Lovely coastal cottage just a short walk from the beach, located in Summer Haven—a quiet, historic island community in southern St. Johns County. Built in 2019, this home is in excellent condition and ready for immediate enjoyment. The south-facing balcony captures warm winter sun and cooling summer breezes—perfect for morning coffee at sunrise and evening wine at sunset. Set on nearly half an acre, the property fronts a tidal creek, allowing you to launch a paddleboard or kayak right from your backyard and return with redfish for dinner. Summer Haven is a gem - originally developed in the late 1800’s as a summer haven, the area is rich in history, with many original homes still intact, preserving its old-Florida beach character. Tucked away enough to offer peace and quiet, yet close enough for easy access to local attractions. This property would make a great primary residence or weekend beach house.
