About this property
Aqua Vista - Cozy beach home w/ large deck
Tucked on the east side of A1A in the serene island community of Summer Haven, Aqua Vista puts you just a half mile from the beach and 20 minutes from the heart of historic St. Augustine. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and space for up to 10 guests make this the ideal base for families or groups ready to slow down and soak in Florida's Historic Coast. Sorry, no pets.
Living & dining Inside, the open living area is built for gathering - a comfortable seating arrangement anchors the room, while a flat-screen streaming TV keeps evenings easy. The dining table offers plenty of room for the whole group to pull up a chair, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and all the cookware and dishes you need to prepare meals from scratch.
Sleeping arrangements Four bedrooms spread across the home sleep up to 10 guests across 5 beds. Bed linens, towels, and essentials are provided so you can pack light.
Outdoor spaces Step outside to the patio or balcony and feel the shift in pace immediately. A BBQ grill and outdoor dining area set the scene for relaxed evenings, and the upper-level deck is a great spot to start the morning. With free driveway parking for two vehicles and a private entrance, arrival is as smooth as the rest of your stay.
Everyday comforts Central air conditioning, ceiling fans, and heating keep the home comfortable year-round. A dedicated workspace, high-speed Wi-Fi, washer and dryer, iron, hangers, and keypad self check-in round out the practical side of things. Home safety features include a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit.
Getting around Summer Haven sits within easy reach of Marineland, Fort Matanzas National Monument, and the cobblestone streets of downtown St. Augustine - all under 30 minutes away. The Matanzas Inlet is a short drive for anyone who wants to fish.

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!

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.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Upon your recommendation, we have replaced the front porch furniture and added beach chairs. Thanks again.
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.

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.
