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.

We decided to do a weekend getaway with another family and truly enjoyed our stay. We felt safe and the locals who lived there were very friendly. This room is right next to the pool on the very end of the building. While you can tell it is an older condo, we had all of the amenities that any modern condo would have. We were able to walk right on to the beach, which was not crowded at all. Very kid friendly and the kids were able to catch little crabs and fish at the sandbars at low tide. We even saw two tortoises and a rabbit! The pool was clean and kid friendly as well. Wide enough to where you don’t feel like you are on top of someone else. Overall we enjoyed this spot and will definitely consider checking the availability for future bookings.

We really enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heartbeat! The place is a little dated but it is really clean and well kept. You can't beat the views or convivence of being right on Cresent Beach.

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.

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.
