St. Augustine House | Mellon Haven - Island Cottage

2 Bedroom House in St. Augustine

This 1924 Beach Cottage was part of the original Mellon Estate located on the Summer Haven Island. Literally steps from the Atlantic Ocean (one of the best surfing spots in St Augustine), it is the perfect hideaway to escape to the Island! Equipped with WIFI, they will never know you are working remotely! This is a great quiet area to spend some time with your family a bit removed from the popular activities nearby. The home is updated, and features a screened porch that doubles the living space. The hardest part is going home.
Beach Access Update after the storm: The beach is accessible! The south end is best accessed during low tide. The north end, near the inlet has not changed, best access is a little further up from the old walkway. The national park on the other side of the inlet is open and has a great boardwalk. There are multiple beaches 3-5 min drive for additional access at low/high tide in both directions. We are happy to send photos if needed.

Summary: Instructions to find and access the property were very clear. Amenities were as described. Property is very close to the beach, and we heard no noise from the neighbors. Very peaceful. Short drive to St. Augustine. Bed was very comfortable, and excellent bath towels. We didn't use the screened-in porch area, but it looks perfect for warmer weather enjoyment.We had a very nice stay and would like to return during beach season!Patrick & Tanya

Summary: The cottage is in a quiet area away from A1A, so no road noise. Opening the front door reveals a delightful living room, flowing into the dining/kitchen area. The kitchen is stocked with every you need to cook. Appliances are well done. The back deck/porch area is the best place to spend early morning with coffee and make plans for the activity of the day. Linda has a great eye for decorating the cottage. She also informed of a minor internet interruption and notified us when it ended. She is a great host. Thank you for a great week.

Summary: Overall the property was very cute and clean. But, there was some disappointments. The electricity in the house often dimmed and flickered. The neighborhood is pretty run-down. We were led to believe that we had beach access nearby. There was no safe access to the beach and much of the beach was not safe due to hurricane damage and debris.

Summary: This is a beautifully restored beach cottage in perfect condition. The screened in back porch area was wonderful. We spent all our evenings out there. The Host, Linda, was wonderful; immediate responses to all questions. Attention to detail was impressive. So many little extras were provided that I would not have thought of. We'll be back.

Summary: We needed to find a pet friendly rental on very short notice and were able to book the site the day before arrival. The owner is very responsive to our needs. The DVD player mentioned in amenities was missing and the owner had Amazon deliver a new Bluray player. The house itself is old and quant. The back porch is fantastic for relaxing. As others have mentioned - the bathroom shower is in a claw foot tube and suitable for folks under 5 feet tall due to shower height. The outdoor shower is where you want to shower off. It is by the back porch and sufficiently private for use - nice wooden enclosure. The beach at Matanzas inlet is a 3 minute drive and is a very nice beach! Palm Coast beaches, 10 minutes south. However, the ad description under amenities needs updating - it mentions a short walk to the beach. It is a short walk to where the beach used to be before Hurricane Ian. There is currently no beach at the end of the street, only rocks. If you turn left at the rocks and follow the rocks towards the inlet, the rocks end at a damaged beach house and some sand starts at the bottom of a steep drop off. If you are somewhat acrobatic, you might be able to carefully climb down there. The best option is to drive to the inlet parking lots north of the bridge and access the beach or inter-coastal side from there. If you drive south there are some pull offs on the beach side that can allow access - half mile south. Overall, a nice place to stay and enjoy the area!
