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 livingspace. 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.

    We all had a great time, check in was easy and painless. We were just down the road from Marineland which the kids got to interact with the dolphins! The house was well equipped with everything needed. We will be back for a future stay.

    Instructions to find and access the property were very clear. Amenities were as described. Property is very close to the beach, and we heard no noise from the neighbors. Very peaceful. Short drive to St. Augustine. Bed was very comfortable, and excellent bath towels. We didn't use the screened-in porch area, but it looks perfect for warmer weather enjoyment.We had a very nice stay and would like to return during beach season!Patrick & Tanya

    The cottage is in a quiet area away from A1A, so no road noise. Opening the front door reveals a delightful living room, flowing into the dining/kitchen area. The kitchen is stocked with every you need to cook. Appliances are well done. The back deck/porch area is the best place to spend early morning with coffee and make plans for the activity of the day. Linda has a great eye for decorating the cottage. She also informed of a minor internet interruption and notified us when it ended. She is a great host. Thank you for a great week.

    Overall the property was very cute and clean. But, there was some disappointments. The electricity in the house often dimmed and flickered. The neighborhood is pretty run-down. We were led to believe that we had beach access nearby. There was no safe access to the beach and much of the beach was not safe due to hurricane damage and debris.

    We loved the cottage, and the town. We look forward to coming back when the weather is cooler!

    This is a beautifully restored beach cottage in perfect condition. The screened in back porch area was wonderful. We spent all our evenings out there. The Host, Linda, was wonderful; immediate responses to all questions. Attention to detail was impressive. So many little extras were provided that I would not have thought of. We'll be back.
