About this property
Intracoastal Waterfront House on Private island surrounded by National Parks
Longvue is an Old Florida house set on private Medicis island in the Intracoastal Waterway surrounded by the Guana/Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (73,000 acres) and Stokes Landing Conservation Preserve (300 acres). Private floating dock with tidal access to the IWC. Very private island with 6 residences. The 10 acre island is surrounded by rivers, marsh flats and fresh water ponds. Boat/Kayak to the National Reserve and walk the trails to S. Ponte Vedra Beach.
Longvue sits on over 1 acre with 330' of marsh frontage and open lawn on three sides. Open and bright 2,600 sf floor plan with vaulted ceilings and french doors leading to wrap-around brick Terraces. The property has a beautiful canopy of coastal live oaks, palms and magnolias and plenty of open yard on all sides. Manatee and Porpoise feed in the marsh creeks along with an amazing variety of birds and waterfowl. Beds are Queen, Twins and King at Master with most beds having trundles underneath (see photos for floor plan and bed Spec). Wood burning fire place in the River Room. New 60" flatscreen with commercial speed wifi. The Family Room has separate 1/2 bath and can be used as a 5th bedroom. The property is a great place for your dog (extra pet cleaning fee applies). We have just installed a new variable speed HVAC system with dehumidification as well as new well and septic pumps to eliminate issues during your stay. Also a new septic system/pumps/drain fields as well as new water well pumps and irrigation pumps. We have also installed (2025) a 4k whole house water purification system to address well water quality and scent. There is a new refrigerator and dishwasher (8/2020) as well as a new set of washer & dryer (7/2020). This is a family weekend River House so the furniture is not perfect but elegant, timeless and comfortable. There are no screens on the windows.
There is a new Publix approximately 1 mile north of Stokes Landing Rd. on US1 at Palencia.
The yard to Longvue is mostly to the east and south and has 330’ of marsh frontage so there is plenty of yard and space as the neighbors to the south are set far back and around the cul-du-sac. $150 additional cleaning fee will be requested after booking for guests with pets.
Amazing saltwater fishing on fly or light tackle with world class flood tide flat fishing in September thru December as well as duck hunting in season at the Guana Preserve. Extra Large Green Egg grill/smoker next to pre-civil war era sugar kettle / brick fire pit. Private Horse Farm 1/4 mile just off-island for horse back riding on the island. This is a natural Florida aquifer & well with a high treatment/filtration system to eliminate/reduce sulphur mineral aroma for those not used to Florida water. We have a regular well system cleaning service.
No weddings, gatherings or events are allowed as per home owners association policy - please review the rules and penalties.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Joseph S. Cronk

We are a family of 6 who have lived on Medicis Island since 2003 when we were the only residents. We have one in college, one at home and live between St Augustine and Avondale, Florida
Why they chose this property
Fishing, relaxing, a day on the boat to St. Augustine and the beaches. We have enjoyed Longvue cottage for over 20 years and it will always be a part of our extended family. Longvue cottage was built by the daughter and Dr. husband of the original owners of Diego island who purchased the property in 1945 after participating in the engineering and construction of the original IWC. He built the original cottage on the north side of the island which remains a family retreat.
What makes this property unique
330' of marsh river frontage on over 1 acre. Open yard space on both sides offers privacy with a live oak canopy for shade. The island is surrounded by national & state parks and the views are east to Guana State Park and South to Stokes State Park so only two houses in sight in 360 degrees. Ocean breezes over the water keep the evening cool and help with bugs in the summer.
