The Cracker House is not your typical Florida beach house, a friend of ours from North Carolina, has said that it's a 'Mountain Home at the Beach". While the Cracker House is certainly not upscale, we think you will find it clean, comfortable, charming and in a very quite neighborhood, with friendly neighbors.

Cozy cottage

The house was perfect for our stay. On a quiet street and a short walk to beach access and restaurants. Very comfortable for us (2) and nicely equipped. Not your typical beach bungalow but very nice, cozy and clean. Would highly recommend and would return!

Great place

We really enjoys the screened in porch on the back of the house. The house was very clean and neat had everything we needed for a six day stay. The location was very convenient with the beach within walking distance, downtown St. Augustine just a very short drive away, and plenty of restaurants nearby.
