About this property

Pelican House, St Augustine, Crescent Beach. Close to the beach & Ocean Views

Discover the beauty of St. Augustine from this fabulous 3-bedroom Crescent Beach house. Nestled in a serene neighborhood on a high dune, our amazing property offers magnificent ocean views, and is just three houses back from the beach. Our property features a "crow's nest" platform on the rear of the house, which is perfect for enjoying sunset views over the inter-coastal waterway.

Upon entering Pelican House, you'll find a large foyer space that has been converted to a second sitting area. Guests will find the entryway to be a relaxing spot to read, work on a laptop, or just hangout separate from the upstairs living spaces. There are 2 large downstairs bedrooms. The first bedroom features a queen sized bed, t.v., armoire, and closet. The second bedroom has two twin sized beds and a closet. A full sized bathroom with a tub/shower and linen closet is located in between the two bedrooms. The washer and dryer are also in the same hallway as the bedrooms.

As guests make their way upstairs, they'll find the second floor to be open and airy, with plenty of great natural light. The open floor plan provides a perfect space for spending time with friends and family. The living room boasts a large sectional couch with adjustable backrests so guests can customize their lounging/sitting while watching t.v. or taking a nap after a long morning in the sun and surf. The dining room table easily sits 6 people, perfect for those nights that guests prefer to cook a big meal rather than venture out to a restaurant. The kitchen has ample counter space, a pantry closet, dual sink, refrigerator and freezer with ice/water maker, dishwasher, and a stove/oven. All flatware, crockery, and cooking dishes are provided. A Keurig coffee maker, k-cups, sugar, and creamer can be located in the kitchen. For those who prefer traditional coffee, a Mr. Coffee and a French press are also available (ground coffee not provided). From the kitchen, guests will have a view of the ocean and can often see flocks of pelicans flying along the beach- lending the explanation of why we just HAD to name this The Pelican House!
The half bathroom is convenient to the living room and kitchen, so guests don't have to travel downstairs or through the master bedroom for a toilet.

The 3rd/ Master bedroom is located on the same floor as the kitchen and living room. It has a king sized bed, t.v., private porch, and ensuite bathroom. The master bathroom is spacious with a large vanity, shower, stand-alone bathtub, walk-in closet, and separate toilet room. The back porch provides a private space to sit- day or night, and overlooks the wooded back of the property. The woody area aids in reducing noise heard from A1A.
The back porch is also the only access to the crows nest.

Up on the crows nest, guests will have a 360 degree view of the area- from the inter coastal to the Atlantic Ocean. It's a great spot to watch the sunrise in the morning, sunbathe in the afternoon, and catch the sunset in the evening.

Nice house near beach

Location: House is on the second street back from the beach and a short walk to a main access point. The house is on an elevated section, so the driveway is on an incline. You can park on a pad at street level or at the top, and in the garage. House is in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to beach eateries, shopping, activities and landmarks.House: Nice, clean layout with two bedrooms and a full bath on the first level and a master bedroom, and one and a half baths on the second level. Facing the ocean is the kitchen, dining and living area and a large porch. Due to the height there are partial views of the ocean and a nice breeze. We loved hanging out on the porch throughout our stay. In the back there is a full-size grill outside on the ground floor, and a porch off the master bedroom and you can climb higher to a crow’s nest. Three TVs in two bedrooms and living room. Kitchen is well equipped, and there is a full washer and dryer.Other: Four beach chairs, beach umbrella, cooler on wheels, and two bikes in the garage. Outside is a hose and shower to rinse off. No fenced yard for a dog, but plenty of walking space in the neighborhood and on the beach. Dogs must be on a leash in the beach. Barley was in heaven.Beach: Expansive and not crowded. Walkable and rideable on bike. For a few bucks you can drive your four-wheel vehicle on the back of the beach. Being by the beach access point was a huge plus! So easy to walk there and back. Loved it!

Great beachside getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pelican House. The location was perfect for us, a quiet neighborhood with a short walk to the beach. Also just a short drive to Anastasia beach and downtown St Augustine where there are plenty of things to see and do. House was well stocked with everything we needed.

Great Beach House

The Pelican House was perfect for our Daytona 500 trip! The location was ideal—a short walk to the beach and a quick Uber to downtown St. Augustine. The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The hosts were welcoming and communicative, making our stay seamless. We’d book again in a heartbeat!
