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 (the water is oxygenated so is a bit cloudy at first but filtered/purified). There is a new refrigerator and dishwasher (8/2020) as well as two sets of washer & dryer (7/2023). The Stone floors were professionally cleaned and restored 12/25. 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. Pre-civil war era sugar kettle / brick fire pit. Unfortunately grills do not last in this environment so bring a portable grill if needed. 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.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this home in Saint Augustine. The outdoor area is definitely a highlight — very well done, relaxing, and a great space to spend time, whether in the morning or in the evening. It truly adds so much to the experience.The house is comfortable, clean, and well equipped, making our stay easy and enjoyable.The owner was very kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. He was always willing to help and made sure everything went smoothly, which we really appreciated.We would absolutely recommend this property and would be happy to stay here again.

    What an amazing property. Pictures don’t do it justice. Beautiful views. Minutes from grocery and restaurants. Short drive to St Augustine. Great fishing off the dock. Would absolutely stay here again.

    My wife, son, and I rented this property while visiting family in the area. The house is beautiful, well decorated, and comfortable. The views from inside and outside of the house are amazing. My brother stopped by and caught a redfish from the dock. We will definitely plan to stay again before long.

    It’s not often that the results and better than you anticipated. That’s the case with Longvue. It was like home away from home. Very quiet location beautiful view of the marsh, and the house was so nice for the four of us. A great three weeks.

    The cover photo of the property is clearly an older one Since it was taken there is a new build within a a few feet of the north side of the house. A massive marble deck was installed when we rented and the loud, jarring noise of tile . cutting saws started at 8:30 am until 6:pm Next the chain saws for another 3 days of tree removal then the owner would get the leaf blower out just as we started to grill outdoors. It was disturbing and truly ruined the tranquil beauty of the conservation area. Inside the home was clean, nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. A shower head had to be replaced in the master bath. Outside the big green egg grill was broken had to be repaired. Trash had to be cleaned up from what had clearly been a big bon fire party with previous tenants. a

    We used this VRBO as a place of refuge after busy days touring nearby St. Augustine. We watched the tides come and go in the salt marsh and saw a variety of wildlife. The sunrise was amazing. Heavy rains kept us inside much of the time, but we lit up the back yard every night. This is a great property if you want to feel at home.

    This was our first time as a family renting a house on the intercoastal area around Ponte Vedra. We have always stayed in a Beach House directly on the beach. We wanted to try something different this year and it was wonderful. The house was in a beautiful location. View from the main living area was outstanding every day. 20 to 30 minute drive to the beach, where the private public beaches with no houses was wonderful. At the house, first time my 3 kids ever fished at the beach and it was a great added activity that created a lot of memories. The fishing was right off the back dock and was very good the four days we did it. Kids usually wanted to leave beach early to get back to fish as the high tide was getting close. Same distance to all of our favorite restaurants in the area as in previous years. Overall, great location, very peaceful and great family time.

    Love this property! Second stay. Quiet, quiet, quiet…and much needed. The marsh view and wildlife is a perfect combo with morning coffee. Can’t wait until the next visit. Thanks!
