If you are looking for a great place to stay, check out Creston House. Located on the south end of the island they are peaceful, relaxing, and steps from the beach. The pool is nice with plenty of seating. The condos themselves are well kept with easy parking. We stayed in the beachy 6D unit. It was absolutely everything we wanted in a getaway!

Beautiful beachfront condos

Booked Creston House 1A. The upholstery of chairs is dirty and rugged. The floor is not clean. Wifi is free but bandwith insufficient for a stable connection.
The phone must not be used except for local calls, incoming calls from overseas are blocked.
Pool rules are set but nobody seems to comply with them. Administration does not enforce them.
Ocean Village Club, also managed by Coastal Reality, is much more convenient and worth a recommendation.

Dirty appartment, insufficient wifi

Looking for a clean, safe, place to vacation with your family or friends...right on the beach? Then this is DEFINITELY the spot for you! The whole property is well landscaped and maintained with access to the beach via bridge over the dunes. Room 12B has been our home away from home for a couple years now, offering spacious room for a big family and cozy beach themed furnishings. The owners are incredibly sweet and friendly too! It's always clean and well stocked with a lovely view overlooking the dunes and since it is ground level, it's only a short walk to bridge. There is a shower and hose on the bridge to rinse off and the pool is a great size that accommodates all ages from  the shallow section to the deeper section. The location is great too, the nearest Winn Dixie is less than 10 minutes away, tons of dining options from fast food to quaint diner, aren't much farther. If you like sauntering through little shops nestled in tiny streets reeking of historic charm, then check out Historic St. Augustine,  which is less than 20 minutes from here.

Gorgeous location on beach....Wonderful owners!!!

We booked unit 2D, and assumed from the online info, pictures and price that it would be decent but nothing special. But we were pleasantly surprised! The overall complex and  buildings are nice. It's in a quiet area. The pool has what looks to be a new stone deck, and it's a good size, both clean and attractive, with plenty of chairs. The grounds around the units are nicely kept, and there is lots of grassy space around the pool for children to run around and play. The beach is beautiful, and right over the dunes. The wooden boardwalk that leads to the beach is pretty weather-worn (watch for splinters), but not unsafe. 
Unit 2D is adorable. It's an updated  two-story, two bedroom, two full bath unit decorated in a casual, beachy theme. It has 3 balconies (one off each bedroom, one off living area) with chairs and a side dune/ocean view from each. It also has a stacked washer and dryer, which is great for traveling with kids. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. and there were plenty of clean towels and washcloths. There are even some extra beach towels and boogie boards for use in the unit. A nice touch!

The only problems with Creston House could be a lack of nearby parking during the busy season. The first day we had to park one building over, but since then we have lucked out and found a spot closer to our building. But at night every spot is taken. Also, our unit is on the second floor and there are no elevators or carts for hauling luggage or groceries to the units. But that wasn't a big deal to us. 
Overall, we're really enjoying Creston House and unit 2D. It's just what the doctor ordered after a long, cold winter.

Pleasantly Surprised!

I just looked at my review from 2014, and saw that it was one- I loved our stay -as you can see from the review. I meant to give it a "5" so now it has been corrected ! It was a beautiful, clean , well furnished and supplied with everything you need, the pool was great and so close to the beach !

"OOPS!!!"

great location, safe and fun and we stayed in a beautiful condo with everything we needed provided by the owners, I would like to return every year !
It as a one bedroom unit but very spacious and the living area was large and comfortable, and the kitchen was perfect !
The pool and grounds were lovely and just steps to the beach.
