Living in Florida's Space Coast
San Sebastian
San Sebastian is a small old plat on the river side of US 1 in Micco, near the mouth of the Sebastian River. The streets are the original Micco grid: Daytona Boulevard, Central Avenue, 3rd Avenue, 15th Street. There is no association. Properties here tend to carry more than one structure, and one of them sits directly on the Intracoastal.
San Sebastian In Micco, Florida
This is a recorded plat rather than a modern subdivision, and the layout gives it away. You leave US 1 at Daytona Boulevard, head west, and pick up 3rd Avenue, Central Avenue and 15th Street, the sort of plain grid that was drawn before anyone thought to theme a street name. A handful of properties front US 1 itself on the riverside stretch. Micco is unincorporated Brevard County, so county code governs.
There is no homeowner association here and no assessment, and the properties reflect that freedom in a specific way: they are frequently more than a single house. One carries a fully furnished apartment above a 40 by 45 garage. Another pairs an 1,855 square foot main residence with a 697 square foot guest house that has its own entrance, bedroom, bath, living area and kitchenette. That is unusual for Brevard County and hard to replicate today.
Lots run from 0.27 acres to just over half an acre, and homes date from 1987 to 2003 with 2002 typical. Square footage runs 1,384 to 2,552. Construction is a mix of frame and block, and two properties carry metal roofs. Storm shutters are recorded on three of the four, which is worth noting a mile from open water on the lagoon side.
Water views are the reason for the price. Two properties record river and Intracoastal views and one sits directly on the water with panoramic views from the kitchen, great room and main suite. One home has a screened, electrically heated pool. Public water serves most of the properties, private wells are also on record, and every property is on a septic tank.
Price per square foot runs near $282, the highest of any neighborhood in this Micco and Mims set, with a typical price around $499,950 and a range from $390,000 to $730,000. Homes here have taken about 67 days to sell, which is slow, and that is what you would expect from a small plat where every property is different and the buyer pool is specific.

San Sebastian Details
Two Structures On One Lot
A furnished apartment over a 40 by 45 garage on one property, a 697 square foot guest house with its own entrance and kitchenette on another. Older plats with no association allowed this, and current county rules make it hard to build new. Verify the legal status of any second unit.
Directly On The Intracoastal
One property in the plat sits on the water with panoramic views from the kitchen, great room and main suite, and three sets of sliders opening onto a screened porch and an open porch. Water frontage is scarce here, which is why the price per foot leads the area.
The Original Micco Grid
Daytona Boulevard, Central Avenue, 3rd Avenue, 15th Street. These are the bones of the old settlement rather than a developer's plan, which is why the lots vary in shape and the houses vary in era and orientation.
No Association Anywhere In It
Nothing bills you and nothing approves your plans. County code is the only constraint. That is what makes the second structures, the oversized garages and the varied architecture possible, and it is a large part of why people buy on this side of US 1.
Boat Water Close By
San Sebastian Marina in Micco has a launch onto the Indian River Lagoon and the St Sebastian River, with a fee for use. From there you can run the lagoon in either direction, which is the practical version of waterfront living without owning the frontage.
A Slower Market
Typical marketing time here runs around 67 days. Small plats with distinctive properties do not turn over quickly, which cuts both ways: less competition when you are buying, more patience required when you eventually sell.

San Sebastian Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an HOA in San Sebastian?
No. There is no homeowner association and no dues. Micco is unincorporated Brevard County, so county code and any restrictions recorded on your individual deed are what apply. Have your title work confirm what runs with the specific lot.
Is San Sebastian on the water?
One property in the plat fronts the Intracoastal directly and two others record river or Intracoastal views. The rest sit near the water without frontage. Do not assume water access from the plat name alone. Check the specific parcel.
Can I keep a boat here?
San Sebastian Marina in Micco offers a launch onto the Indian River Lagoon and the St Sebastian River for a fee, and the lagoon connects to the Atlantic through the Sebastian Inlet. Whether a specific property can accommodate a dock or a trailer depends on the lot and county permitting.
What utilities serve these homes?
Public water reaches most of the properties, private wells are also recorded, and every property is on a septic tank. Confirm which water source serves the house you are considering, and budget for a septic and drain field inspection either way.
Are guest houses and second units allowed?
Multiple properties in this plat already carry them, including an apartment over a garage and a detached guest house with its own kitchenette. Whether an existing unit is permitted and legal, and whether a new one could be built, are separate questions for Brevard County.
Why is the price per square foot so high?
Water. At roughly $282 a foot on homes between 1,384 and 2,552 square feet, you are paying for proximity to the Indian River Lagoon and, on one property, direct frontage. Square footage is not what drives value in this pocket.
Is Micco on the beach?
No. Micco sits on the mainland along the west side of the Indian River Lagoon. The Atlantic is across the water on the barrier island, and Sebastian Inlet State Park is reached by driving south or north to a crossing and then along A1A.
What is the drive to Melbourne or Vero?
US 1 runs north through Grant and Valkaria toward Palm Bay and Melbourne, and south into Sebastian and on to Vero Beach. I-95 is reached by heading west on Micco Road or Roseland Road. Neither direction is a long trip, but both are drives.
Daytona Boulevard and 15th Street, Micco 32976
San Sebastian occupies the lower end of Micco, close to where the St Sebastian River meets the Indian River Lagoon, in unincorporated south Brevard County. US 1 runs through the plat, with riverside frontage on the east and the older grid of Daytona Boulevard, 3rd Avenue, Central Avenue and 15th Street on the west. The Brevard and Indian River county line sits just south along the river.
For everyday needs, Sebastian is minutes down US 1 with the full run of shopping, and Palm Bay and Melbourne are north through Grant and Valkaria. Micco Road and Roseland Road are the connections west to I-95. St Sebastian River Preserve State Park, with more than sixty miles of multi use trail, is west of US 1. Micco is on the lagoon, not the ocean, so the beach means crossing to the barrier island.

Considering San Sebastian?
In an old plat like this one, the questions that matter are whether the guest house or garage apartment is legally permitted, where the flood elevation sits, and what the septic system can actually support. My partner Nichole and I will run all three down with the county before you commit to anything. Call or text (321) 212-7676.
