is fenced so in the wee hours of the morning we could just put him out in the yard and know he was safe! The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to use. thank you Sara for yet another nice stay in Florida!!

Everything We Hoped For
I can't say enough Good about this home. It met all of our expectations. It is an exceptionally well thought out property having everything you need for a home away from home. The kitchen is well stocked for any type of cooking you'd like to do. Televisions in 5 rooms, pool table if the weather stinks, swimming pool if it doesn't. Nice quiet neighborhood, close to everything and a large fenced in yard which was great for our 2 labs. Even a second private seating area to have your coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. And the communication and concern from Sara was immediate. Thank you Sara for a very pleasant and memorable stay.

Beautiful home, great location
This home is spacious, and comfortable. Plenty of room for us and our adult children (20’s). We enjoyed the heated pool, the entertainment room with the huge tv, loved the pool table. Fenced in yard for our pups and privacy. Sara was easy to reach with any questions. Nice neighborhood with a horse across the street and a train nearby which we love. Easy access to stores and entertainment. My daughter became ill with strep and there was an urgent care down the road to take care of us. We would stay again for sure. No one wanted to leave!
