Enjoy luxurious accommodations in this newly renovated, oceanfront home on expansive, and family-friendly Crescent Beach! The premiere feature of the beautifully appointed Turtle Dunes Beachfront Retreat is the VIEW of the Atlantic Ocean which can be enjoyed all day long from the living spaces, most bedrooms, deck, and balcony! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the ocean, or an evening sunset over the intracoastal from the west-facing balcony. Best of all, take an easy stroll across a private boardwalk right onto the gorgeous white sands of Crescent beach to relish the natural dunes, wildlife, surf, and wide spaces to walk, play, or just relax in the sun with family and friends.
With two expansive levels of indoor space connected by an open staircase and elevator, Turtle Dunes has been thoughtfully furnished as a vacation paradise, featuring a fully stocked, gourmet kitchen with all the "bells and whistles" including a huge island and breakfast bar, stainless appliances such as double ovens and induction stove, and specialty items like a countertop ice machine, beverage cooler, and quesadilla maker. The open-concept primary living areas and outdoor spaces offer plenty of room for the whole group to gather during meal prep and dining, and to relax while watching a movie, playing a board game, or listening to music on the WiFi sound system all while enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean.
Downstairs, a handy kitchenette, second dining space, and a large living space are conveniently located next to a game room and back patio, perfect for coming in from the beach for a quick snack, game of ping-pong, or vintage arcade! An outdoor storage closet is stocked with beach chairs, towels and gear, and an outdoor shower makes rinsing off a breeze. The lower porch features high-top dining, adirondack seating, and a sofa swing.
Throughout the home, comfortable furnishings and soft beach hues will enhance your relaxation. Sleeping options abound in 8 bedrooms, 6 of which feature a king bed and en suite bathroom. One suite is accessible for guests with mobility issues and an elevator makes moving around easy. All bedrooms are equipped with smart TVs and outfitted with crisp, white linens. There is plenty of room for the whole family to shower and freshen up in the 8.5 bathrooms stocked with soft white towels and shower amenities.
Tucked away from A1A by a long, private driveway, Turtle Dunes Beachfront Retreat is surrounded by Florida's natural beauty, and offers the perfect beach vacation getaway, no matter the season!
Just a few minutes away, enjoy fishing or swimming in the beautiful Matanzas Inlet, take a free water taxi ride to the Fort Matanzas on the intracoastal, or spend a day exploring Marineland and Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, one of Florida's hidden treasures of history and nature!

We have booked a different location every year for 15 years and this is by far the best yet! The view from the great room, dining, kitchen area is breathtaking! Just steps from the beach...a beach with almost no people claiming a spot. The house was spectacular..every detail considered. 3 refrigerator -freezers, game room, bar area, towels, and beach toys galore. It was just spectacular in every way! Thank you!

Turtle Dunes is a lovely beach front property that feels both luxurious and cozy at the same time. It is simply perfect in every way. Our family of 11 vacationed here recently, and the house was ideal. The attention to details in this home are extraordinary. They have literally thought of everything from a jewelry stand in a master suite to laundry baskets in all of the bedrooms to extra charging cords. The decor is simply lovely, and it felt like a privilege to be in this home. The beach front is private and beautiful and provided a relaxing respite for all of us from our fast paced lives.
