Oceanfront Family Beach Rental Pet Friendly BBQ Grill

High tide hits our new seawall. Relax on the deck & you're still 'on the beach'

On the bridge, almost. We're MiCasa, on an island connected by 2 bridges.

Dogs love the beach (yes, they're supposed to be on a leash).

View from the loft. Kids love the twin beds & their 'pirate' windows

This is our second time staying at this property. We love being so close to the ocean. There were sea turtles swimming in front of the condo all week. Barry & Pat were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect location

If you are a beach lover this is the place for you! I had a broken foot so not having to walk far was key! The patio is on the beach so you can stay there or walk 10 steps to be in the sand! Unbelievable variety and abundance of birds if you enjoy that also. Host was very approachable and responsive.

Perfect beach vacation

MiCasa has everything you could want in a beach vacation. All the comforts of home but the ocean is your front yard. We have stayed in a few homes along the ocean and this by far is the best beach for kayaking, privacy, and the inlet provides a better overall swimming experience.

The beach at your doorstep!

We loved our stay. A quiet beach is just outside your door. We brought our dog - the large patio is gated with a green space for pets. The owners were friendly and communication was easy. Seeing sea turtles everyday was an added bonus!

Saint Augustine vacation 2023

This property was exactly what we needed, a large dog friendly patio… You cannot get any closer to the water & beautiful soft sandy beach. Our only drawback was no privacy for the bedrooms and lots and lots of steps everywhere… but YES I would go again! 😎😃👍 Terri & Bob

A great place to bring the family and dog too!

The beach is just a few steps from your door, we were able to sleep with the bedroom doors open while listening to the waves of the ocean. A great place for the family to spend a week.Bring the dog, its a great beach for them to run, especially at low tide. Barry is VERY accommodating. We had a great time. Thanks Barry!

Family Adventure

My family had an amazing stay! Low tide gave the kids a huge tide pool to play. Got to see large turtle tracks on the beach. Saw multiple juvenile Green turtles swimming around us at low tide and we were even able to walk way out to multiple sand bars almost all the way across to the beach side. We had a great time and plan on booking again soon!

First Berry was very easy to deal with during the booking process and quick to respond to any questions. The rental was in a amazing location ocean and river that made for great fishing. The beach was uncrowded, full of interesting ocean life, and pet friendly. Best beach rental we have rented in a long time. Thank you Berry!

About the host

Hosted by Owner, Barry Fouts

We're both retired business owners who breed parrots as a hobby. On our 55 acre farm covered with 100+ year old grandfather oaks we have dogs & cats on rat & predator patrol duty, cows, horses, guineas, peacocks, chickens and many breeding pairs of macaws, cockatoos and african greys. We're both Florida natives; me from Lakeland, Pat from Jacksonville

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet & solitude. When we moved to NE Florida in 1998 we visited St Augustine public beach and were not impressed by the crowds. 2011 was the first time we returned, and discovered Mi Casa. Our place on Summer Haven Island is the closest thing to a private beach you'll find for under $10 million. As soon as we stood on the deck, which really is on the beach, we told the realtor 'we'll take it!' Some of the yearly renters have come back 10 years in a row, and everyone has written wonderful reviews of the location and the upgrades we've made. We're always amazed at the condos that can't offer what Mi Casa has. They're a challenge just to walk the distance out their crowded walkway over sand dunes to the waters edge. Mi Casa has us spoiled. Walking down our 5' wide steps onto the beach is an unfair comparison. The rod holders on the deck railing are your first clue that nobody else is this close to the water! Some say it's like being on a boat!

What makes this property unique

Waking to the roar of the ocean is a wonderful experience. Coffee on the deck, then 2nd cup on the beach letting the dogs run free (oops, the leash slipped out of my hand). Birds huddled on the sandbar in front. Discover turtle nests in season, and shells and critters caught in the tidal pools or rent a bike and enjoy the miles of paved bike paths north and south. Spot a sea turtle or manatee or dolphins swimming past. Whales pass in front but I haven't spotted one myself. Watch the kite boarders sail 20' into the air. Watch the Ospreys shake in flight like a dog after diving for fish. Last year a Bald Eagle pair regularly fished out front off the rocks. Gaze at the shrimp boats with binoculars (provided) then drive up the road & buy tonights shrimp dinner you watched being caught. View the stars in the near total darkness. Or watch a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. Cross over the bridge & explore Fort Matanzas and its nature trail for free.
