Perfect location

If you are a beach lover this is the place for you! I had a broken foot so not having to walk far was key! The patio is on the beach so you can stay there or walk 10 steps to be in the sand! Unbelievable variety and abundance of birds if you enjoy that also. Host was very approachable and responsive.

Cant get better than this

This property is located smack dab on the water. At high tide you can literally spit into the water by leaning over the railing surrounding the deck. The difference between high and low tide is striking and fascinating. The views from the deck and inside are spectacular. If you come to enjoy sun and moon rises, youre in the right place. The convenience of this property cant be overstated. No schlepping of beach equipment to the beach. Just grab your chair and take it a few steps to the water line. Need to grab a snack? Walk back into your unit just a few steps. The stretch of beach is pretty cut off from the road, so the beach is almost empty all day, even on weekends. Just an incredible location. The unit itself is very nice, the kitchen is new and the bathrooms are updated and pleasant. Theres a bbq right in the deck and nothing compares to preparing and eating your dinner while overlooking the beach and water. The layout of the unit is unique. Master bedroom is on the second floor, its spacious and offers full view of beach. It leads up to the third floor loft with two singles. Everything was very clean and neat and very comfortable. I give the unit a two thumbs up. If youre looking for a spectacular location, this is it.

Nice Beach

We always love to stay at Matanzas Inlet. It is a beautiful beach with white sand. The condo itself is very nice with plenty of room for family. The upstairs bedroom has a comfortable king bed and is very roomy. The spiral stairs can be a challenge for older people but I think it adds character to the place. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Amazing setting in the breakers

The highlight of renting this unit is that the concrete deck protrudes into the waves at high tide. Also, it is adjacent to the inlet where the Matanza river flows into the Atlantic ocean with a striking title plain that runs maybe 200 yards out into the ocean at low tide. if you love the ocean breaking around you, watching Osprey dive into the water in front of you and catch fish, explore the title pools at low tide for all kinds of interesting life - This is your place. The rental itself is very comfortable and rustic. We enjoyed every moment of it. The kitchen and some furniture have been recently refurbished, and it met all our needs. The beds are very comfortable. The place was very clean. We would love to visit here again next year.

Everyone loved the location so much that the kids said they would rather stay at beach instead of going to universal Studios on the 31st. We told them we needed to support MCHS band , so we went on Sat.. However, Sat. night my daughter skipped a day at Universal to be with us at your condo. My husband even got to fish more, since we were so close to inlet. Everything was great, and host was very responsive when we asked questions. We will definely be back.

We absolutely loved the area! The beach was clean and expansive, not crowded at all. My kids loved the sandbars which were accessible during low tide, there were a lot of fish, crabs, turtles.and birds around. My kids even caught a few fish! We also had two small dogs that were able to play safely on the fenced in yard and deck. Barry was very responsive to messages, and made sure to answer all our questions. The property was very well-stocked, and conveniently located near parks and restaurants. Overall, we had a wonderful time and wouldnt hesitate to book again.

Fabulous Mi Casa at Magnificent Matanzas Inlet!

What a dream vacation! The condo was very comfortable and cozy. Clean, neat, and relaxing. The kitchen had great new appliances. The washer and dryer were very easy to use and did a great job! The tv and wifi worked very well, also! The upstairs bedroom was very clean and comfortable, as were the two twin beds on the 3rd floor. You couldn’t ask for better accommodations! The owners were very quick to respond to a couple of questions I had, which was very impressive! The huge massive deck had great high, sturdy, easy to sit in and easy to get down from chairs to sit and watch the ocean. The ocean views are majestic and mesmerizing at Mi Casa. The ocean rushes into the inlet with an intensity that is riveting to watch! At low tide, everything is peaceful and calm, with tide pools and sloughs that are delightful to wade in and leisurely float or swim in. The shells are abundant on the beach each day and we loved collecting them. A magical place to spend a fabulous vacation! We can’t wait to come back next year!
