Amazing setting in the breakers

The highlight of renting this unit is that the concrete deck protrudes into the waves at high tide. Also, it is adjacent to the inlet where the Matanza river flows into the Atlantic ocean with a striking title plain that runs maybe 200 yards out into the ocean at low tide. if you love the ocean breaking around you, watching Osprey dive into the water in front of you and catch fish, explore the title pools at low tide for all kinds of interesting life - This is your place. The rental itself is very comfortable and rustic. We enjoyed every moment of it. The kitchen and some furniture have been recently refurbished, and it met all our needs. The beds are very comfortable. The place was very clean. We would love to visit here again next year.

Spring break 2024

Everyone loved the location so much that the kids said they would rather stay at beach instead of going to universal Studios on the 31st. We told them we needed to support MCHS band , so we went on Sat.. However, Sat. night my daughter skipped a day at Universal to be with us at your condo. My husband even got to fish more, since we were so close to inlet. Everything was great, and host was very responsive when we asked questions. We will definely be back.

Gorgeous location!

We absolutely loved the area! The beach was clean and expansive, not crowded at all. My kids loved the sandbars which were accessible during low tide, there were a lot of fish, crabs, turtles.and birds around. My kids even caught a few fish! We also had two small dogs that were able to play safely on the fenced in yard and deck. Barry was very responsive to messages, and made sure to answer all our questions. The property was very well-stocked, and conveniently located near parks and restaurants. Overall, we had a wonderful time and wouldnt hesitate to book again.

About the host

Hosted by Owner, Barry Fouts

We're both retired business owners who breed parrots as a hobby. On our 55 acre farm covered with 100+ year old grandfather oaks we have dogs & cats on rat & predator patrol duty, cows, horses, guineas, peacocks, chickens and many breeding pairs of macaws, cockatoos and african greys. We're both Florida natives; me from Lakeland, Pat from Jacksonville

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet & solitude. When we moved to NE Florida in 1998 we visited St Augustine public beach and were not impressed by the crowds. 2011 was the first time we returned, and discovered Mi Casa. Our place on Summer Haven Island is the closest thing to a private beach you'll find for under $10 million. As soon as we stood on the deck, which really is on the beach, we told the realtor 'we'll take it!' Some of the yearly renters have come back 10 years in a row, and everyone has written wonderful reviews of the location and the updates & upgrades we've made. Sept '12 we shopped for another investment oceanfront condo and were amazed at the $4-500k condos that couldn't offer what Mi Casa has. It was a challenge just to walk the distance out their crowded walkway over sand dunes to the waters edge. Mi Casa has us spoiled. Walking down our 5' wide steps is an unfair comparison. The rod holders on the deck railing are your first clue that nobody else is this close to the water! Some say it's like being on a boat!

What makes this property unique

Waking to the roar of the ocean is a wonderful experience. Coffee on the deck, then 2nd cup on the beach letting the dogs run free (oops, the leash slipped out of my hand). Birds huddled on the sandbar in front. Discover turtle nests in season, and shells and critters caught in the tidal pools or rent a bike and enjoy the miles of paved bike paths north and south. Spot a sea turtle or manatee or dolphins swimming past. Whales pass in front but I haven't spotted one myself. Watch the kite boarders sail 20' into the air. Watch the Ospreys shake in flight like a dog after diving for fish. Last year a Bald Eagle pair regularly fished out front off the rocks. Gaze at the shrimp boats with binoculars (provided) then drive up the road & buy tonights shrimp dinner you watched being caught. View the stars in the near total darkness. Cross over the bridge & explore Fort Matanzas and its nature trail for free.
