Oceanfront cottage in Summer Haven overlooking the Matanzas Inlet. Enjoy ocean views from sunrise to sunset—perfect as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or investment property, with beach access just a short stroll south. Two front patios invite the coastal breeze, one of them fully screened for year-round comfort. Locals affectionately call Summer Haven “the Center of the Universe,” and from 1930–1945 this cottage was part of Chester’s Matanzas Court & Restaurant. For decades the area drew vacationers such as the Mellons, Carnegies, and Henry Flagler; today it’s a quiet enclave bordered by parks. Everyday conveniences are only 10 minutes away, while historic St. Augustine and laid-back Flagler Beach are a quick 20-minute drive.
