Four Winds Condominiums
8130 A1A South, St. Augustine, FL 32080
About This Building
Four Winds is one of the larger oceanfront communities in Crescent Beach, with 152 condominiums across ten buildings at 8130 A1A South. The complex was built in 1975 and has been kept up well — landscaping, walkways, and pool areas have all been refreshed in recent years.
Three floor plans are available: tri-level (three stories), townhouse (two stories), and flats (single level). Units range from efficiencies to three-bedroom layouts, with 1 to 3.5 baths and 735 to 1,935 square feet. That mix is unusual for a Crescent Beach building and gives Four Winds owners a wide market — from couples looking for an efficiency to families needing a tri-level with multiple bedrooms.
The amenity set
Amenities include two heated pools (open year-round), tennis courts, pickleball, shuffleboard, a basketball hoop, and three separate beach access walkovers. Each unit has its own washer and dryer, and the complex is pet-friendly — a real differentiator in the Crescent Beach market, since many oceanfront buildings restrict pets.

Why Four Winds Condominiums Works as a Rental
Four Winds is one of the few Crescent Beach buildings where pet bookings are an option. Pet-friendly is a meaningful filter on Airbnb and VRBO, and a building that allows pets captures travelers other Crescent Beach buildings can't reach. Done well, pet bookings fill weeks that would otherwise sit empty; done poorly, they damage units.
The variety of floor plans means Four Winds doesn't compete in a single market segment — it can compete in several. An efficiency competes with studio condos at $130-180/night; a tri-level with three bedrooms competes with single-family beach homes at $300-450/night. Same building, different rental dynamics per unit.
The south end of Crescent Beach also puts owners close to Matanzas Inlet for sport fishing, kayaking, and quieter beach access. Historic downtown St. Augustine is about a 15-20 minute drive north.
