About this property

Sea Urchin 39 | Pet Friendly, Great Beach Escape!

Shhh, try not to brag about our charming oceanside getaway! Sea Urchin is a well-kept secret. Where else can you vacation just yards from the beach at a price like this? Newly redecorated, airy, and bright, it's a beach escape just for you! With two bedrooms, one bathroom, and accommodations for four plus your pets, it's the perfect retreat!

This modern, thoroughly convenient, cozy vacation rental makes you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The open, airy living room offers a family-sized couch, wonderfully decadent easy chair, polished hardwood floors and a large TV and DVD player. Light floods in from large windows and sliding glass doors, which lead to the private, spacious deck. Go ahead, linger with drinks or a good book, enjoying the fresh sea breezes and year-round sunshine! You're at Sea Urchin now, far from the dull everyday routine!

One of the true joys of Sea Urchin 39 is the beautifully updated kitchen. With wood cabinetry and modern appliances, it’s a delight to use. Fully stocked with all the gadgets, dishes, and utensils you need, it makes dining in a pleasure. Whether you’re cooking your catch of the day or preparing fresh seafood from a local stand, you can let the dishwasher do the cleanup while you enjoy a movie or relax on the deck to watch the sunset. The full-sized refrigerator and ample cabinet space mean you can stock up on groceries and enjoy home-cooked meals and snacks throughout your stay.

The dining table seats the whole family and doubles as a computer stand and game center, with free wireless Internet available. It’s perfect for planning Disney World trips, catching up on social media, playing games, or letting the little ones color.

Sea Urchin 39 is ideal for a family, two couples, or any group of four. The primary bedroom features a queen bed with nightstands, perfect for one person to sleep peacefully while the other finishes a murder mystery or solves just one more Sudoku. The second bedroom offers two twin beds, providing personal space for both occupants. A convenient bathroom is located in the hallway for everyone to share.

Located in the friendly Surf Crest Village (closely-set but wonderfully private units), Sea Urchin is just a hop, skip, and jump from the sparkling community swimming pool. If you're traveling with little ones, no need to pack up the pool bag every time you want to take a dip -- just step outside with a towel and a smile, and you're ready to cannonball into the water! Or perhaps you'd like to get in a few laps before breakfast? Staying at Sea Urchin is like having your own private pool just steps from your door!

Which brings us to the ocean itself! You'll walk to the beach along the community's convenient boardwalk, enjoying the natural dunes before reaching the soft, sugary sands. Prepare to own the beach as you never have before -- this lovely stretch of seaside is uncrowded, with plenty of room to fly kites, play bocce ball, collect shells along the waterfront at low tide, and witness a spectacular sunrise every single day. The waves are challenging enough to delight the surfers in your party, and you can rent all manner of watercraft to enjoy the ocean up close! For day trips, St. Augustine is just eight minutes away, with fine dining, world-class shopping, and fascinating historical sites. Orlando is less than a two-hour drive.

Book today and secure your spot at this hidden gem before it's discovered with Distinctive Beach Rentals!

Christmas week vacation

We had a great time. House was clean and had what we needed. Beach access was perfect. Close enough to St. Augustine but away from the crazy crowds. Only downside were the twin beds were not very comfortable. Maybe toppers would help.

Beach vacation

The community is great! It is a great location to beach and other activities. The condo has a great location within the community. I did like the condo and this was our second stay at this condo. However, I believe there is some issues with the condo. It has a really bad odor especially around the sinks. The floor around the kitchen is warped and has some soft spots. Other than that we had a great stay.

Sea urchin 39

This property is ideally located, in a quiet compound with easy private access to the beach, we loved it! It has a few issues that need to be addressed 1) The A/C unit cannot keep up with the heat during the day got almost 80 degrees every day, property manager had it checked while we were there, we were told by the A/C man it was it functioning as designed 2) The front porch light did not work, access to the porch was dangerous at night 3) The shower curtain would not stay on the track, 4) garbage disposal did not work, 5) the light over the sink did not work. 6) the kitchen faucet was loose in the sink

Location and beds

The location is great, minutes walk to the beach. And the beds are comfy, disregard prior comments about the bed mattresses, they must have been replaced. Screens on the sliding glass doors need to be replaced but other than that it's perfect.

Surf crest Village, St Augustine Beach

We were surprised that so many things were less than desirable about this property. All three doors had definite problems, either not opening or not closing well. Furniture worn, bottom of beds ripped, light bulbs burned out and batteries in remotes missing. I had to call management for help with cockroaches and nothing ever done. Two small tvs, one never worked consistently. Floor was filthy and living room rug smelled of urine. Location was good for beach and good restaurants nearby. Noise from renovation next door. We left days before our time was up. Called management again but no reply.

Not a comfortable stay

The location of the property was amazing...close to lots of things...but the actual property was not the greatest. The beds were so uncomfortable that my husband had to take the cushions off the couch in order to make it semi bearable. My parents suffered in pain from the horrible beds. There were tiny bugs everywhere that bit my mom up and you could also see tiny ants crawling all over the baseboards. The air conditoning never cooled to lower than 74 during the daytime. Not a Happy Anniversary to us!

needed a vaca

It was quaint, we loved the location to the beach. Pictures of pool were deceiving, it was very small. Half the chairs were broken. We did like the washer/dryer in the condo. Bugs were our main issue. Also, update the "new appliance" comment. They are not. Also instructions on pool key and where to place trash on pick up day would be helpful. Door lock needs some adjustment too.

Perfect beach bungalow

This place is awesome. Spacious and clean. Very convenient to pool and a quick stroll to the beach for amazing views of the sunrise. Nice deck and pretty decor inside. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. We will definitely be back!

Great little cottage with everything we needed

The small cottage was laid out well and had all the amenities we needed. Access to pool & beach were great, proximity to town and shopping was easy. The deck was enjoyable at night when it cooled off. Loved being able to bring the family dog, but a hose outside would have been helpful to rinse sand and salt off of everyone.

Cute little get away!

The property was clean and comfortable. It has everything you need for a short stay. Great use of space and equipped with what is needed for cooking, eating meals and relaxing. Plenty of towels and basic needs. We enjoyed the porch, expect when a few bees came to visit in the hottest part of the day. We had a good time! 8we did not need to communicate with property manager

Maintenance Condition -- A big waste of Money!

Very poor. The location is very nice but the condition of the unit is very poor condition. This is especially true for the deck and outside furniture which was in unsafe and unusable condition. We reported many items after arriving but did not receive any recourse. A request to be moved was ignored. This was a special anniversary for us. Shame on You.

Don’t walk on rusty screws on the deck

Neglected deck, screwheads pop off when you walk on the deck. They’re rusted and sharp, get your tetanus updated if you stay there. Refrigerator door shelves were broken and carefully positioned back in place. One the fridge was stocked, the shelves gave way when the door was opened. Not fun! Then, storage in the fridge was extremely limited. The location was great! The interior of the house was comfortable. Electric ranges are not my favorite.

It was okay.

The location was great. The salt water pool and the beach area was nice. The condo was ok. It worked for what we needed, but nothing impressive. The floors in the condo felt like they were rotten underneath & they might collapse under us. One complaint- we sent MULITPLE messages to the VRBO owner/ rental company prior to renting and only received automated responses. No one actually responded to our questions until our last day of the rental. Very disappointing. Also, we were unable to find any pet restrictions (one of our questions that was never answered) until after we booked and were sent the fine print agreement- only 2 pets allowed & no aggressive dog breeds. And yes, as others mentioned, the queen bed is very uncomfortable. However, the TV/ busted speaker complaint has been fixed. We LOVE St Augustine, and can’t wait to come back! But we will not be staying at this location again.

Tv in living room and queen size bed left a lot to be desired

The stay was great except for the queen size bed it was so bad I slept on the floor 2 nights my husband said it was old enough to be George Washington’s bed it creeked and was very hard. Tv in living room has something wrong with the speaker as it popped regularly. As for the rest of the stay it was amazing.!

Great Location

I loved the location of Sea Urchin. The beach is just a 3 minute walk and the complex pool is one house over. There was plenty of room in the house for the 3 of us and we managed with the 1 bathroom. The Good- Location, Large Kitchen, Nice Decor The Bad- Ice Maker Was Broken, Living RoomTV Made An Awful Noise When Trying To Watch, Master Bedroom Bed Needs Replaced ASAP!! There Was No Sleeping Due To Terrible Mattress and Every Time You Barely Moved It Made Sounds. The TV In The Master Was Smaller Than My Laptop Screen. Loved the complex but would not stay in this unit again unless are fixed.
