Dine together or play a few board games at the table for six located on the screened front porch. For sleeping options, there are three cozy bedrooms in this home. Each bedroom offers a grand view of the intracoastal. Two bedrooms offer plush queen size beds. The third bedroom is kid friendly offering a full over twin bunk bed and a single bed with trundle.There is more than enough room for everyone to get a comfortable night's rest from the day's activities. At the end of the day, roast marshmallows, tell stories around the fire pit, or just simply relax and enjoy the outdoor hammock as the stars come out to dot the sky.



    In addition, take in a little history during your stay as all of the sights and activities of Historic St. Augustine are located within a 15 minute drive of the home. Also just a few minutes away, enjoy fishing or paddleboarding in the beautiful Matanzas Inlet, take a free water taxi ride to the Matanzas fort on the intracoastal, or spend a day exploring Marineland and Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, one of Florida's hidden treasures of history and nature!

The location of the property was amazing. The highlight is certainly the dock. Our kids loved spotting manatees and dolphins from the dock each morning. The sunsets were amazing. The neighborhood was quiet and proximity to Crescent beach was fantastic. The house was clean and in overall good shape. The value for the money was good, but overall I don't know if we would stay here again because of the age of the house. It was very old and small. The bathrooms were very small and made it difficult to get kids cleaned up after a day at the beach. That said, we loved our time at the house and the view from the back porch is incredible. I'm definitely not sad about the week we had there.

Great hidden intercoastal property

We had a great time with our family of 6! We had beautiful sunsets on the new dock. The kids saw dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, crabs and fish! We easily walked to the beach with the dogs. The hosts were great about sending us details and reminders.

Great teal Florida style river home

Home was great. We wished we had more time to stay. If you want to see an old style Florida river home this is it. I am a multi generation floridian and feltl like i was back at my grandparents home except now with all the modern amenities. Great for families and close to old St Augustine

Best kept secret on the island.

What an incredible property with million dollar views. As a boat owner, the dock was second to none. Being able to lift the boat each day and have fresh water and power on the dock to take care of the boat was great. The home owners definitely under sold and over delivered on this one !!!

Great Place on the Intercoastal

We very much enjoyed our stay in Crescent Beach. The home is an older house, but a real gem. It's got everything a small family could need for a week on the water. Plus, the new deck and boat dock were a real plus. The house was very clean and had all the amenities we could need including a gas grill, sheets, towels, screened porch with views, and nice chairs by a fire pit. Even had some beach chairs and ice chests if you needed. The management communicated well and answered questions in a timely manner.

Relaxing with my dogs

Specifically selected this house because of the large yard and river front. I love to travel with my 2 dogs and this was the perfect place. The house has a feel of an old farmhouse but was very clean and the layout was perfect for us as a main bedroom was on the ground floor. My friend stayed upstairs so we not only had privacy but our own bathrooms. Great deal for the $$. Although near St. Augustine, we never had a reason to leave the island.

Daytona Bike week trip

Great stay, nice location on the intercostal waterway. Plenty of parking, excellent outdoor scenery and a wonderful fire pit for the evening and early morning gatherings. I would feel more than comfortable to recommend this property to small groups or a large family. The area is super convenient but away from the noise of the highway. I would suggest that light switch labeling and hvac controls explanation be added. Other than those minor details… Book with confidence, it’s a quaint area with excellent dining (don’t miss Vinos).

Serene setting

What a lovely, peaceful place to relax. You can watch the boats and birds go by from the couch, or the patio. This is an older house in a natural Florida setting, so you will see some ants. The AC works very well, but is a little noisy upstairs. Bedding was clean and comfy, kitchen had everything we needed.

Family and fishing!

Had a wonderful stay with family! A total of 9 plus our dog and had just enough room for us all. Spent a majority of our time on the dock fishing, which we absolutely loved the space and power provided on the dock! We caught a bunch of catfish, red drums, stingray looking fish (I think called a skate fish) We saw manatees and dolphins, as well! Very peaceful and enjoyed waking up to the sun rise on the dock. ITrip was available and communicative through our trip, they also provided us one free ticket per activities such as St. Augustine Historic Tours, Alligator Farm, Wax Museum, and much more. We did not take advantage of this but it was pretty neat to be able to do that. Had a great time and would definitely consider coming back here for that dock!!L

Amazing!

Anchors Away was amazing!!!! Whether you have a boat or not, the location is perfect for experiencing all that St. Augustine has to offer. The dock and lift worked great and it was so nice having our boat right there. The beach is half a mile from the place so it's an easy bike ride or walk.. We were only 15-20 minutes by boat from downtown St. Augustine and rode our boat in for dinner and docked downtown .The sunset view from the dock each evening was breathtaking and in the morning the waterfront view was peaceful and serene. The place itself was very clean and had plenty of space for my family . The owners really went the extra mile on providing some basic necessities and tips for places to visit that are local spots worth trying out. We only live a little ways away from St. Augustine and plan on making it our regular place to stay when visiting. A definite gem!

Older place , low ceilings

This place was fine, it is a old house, low ceilings, cracked tile floors, noisy AC units upstairs There was to be a finished dock, which it was not , everyday for 2 weeks, noisy trucks in morning and loud workers , so made it hard to sun bath on back patio Then on weekends, people showing up to fish on some of the finished pier. Beautiful view, on St. John’s River The house did suit our needs , but did not live up to pictures and info on VRBO Owners seemed very nice with info If you like to fish and water view , when pier dock is done it will be a great house for you

Good fishing and convenient to beach

The best feature of this property is by far the dock, whether you bring your own boat or plan to fish from the dock. We caught over 20 different species from the dock including a few big sharks, so think twice before jumping in! The house feels about 80 years old and appears to have been remodeled about 40 years ago. It has a few recent updates, but not many. It is very cramped and the online pictures were probably taken with a wide angle lens. However, if you are staying here it is probably because of the dock or proximity to the beach and you won't spend much time inside anyway. Overall we were pleased with the trip. It has everything that you need, maybe not everything that you would want. Most of our time was spent fishing from the dock, at the beach or exploring the area so it met our needs just fine.

Perfect Location

Anchors Away is the perfect spot for a vacation! Most of our time was spent on the dock and taking the boat out for fishing and sunset cruises. Having the boat lift was so convenient and we were able to secure the boat at night. I am going to miss having coffee on the dock and watching the dolphins swim and fish jump. Til next time!
