Perfect Vacay in Penthouse Paradise

We loved the location as this unit is about 8-10 miles from downtown St. Augustine so it’s not too crowded yet close enough to great restaurants and entertainment. The unit itself is just like the pictures (nicely decorated) with plenty of room for our family of 6 to enjoy time together, as well as space to ourselves when we needed it. The view from the living room and balcony was icing on the cake as we enjoyed beautiful sunrises each morning and some amazing fireworks on the 4th of July. The pool was wonderful and so close to the beach. We would definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to this area.

Favorite vacation

It was a wonderful stay. The penthouse was gorgeous! My children loved the ease with which they could go back and forth between the pool and the beach. The view is magical and I drank my morning coffee looking out onto the water . Some minor issues with blinds and sugar ants but owner/management responded immediately! Will stay again!

Awesome and Beautiful

The apartment was beautiful the exterior needed a little help such as Elevator and Stairs. We got to see the turtles hatching it was really interesting. We had to purchase two umbrellas and two chairs, but we kept them there for the next time we return because it was a great tine.

Beautiful Beach Front Condo

The condo was in a great location, beautiful beach. The only thing lacking was a Dish cloth and only one dish towel that we had to keep washing. The condo was very well stocked with anything else you would need plenty of dishes, nice cookware pots and pans and plenty of bath towels, washcloths, etc. The furniture and decor were completely top-notch and beautifully decorated. The location of the dumpster to take garbage was very inconvenient. Also communication with the rental company was only by email and very delayed. The check in instructions were given on our way to our first destinations and it was instructed for us to print a parking pass. We had no access to a printer and it took a couple days for them to communicate how we should handle that. I would stay in this beautiful condo again, even though there were some obstacles with the rental company.

Love the views and great location

Overall, this is a great condo to stay in and the host was very easy to communicate with. The furnishings overall are very nice - only complaint is one of the king size beds is so soft that it almost encloses around you when lay in the bed. But if someone likes very soft beds, they will love this one. The kitchen comes fairly well stocked with pots, pans, plates, glasses, silverware, etc. Could use more mixing and storage bowl options if you choose to cook in rather than eat out. The view and proximity to the beach is great! And the view from the front of the unit to the sound is beautiful as well! Gorgeous sunrises over the ocean in the mornings and stunning sunsets over the sound in the evenings.

Had a few challenges when we first arrived but they were resolved for the most part. I did not want workers in the condo while we were there on vacation so I asked that things be done - (extermination and plumbing) after we left.

Short of Paradise

We had to wait 2 hrs. past check in time for unit to be cleaned. Only 6 towels & 6 wash cloths- not adequate for a family at the beach. No dish washing cloths at all. We love Crescent Beach. Been coming 30+ years. Our happy place. Stayed at Sand Dollar most of these trips. Unit was well decorated.

Property: Excellent, Manager: Disappointing

Penthouse Paradise is well named. This unit is absolutely gorgeous and well appointed. My husband and I had a fabulous stay. The penthouse view is amazing, providing spectacular sun and moon rises over the ocean. Dolphin sightings and the daily gopher tortoise activity gave us many hours of enjoyment. The master bed was very comfortable and we were thrilled with gigantic tvs. We didn't have quite enough hangers so we moved a few from the other bedroom closets, but otherwise there was plenty of space for clothing storage. The only blemish to the whole wonderful stay was a follow up email from the property manager suggesting we "accidently" took hangers and a little Mickey Mouse figurine from the unit. I immediately explained the movement of the hangers between bedrooms and adamantly maintained we did not remove anything from the unit, and that the Mickey was on the entry table when we departed. I asked for a re-examination of the unit, but was refused. Ergo, this was a troubling end to our otherwise fabulous month long stay at Paradise Penthouse.

Best Beach Condo Ever!

When you open the front door, all you see is ocean.... The view was like being on a boat, but without the sea sickness!!! Great view out the other side of the Intercoastal Waterway as well. Everything about the place was awesome. It was almost hard to leave the condo, even to go outside to the beach!!! Good kitchen supplies, hair dryers, room for unpacking, etc. Easy access to restaurants and groceries right up the beach, and a quick ride north into St. Augustine, or south into Flagler and on to Daytona as well. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

The Sunrise was stunning

The condo was exactly as listed beautiful clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed which was great as we did a lot of cooking. The crock pot came in very handy. The coffee pot is a combined Keurig I loved so much I purchased one when I got home. The turtles out on the front lawn were a treat for the kids as were the morning dolphins. The closet has beach chairs, sand toys and a cart to carry it all down. Beach towels and extra linens were great. Rikki answered the only simple question I had promptly. Great place to stay. Oh, and on the lower parking deck there is carts to help with your luggage. Will definitely be coming back.

Love Crescent Beach

We have stayed in the Crescent Beach area several times & absolutely love it! We have stayed at a couple different Sand Dollar condos now & they have been wonderful. Penthouse Paradise was very nicely updated. Furniture, overall, was very comfortable - except the main bedroom bed, which was not comfortable at all! We either slept on the couch or kicked one of the kids out of their bed. If the main bed were replaced, we would say it was a great place to stay!
