Stayed over Thanksgiving, great views of the ocean. Staff was very pleasant and helpful at check-in. Housekeeping staff was also friendly and kept the room clean. Couple of very minor issues with the room, not worth any more mention. Looking forward to go again.

The location of the lodge is fantastic, on the beach with a beautiful view and close to many fine restaurants. It was a pleasure staying in the condo, well equipped, cozy and comfortable. The employees could not do enough to make our stay comfortable. Yes, we will be going back.

This was my second visit to the Beacher's Lodge property in the past four years. I must say that my first visit was much more enjoyable. Unfortunately, this time the property was in the process of having a new roof put on and the reservationist mistakenly thought it would be a good idea to put us in a room on the top floor. We were assured that the roofers would not begin working until after 8:00 AM, which turned out not to be the case. The workers began scraping off the old roofing material very early and the noise was so loud that you couldn't even enjoy the pool or ocean directly behind the property. Upon checkout, Christina, the front desk clerk, was completely unfazed by our concerns and stated that only a 10% discount could be offered for compensation. The room that we were given was in NO WAY worth the amout of money we had to pay, especially given that we were driven out so early in the morning due to the excessive noise. In addition, there was nothing visually appealing about this room which had outdated and worn furniture, as well as a dehumidifier that was necessary to keep the excessive moisture to a minimum. Being a native Floridian and having stayed at numerous properties on the ocean, I could have dealt with the furnishings given the gorgeous view of the ocean, but the poor customer service is what set me over the edge. I will not be visiting this property again.

My wife and I stayed here for six nights during our recent honeymoon. The rooms come fully furnished with TV's, sofas, kitchenette (with all of the pots, pans, cooking sheets, utensils, dishes, etc. that you could possibly need.) While it's not quite apartment sized, it made for a lovely home away from home. The hotel grounds are kept clean and the pool area is power-washed and cleaned daily. Even though roofing work was being done we were on the first of 4 floors and never heard a thing! There is also private access to the beach.
Also, the cleaning lady (who also restocks items) has even taken to giving us multiple packets of name-brand coffee each morning to use in the 4-cup pot provided by the resort. The area is on the northern end of Crescent Beach, and is only about 15-20 minutes from downtown St. Augustine. Daytona Beach, Orlando and Cape Canaveral are all within a day-trip range (at or less than 2 hours.)
Amenities, Location, Service and Cleanliness. The only "con" would be the overuse of mirrors in the bedroom area and livingroom area. Some may consider those a benefit, but to us it was a little much.
