This amazing vacation home has something for everyone to love! For those who cannot wait to see the ocean, a direct pedestrian-only boardwalk for beach access is just 0.1 miles away, a short stroll to the beautiful white sand coastline of Crescent Beach. On arrival, venture up the exterior stairs to the front porch with a lovely porch swing and bistro set. Once inside, you are welcomed into the bright and spacious open floor plan with tasteful beach decor. Venture back downstairs to experience one of the most loved features of this home, the tropical backyard oasis, and you may not want to leave!

Make lasting memories while enjoying the private solar-heated pool, with the option to add on a heated spa upon request and payment of a daily use fee once you book your stay. Enjoy the spacious enclosed backyard and tropical garden setting, complete with hammocks, an extra-large shaded picnic table and a separate dining table with oversized comfortable seating, poolside lounge chairs, a lighted Tiki bar area with grill and outdoor sink, and a firepit with plenty of seating! You will appreciate the spacious, pool-level, screened lanai with smart TV and all-weather seating, giving you plenty of options for enjoying the days or evenings indoors and out. The open-concept layout of the main living level provides multiple options for the whole family to spread out, as well as bar and table seating options to enjoy those family meals. Bonuses are the inviting east-facing covered front porch for morning coffee and the west-facing balcony off the main bedroom for sunset, pool, and backyard views.

Whether you enjoy relaxing at the beach or lounging poolside, going boating, kayaking, or fishing, you have it all here at Almost Heaven. This home is in a prime location with easy access to the beach as well as just a few short blocks to the Intercoastal Waterway/Matanzas River for picturesque sunsets. If you prefer to drive as an alternative to the pedestrian boardwalk, there is also direct beach access with free public parking and restrooms less than 0.5 miles from the property. You will appreciate the short drive to multiple nearby dining options along A1A in the Crescent Beach area.

Just 20 minutes away, historic downtown St. Augustine offers local breweries, entertainment options, and a multitude of restaurants and shops. And you will want to make time to walk the pedestrian-friendly Bridge of Lions, schedule a tour of the historic Castillo de San Marcos coquina fort, the beautiful grounds and atrium of the famous Flagler College, as well as take in the amazing views from the St. Augustine Lighthouse.

Wonderful home away from home!
This our second time here and we have not been disappointed, absolutely love coming here! The home is so close to the beach and town, perfect location. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for everyone! The pool and hot tub is the best part!! The back yard makes you feel like you’re in your own little oasis! Love the Tiki bar!

Almost Heaven Did Not Disappoint
What an amazing property for our girls trip. I can’t wait to return with my family. This heavenly home was a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the historic downtown area. If you didn’t want to go anywhere you would have everything you could imagine. The neighborhood was quiet and offered great walking and cycling opportunities. The front porch was a wonderful place to wake up and enjoy the sunrise and watch the birds at the feeder. There was even a relaxing Koi pond! The balcony off the main bedroom allowed a view of the sunset too. This tropical oasis truly had it all and was so comfortable and cozy. The kitchen was equipped with more than we needed to prepare multiple meals during our stay. One of my favorite places was the breathtaking back yard. The photos just don’t do this area justice with the pool, separate spa/hot tub, cabana, fire pit, screened porch, over-sized picnic table, shaded table seating, and plenty of lounge chairs all nestled among palm trees and other tropical flowers and plants. This property is truly Almost Heaven and a great value for all the amenities it provides.

This is our 3 rd time at this house. It is just beautiful and so peaceful. It has everything you need. The backyard is so amazing. The pool is fantastic. We just love this house. We are planning on booking it again next year. And Almost heaven is the perfect name for it. Thank you to the owners for letting us use your house. Love the new couch. It is so comfortable.
