Casa Aqua: Spacious Beach Retreat Near Matanzas Inlet with Firepit & Ocean Views
Escape to Casa Aqua, a serene coastal haven just 1,000 feet from the sandy shores of Summer Haven Beach and minutes from the famed Matanzas Inlet. This spacious 5-bedroom, dog-friendly home comfortably sleeps 12 guests and offers the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and modern comfort for families and groups alike.
The Space
Step inside this thoughtfully designed beach house, where coastal charm meets cozy living. Relax by the gas fireplace in the inviting living room or gather around the firepit under towering oak trees to roast marshmallows and share stories. The well-equipped kitchen and adjacent dining areas provide ample space for family meals or game nights—both indoors and outside on the porches.
Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and unwind with tranquil ocean breezes from one of the two private porches. The primary suite features a king bed, private balcony, and an ensuite bathroom complete with a walk-in shower and soaking tub.

We had a wonderful stay here and the house was beautiful. There is an ocean view from the upper balconies. Our only negative was the shower pressure in all bathrooms…I ended up having to take a bath to wash sand off of me.

The house itself is lovely. However the beds are so uncomfortable no one in our party of 8 could sleep well. There were also bugs in the house (sugar ants, roaches). The yard needs maintenance and there was a bag of dog poop left in the back yard. It almost seems as if the property is not well maintained. Also the description is misleading, as you cannot access the beach from the house due to a huge rock barrier. You must drive to one of the public beach access points, several minutes away. The beach itself is very nice, with plush sand and mild waves for swimming.
