About this apartment rental
Our living room and all four bedrooms of our Bella Mar condo open onto a balcony overlooking either the sunrise on Crescent Beach or the sunset on the Intracoastal! Beautifully furnished and perfectly located, this is your St. Augustine home-away-from-home! Maximum eight people, two parking spaces.
Bella Mar 202 is one of just eight condos in the beautiful and serene family enclave of Bella Mar. Here you always just step away from the outdoors, with that refreshing ocean breeze and the murmur of the surf. Birds wheel past, marine life has been known to raise a fin above the waves, and the blue Florida sky makes a beautiful backdrop. The wide white sands of Crescent Beach -- one of Florida's absolute best! -- and the dunes are just below our balcony on one side, while the condo swimming pool and the placid tides of the Intracoastal are on the other. Wherever you look, there's beauty!
Featuring an addictive hammock and a casual table and chairs, our balconies are a delight. This is the place to savor that first cup of coffee in the morning or linger over a glass of wine before bed. It's a great place to open the laptop and send a few emails or update your Facebook status (" Fallen in love with Crescent Beach!"). You have free high-speed, dual-band wireless Internet here, so you can stay connected with one or many wireless devices even when viewing nature at its most unspoiled . . . or you can put all the electronics away, pull out the journal and binoculars, and have an old-fashioned vacation!
The best part about the balconies is that one is accessible from every bedroom, plus the living room. Your group can gather on the Intracoastal side to enjoy the sunset, and the next morning a few hearty souls may even greet the sunrise on the beach. (Don’t be surprised to see rabbits, turtles, and other wildlife scurrying about as you stroll over the dunes on our boardwalk!) You don't even have to brave the stairs -- ours is an elevator building, with g

High end appliances and was well stocked with utensils. Pots and pans, dishes, etc.

We had an amazing time at Bella Mar in Crescent Beach. The condo was perfect for 3 couples. Everyone had their own space and it was a short drive to Saint Augustine. The weather was amazing and the view from the balcony for sunrise was spectacular. The best part about this location is you get the sunrise and the sunset. The condo is equipped with everything you need.
I would definitely rent this place again!

More than adequate space for family of 6. Nicely decorated. Property manager not responsive to concerns with condo. Will not rent through VTrips again. Apologised by email but made no attempt to rectify issues. Only one set of towels per guest. Seemed skimpy considering cost of rental.
Because of 2 hurricanes there was no access to beach or to dock on intracoastal waterway. A real disappointment but not owner’s fault.
Kitchen amply supplied with tools to cook, nice dishes and flatware. Balconies on front and back are a plus.
Close to Matanzas Inlet and Marineland.

Beautiful condo with everything you could ask for. Weather was great except for two days but plenty to do nearby in St.Augustine. Lots of great restaurants nearby.

Disappointment
The property was just like the description, with the exception of the pool! With a 2 year old and a 10 year old, we expected to be able to use the pool. It was nasty, and smelled like mold!

Perfect for a friends reunion!
Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom in private wings of the condo. Gorgeous views in every direction. Can walk beach forever. Can explore both historical and natural environments within a short distance.

Excellent property and location to stay with teens. Downtown St Augustine, drive to Orlando, drive to Rainbow Springs, beautiful beach outside your door.
My wishlist for future visits:
* beach chairs
* beach towels

Something odd about a/c but we didn’t need it, assume it’s resolved.

My daughter turned 18 and wanted to attend the Heart concert, St. Augustine, FL. We were inviting her friends to come with us and needed the perfect house on the beach that would accomodate seven. Bella Mar is lovely, beautifully decorated, clean and located on the beach with private access and balcony for each of the four bedrooms. Our daughters and their friends said this was the best vacation we had ever taken and they loved the beach (especially the hammock); my husband and I agree! Thank you for helping us create a great memory we will remember forever.

Relaxing and quiet location.
We loved this property and location. The beach was not crowded at all and the property was quiet. The condo was clean and worked perfectly for my family. Our only complaint was that the WiFi did not work at all. A technician came out to fix the problem, but the issue was never resolved. Other than this, vacation here was a great experience.

A very nice place to stay for a group of 7 or 8. Really couldn't ask for much more. We would stay again.

Nice - but could use a few amenities
The unit itself was nice. The beach access was wonderful and the views were as advertised. I was really disappointed in some of the amenities, or lack thereof. To have a beach condo with NO BEACH TOWELS makes no sense. Who wants to hunt for those upon arrival or have to travel with bulky towels? Also, there were just enough bath towels for the number of permitted guests. It felt like the property managers did just the bare minimum required. The place was nice enough but the few basic touches would have made the stay better.

Family friendly
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Comfy beds and beautifully decorated. We even used the pseudo fireplace! So lovely to wake up and see, smell and hear the ocean. My jus simply w as lied across the street to fish off the dock. My only criticism is the outdoor table needed to be larger with more chairs. Otherwise a perfect 10!

Bella Mar 5 stars
We will for sure be coming back here. The 6 of us had a wonderful week. Its rare to find a 4 bedroom condo ocean front with steps to the pool or to the beach. The condo was larger than the photos made it seem and well stocked with all the modern household needs, the owner might want to have new beach chairs in their storage space for vacationers to use.
The wi fi was little weak but ok.
The only trouble spot was upon arriving there was no water. The water main up the block had burst and so we were without water for the first 6 hours. Then there was a boil water alert for the first 2 days and we were annoyed that the landlord or the vacation service did not alert us to this, we found out about it on our own and had to make do. It would have been nice if the owner or rental service had told us.
Otherwise it was a very nice place for family to stay and we would do another weekly rental at this property again for sure.

Beautiful well kept property.in quiet neighborhood. .
Furniture in living and dining area could use a cleaning.
Lock broke on screen door in Master bedroom or maybe we just could not lock it..
Part missing on Keurig coffee machine so we were not able to use it.
Overall we enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come again..

Bella Mar 202 is Amazing
This condo is by far the best we have ever stayed at (even one in Hawaii). The rooms are spacious, the kitchen very well equipt and the views both ocean side and inter-coastal side are great. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Equipped to the hilt!
After many years of renting condos on the ocean, this unit by far, was the best we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was stocked to the hilt with every appliance we could ever need, lots of dishware and glasses, and a large area to cook for the 5 of us. The views out the bank of windows towards the ocean were spectacular and it never mattered if we were in good or bad weather with that view of the beach and waves. The deck was surprisingly large with plenty of furniture as was the deck in the back that faced the pool and the intercoastal waters. Every one of the four bedrooms had beautiful views from large windows, and the mattresses on the beds were as high quality as those in my own home. Beach chairs and umbrellas were also available in the storage locker. What a pleasant surprise to find an owner that put so much care and thought into the conveniences for those who come to rent for a week. Even better was the ability to drive only about 15 minutes to historic downtown St. Augustine with all its fun little shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this condo to anyone who wants to experience a luxury rental! Thanks for an incredible week with my 4 sisters! Betsy

A wonderful location and an awesome property
We were extremely pleased with this property. There were 7 of us staying there. The condo was very well appointed and stocked. The views from both the front and rear balconies where spectacular.

A Lovely Condo with fabulous views
We had a lovely vacation here, this condo had everything we needed plus some. The location is perfect with views to the east and west. The beach is beautiful, not busy at least when we were there, very wide and you can walk for miles either way. The cleaners were still there when we arrived and had had a very busy day and were rushed. The floors could have been cleaner. I did read in a previous review about poor lighting in the middle bathroom and it is still very poor. The living room furniture has had a lot of use and is not that comfy and should be replaced soon. Otherwise no complaints.

Loved it!
This is such a beautiful place, and so well equipped! It was roomy enough to allow for our own privacy when needed. The only comment I have it that the guest bathroom off of the foyer is poorly lit, and the shower is weak. Otherwise, it was very well appointed and comfortable. I definitely would go back.

Bella Mar - A beautuful place.
Our family had a very comfortable vacation at Bella Mar. The condo was well appointed and equipped with plenty of room for everyone. The only glitch was the ice maker in the bar was not working. Just bought a bag do ice and all was well. The beachfront was perfect and beautiful.

beautiful condo
The condo was very spacious and beautiful. The views were breath-taking. We would recommend this condo with fair warning the one condo that had locals there. They were rude. We were never loud or unruly. Their rudeness will cause us not to rent at this property in the future.

Great - Parking could have been handled better
Had a great stay. Enjoyed the condo. Our only complaint was in regards to parking. We had three cars and it was a huge inconvenience to shuttle back and forth to leave a car in the property management parking lot. We called in advance to request guidance on parking the third car per the contract, and no alternatives were provided. We were told we could not obtain a third parking pass. What made it even more frustrating was that the parking garage was at least 75% empty for the entire duration of our stay.

Golden girls vacation
Apartment lovely. Well equipped. Wonderful views. Mirrors in bedrooms would have been useful. Enjoyed our stay. Only weather spoilt the visit. A kettle for us tea drinking visitors would be nice. Thank you . Sharon

Luxury right on the Beach!
Staying at Bella Mar exceeded our expectations. The condo was beautiful, and it couldn't have been closer to the beach. Both sides of the condo had balconies with beautiful views...one of the ocean and the other of the intercostal waterway. Most afternoons we could be found on the ocean side balcony reading a book or napping. St. Augustine was a pleasant drive up the road with all it had to offer. My family voted this the best spot we had rented yet. We will be returning!

What a wonderful rental with plenty of room.The elevator just outside our door made for easy loading and unloading. We brought a lot of things from our kitchen at home not knowing what we would need but this place had everything! We can't wait to return!

Outstanding location. Beautiful, spacious interior design and large balconies with waterfront views - ocean views from kitchen, living room, and master BR. Intracoastal waterway views from the other three BRs. Awesome foyer and kitchen - kitchen cookware needs to be updated. Neat bar area. Limited seating in living room if there is a large group - 1 sofa, 1 love seat and 1 chair, tho the pictures show 2 sofas. Covered parking and elevators are great! Convenient garbage chute right outside door. Master BR mattress was soft for our liking, and the handle to the sliding glass door was broken - reported this upon arrival but repair was not made during our stay. Towels galore, but couldn't find any washcloths. Nice walkover to the beach - enjoyed the turtles! We would definitely return!!
