About this property

Mellon Haven - Island Cottage

This 1924 Beach Cottage was part of the original Mellon Estate located on the Summer Haven Island. Literally steps from the Atlantic Ocean (one of the best surfing spots in St Augustine), it is the perfect hideaway to escape to the Island! Equipped with WIFI, they will never know you are working remotely! This is a great quiet area to spend some time with your family a bit removed from the popular activities nearby. The home is updated, and features a screened porch that doubles the living space. The hardest part is going home.

Beach Access Update after the storm: The beach is accessible! The south end is best accessed during low tide. The north end, near the inlet has not changed, best access is a little further up from the old walkway. The national park on the other side of the inlet is open and has a great boardwalk. There are multiple beaches 3-5 min drive for additional access at low/high tide in both directions. We are happy to send photos if needed.
