Deals for 'Nights of Lights'- Stunning Oceanfront Condo on Crescent Beach

Welcome to Driftwood Dunes — your oceanfront escape in beautiful St. Augustine, Florida! We are the Cole Family, and we are truly delighted to host you. Our hope is that you enjoy a peaceful, relaxing, and memorable getaway by the sea. We have remodeled the condo extensively and poured a heap of love and labor into it and hope you enjoy your home from home. It is a truly relaxing place. Do not miss the sunrise, it is stunning.

We will provide you with a ‘welcome’ coffee bar containing coffee, tea, sugar and some snacks such as Pringles, or nuts/cookies and there is fresh milk & bottled water in the fridge. Please do not eat anything that you know will affect any allergies you may have, e.g., nuts.

The mattresses both in the Master and sofa bed are sanitized with a UV light and dust mite machine after every guest stay. That is a unique service that we offer that you won’t find anywhere else. We also use the best waterproof protective covers and layer these with extra protectors and luxury linens. We also use summer and winter comforters as well as luxury coastal bed linens.

Enjoy the beautiful bathroom which is newly remodeled with high pressure shower, bathtub, and hair dryer in the bathroom. There is also a shaving/make up wall mounted mirror with 10x magnification with LED lighting. You will find accessories in the bathroom rack dispenser for the shower, Band-Aids if needed and hand lotion.

Two wall mounted flat TV's, free WIFI and everything you need in the kitchen to cook up a storm. Also, you will find iron & ironing board for your convenience, along with a handheld steamer. The iron and steamer are located in the console cupboard where you will also find an extra-large cooking pot and children's crockery.

Please ensure you keep the sofa cover provided, on the sofa at all times if you have a service animal with you for your visit, thank you we appreciate this consideration. No guest cats permitted. Please also ensure your service pet is up to date with flea & worming treatment for the convenience of other guests and the environment. We cannot accept pets that are not up to date with vaccinations due to the large number of other pets at the resort, both owner and guest pets. There is a newly revamped area for pets behind the Lobby building. Dogs are permitted on the beach too!

The beautiful pool is heated to around 84 degrees (in summer) and overlooks the beach and has plenty of seating and sunbathing areas.

We provide beach towels for each guest, beach chairs and a shading umbrella, and you have exclusive access to the Beach with a shower on the beach deck. Access code for guests will be provided on the day of check-in. Please ensure you rinse sand of the beach chairs and umbrella if used. There is a rinse hose just as you enter the private beach access gate (by the pool).

Relax, breathe in the ocean air, and enjoy every moment. Please read the Welcome Guide with the house and resort rules. There will also be a parking permit left for you in the Guide. The Welcome Guide contains lots of helpful information and recommendations on where to eat and what kind of activities you might like to do.

We also highly recommend Wake2wakefl.com and if you quote DRIFTWOOD10 you will get a discount for any of the water tours that Captain Grant provides, we definitely recommend sandbar days (half days also) or the sunset tour which is spectacular as you can see the beautiful City of St Augustine at night in all its splendor.
