Direct access to the beach.  A 300-yard path to the white sand beach winds through pristine dunes.  Lush with sea lavender, sea oats, and sunflowers, these natural dunes are a rolling oasis, especially lovely in the low-angle light of dawn and dusk..  This section of Crescent Beach has no commercial development.  Often, it feels like it’s ‘all yours.’

View of the Atlantic Ocean.  The cottage’s wall-sized windows face the east, to an unbroken horizon of ocean.  Or, enjoy the view and the fresh air– but not the wind– on the deck, which is sheltered from prevailing NE winds.  Deck seating for six.
 

 Living area.  An open floor plan, wicker furniture, and rich, all-wood interior create an easy, airy ambiance.  Two sofas, three chairs, a claw foot coffee table, wicker end tables, and sisal rug.

Just close enough... Minutes from grocery store, seafood market, ice cream and coffee shops, hardware store, kite shops, bike rentals, Marineland, Matanzas Inlet fishing (3 miles south) and of course, historic St. Augustine (6 miles north).  90 minutes from Orlando.  40 minutes from Daytona.  Or... just ‘stay home’ at the beach.

Oyster shell midden.  Be a part of history!  Shuck oysters at Pounds Cottage, and throw your shells on the pile!  Fifty years high and still growing, it’s a monumental midden.
