Beachfront Home-Pool, Private Beach Access + Stunning Ocean Views

We absolutely loved our stay at Ocean Pearl and would happily book again.The home was clean, spacious, and immaculate, perfectly suited for our group of six adults and three children (ages 10–15). Spending Christmas right on the beach was truly magical, and the house fit our needs beautifully.My family flew in from New York, while my husband and I live about 45 minutes south in Ormond Beach, so it was a wonderful place to gather everyone together. One of our favorite parts of the stay was watching the sunrises from the balcony each morning, absolutely stunning. We were also lucky to have perfect weather all week, with highs between 72–75 degrees, which made the experience even more special.The location was ideal: close to St. Augustine and conveniently near a grocery store, which made everything easy. Since we’re local, we were able to bring our own beach gear (chairs, towels, cooler, and umbrella). The property does not provide beach items, which would have been a surprise had we traveled from out of town, so my only suggestion would be to consider having basic beach gear available for guests.Overall, we loved everything about our stay. Ocean Pearl was the perfect setting for a memorable holiday, and we would absolutely return.

Such a great house and perfect location.

Beach vacation with family. Beautiful house beautiful beach. Close to downtown St Augustine

A perfect family retreat right on the ocean. Amazing views from the deck. The house is away from busy beaches but a short drive to restaurants and grocery stores.

Wonderful experience! Will definitely rebook for another trip!

We had 11 people staying here. I was totally nervous about having enough room. Well, overall we did good.Unfortunately the pull out couches were not comfortable. It was better for those people to sleep on the cushions and not pull out the mattress but that eliminated sleeping areas. Also, the bunk beds squeaked every time the person in the top bunk moved. Luckily I brought a twin air mattress.For a 2.3 million house, I did expect more. I will be contacting the home owner to offer my suggestions so the next renters will be happier!

We spent a week at this house after spending time at Walt Disney World. It was just what we needed. The house is just as described and very well equipped. The only thing I would suggest is adding a few more bath towels. The house is the best of both worlds with your own private pool and oceanfront. Perfect for all ages. (Our group, youngest 5, oldest 66). A short drive brings you into St. Augustine and everything it has to offer. Many options for restaurants in the area, although the kitchen is equipped to accommodate anything you want to prepare for a home-cooked meal. We would definitely stay here again!! I will say that we had a couple of minor issues the first night, most likely related to post-hurricane. The property manager came to the house the next day and addressed our concerns. Consider renting this place. You won’t be disappointed.

House was great! Unfortunately, the washer broke while we were there but they brought us extra towels. Also, the gas grill was also malfunctioning but we made do! The house was clean inside and had everything we needed. The communication was also great.

Crescent Beach is a lovely area with great restaurants and activities. The house was nice and pretty clean. Lots of towels and linens. There are some things that could be improved. The pool is much smaller than the pictures portrayed and extremely cold. I’ve rented many beach houses and never had an house that size that only provided one beach chair and one umbrella. You can rent beach gear except it’s super expensive. We ended up spending money buying our own and having to leave it there. The mattresses were not comfortable. There were roaches in the downstairs bedroom. The kitchen sink had almost no hot water and started leaking onto the floor the last day. The jacuzzi tub jets didn’t work and the blinds were very opaque and didn’t let you sleep in. The beach access/walkway is nice but there’s no signage indicating it’s a private home and people were using it to get off the beach.

Ocean Pearl was a great place for a group of friends to celebrate life with. The house has beautiful ocean views and a private walkway to the beach making access easy. Crescent Beach is conveniently located near grocery stores, restaurants and shopping.
