Cozy Cottage

We loved staying at Crescent Moon. The cottage was clean and well equipped with unique decor. Easy check in and check out. The Bonus was the fenced in courtyard. The cottage is in a quiet safe area with a short walk to a beautiful beach. We definitely would stay there again!

Quite little getaway

Basic bungalow by the beach. Cute little enclosed patio for some private outdoor space- really came in handy when it was really windy because it kept wind at bay and sun in.Really good cuban bakery across the street and beach access was very convenient.

Thank you so much for another great stay at your adorable cottage! This was our 4th trip and we enjoy it more each time. The cottage is SO clean and has literally everything you need for your stay.

Perfect little getaway

We live inland away from the beach here in Florida and like to rent near the coast as a staycation. This place is very close to the beach and has an eclectic atmosphere. I LOVED it! If I had a “save” button, I’d add this rental home to my favorites list. Thank you!

Everything you need in this cute cottage

Wish we had more time at this cottage, the host has such an interesting place, lamps, wall art, light switches, soft sheets,adorable bedspread, soft toilet paper:) so much more catches your eye. The patio is lovely to have a morning coffee and was fenced in so the dogs could sit with us.The beach is about a minute walk and goes on for ever. Dogs are allowed, yet it was so clean. Martie is a sweetheart to deal with and quick to reply to any questions. If we are in the area again we would love to stay here again.A+ Host

Another great stay at the Crescent Moon

This was our third stay at this property. Martie has thought of everything to make your stay here comfortable. The cottage is incredibly clean and cozy. The kids loved the new sleeper couches in the living room. We didn’t bring the pup for this trip but we love that she’s welcome here. The location absolutely can’t be beat. It’s a quick 2-minute walk to the beach, the neighborhood is quiet but friendly, and all the St. Augustine must-sees are less than a 20 minute drive. Thanks for another great stay. We’ll be back soon!

As always, we had a great time. We are very happy that everything was clean and stocked as stated. The furbabies enjoy themselves as well walking on the beach. Weather was typical Fl weather. Sunny and hot then rain and storms. Martie is a great hostess and very responsive if you need anything. This is our 3 trip and will definitely be back.

Located in a quiet, low traffic neighborhood a football field or so from the beach. Wonderful front sitting area. Another great and more private sitting area on the side near the grilling area. Great HVAC system. Enjoyed the stay and would return if in the area. Reasonably priced, clean, and had eveything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Martie McLean

Host profile image
I'm 75 years old and I live in Ocala, Florida. I have rented the front of the property for 15 years and have had fantastic reviews through VRBO other vacation websites. I also have a rental at Dekle Beach Florida that keeps me busy during scalloping season. I take great pride in my beautiful places and am very responsive to any of our guests' needs. I do not live locally but can be there in 2 hours. I have a team of folks that help me with any issues you may encounter. I am available by phone but especially by email. The lovely cottage is tastefully decorated with my whimsical style, and fully furnished. I want nothing more than for you to have a wonderful time at Ooo Laa Laaah and /or the Crescent Moon.

Why they chose this property

Butler Beach is one of the nicest beaches in Florida. I wanted a place in this quaint little neighborhood. 4 minute walk to the beach and very private. No busy roads to cross as it is EAST of A1A.

What makes this property unique

Private, quiet, and very close to the beach. It is not a condo scene with stairs and noise from other guests. Pets are welcome but no more than two pets allowed. One or two pets is an additional $10 a night. The house has no steps to get into the home. The king bed is a Saatva mattress. All amenities are there. I take care of it as it is my home away from home when I need it.
