Just over St. Augustine Florida’s sprawling Matanzas Inlet, in gorgeous Summer Haven, awaits a luxurious six thousand square foot oceanfront home available for private rental. Well-suited for family reunions, this palm-encircled three story home is one of the largest private rentals available in our popular vacation town.
Twenty minutes south of historic downtown St. Augustine, Florida, you will not be too far to explore it each day, if you wish. The distance will be much appreciated by your family or group, however, as the distance from tourism-based hotels ensures a quiet and peace usually only enjoyed by locals. Our beach vacation house itself offers the same degrees of togetherness and isolation, with abounding common areas to enjoy with your group as well as the calming retreats of upstairs bedrooms with cable television, balconies, and the serene beach itself, which you may enjoy on your own. Whether here with friends and loved ones for the town or the unique experience provided by the house alone, you will come away both refreshed and reconnected.
The first floor’s recreation area comes complete with a pool table, a TV with cable, refrigerator, and exercise room. A full bathroom is conveniently located here for washing up after frolics on the beach, rigorous exercising, or biking around the quiet island on the provided bicycles. A large front porch allows you to take in the Atlantic Ocean between family games or while waiting for cousins to assemble themselves before heading over to the beach just steps from the home.
The second floor is the heart of the home, with a fully equipped kitchen, accompanying dining room and dinette area, as well as an impressive family room. A very large balcony, of course, looking out onto the Atlantic Ocean, is ideal for relaxing after a home-cooked meal and is also conveniently situated for tossing water balloons at members of your family approaching the house. A door to this kitchen provides easy access to refreshments while enjoying the pool area behind the house, with its heated pool, Jacuzzi, and half bathroom. This is a perfect beach vacation rental.
The third floor is your nightly sanctuary as you retreat to one of the five bedrooms, all of which have a calming ocean view and cable TV for your entertainment. The two full bathrooms on this floor also provide views of the ocean, leaving you feeling so surrounded by water that the home seems to be your own private island getaway. The palms dancing around the house and the soft, perpetual ocean rumblings ensure that each night’s rest invigorate you for your next day in St. Augustine.
As if three furnished floors with views of the ocean aren’t enough to quench your thirst for it, a flat roof with provided chairs offers the most spectacular view. You’re sure not to miss the sunrise wherever you are in the house, but catching it up here sets the best stage for the event. From here, also, the sunsets over the Intracoastal Water Way may rival the ocean sunrises. On the fourth of July, the view allows you very special access to the fireworks displays from all neighboring towns, including the largest, being St. Augustine’s.
