Beautiful Oceanfront Penthouse ~ Incredible Views ~ Pool

We’ve been visiting Summer Haven for 21 years. Our normal place wasn’t available so we decided to try the “Beachfront Penthouse” condo. It is an older model as pictured, but very clean, kitchen decently stocked, quiet , and comfortable. The porch provides shade while enjoying the beautiful views. The pool was clean and an added bonus since it’s not something we usually have on our visits. The only down side for us was the 200 pet fee and our beach access from the condo was temporary blocked. We are accustomed to paying a fee and understanding the need; however, it was less expensive for us to pay our sitter! As far as the direct beach access, it was blocked due to stairs needing repairs; however this did not affect us too much. We simply walked around the building. We stayed for 3nights,4days.We would consider staying here again.

Was a very nice and relaxing stay with the family. The place was very well stocked, clean and had everything we needed to have a great time.

Property was very clean and nice. Views were awesome and loved spending time on the beach.

Great place just would not advertise the hidden beds as sleeping space.

We loved this property! Being on the beach and having easy access was great. The beach was semi private and not crowded at all! It was a great trip. We were the only ones that got into the pool during our trip.

This place is amazing. I do wish we had know about how many steps there were. The view is beautiful and we will be back!

Everything about this was perfect. The view from the back deck was beautiful and provided quick access to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and the outside closet had a great variety of beach toys. We saw sea turtles, shrimp, crabs, fish, and dolphins. We will definitely stay again!

Our stay was very relaxing. The Veranda was our favorite. The beach was quiet and the kids loved it along with the pool. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels and the large walk-in shower was nice. Guest had left some nice beach items like chairs and beach toys, which was helpful. We loved having direct access to the beach, you cannot beat that. We did have some difficulty with the stairs especially upon arrival trying to carry our suitcases, groceries etc... but we knew that already based on previous reviews. The place is in need of a deep clean and updating. It was nice having a reserved carport and we were glad to stay in a gated area. Personally I would stick with no more than 4 guest as the steps to the sleeping nook safety is questionable.

Perfect beach vacation!Incredible view from the penthouse! Beautiful pristine semi-private beach. We had a wonderful time and it was so nice that we could bring our dog. The condo was nice and clean and stocked with everything you could need for a perfect beach vacation. We will definitely be back!

My family and I come most every year. You can’t ask for a better beach! Never crowded…quick drive to downtown area and restaurants…state park with beautiful gardens just up the road… condo is always in great shape, clean and comfortable…thank you!

Great walk up Ocean view condo. Perfect for family.

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.

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.

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.

Great views . Nice place.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean. It’s older but well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped. The views are wonderful! The beds were comfy with lots of pillows. The master bedroom shower was very spacious. You do have to climb a lot of stairs to get there, but the ocean view is worth it.

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.

It was so quiet and had stunning views of the ocean. We watched the tide come up to our steps and move out into the inlet each day.Beach just steps from our condo.
