    What's special

    Welcome to Bridgekeeper’s Cottage, a one-of-a-kind coastal retreat where historic character meets the laid-back lifestyle of Crescent Beach. Originally built in 1936 and located just steps from the sand, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers 1,320 square feet of living space, incredible ocean views, and the opportunity to own a truly special piece of St. Augustine’s coastline. Designed for easy beachside living, the first floor features a guest bedroom with two twin beds, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, laundry room, and an updated kitchen featuring solid wood cabinetry and beautiful soapstone countertops. Upstairs is where this home really shines. Filled with natural light, the spacious living area captures beautiful views of the Atlantic and opens to an oversized balcony, the perfect place for morning coffee, checking the surf, or unwinding in the evening with the ocean as your backdrop. Ocean views can be enjoyed from every room on the second floor. The primary suite continues the cottage’s timeless character with original wood floors and its own full bath featuring dual sinks, a jetted tub, and separate shower. Wake up to views of the ocean and fall asleep to the sound of the waves just beyond your door.With plenty of parking and offered as a turnkey vacation home, Bridgekeeper’s Cottage is equally suited for weekend escapes, an investment property, or your own full-time beach retreat. Spend your days surfing, walking the shoreline, or simply enjoying everything that makes Crescent Beach such a beloved stretch of St. Augustine. Located in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is not typically required by lenders, this historic beach cottage combines character, location, views, and an authentic coastal lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. Bridgekeeper’s Cottage isn’t just a beach house, it’s a piece of Crescent Beach history waiting for its next chapter.
