Let's book your perfect stretch of sand in St. Augustine!

Just steps from Crescent Beach, Half Shell Haven® is your private coastal retreat. Our oasis is perfect for soaking up the Florida sun.

Whether you're sipping drinks at the Tiki bar, lounging on the beach, or taking a 15-minute drive to St. Augustine, this is the ultimate getaway for families, friends and pups. Fenced, dog-friendly and ready for your summer 2026 escape.
