Fantastic home with views of sunrises, sunsets, & dolphins + WiFi & shared pool
The ocean is right outside your window and beneath your breezy balcony when you stay at Sand Dollar II, our fourth-floor corner beachfront condo on Crescent Beach located in St. Augustine. With the Intracoastal behind you and the Atlantic in front, you get amazing sunrises and sunsets. This condo has the best location in St. Augustine, and the views are so mesmerizing you won't want to leave your private balcony. There is even a full wall window in the primary bedroom, so you can watch the dolphins playing in the water right in front of you year-round, the whales in November, and the turtles nesting all summer long - all this while having breakfast in bed. This place truly is a beach lover's paradise.
Nestled on a strip of coastline between ocean and waterway, Sand Dollar II is just right for your next northeast Florida vacation. St. Augustine is just minutes away by car, and Daytona is right down the road as well. Orlando is less than two hours away if you are tempted to make a day trip to Disney World. The Intracoastal is a wildlife paradise, with walking trails and the perfect setting for canoeing, kayaking, and boating. And then there's Crescent Beach, the finest in the St. Augustine area, with uncrowded sugary-white sands, great shelling, biking, and surfing, and an abundance of dolphins, pelicans, and other exciting sights.
And the best place to view all this beauty is the balcony at Sand Dollar II. You can reach it from the living room and from the primary bedroom (which means you can slip out at night for a quick look at the moonlight on the water and the sound of the surf.), and we've placed some casual furnishings and a small table out there. The balcony is covered, but sunlight slants in at various times of day, so you can soak up rays or enjoy cool shade - your choice.
When it's time for indoor activity, step into the light, nicely appointed living and dining area of Sand Dollar II. Soft carpeting and comfortable leather furnishings, including a large flatscreen with cable and DVD player, await you here. The dining table is just adjacent to the living area, too, so you can set up games and puzzles here to keep the group entertained. And the view comes with you through bright windows and sliding-glass doors. This is a corner unit so you can look directly down on the pool too. The Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal, and the Pool are all visible from your private balcony.
Although you'll probably be dining on amazing seafood during your St. Augustine stay, when it's time to eat in, you'll appreciate how well-equipped our kitchen is. The cupboards are bursting with cookware, dishes, utensils, glasses, the works! Add a few groceries and you're all set, whether you're composing elaborate sauces and spreads or simply throwing mac 'n cheese together for the kids. You won't have to dash out to buy a colander or more cups when you stay at Sand Dollar II.
And while we're on the subject of being well equipped, the condo also offers a full-size washer and dryer for your use, so you can pack light for this trip. They are in the utility room, along with such useful items as beach chairs and other necessaries. It's so nice to stay in a fully furnished home instead of a hotel at the beach. One of the best features of this condo is the primary suite. The bedroom is quite spacious, especially considering it has a king-sized bed, dresser, and standing mirror with a flatscreen TV. One wall facing the ocean is entirely made out of glass and the other wall is a sliding glass door out to the balcony, with enviable ocean views.
The en-suite bath is a treat too. The second bathroom, shared by the other two bedrooms and the living area, offers both a tub and shower option. And all towels are provided, as well as linens for every bed. The second bedroom contains a queen-sized bed, TV, and a sliding glass door to another balcony for the intercostal and sunset views. It's roomy as well, and very restful. The third offers two full beds and another flatscreen TV. No arguing over what to watch when everyone has their own set.
Best of all, at Sand Dollar you have resort amenities in addition to the ocean and Intracoastal. A huge oceanfront swimming pool is available for splashing and sunning, and lighted tennis courts mean that you can swing the racquet in the cool of the evening. You'll love it here - the condo complex is family-friendly and beautifully maintained. Come stay at Sand Dollar II very soon.

Wish we had longer to stay. We were there for a wedding and it was the perfect spot. Our host was very helpful. She even made a special trip to get me another parking pass after mine blew away. Would love to go back in the spring or early summer. There was plenty of room and we had everything that we needed.
We absolutely loved staying here. The condo was very clean, the location is great, the beach was awesome, and the morning sunrises were beautiful! Thank you for helping make our trip so nice!
The place was great!! Beaches were beautiful and big! This is a non crowded area, very peaceful and relaxing. The condo was very accommodating and had everything we needed. Thank you for your hospitality.
Great stay. Quiet and not crowded. End unit with perfect view of the ocean. Only downside, roof construction just above us that started at 8am. Luckily we were out and about
The views of both the Atlantic and Intracoastal waterway were wonderful. The beds were comfortable. It was such a great stay...I look forward to coming back!
Everything exceeded our expectations. We had 5 adults and a 2 year old (3 generations) and the condo layout was very roomy and comfortable. We were looking for a beach, a view and a pool and this place certainly delivered. It probably could use some updates ... but that didn't impact our stay at all. (one minor thing - The glass top coffee table was cute but what a shin killer. We threw a blanket over it to protect our 2 year old ... and our legs.)
First impression was not good because of the stair well but the place was awesome. The first thing we saw as we walked in was the beautiful view of the ocean. There was plenty of room for all of us and the kitchen was well equipped. Could probably use a little updating but not bad.Beds we're comfy and plenty of furniture. The glass table should be replaced. Several of us bumped into it. My son cut his leg pretty bad on it. And the only other complaint is that the sinks and tubs drained very, very slowly.
Very impressed with the views and the size of the unit. Very disappointed with communication once checked in. No one had a clue what the correct code was to access the pool area and shortest access to the beach??? Had to go to the opposite end of the building to get beach access.
Really enjoyed the home and location. The key process was very difficult and the dead bolt would not release and had to call to open a lock box. Key was very hard to use and should be replaced. In take vent in hallway was filthy. Black mold inside of shower stall at hallway bathroom. Rest of the home was spotless.
Be aware this is an older complex with only 1 elevator per building. We arrived to find the elevator out of service. My wife has bad knees and I have a sore back (we’re both 76 years old). So dealing with 4 flights of stairs was a big deal. Fortunately, we were only there for 2 nights, and were able to make it work. We actually liked the condo. Very clean, comfortable and amazing views. Just wish the management company had given us a heads up about the elevator situation with an opportunity to cancel. We feel like a rebate on the rent is justified.
We enjoyed everything about the condo. The 10 digit door code took a day to memorize but after that it was easy. We love Crescent Beach and this condo is a great place for us to return to on our next trip.
We had a relaxing beach vacation. This is a wonderful place to stay.
