Vacation Cottage Rental Description:



The perfect combination of vintage charm and modern convenience, our ocean front house, Surf Crest Cottage, is an ideal way to vacation on St. Augustine Beach. The shady front balcony overlooks the dunes, giving you a gorgeous view of the horizon!
Surf Crest Cottage is part of a small, family-friendly group of "house-dominiums" grouped around a sparkling swimming pool on the shores of beautiful St. Augustine Beach, just minutes from the Old City. Privacy is paramount here, and you'll feel miles from the hustle and bustle as you stretch out in one of the Adirondack chairs on our front porch, gazing at the natural dune and pure blue Florida sky. It's hard to believe you're in the heart of great sightseeing, shopping, dining, and golfing country when pelicans glide past and the surf murmurs!
Surf Crest Cottage is a laid-back, nicely furnished, beautifully maintained beach house, with everything you need from a working fireplace (great in winter!) to a bicycle you're welcome to borrow! Two sets of sliding glass doors lead out to the covered porch and overlook the dunes, so you're never far from the view. And even though you're part of a complex, the cottage is completely freestanding and separate. It truly is the best of both worlds!
The covered porch will quickly become your favorite place at Surf Crest Cottage, but when you must go indoors, it's hard to feel disappointed. A 32" HDTV with DVD player greets you from the armoire in the living room, faced by an ultra-comfy couch that unfolds into a queen-sized bed. (Best view in the cottage!) The fireplace adds a cozy touch, the tile floor feels cool on hot beach feet, and the overall ambiance is one of relaxation and comfort.
The dining room table is adjacent to the living area, with a lovely view through the second set of sliding glass doors. There's room for the whole group around this table, and it's a great place to wage a pitched battle of Monopoly or a wild round of Uno. If you want to bring your laptop with you, the light is great here, and you have free WiFi at Surf Crest Cottage. Update your Facebook status and keep your friends back home apprised of all your St. Augustine adventures!
The kitchen is tucked behind the living and dining areas, and you'll appreciate how well-stocked the cupboards are. If you decide to prepare a home-cooked meal, you'll find all the cookware, dishes, utensils, and glasses you need. On the other hand, if you are avoiding the stove this vacation, be sure to use the microwave to reheat those yummy restaurant meals! In our kitchen you'll find a side-by-side fridge with ice and water in the door, a double stainless-steel sink, granite countertops, a coffeemaker, and all the gadgets and gizmos that make your time in the kitchen easier.
Down the hall from the kitchen is a utility area, with a washer and dryer (help yourself!) and a linen closet, completely stocked with all the sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels you need for every bed and bath at Surf Crest Cottage. We've tried to think of everything, so you need never make one of those emergency trips to Wal-mart for a can opener or a spare pillow!
There are 2 bedrooms at Surf Crest Cottage, one full bath, and one half-bath. The master bedroom is spacious, with a king-sized bed that you will fall in love with, plus plenty of closet space. It is convenient to the full bath, which contains a granite-topped vanity and spacious walk-in shower.
The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed, and has the half-bath en suite. If you need to sleep 1 or 2 more people, don't forget the pullout in the living room!
We hope you will come experience St. Augustine Beach from our ocean front cottage. You'll feel as though the beach belongs to you, and the surf will become a soundtrack to your vacation. Make your reservation today!

A guest from Runnemede, NJ recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in November, 2012
Loved the little seaside cottage. Great location. Very clean, only complaint is the tile in shower needs a good scrubbing. Alsofound some mold around the water & ice dispenser which we didn't use. Would be great if beach towels & chairs were provided. My biggest complaint is with the tv. They need tosubscribe to the local channels, NBC CBS & ABC.Couldn't watch any of our regular shows or local news. This is a great rental for the price though, very roomy. Would definitely stay here again.

My review
Leslie F. from Satellite Beach, FL does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in October, 2012
Myself and my four friends would not return. The location was wonderful, but the cleanliness and amenities left much to be desired. Upon arrival the first thing we noticed was that half of the porch railing was broken away. There was lots of dust under the tv. The bathroom with the shower was never cleaned...there was mildew in the corner of the shower as well as dosposable razor covers on the window shelf. The waste basket was under the sink and contained USED femine monthly sanitary products. The ceiling fans in both bedrooms were far too loud to sleep while going. There was a handle missing off of the dresser in the half bath bedroom. The tea kettle should be trashed. speaking of trash. The email that was sent to me said we were to remove all of the trash upon leaving. We bagged it and left it on the floor in the kitchen.I'm not a trash hauler. As I said, the location was lovely, and the people about the cottage were very friendly, however the furniture,and amenities, were subpar, and the cleanliness was very bad.

Family Vacation
Lindsey g. from Manchester, TN recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in September, 2012
This was a great place to stay. Everyone in this area was really friendly. We really enjoyed it. The only complaint that I have is we had to go buy all paper products and laundry deterant because there was one roll of toliet tissue in each bath room and no laundry deterant. This was not a big deal, but I felt like if they want you to start the first load of laundry there should be deterant there. Other than this the place was GREAT...steps away from the beach.

relaxing beach vacation
A guest from Dunwoody, GA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in September, 2012
We really enjoy staying at surf crest village . The place is quiet and comfortable, and right on the beach. This particular rental could use a kitchen table upgrade as we were almost flipping the table off the stand . The second bedroom needed a nightstand table by bed. We did need better light bulbs. Not 15w! Overall we loved the house and the area. We will come again!.

Never judge a book by its cover. Advertising is deceiving
A guest from Masaryktown, FL does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 7 days in July, 2012
Building needs repair both inside and out. Bicycle offered is completely rusted with flat tires. Boards loose on patio rail and floor with severe rusting. Inside needs painting, Pots/pans& utensils to cook. Advertises to bring movies but equipment does not work. Cable wire in bedrooms but no TVs. Furniture old and dirty. Old kitchen pantry doors unable to close, wall hangings unable to stay up. Sliding doors nearly impossible to open and close since tracks have not been vacuumed in years nor lubricated. Boasts accommodates 6 but dining table big enough for 4 with only 4 chairs. You pay for cleaning, but we arrived to find hair and dust balls on kitchen floor, hair clips left on floor and chair from previous renter. Clearly owner of property is more than happy to charge an amount due a deluxe cottage but not willing to offer one. VR Pros not doing their job to maintain the updates nor the cleaning nor attempting to please the customer. All in all a rather disappointing experience given the monies that were spent and the anticipation of a properly maintained & upgraded facility.

Home away from home
A guest from Blakeshire, GA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in July, 2012
Awesome awesome awesome. Rated 5 on all categories. Would have loved to have been able to actually see the beach from the house but the house and atmosphere made up for it. Everyone was polite and the cozy little area was very well kept and clean. The house was just like a little cottage which we loved!!!!!

Not worth the hassle for a clean, well-located home
A guest from Greenville, SC does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in May, 2012
Overall, the home was very comfortable and in a great location?beachside?but with no view of the ocean due to the sand dunes. The place was stocked with cleaning supplies, plenty of towels & sheets, and dining essentials, although the floor was very dirty. It had an outdoor shower and hose, plenty of seating inside and out, and comfortable beds. The sofa bed was brand new. We bought and left a mop there because our feet were black after walking around the place for a few minutes. Other than the floor, the home was clean and well-kept. The addition of a grill and a very large platter would be great for future guests. We were very pleased with the home, the community and the beachfront location?the beach was just a walk across the pier! This would have been a great vacation except for the fact that we were harassed on all 3 days of our vacation. I?ve never rented a home that didn?t allow visitors for dinner and time on the beach, but Surf Crest Cottage did not allow an visitors. We are a family of 6, 3 adults and 3 children under 7 years old. We had a few family members stop by on their way home from a funeral (an aunt, our niece and nephew), but within about an hour of their arrival, the management team was peeking through the windows (including the bathroom window) and harassing us about our visiting family members. We received multiple calls and multiple visits every single day of our trip, despite management?s continual insistence that we ?were doing nothing wrong,? ?didn?t have 17 people in the home,? and ?clearly had children in the house.? No parties, no alcohol, no noise-just a little family trying to spend time together at the beach and make some memories. We were so disheartened by our treatment at this home. Please save yourself the stress of these owners and go somewhere else!
