Where Madison By The Sea is
Madison By The Sea sits right across the street from Crescent Beach on Anastasia Island, St. Augustine. The sand is about a 4 minute walk from the front door. The house is brand new, with a private hot tub and a fenced backyard for your dog.
Quiet, steps from the sand, close to town
The house sits on a residential street in Crescent Beach, away from the busier stretches up the island, so evenings stay calm on the screened porch and in the covered hot tub.
Crescent Beach is about a 4 minute walk from the front door, across A1A and down the small beach path.
Historic downtown St. Augustine is about 18 minutes north, close enough for dinner on St. George Street and still home in time for the hot tub.
Your Crescent Beach rental, room by room
The whole house is yours, three bedrooms, a bonus room and two full baths, set up so a family or a group of friends can spread out after a day on Crescent Beach.
Why Crescent Beach
Crescent Beach takes its name from the sweeping curve of its shoreline, which runs between St. Augustine and Matanzas Inlet. It is a quieter, family friendly beach with an old Florida feel, a mostly residential stretch with a wide beach and easy parking.
That is the stretch Madison By The Sea calls home. Mornings start with a short walk to the water, and the busier spots up the island are there when you want them.
Getting to the sand
On foot
- Turn out of the driveway, cross A1A and follow the small beach path, about 4 minutes.
- Take the chairs, umbrella and beach toys from the backyard shed.
- Come back through the outdoor shower so the sand stays outside.
By car
- Drive 0.6 miles, about 2 minutes, to Crescent Beach Park for restrooms, gazebos and parking.
- If you want to drive onto the beach, vehicles are allowed at the main public access, with fees and passes required from March 1 through September 30.
- Park back in the driveway or garage when you are done.
What guests say about the beach
"Public beach right across the street. There is no sign. But once you come out of the house driveway, make a right then another right and cross the main road and you will see small trail that leads to the beach."
