About this property

Beautiful Oceanfront Penthouse ~ Incredible Views ~ Pool

Get away from it all at this penthouse oceanfront paradise. The 180-degree views are spectacular from the common areas with a full wall of glass doors! Grab your morning coffee and sit on the expansive deck to watch the colorful sun rise over the horizon. Take a walk down the stairs and your toes are in the white sandy beach. And the beach— with the limited public access — is perfect for shell hunting, fishing, swimming, surfing, or just sitting! Spend the day watching the tide going out of the Inlet creating tide pools to wade in and then watch the tide rise as the waves splash against “The Rocks” - limestone and coquina formations. The beach seems to change every day. Finish your day with dinner — either cooked in your well- equipped kitchen or from one of the great local restaurants — taking in the pink and blue hues as the sun sets on a perfect Summer Haven day.

The third floor walk-up has an open concept living space with volume ceilings is great to gather for dinner after a day on the beach or to watch the big game.

When it is time to rest, the condominium has two large bedrooms -- one bedroom with a king bed and the second with two full size beds. For added flexibility, there is also a large sleeping nook accessed from the living/tv room (see images). The nook has a twin and full bed with a small sitting area.

Summer Haven Beach is located just south of Saint Augustine historic district by about 10 minutes. There are plenty of attractions near the rental – Fort Matanzas, Marineland, Fishing, State Parks, to name a few. If there is more, you are seeking, it is more you shall find. Head into Saint Augustine for some history and shopping. Continue north a bit for Jacksonville, and maybe take in a Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team. Possibly a round of golf in Sawgrass Ponte Vedra, or 18 holes at the World Golf Village?

Head south from the vacation rental to hit Flagler Beach, Daytona Beach, and eventually, Cape Canaveral. All within a short drive. Orlando theme parks like Disney and Universal Studios are just a day trip away. Relax at the beach, hit the theme parks, and come back for more relaxation at Crescent Beach.

Perfect location. Breathtaking views

Stayed here a couple weeks ago. We are a family of 5, traveling with our French Bulldog. Everything was great and clean. My 13yo son enjoyed the "3rd" bedroom and loved that he had ocean views from his bed. This location is perfect for St Augustine an. d Flagler Beach.

The View

This is a perfect beach vacation. Sitting on the top floor deck, you can see the sweeping views up and down the beach. Not only do you get access to a private beach, the oceanfront changes daily to give you new areas to explore. It is in close proximity to excellent restaurants and other sightseeing events like the lighthouse, alligator zoo, and fun mini golf. The condo is stocked with all the essentials with a family of six.

Oceanview Deck

The location can't be beat. The oceanview deck is absolutely fantastic, and worthy of ten stars. The giant chocolate lab in unit 6 below us barked for 2 1/2 days straight and that was a significant distraction. Otherwise, the good far outweighed the bad.

Great location

The property is older and needs a bit of updating, but the location makes up for that issue. The website shows extra beds which were actually in a closet complete with duct work. Two adults slept there which was very challenging. Overall, it’s acceptable for the purposes we had.

Best beach in Florida - but a couple of concerns

Matanzas is the most unique beach in this part of Florida and a wonderfully secluded location for a getaway. We love the location, the view, the direct access to the beach, the quiet of neighborhood and the layout of the condo. But please beware of a couple of major drawbacks. First, the third sleeping area is completely ridiculous. It is a mechanical closet with two beds crammed in- no ventilation or fan, and not tall enough for an adult to stand up in. No closet or stand for a suitcase, no electrical outlet. And no actual stairs to get into the space which makes it incredibly dangerous. It was not at all described accurately online. This is appropriate only for kids but even then totally not to code. In addition the third floor is not accessible at all for anyone with mobility issues. Both interior and exterior stairs are steep and numerous - not pictured in the listing or described - it was difficult to manage for two of our guests. Finally, bring supplies - there was very little paper products, soap or detergents for 5 people staying 5 days.

What a great setting on a rather secluded beach!

The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. The beach was fantastic and wonderful for walks with our dog. There are some great restaurants within about 5 or 6 miles in either direction. We'll be back!

Plenty of cooking supplies and dishes and even some spices cause we always forget....Very quiet if your not looking for crowds this is the place to go.

Awesome Location!

This was one of our favorite beach vacation destinations. We have stayed in lots of places from Virginia down to Florida. The location was perfect, it was wonderful to be able to just walk down the steps from the deck and straight onto the beach. The beach stretch is extremely private since there is a natural water barrier at both ends. We brought our 16 year old dog for what might be her last beach trip, and because the beach was so private, we were able to leave he off leash many times. The condo was perfect for our needs - lots of good storage space and my kids loved the nook.

A slice of heaven!

Absolutely hand downs the perfect place! Loved, loved, loved the low key location and private beach! It was a smaller condominium place, maybe 9 units and the people staying there were wonderful & kind. If your looking for a relaxing place with direct access to the beach at your doorstep, choose this place! St. Augustine is a short drive should you want to explore that area. There was pool access as well and covered parking for the unit we stayed in. It was fully equipped with all the essentials needed for cooking and also beach equipment for use. I am definitely going to be back!!

2023 Beach vacation

Great property. My husband and i stayed with our 19 and 21 year old sons and our two dachshunds. The beach is fantastic and dog friendly. It was not crowded. The covered porch is awesome and i stayed out there most of the time. My sons enjoyed surfing and being in the water. The covered parking was large enough to fit our yukon xl suv. We did not use the pool. The condo was stocked with everything you need for cooking. There were alot of stairs but we knew that from reading other reviews. I would stay there again.

Perfect!

We came here for our last hurrah before our babies are born! And we were so fortunate to have found this place! The unit had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the sunset every evening on the patio. The stairs were a lot for a pregnant lady, but I didn’t even feel the need to go down to the beach because the view was so spectacular on the patio. I’m so impressed with how clean everything was, especially for a rental that allows pets. Also thanks for the extra sanitizing for Coronavirus! Keep it up! We’ll be back soon!
