About this property

The Beach is Calling Book now for the summ

Come to St Augustine and experience all it has to offer from this direct oceanfront, 2 bedroom/2 bath one level condo with views of ocean and Intracoastal Waterway Matanzas River! Every room and balcony has breath-taking water views!!! And in 300 steps you are on the perfect beach for swimming, walking, riding a bike or sunbathing. Or cross the road to fish from the fishing dock or launch your kayak in the river. This is the place for your next vacation

What makes this vacation destination so special?

* SPECTACULAR OCEAN FRONT & RIVER VIEWS
The unit is direct oceanfront, located on Crescent Beach in St. Augustine, Florida. What’s special are not only the breathtaking view of the ocean, but also of the Intracoastal Waterway and Matanza River and the low lands to the West. When you step through the front door you’ll be surprised at the sight of the ocean and be drawn to the private balcony to take it all in. Wait till you see the sun and moon rising over the ocean!

As you sit at the breakfast bar, you’ll have a difficult time choosing whether to look at the river and the boats going by, or at the ocean and the waves breaking on the beach. The unit is special in that every room has water views! From the dining area or from the many front porches you’ll love watching the sky change to all the colors of the rainbow, and be reflected in the river as the sun sets. The sight of the river flowing by is mesmerizing, calming and so peaceful!

* PROXIMITY TO THE BEACH AND THE INTRACOASTAL & RIVER
In 300 steps you are on the beach. Crescent Beach is kid friendly with tidal pools and wonderful sand for building castles. You can go for miles on the warm beach walking, jogging, scavenging for seashells or biking. The soft white sand and clear blue water make this one of the best beaches in Florida. It's a very wide beach with room to spread out and play: body-surfing, surfing, boogie boarding, sailboarding, kite boarding, surf fishing, sea kayaking, kite flying, Frisbee, boccie, and football. And, of course, just sunbathing and relaxing.

For an alternative to the beach, bring your personal water-crafts and fishing gear. There’s access to the river directly across the street for launching kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. Also there’s a private fishing dock. You might just catch dinner. The complex is only one of three that offer this option. If you have a boat on a trailer, there are several boat ramps within 3 miles. Ask about availability of onsite storage for your boat during your stay.

* WELL-APPOINTED AND FURNISHED UNIT

You’ll be surprised at the quality of the furnishings. This is not your traditional beach front rental.

From the balcony there is nothing between you and the ocean but natural vegetation, dunes and sand. It's a spectacular view, from the moment dawn breaks over the horizon, to the night sky glittering with stars. The murmur of the surf, the sight of pelicans and other sea birds, and the breezes from the ocean, make the balcony a delightful place. The sliders to the balcony are new and easy to open. Storm shutters are also easy to open and close.
The interior of the unit is as wonderful as the great outdoor area. It’s an airy open floor plan. Unlike other beachfront units, from the living room you can see through the unit to the dining area and out the window to the Intracoastal Waterway and Matanzas River.
The living room has two couches for relaxing, while watching the 58" smart TV. There’s cable with and DRV recording ability, so you won't have to miss your favorite TV programs, and WiFi.

The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and granite counter tops. Seating at the bar is a great place to sit. If you love to cook, this kitchen has everything you need, from quality cookware and utensils, microwave and coffeemaker, a Ninja Blender for making tropical drinks or smoothies. If you’re not into cooking, there are a number of wonderful places nearby for breakfast, lunch and dinner

This unit is also unique in the kitchen is located between the living room and dining area in an open layout. No walls here to block the view. This is a wonderful layout as the dining area is separated from the living room. One can linger over have dinner and others can watch TV or play games in the living room.

The ocean front bedroom makes it easy to forget you’re on land when you sleep at night; from the new king size I-Sleep bed allows each person to set the bed to their preference of firmness. See the ocean waves and open the sliding glass doors to the balcony to feel cool breezes and hear the lulling sounds of waves on the beach. There is ample storage, walk-in closet and a TV

The adjoining bathroom will surprise you with the large walk-in shower that offers a view of the ocean the bathroom area has double sinks, a separate toilet and shower area. Renovations to both bathrooms completed late 2023

The second bedroom has a king size bed with ample storage, and direct access to the second full bathroom. TV. Watching the water flow by in the river is almost as soothing as hearing the waves on the beach from the master bedroom.

All of the towels for both bathrooms, beach towels too, are provided. As are all of the linens, blankets, and pillows for the beds. A full size washer and dryer in the unit make laundry easy, not that you want to do laundry on vacation.

On the balcony is table seating and high top chairs. Beach chairs, toys and umbrella are provided. Also chairs to use on the front balcony to watch the beautiful sunsets.

* ON SITE AMENITIES
The complex is gated and offers, an unheated pool, a new tennis paddle board court, an outdoor grill near the pool and tennis court, beautiful grounds, covered parking, uncovered parking, an elevator. Recent exterior improvements to the building makes Windjammer more attractive than ever. The balcony and walkways have new floor coating and railing.

Great Vacation Place
We had a fantastic time staying here. The condo is very nice and very comfortable right on the beach. Everything we needed and wanted was there for us. The master suite is incredible with the ocean views and especially the morning sunrises. Loved watching the shorebirds and especially all of the close up pelican fly byes. Great and convenient location to explore things all around Saint Augustine. We look forward to future visits.

About the host

Hosted by Ginger Borgman

Host profile image
I'm originally from Texas the land of warmth. After living in Connecticut 20+ years I bought Windjammer as a place to escape. Now living in Florida full time I'm very happy to be back living in the sun and out of the snow and being cold!!! I was a real estate appraiser for 25 years and am now involved with three different adventures. I love to cook and any excuse for a party is sufficient to have one. You will find Windjammer well stocked for doing just that.

I love St. Augustine and live here full time. It is a wonderful community with so much to offer in ways of entertainment, (music, theater, concerts), restaurants , outdoor activities, hanging at the beach, hiking, great golf. The history of St. Augustine and all there is to do downtown offers many different venues and events.

Why they chose this property

A little background this is a dream come true for me. In the 1980's I vacationed in Mexico in a beautiful condo overlooking the Pacific. Ever since then I had dreamed of owning a place right on the beach. Then in the 1990's I had a small river in my backyard and I loved watching the water flow by. My husband's love of summer vacations at the beach was the incentive to act on my dream. When I walked into Windjammer I knew my dreams had come true. Ocean to the East, Matanza River with low lands to the West, truly the best of both worlds all in one place. I love being here, hope you'll love being here too.

Windjammer is the perfect place to escape to. Exterior improvements of the complex that started in August 2017 were completed in February 2018. Exterior is looking great with new floor coverings on the balconies and walkways. Plus nicer railings that offer even better viewing watching the ocean or the river. The landscaping has been overhauled and there is a new tennis court and patio area with grills

What makes this property unique

The views of both the ocean and the river are truly amazing. The ocean might have big waves yet the river is calm and flowing by. I love the privacy of the unit, many places I looked at the balcony faced other balconies. Those I felt as if I was in a fish bowl. The location of the unit, though called 1st floor, is not at ground level. It is located above the garage (and no sound from the garage). The unit is accessible by a staircase that only we and the unit next to us use, an they are not here often. The location of the unit within the complex is superior to other units that overlook the walkover.

The unit was bought furnished though new living room furniture in 2020.. Everyone that has come to visit keeps asking, did it come with this, and this, and how about this. I have added my own pieces along with art work to make the unit truly a home away from home.
