About this property

Aqua Vista - Cozy beach home w/ BBQ & large deck

The sound of waves rolling onto the shore sets the pace for your days at this spacious coastal retreat in Summer Haven. Just steps from a quiet stretch of beach, this home invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the rhythm of oceanfront living. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch swing as the sun rises over the Atlantic or gathering loved ones around the dining table for a holiday meal, every moment here feels designed for connection and comfort.

Outdoor living
The home’s location east of A1A means the sand and surf are only a short stroll away. Guests can spend hours beachcombing, swimming, or simply enjoying the soothing sounds of the ocean. From the upper-level deck, the horizon stretches wide - a perfect spot to watch the sun paint the sky in shades of pink and gold. The porch swing offers another inviting perch, ideal for afternoon reading or evening drinks. For dining under the stars, fire up the BBQ grill and enjoy the outdoor seating area, complete with fresh sea breezes and the soft crash of waves nearby.

Inside the home
The open interior balances coastal charm with everyday practicality. A full kitchen with modern appliances and plenty of counter space makes it easy to prepare meals for groups of all sizes. The dining area comfortably seats everyone, making it the heart of the home for shared feasts and long conversations. The living room is warm and inviting, featuring a flat screen TV and plush seating for laid-back movie nights or catching up after a day in the sun. With central air conditioning, ceiling fans, and high-speed WiFi, every detail has been considered for comfort and convenience.

Sleeping arrangements
Four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms provide ample space for up to ten guests. The layout works well for families traveling together or groups of friends who value both shared and private spaces. With 3.5 bathrooms, mornings flow smoothly, even with a full house. Fresh linens, extra blankets, and all the essentials ensure restful nights after long days of exploring.

Amenities for easy living
Aqua Vista is stocked with everything you need for a seamless stay. Washer and dryer access makes long stays or sandy beach days stress-free. Essentials such as towels, soap, and toiletries are provided, along with beach essentials to make your coastal adventures even more enjoyable. The home also offers free driveway parking for two vehicles and secure self check-in with a keypad for flexible arrivals.

Perfect for exploring
While the property feels private and secluded, it’s also ideally situated for exploring the region. Just 20 minutes north is the historic charm of downtown St. Augustine, with its cobblestone streets, Spanish architecture, and vibrant dining scene. Closer to home, Marineland, Fort Matanzas National Monument, and Matanzas Inlet provide opportunities for history, adventure, and fishing. The balance of tranquility and accessibility makes this home a rare find along Florida’s Historic Coast.

Ideal location for a beach and Saint Augustine family vacation.

Three generations enjoyed this retreat that enjoys easy beach access, very close proximity to Marineland and Fort Matanzas, and a fairly short drive to St. Augustine. Home is very family friendly. We had an amazing week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Aqua Vista. It is a great location for walks to the inlet, and you can hear the ocean from the screened-in balcony. Easy drive to our favorite Crescent Beach, either drive-on or park at the various lots along A1A. The house can use a refresher of kitchen supplies, some interior painting, grill cleaning supplies, updated front porch furniture, and beach chairs. A desk for remote work would be nice too. The house was super clean, and the beds were comfy. Plenty of space for a big family.We would stay here again.

A little disappointed.

No propane when we checked in so we had no hot water or stove for two days. Listing didn’t say there was a grill so we planned on using the stove. The upstairs air conditioning was faulting out. It was 86 when we checked in. Air conditioner wasn’t fixed for a week. My husband and sons worked to get the hot water heater and air conditioner to work. Oven wasn’t fixed before we left. The broiler only worked so my husband was able to switch it out so we could use the oven when we needed it. You had to run the dryer two or three times to dry a load of wash. The house needs to be updated and painted. The yard needs to be cleaned up and there were mouse droppings in the garage. Kitchen needs more bowls and utensils. The house needs some care given to it.

A few issues but overall a good stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property had some cleaning issues and while the realtor offered to send the cleaners again we had already gone to target that nite to get a mop, cleaning supplies, and a new coffee pot. (Which we did not leave there). At the end of our stay the realtor provided half our cleaning fee back. The location of the property is pretty good, not a lot of traffic down the small street but it is about 100 yds from A1A and when the motorcycle were around it was loud. It's also 100 yards from the water though. There is not a beach, but a very rocky overlook. (We did not need a beach but loved the view). The house is beautifully furnished, nice decor, but it needs some TLC. For the price, I expected more.
