Point Break St. Augustine, FL: A Crescent Beach Stay
Point Break St. Augustine, FL is a three-bedroom Crescent Beach house from In The Sun VR that sleeps six. It comes with a hot tub, fenced yard, fire pit, kayaks, and paddle boards. A pedestrian path reaches Crescent Beach access in 0.1 miles, and dogs are welcome with a fee.
Key Takeaways
Point Break is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for up to 6 guests, with two queen bedrooms on the second floor and a king primary suite on the third.
A pedestrian walk path leads to Crescent Beach access, Crescent Beach Park is 0.4 miles away, and the Green Road Boat Ramp (a kayak and paddle board launch) is 1.0 miles away.
Kayaks, SUP boards, life jackets, and beach essentials are included, along with a hot tub, outdoor shower, fire pit, and a Sand Pickle court.
The oversized backyard is fully fenced, and dogs are welcome with a fee.
The St. Augustine Lighthouse is 8.1 miles away and the Historic District is 10.1 miles away, so this is a beach base with day trips into town, not a walk-to-downtown stay.
Bring your own firewood and laundry detergent; the house supplies coffee, linens, and a two-night starter kit of paper goods.
Search results for Crescent Beach rentals tend to blur together: a hot tub photo, a mention of the beach, a nightly rate. This article pulls out what is specific to Point Break: the bed configuration, walking distances, gear package, and the kind of guest who will get the most from it in 2026.
At In The Sun VR, we manage Point Break alongside a portfolio of St. Augustine homes that spans Vilano Beach, downtown, and the Crescent Beach area. The details below come from the listing and from how we stock and run this house. If you want the broader market picture first, our guide to vacation rentals across St. Augustine covers neighborhoods and seasons.
What Is Point Break in St. Augustine, FL?
Point Break is a three-story, three-bedroom house near Crescent Beach in St. Augustine, FL, managed by In The Sun VR and built around water gear and outdoor living. It sleeps up to six guests, with ground-level storage for kayaks and paddle boards, a backyard hot tub, and a fully fenced yard that welcomes dogs for a fee.
The house works best as an activity base. Kayaks, paddle boards, and laundry live on the ground level. The second floor holds the kitchen, living area, and two queen bedrooms, while a king primary suite and a loft sit above. That vertical split keeps sandy gear away from the living space and gives the primary bedroom its own floor. You can check dates for Point Break on the direct booking page.

How Is the House Laid Out Across Three Floors?
Point Break's floor plan is a vertical, three-level layout: gear and laundry on the ground level, the kitchen, living room, and two queen bedrooms on the second floor, and the primary suite plus a loft on the third. Each floor has one clear job, which keeps a six-person stay from feeling crowded.
Ground Level: The Gear Room
The ground level holds the kayaks, paddle boards, and beach essentials, along with a washer and dryer and secure storage. After a paddle, you can rinse at the outdoor shower and stow equipment without tracking sand upstairs. An iron and ironing board are also provided.
Second Floor: Living, Kitchen, and Two Queen Bedrooms
You enter the main living area on the second floor, which has high ceilings, plenty of natural light, comfortable seating, a Smart TV, and a front balcony. The kitchen has an electric stove, a full set of tools and utensils, and both a Keurig and a regular coffee maker. Four people fit at the kitchen table and countertop seating. Two private queen bedrooms, each with ample closet space, complete the floor.
Step outside the living room and you reach the second-story deck. It has an outdoor dining table for six with an umbrella, plush sofa seating, and a propane grill.
Third Floor: Primary Suite and Loft
The primary bedroom has its own floor, with a king bed, a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom, and a sofa for reading. The loft next door is a hangout space with bean bag chairs, a Smart TV, books, and games, which suits kids at night and adults on a rainy afternoon. The second bathroom is a full bath stocked with premium toiletries.
Where Is Point Break, and How Close Is Crescent Beach Access?
Crescent Beach is the stretch of Anastasia Island coastline south of St. Augustine Beach, and Point Break sits a short walk from its public access along a dedicated pedestrian path. It is the closest of every distance on the listing, and it defines what kind of stay this is.
Point Break is not oceanfront. If your search was for a house directly on the sand, this is not that property. You walk the pedestrian path with a chair and a paddle board instead, which many guests prefer because the house sits back from salt spray and beach-day crowds. Crescent Beach Park is 0.4 miles away and the Green Road Boat Ramp is 1.0 miles away.
Beach conditions and access notices can change with tides and storms, so as of 2026 check the official St. Johns County beach information before you travel. Current conditions matter more than any listing description.

What Amenities Does the Point Break Vacation Rental Include?
The Point Break amenity package is a coastal-activity setup: kayaks, SUP boards, life jackets, and beach essentials on the ground level, plus a hot tub, outdoor shower, fire pit, and fenced yard outside. Inside, a fully stocked kitchen, 500 Mbps WiFi, a washer and dryer, and premium linens cover the everyday needs of a six-person stay.
Water Gear and Beach Essentials
Kayaks and SUP boards come with the house, and so do life jackets, which matters if you bring kids. The Green Road Boat Ramp at 1.0 miles is the practical launch point for paddling. Ask the team before arrival how many kayaks and boards are on hand so you can match them to your group. Confirm what the beach essentials cover if you plan to skip packing towels or chairs.
Backyard: Hot Tub, Fire Pit, and Sand Pickle Court
The oversized backyard is fully fenced and has a shaded lounge area with a sofa, chairs, and a table for six. The hot tub anchors it, with cushioned sun loungers nearby. A fire pit handles evening marshmallows, but bring your own wood. A Sand Pickle court adds a twist on traditional pickleball, and the fence lets dogs roam without a leash.
Kitchen and Household Supplies
The kitchen lets you cook real meals rather than reheat takeout. Coffee is included, and the house provides fresh premium linens for each guest. A two-night starter supply covers paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, dish soap, and sponges. A first aid kit stays on site. One catch: the house does not supply laundry detergent or dryer sheets because of skin sensitivity, so pack your own.
Connectivity and Downtime
WiFi runs at 500 Mbps, enough for video calls and streaming on the living room and loft Smart TVs at the same time. The loft also has books and games, a low-tech option when afternoon storms roll through.
What Is There to Do Within 10 Miles of Point Break?
Attractions near Point Break stretch from Crescent Beach Park at 0.4 miles to the St. Augustine Historic District at the far end, with Fort Matanzas National Monument, the St. Augustine Lighthouse, and the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in between. Beach days sit at your doorstep, while history days need a short drive.
Beaches, Paddling, and Nature
Most guests start on the sand. Crescent Beach Park and Butler Beach (2.0 miles) give you alternatives when the closest access point is busy, and St. Augustine Beach is 5.2 miles away. Compared with the busier stretch at St. Augustine Beach, Crescent Beach tends to feel quieter and more residential, with fewer restaurants but easier parking near the access points. Anastasia State Park is another beach and nature option on the Anastasia Island side. Fort Matanzas National Monument, 4.2 miles from the house, suits a half-day outing; confirm current hours with the National Park Service before you drive.
History and Downtown Days
The St. Augustine Historic District is where the walking-tour crowd goes. Castillo de San Marcos National Monument anchors it, and the Lightner Museum fills a rainy afternoon. Closer to Point Break, the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum is 8.1 miles away, and the St. Augustine Alligator Farm is 8.3 miles away. Parking downtown gets tight in peak season and during the holiday light displays, so arrive early or plan an off-peak morning.

Who Is Point Break Best Suited For?
Point Break is best suited to small groups of up to six who want beach access, paddling gear, and a private backyard more than a walkable downtown address. It fits families, couples traveling with friends, and dog owners. It fits poorly for larger parties or anyone who wants to stroll to St. George Street each evening.
Guest type | Fit | Why |
Families with kids | Strong | Fenced yard, life jackets, Sand Pickle court, loft with games |
Paddle and beach-gear travelers | Strong | Kayaks and SUP boards on site, boat ramp nearby |
Dog owners | Strong | Dogs welcome with a fee, oversized fenced yard |
Couples wanting a private soak | Good | Hot tub, outdoor shower, fire pit, own floor for the primary suite |
Groups larger than six | Poor | The listing caps occupancy at six |
Walk-everywhere history buffs | Poor | The Historic District is a car ride away |
That last row has a straightforward answer. If you want to stay inside the Historic District, look at the Victorian Villa, a restored three-story home about a six-minute walk from St. George Street that sleeps 12 across six bedrooms, or the Restored Historic Church near downtown. Both are managed by In The Sun VR. You can browse Victorian Villa and the Church House directly, or read more in our downtown St. Augustine coverage.
Point Break also has no private pool. The hot tub covers year-round soaking, but if a swimming pool is non-negotiable for your group, filter for it before you fall for the kayaks.
How Much Does Point Break Cost per Night, and How Do You Book It?
Point Break's nightly rate is dynamic, shifting with season, day of the week, and local demand, so the live price on the direct booking page is the only accurate number. In The Sun VR adjusts pricing as demand moves, which means a Tuesday in shoulder season and a holiday weekend can look very different.
For context, the table below shows market-wide averages for Saint Augustine vacation rentals in 2026, published by RedAwning. They describe the market, not Point Break's own rate, but they give you a benchmark for what a three-bedroom stay typically costs in this area.
Rental size in Saint Augustine, FL | Average daily rate (RedAwning, 2026) |
1 bedroom | $208 |
2 bedrooms | $267 |
3 bedrooms | $386 |
4 bedrooms | $549 |
All vacation rentals | $297 |
Short-term rental market occupancy | 64% |
A 64% market occupancy rate means roughly one in three nights sits empty across the market, which is why booking a specific weekend in peak season early still makes sense even though last-minute openings do occur.
How to Book Point Break
Open the Point Break booking page.
Enter your check-in and check-out dates and your guest count, up to six.
Review the live nightly rate and any listed fees, including the pet fee if a dog is traveling with you.
Read the house rules and stay details, then submit your reservation.
Before arrival, plan your grocery run and pack firewood and laundry detergent.
What Should You Pack and Plan Before Arriving at Point Break?
Planning for Point Break means covering the few items the house does not supply, then timing your beach and downtown outings around tides and crowds. A short checklist prevents the two most common surprises: no firewood for the fire pit and no detergent for the washer.
Firewood: the fire pit is ready, but the wood is on you.
Laundry detergent and dryer sheets: the washer and dryer are on the ground level, and neither product is supplied.
Groceries: Winn-Dixie is 3.7 miles away and Publix is 4.0 miles away, so stock up before your first cookout on the grill.
Refills after night two: the starter kit of paper goods and consumables covers two nights, so buy more for longer stays.
Dog supplies: bring your own bed, bowls, and leash, and disclose the pet when you book.
Tide and weather check: look at beach conditions and forecasts before you launch a kayak or paddle board.
Why Does a Gear-Focused House Like Point Break Book Differently?
A gear-focused vacation rental is a house whose amenities are chosen to match the activities its location supports, rather than a generic list of extras. Point Break follows that approach: paddle equipment sits a mile from the Green Road Boat Ramp, a walk path leads to Crescent Beach, and the outdoor shower handles the rest.
We see a clear pattern across our portfolio. Vilano Beach homes such as In the Sun and Vilano Vista attract guests who want games, golf simulators, and group entertainment, while Crescent Beach guests tend to want low-key water days. Point Break's gear package is aimed squarely at the second group. Guests who see kayaks and life jackets in a listing read the house as an activity base and plan their trip around it, which usually leads to better stays and better reviews.
One tip for first-time visitors: paddle early. Mornings are typically calmer on the water, and by afternoon the beach and boat ramp fill up. Save the hot tub and fire pit for the evening, and keep downtown trips to weekday mornings when parking is easier.
If you own a beach-area home and want to see how amenities can match location, our guide to St. Augustine vacation rental management uses houses like this one as an example.
Is Point Break the Right Crescent Beach Stay for You?
Point Break St. Augustine, FL suits you if your priorities are a short walk to Crescent Beach, kayaks and paddle boards on site, a hot tub and fire pit, and a fenced yard for the dog. It is a poor match for groups above six or for guests who want to walk to St. George Street. Check the live rate for your dates before you compare it with the 2026 market averages above.
Point Break St. Augustine, FL rewards guests who plan a little: pack firewood and detergent, book early for holiday weekends, and give yourself extra time for the 10-mile trip into the Historic District.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Point Break cost per night in St. Augustine?
Point Break's nightly rate changes with season, weekday, and demand, so the live price on the direct booking page is the accurate figure. For a market benchmark, RedAwning reports an average daily rate of $386 for three-bedroom rentals in Saint Augustine in 2026. That figure describes the market, not this specific house.
How do I book Point Break?
Open the Point Break booking page, enter your dates and guest count (up to six), review the live rate and any fees, and submit your reservation. Booking goes through In The Sun VR's direct booking site. If you are bringing a dog, note the pet fee before you confirm.
Is Point Break near Crescent Beach access, and is it oceanfront?
Point Break is close to Crescent Beach access by a pedestrian walk path, the shortest distance on the listing. It is not oceanfront, so you walk to the sand rather than step onto it. Crescent Beach Park is 0.4 miles away for additional beach access.
Is Point Break pet friendly?
Yes. Dogs are welcome with a fee. The oversized backyard is fully fenced, so dogs can move around freely, and you should bring your own bed, bowls, and leash.
How far is Point Break from the St. Augustine Historic District?
The Historic District is 10.1 miles from Point Break. Expect a car ride of roughly 20-30 minutes depending on traffic, longer in peak season when downtown parking fills. The St. Augustine Lighthouse is closer at 8.1 miles.
Are there vacation rentals available in the St. Augustine Historic District?
Yes. In The Sun VR manages the Victorian Villa, about a six-minute walk from St. George Street, and the Restored Historic Church near downtown. Point Break is a beach-area alternative, not a Historic District rental. Check live availability on each booking page.
What is the best month to visit St. Augustine?
Spring and fall shoulder months typically balance warm weather with lighter crowds, while summer is peak beach season and the holiday light displays draw winter visitors. The best month depends on whether you value beach days, cooler walking weather, or events. Our seasonal breakdown of St. Augustine covers how demand shifts through the year.
