About this property

Entire place

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

Sea Horse Haven .... Matanzas Inlet Beach House. White sandy barrier island!!

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!

We loved our stay at Sea Horse Haven! It was so close to Matanzas Inlet and the beach and we walked to both every day. It was also VERY pet-friendly - we could let the dogs run free outside without having to worry about them at all since the entire property is double-gated. Decor was adorable, and house had everything we needed. Short easy drive to both the great restaurants and entertainment of St. Augustine as well as shopping and beaches in the Hammock areas south of the rental. We would definitely stay here again.

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!

Awesome beach vacation spot!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sea Horse Haven! Matanzas Inlet is absolutely beautiful and this rental was in the perfect convenient location to enjoy the beach each day. The house itself was so charming and had a vintage beach shack vibe that my family adored. Cozy and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Hope to come back soon!

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.

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.
