Intracoastal Waterfront House on Private island surrounded by National Parks

Longvue is an Old Florida house set on private Medicis island in the Intracoastal Waterway surrounded by the Guana/Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (73,000 acres) and Stokes Landing Conservation Preserve (300 acres). Private floating dock with tidal access to the IWC. Very private island with 6 residences. The 10 acre island is surrounded by rivers, marsh flats and fresh water ponds. Boat/Kayak to the National Reserve and walk the trails to S. Ponte Vedra Beach.

Longvue sits on over 1 acre with 330' of marsh frontage and open lawn on three sides. Open and bright 2,600 sf floor plan with vaulted ceilings and french doors leading to wrap-around brick Terraces. The property has a beautiful canopy of coastal live oaks, palms and magnolias and plenty of open yard on all sides. Manatee and Porpoise feed in the marsh creeks along with an amazing variety of birds and waterfowl. Beds are Queen, Twins and King at Master with most beds having trundles underneath (see photos for floor plan and bed Spec). Wood burning fire place in the River Room. New 60" flatscreen with commercial speed wifi. The Family Room has separate 1/2 bath and can be used as a 5th bedroom. The property is a great place for your dog (extra pet cleaning fee applies). We have just installed a new variable speed HVAC system with dehumidification as well as new well and septic pumps to eliminate issues during your stay. Also a new septic system/pumps/drain fields as well as new water well pumps and irrigation pumps. There is a new refrigerator and dishwasher (8/2020) as well as a new set of washer & dryer (7/2020). This is a family weekend River House so the furniture is not perfect but elegant, timeless and comfortable. There are no screens on the windows.

There is a new Publix approximately 1 mile north of Stokes Landing Rd. on US1 at Palencia.

The yard to Longvue is mostly to the east and south and has 330’ of marsh frontage so there is plenty of yard and space as the neighbors to the south are set far back and around the cul-du-sac. $150 additional cleaning fee will be requested after booking for guests with pets.

Amazing saltwater fishing on fly or light tackle with world class flood tide flat fishing in September thru December as well as duck hunting in season at the Guana Preserve. Extra Large Green Egg grill/smoker next to pre-civil war era sugar kettle / brick fire pit. Private Horse Farm 1/4 mile just off-island for horse back riding on the island. This is a natural Florida aquifer & well so the water does have a sulphur mineral aroma for those not used to Florida water. We have a regular well system cleaning service.

No weddings, gatherings or events are allowed as per home owners association policy - please review the rules and penalties.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great spot

It’s not often that the results and better than you anticipated. That’s the case with Longvue. It was like home away from home. Very quiet location beautiful view of the marsh, and the house was so nice for the four of us. A great three weeks.

good and bad

The cover photo of the property is clearly an older one Since it was taken there is a new build within a a few feet of the north side of the house. A massive marble deck was installed when we rented and the loud, jarring noise of tile . cutting saws started at 8:30 am until 6:pm Next the chain saws for another 3 days of tree removal then the owner would get the leaf blower out just as we started to grill outdoors. It was disturbing and truly ruined the tranquil beauty of the conservation area. Inside the home was clean, nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. A shower head had to be replaced in the master bath. Outside the big green egg grill was broken had to be repaired. Trash had to be cleaned up from what had clearly been a big bon fire party with previous tenants. a

Feeling at home near St. Augustine

We used this VRBO as a place of refuge after busy days touring nearby St. Augustine. We watched the tides come and go in the salt marsh and saw a variety of wildlife. The sunrise was amazing. Heavy rains kept us inside much of the time, but we lit up the back yard every night. This is a great property if you want to feel "at home".

Great Place to Relax with Family

This was our first time as a family renting a house on the intercoastal area around Ponte Vedra. We have always stayed in a Beach House directly on the beach. We wanted to try something different this year and it was wonderful. The house was in a beautiful location. View from the main living area was outstanding every day. 20 to 30 minute drive to the beach, where the private public beaches with no houses was wonderful. At the house, first time my 3 kids ever fished at the beach and it was a great added activity that created a lot of memories. The fishing was right off the back dock and was very good the four days we did it. Kids usually wanted to leave beach early to get back to fish as the high tide was getting close. Same distance to all of our favorite restaurants in the area as in previous years. Overall, great location, very peaceful and great family time.

Welcome to paradise

What a lovely experience, in a gorgeous home. The house was super comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated in the style of the home. Although it felt like we were isolated anything needed was a short drive away. The morning sunrises over the marsh were breathtaking. Our only downfall was that we arrived right after hurricane Nicole so the grounds were still very saturated and muddy.

We had the best time here- we paddle boarded, kayaked, and fished with the most amazing view. It was as so relaxing for the adults yet still kept all our children entertained with lots of fun AND off their electronics. It was such a beautiful place.

This house is true to it's listing - this house was warm, inviting and peaceful, with a beautiful view. There is a firepit and a green egg grill.

Perfect 65th BDay Celebration stay 1/2021

This vacation felt like we were staying in a home right out of the pages of a Southern Living Magazine! The decor was beautiful and welcoming. The stone floors were my favorite. And the location of this estate was magnificent! We woke up to stunning sunrises reflecting in the the marsh inlets. And in the distance we could see yachts traveling down the ICW. The quite starlit nights were perfect for our campfires and roasting marshmallows. We only wish we had more time to stay. Jen A Silverstrand, Oxnard, CA

Close to everything, but off the beaten path. A magical place!

What a beautiful home! It was so relaxing to sit out on the dock with our morning coffee and watch the birds fly by. It’s close to St. Augustine, the beaches, restaurants, and grocery stores, yet when you are here, you feel like you are a million miles away from it all. Our very first evening here, we went to sit on the dock and watch my son fish. We noticed something chewing on the grass off the dock, and realized it was a manatee! It ended up swimming right past us, and got so close I was able to capture it on video. We unfortunately didn’t see it again (we looked EVERY night!), but what a warm welcome! House is spacious and beautifully decorated. Beds were comfy and we all slept well. Neighbors are quiet. Hope to be back at some point In the near future! Thank you for renting your lovely home out to us, we had such a nice time :-)

Great place , plenty of wildlife, and very peaceful!

Beautiful property, saw a sea turtle right by the dock . A lot of different species of birds. Fishing was ok . The house was really nice overall. Shower upstairs was in pretty rough shape . Property owners were really helpful! The only thing I didn’t like is one of the rooms upstairs only had a daybed ! Also no locks on the bathroom doors . The room with the daybed didn’t have a wall that connects to the downstairs, so you could here everything going on downstairs when trying to sleep. Overall a great experience. Very peaceful and isolated, the pros definitely outweighed the cons. Made some great memories with my family and you will too with yours when you rent this property. ! 👍
