About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Our Matanzas Beach House is an amazing mix of the old charm and the new modern updates. It is positioned between the beautiful Matanzas Inlet Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway.

It is listed in the historical magazine of St Augustine. It is a sprawling property with so much natural beauty all around. There are paths, fountains, a beach tower for viewing and a large swing for relaxing after a day at the beach or fishing in the intracoastal. You can literally walk across A 1 A south and you are on the spectacular white sandy beach. There are two very large barn doors for access that keeps the property private and secure. The property is two lots with a separate listing on the second lot a 2019 airstream VRBO # ...you can book both for an additional 155 per nite.

The house features two platform queen bedrooms and a loft queen . There is also a single bed swing in the large living room for additional sleeping or relaxing. There is one large double sink bath with tub shower and also a private hot cold shower outside for additional private showering.

We keep the guest total at six but there is parking for four vehicles/ boat and or water toys.

The linens are top of the line along with everything you will need in the kitchen and outdoors so you will be exceedingly comfortable and happy.

I personally go to this beach house to relax and hang with best friends. There is great private gathering area behind the cottage with a proper cover so you can sit and relax on comfy furniture after a day of fun. There is also a hot tub for 18 and older guests on the property.

Please come and join will be a vacation you love and will remember for many years!

During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Matanzas River. 1 hot tub is available. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a patio in the holiday home.

Peaceful Unique Property Close to the Beach

This was such a unique property- we picked it just for that! The hot tub worked perfectly and the property was as cute as pictured. We were just a short walk from some beautiful sunrises. The area was quiet conveniently located between st. Augustine and hammock beach area. We really enjoyed our stay.

Hidden Gem

Our family loved our space in St. Augustine! It was perfect for our family. Even though it is close to the highway the walls/gates makes it feel like you're in your own little world and provides plenty of privacy. There are a few great beach access points. They went above and beyond in providing what one would need for their stay. My kids even enjoyed using the outside shower and it made it so easy for beach days! This spot is about 30 min from the st. Augustine historic district which was perfect for us. As we were more interested in a slower pace.

Cute cottage!

Place was about as cute as the pics let on. Clean. Very happy with the stay. One thing to look out for is if it rains a lot (as it usually does Florida afternoons) there is standing water where you pull your vehicle into the driveway and you will have to walk through it open and close the gate. Bring some rubber sandals. Backing out onto A1A would seem to be a pain but with a touch of patience never had an issue even when traffic was heavy. There is a dehumidifier in the kitchen. Empty it when it shuts off and helps keep the place nicer. I would stay here again.

Sea Horse Haven

We had a great time at this property. There are so many different seating areas, a wonderful swing day bed and screened in front porch. We cooked our meals and used the gas grill too. The beach is just across the road and Matanzas Inlet is just a short walk over the bridge. There are lots of towels and top quality linens there. The yard is completely fenced in even for our small dogs. We really enjoyed our week staying at Sea Horse Haven.

Family Vacation Getaway was a Dream

Clean, well stocked house within walking distance to the beach! Great location away from the busyness of downtown but still close to whatever you need. We had a wonderful stay- enjoyed the beach, swimming with dolphins at Marineland (right down the street), visited two lighthouses and more. Would definitely stay here again!

Private Cozy Cottage

The fenced in property was perfect for our small dog and gave us great privacy. The house was decorated and supplied nicely and the hot tub was a great bonus and perfect compliment to the peacefully backyard. You did have to drive a bit for different food and entertainment.

Very cool spot!

Sea Horse Haven is a very cool accommodation. It was a perfect layout for my wife and I to chill with our 2 Jack Russells. The house itself reminds more of the Florida Keys than the northeast part of the state. The house was clean, fresh and well appointed. The walled in grounds were much appreciated with regard to the dogs and the various gardens were well conceived. Lots of love and thought went into design of Sea Horse Haven both inside and out. The access to the magnificent beaches was a breeze and evenings in the hot tub was a great way to finish the day. Lastly, all of the restaurant recommendations were spot on. Didn't get a chance to hit them all but will work on the list when we return!

Romantic Anniversary

This place is perfect for all ages. My husband and I spent 4 days at Sea Horse Haven. The managers had everything you would need at this beach house. The walk to the beach is 2 minutes from the rental. Beautiful sunrises every day on the beach side and amazing sunsets on the Inlet side. You will find dozens of seashells on the beach every day. Also, Marine Land is 15 minutes from the rental so you and the children can swim with the dolphins! Beach house was immaculately clean and had plenty of spaces to chill. Beds so comfy I slept like a dream. Quiet and private but close to everything. What more can you ask for? Don't miss out on this hidden dream space..

We loved staying at this property! Our kids loved exploring and the cozy swing bed and loft, we enjoyed the outdoor space, hot tub, and EVERYONE loved the outdoor shower!! Walking to the beach was pretty easy, however would recommend a wagon if you have a lot of gear. Parking was easy and there were so many places to hang out. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Would love to stay again!

Great property!

Had a great time! Would go back. Pros: 1) secluded beach within walking distance. 2) owner provided lots of beach accessories. 3) house is quaint and immaculate. 4) outdoor shower and hot tub were awesome! 5) very dog friendly and could run around gated property. Cons: 1) damn horseflies at dusk! Which is not exclusive to this rental. 2) lots of road noise from A1A. 3) one bathroom only.
