Fantastic home with views of sunrises, sunsets, & dolphins + WiFi & shared pool

Sand Dollar II 408

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.

NO ELEVATOR
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.

Incredible Views
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.

Great stay
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.

Hurricane & no refund
Hurricane Idalia was coming at category 3 & not wanting to be stuck in 6 feet plus waves we asked for a refund. We never entered unit or checked in & believe me they don't care if there's a hurricane or an evacuation order by governor or care for your safety. They just want your money! Absolutely do not recommend Valesca is a huge VRBO company & look online Google them, nothing but bad reviews. Don't make same mistake we did!

Great Location March 2023
This unit at Sand Dollar was great. The location on the beach is awesome and the views can't be beat. We loved the corner unit since it gave us views on 2 sides. The kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of bath towels for everyone. The whole process of checking in and out was easy. Vacasa was easy to deal with when we called them. When we got there, there was only 1 beach chair and 1 beach towel. The property manager, Natasha was great. She dropped off the new chairs and towels the next day. Also, the tv in one of the bedrooms wasn't working and she called the Tech guy, Ryan, to come and fix it. He was also friendly and courteous and came promptly. We would definitely rent this unit again. Crescent Beach is quiet. We had to get in the car to go anywhere. It was easy to get around though. Lots of places to eat either direction. As for the online listing, I found out that they only provide 2 chairs and 2 beach towels for a home that sleeps 8. Though I didn't expect 8 of everything, I thought there would be 4. I wish they had put that number of chairs/towels they provide in the listing. I could have then planned accordingly.

View is worth the stay.
View of the ocean from the balcony is wonderful. Because the unit is on the fourth floor and is an end unit, the views of both the sunrise and sunset are beautiful. Location is about 10 miles south of downtown St. Augustine. This makes for a quiet beach but a slight trek for dinner. The unit itself is spacious and well appointed. Although still acceptable, it is getting somewhat dated and a refreshening of the kitchen and bathrooms would be beneficial. Overall, a nice place to visit the beach and stay oceanfront.

VIEWS from both sides of condo
From the moment we walked into the condo, we were awed by the beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean. The front bedroom has a small patio and a great view of the Intracoastal Waterway. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen appliances were in good condition. We hope to return when the weather is more favorable for outdoor adventures.

A Startling and Disturbing Moment
Pros: Property was clean and well appointed. Building and grounds were well maintained View of beach was awesome! Cons: There needs to be more than four total washcloths. The building pool has no dedicated restrooms. You have to go back to your unit to relieve yourself. The nearest restaurant is 7 miles away. And the big one; During breakfast, the combo lock on the entrance door was activated and a guy just walked in un-announced. He said he was from a real estate company to take photos of the unit. About 10 min after he left, a lady who said she represented Vacasa did the same thing. How could they not know that the unit was booked, since I did it through them? Anyway, my wife was very traumatized by these invasions of our privacy and did not feel safe staying there.
