The Space:
THE SKINNY:
Welcome to Aqua Haven: your peaceful retreat in the beloved Summer Haven community just south of St. Augustine. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Matanzas Inlet area, this spacious coastal home offers the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience. Multiple screened-in porches, a heated pool (with fee) with waterfall feature, wood burning fire pit, lush tropical surroundings, and calming breezes make it easy to unplug the moment you arrive.
Whether you’re gathering upstairs in the bright, open living area, whipping up a meal in the large kitchen with its stylish coffee station, or getting some work done at the dedicated desk space, Aqua Haven has room for everyone to settle in. Downstairs, a completely private suite offers a full kitchen, living space, renovated bathroom, and screened patio, ideal for two guests who want their own haven. And with 2 dogs up to 50 lbs each welcome, the whole family can enjoy this coastal escape together.
THE PROXIMITY:
You’re just 0.5 miles from the Matanzas Inlet Beach Access, just a quick 10-minute walk or a 1-minute drive (and golf cart rentals are available if you'd like a fun way to get around). Palm Coast is only 5–10 minutes south, offering Washington Oaks State Park, The Hammock Golf Club, and plenty of restaurants and bars. Grocery runs are easy with Publix and Winn-Dixie about 15 minutes away.
Nearby attractions include mini golf, The Lighthouse, The Alligator Farm, and local favorites such as Commanders, Sand Bar, A1A Back 40, Viola’s Pizza, and 386, each within a short drive. Explore Matanzas Inlet by kayak or paddleboard, where dolphin sightings are common, or enjoy breezy beach walks while hunting for shark teeth.
Head 15 minutes north to St. Augustine Beach for more dining, bars, coffee shops, weekly farmers markets, and drive-on beach access at A Street for 4WD vehicles. For bigger adventures, day trips to Disney World, Daytona Beach, Cape Canaveral, World Golf Hall of Fame, and TPC Sawgrass are all within reach.
THE SPACE:
Thoughtfully designed for comfort and flexibility, Aqua Haven offers two distinct living areas that make group travel a breeze. Upstairs features three bedrooms, a large living room, a beautifully equipped kitchen with a cool coffee station, a spacious dining area, and access to inviting screened-in porches perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. A large dedicated desk area makes remote work easy when needed.
Downstairs, the private suite is a standout feature! Ideal for grandparents, couples, or anyone wanting a little extra privacy. With its own kitchen, living space, renovated bathroom, and screened patio, it feels like a retreat within a retreat. Throughout the home, fast Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, and plenty of comfortable seating ensure a relaxing and connected stay.
The outdoor spaces of this home really shine, with multiple porches, 2 of them screened and spacious, a newly built heated pool with waterfall feature, wood-burning fire pit and bicycles to take to the beach, this house really just has it all! Look no further.

*SECURITY DEPOSIT: In lieu of a traditional security deposit charge or authorization hold for a large sum, we will instead charge a one-time non-refundable incidentals fee to your stay of $149. This fee acts as insurance for minor damages and covers you up to a max of $1500 of damage. You may elect to increase your incidentals fee for more coverage ($199 for $2000 and so on and so forth). *IMPORTANT: Guests must report to us any damage that has taken place during their stay before checkout, otherwise the incidental fee coverage is null and void. In this case, we reserve the right to charge the full amount of repairing or replacing the damaged items to you. Your insurance coverage amount ($1000) is not the max that you are responsible for. If damages exist beyond your coverage amount we will document this with photos and professional estimates of repair, and bill you for the repairs or replacements.

Private pool (with option to have pool heated for $60/day or $350/wk)
>>When outdoor temperature drops below 60 degrees, we cannot guarantee the pool will be able to warm up to a swimmable temperature even with the heat on high.
The Neighborhood:
Locally, we have several rental places where you can stock up on beach and water sports gear. Additionally, there is a service called Drifters that will come to the house to drop off bikes that you can rent at a daily rate.
Nearby restaurants include 386, Bronx House, Ragga Surf Outdoor Cafe, Commanders (a local favorite for oysters and seafood). One of my all time favorites is Back 40 A1A! You have to try the Chimichurri Steak Quesadilla and Jerk Chicken Tacos!
