The luxuriously large king bed is nestled within a built out nook giving you the feeling of floating out over the ocean where you can fall asleep to the sounds of waves spilling over onto the sand.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have private access to the entire top penthouse level of the house and private outdoor areas as well as free Wi-Fi, free parking, complimentary coffee and access to a laundry with a washing machine and dryer.
During your stay there may be guests that stay below the house on the two lower floors, however you will always feel like you are the only ones there.
INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
We strive to make sure your time at the house is relaxing and enjoyable and are always available during your stay if there are any questions or for any recommendations on what to do and see in the area.
NEIGHBORHOOD
The house is located along a rare stretch of beach on one of the last untouched inlets on the east coast just south of Crescent Beach and is the home of Fort Matanzas, the Matanzas National Seashore - a beautiful National Park.
It sits directly on Atlantic Ocean, but you can also see the Matanzas River, and the Intracoastal waterway. Since the house sits on this largely untouched area, the wildlife is amazing. Depending on the time of year Sea Turtles, Dolphins, and Manatees can be seen within the 25 miles of undeveloped state owned natural habitat.
The pristine water is one of the most unpolluted water areas in the state of Florida which brings fisherman and birders from all over to the beautiful sanctuary areas making it a truly unique place to stay.

If you like to cycle you are only a few miles from some of the best mountain biking trails and miles and miles of mostly shaded paved trails to explore.
Just under 14 miles away is the charming city of St. Augustine that offers unique scenery and history that sets the city apart from any other in the country.
This old city has a quaint feel with a big appeal where guests can stroll along the brick-lined streets and delight in the city's European flavor, with centuries-old buildings, horse-drawn carriages, hidden courtyards, and so much more. Saint Augustine has plenty of history to explore -- more than 450 years of it!
St. Augustine is known for its excellent restaurants serving a variety of dishes reflecting the town's multicultural heritage. Add to that the city's world-class art galleries, boutiques and outlet shopping, theater and live music, and 42 miles of gorgeous beaches, and it's easy to see why it is such a popular place to make long lasting memories.
GETTING AROUND
The best way to get around is with your own car or in a rental with free parking included with your stay.

Guests can also use rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft or call a taxi with cars available at all times of the day.

    It was the perfect getaway. It was beautifully decorated. It had the most cutest kitchen, Crystal knobs, it reminded me of a small, comfortable cabin, surrounded by the beach. I loved the fact that we were able to bring our fur babies with us. We all enjoyed the beautiful beach,sun, and sea life that surrounded us.

    If you love the ocean, this is the place for you. When the tide rushes out, the beach expands 20 fold. You can enjoy sandbar walks or lounge in the tide pools. The house is comfortable, charming, whimsical and in a perfect location. This was our fourth stay at this wonderful rental.

    My and my Wife stayed here for our honeymoon for a week. It was perfect in every way possible. If you want a little piece of paradise without having to fly out of country, this is the place. We will be coming back.

    Beautiful spot with right where Matanzas Inlet meets Atlantic. Fantastic view of both from the penthouse, and the interior is eclectic and comfortable. We decided to leave three days early with hurricane Nicole bearing down on area…which was a disappointment. However, we would not hesitate again to renting this wonderful beach house.

    Our stay was everything we were hoping for and more. We live locally but wanted to be on the beach for our anniversary week (stay vacation). Beautiful views, clean, pet friendly, comfortable and relaxing. Hope to stay again next year.

    Great spot for a private beach vacation. You could not get any closer to a private beach than this spot. Really appreciated being able to bring our dogs. We will be back!
