Perfect beach vacation

MiCasa has everything you could want in a beach vacation. All the comforts of home but the ocean is your front yard. We have stayed in a few homes along the ocean and this by far is the best beach for kayaking, privacy, and the inlet provides a better overall swimming experience.

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!

We loved our stay. A quiet beach is just outside your door. We brought our dog - the large patio is gated with a green space for pets. The owners were friendly and communication was easy. Seeing sea turtles everyday was an added bonus!
