A beachfront retreat in historic St. Augustine

Ocean House Condominiums, completed in 1974, stands as a four-story residential complex in the serene Butler and Crescent Beaches area of St. Augustine, Florida. This boutique community comprises 63 units, offering residents a blend of coastal living and modern comfort. Situated on a prime oceanfront location, Ocean House provides easy access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a tranquil beach lifestyle.

Spacious units with panoramic water views

Ocean House offers a variety of floor plans to suit different needs, ranging from one to three-bedroom layouts. All units are generously sized, starting at 1,200 square feet for one and two-bedroom configurations, while three-bedroom units can extend up to 1,572 square feet. Each residence features two bathrooms, ensuring comfort and convenience for residents and guests alike. The one-bedroom units, despite their spacious 1,200 square feet layout, provide an open and airy feel, perfect for individuals or couples. Two-bedroom units, also 1,200 square feet, are currently priced between $325,000 and $666,634, offering excellent value for the space and location. Many units boast recent renovations, including updated kitchens with soft-close cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. Bathrooms have also seen modern upgrades in several units. A standout feature in many condos is the expansive 40-foot patio or balcony, accessible from both bedrooms and the living area, providing stunning views of the ocean, pool, and in some cases, the Intracoastal Waterway. Interior finishes vary across units but often include features like tile flooring throughout, tongue and groove ceilings, and impact-resistant sliding doors. Some units offer rustic wood plank flooring and custom built-in shelving, adding character and charm to the living spaces. Corner units are particularly sought after, offering wrap-around balconies and panoramic views. Third-floor units provide some of the best vistas in the building, with unobstructed views of both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Monthly HOA fees range from $900 to $1,000, covering a comprehensive list of amenities and services including cable TV, internet, pool maintenance, structural maintenance, ground maintenance, pest control, security, sewer, and trash removal.

Beachfront living with resort-inspired amenities

Ocean House Condominiums offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the beachfront living experience. The centerpiece is the oceanfront pool, providing a refreshing alternative to the nearby Atlantic waters. Residents can enjoy direct beach access via a private ramp and walkway, complete with a convenient shower for rinsing off after a day in the sand. For those seeking leisurely activities without leaving the property, Ocean House features a miniature golf course and putting green, perfect for casual play or improving one's short game. The complex also includes a grilling area, ideal for outdoor cooking and socializing with neighbors. One of the unique features of Ocean House is its dual water views. While the eastern side of the building faces the Atlantic, the western side offers picturesque views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Two dedicated entertainment areas overlooking the Intracoastal provide the perfect spot for residents to gather and enjoy spectacular sunsets. The building is equipped with elevators for easy access to all floors, and each floor features an on-site laundry room for added convenience. Security is a priority at Ocean House, with secured entrances ensuring residents' peace of mind. Pet owners will appreciate the pet-friendly policy, with no size restrictions for dogs (applicable to owners only). Additional amenities include 24-hour access, individual climate control in each unit, and shared picnic areas for outdoor enjoyment. Inside the units, residents can expect modern conveniences such as dishwashers, microwaves, and full kitchens, often featuring stainless steel appliances. Many units also come with private patios or balconies, extending the living space outdoors and maximizing the coastal views.

Tranquil coastal living in historic St. Augustine

Ocean House Condominiums is located in the peaceful Butler and Crescent Beaches area, part of the historic St. Augustine community. This neighborhood is known for its serene atmosphere, setting it apart from the more tourist-heavy areas of St. Augustine. The area is characterized by its beautiful beaches, with soft white sand dunes and the gentle sound of waves creating a relaxing backdrop for daily life. The neighborhood offers a mix of housing styles, from colorful bungalows to custom-built homes with wooden balconies, all designed to take advantage of the coastal breezes. Despite its tranquil nature, the area provides easy access to essential amenities and attractions. For families with children, the St. Johns County school system serves the area and is considered one of the top-performing districts in Florida. W. Douglas Hartley Elementary School, located about 15 minutes away, is highly rated and offers education from PreKindergarten through elementary levels. For middle school students, Gamble Rogers Middle School, also about 15 minutes away, is considered one of the top middle schools in the area. High school students attend Pedro Menendez High School, which offers various academies and programs of interest, including architectural and building sciences, healthcare, and business tracks. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of parks and waterfront spaces in the vicinity. Frank Butler Park, a short distance away, offers pavilions and beach access, perfect for a day of surfside relaxation. The Matanzas Inlet, known for its stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway, is a favorite spot among locals for wildlife watching, including occasional sightings of manatees and dolphins. For daily necessities, residents can find Winn Dixie and Publix supermarkets a short drive north on State Road A1A. The area also boasts a variety of dining options, with local favorites like the World Famous Oasis Bar and Grill offering a casual atmosphere and a diverse menu ranging from breakfast classics to seafood specialties.

Car-centric area with easy access to major roads

Transportation in the Butler and Crescent Beaches area primarily revolves around personal vehicles, reflecting the car-dependent nature of this coastal community. The main thoroughfare, State Road A1A, provides easy north-south access along the coast, connecting residents to nearby amenities and the broader St. Augustine area. While public transportation options are limited, there is a bus stop located at the intersection of A1A and 206, about a 5-minute drive or 2.5 miles from Ocean House Condominiums. This stop is serviced by the Green Line, offering some connectivity to other parts of the region. For those who enjoy cycling, the area is somewhat bikeable, with flat terrain that can be favorable for leisurely rides, especially along the scenic coastal routes. However, dedicated bike lanes may be limited, so cyclists should exercise caution. The car-centric nature of the area means that most residents rely on personal vehicles for daily commutes and errands. Ocean House Condominiums provides parking for residents, facilitating this primary mode of transportation. For longer trips, St. Augustine's central areas and major highways are within a reasonable driving distance. This allows for relatively easy access to broader transportation networks when needed, such as for trips to Jacksonville or other parts of Florida.
