Fabulous oceanfront home with ocean view, WiFi, washer/dryer, & central AC

Historic Lodge at Summerhaven

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Live your Ernest Hemingway fantasy in this oceanfront lodge, furnished for comfort with beach-style wood paneling and a view of the ocean. Everyone can come along to this wonderfully intimate home, built in 1895 and complete with two screened-in porches so you can take in the fresh ocean air. Modern amenities like central air-conditioning and a private washer/dryer will keep everyone comfortable during your stay. The home is all ground floor, so no one will struggle with stairs. If you're coming in from the ocean, just rinse off in the outdoor shower and step right inside. The airy, bright kitchen features full-size appliances and open shelving to help you find what you need. With the ocean so close, a picnic basket might be the most used beach item during your stay.

The bedrooms of this home are laid out in a straightforward manner, so everyone can branch out and pick their favorite. As guests come through the front door, the first bedroom lies directly to the left and features a ceiling fan and shuttered windows. Directly across the hall, the second bedroom features a ceiling fan and a direct entrance to the hallway's full bathroom that features a shower/tub combination. The third bedroom, set up like a bunk room with high ceilings, also features a private entrance to this bathroom. On the other side of the hall, the fourth bedroom lies directly across from the full bathroom and features a ceiling fan and built-in shelving. The fifth and final bedroom is just next store and features a ceiling fan, numerous pieces of framed art, and a private entrance to the sunny second full bathroom (which itself features a standalone shower and a soaking tub).

Hard pass
Very cool old house with lots of history and character, but fleas in the kitchen ruined the whole experience.

Gorgeous Location, House is not what is pictured.
Check in was easy. This home sits in amazing spot between the ocean and the intercostal waterway. The hurricanes have changed where the water is behind the house but it is still an easy walk to the water, with a wide open beach area for the kids to play. We absolutely loved the area. The home was also easily accessible with a ramp, for my elderly family member. The house itself needs some major TLC. We were expecting the historic, rustic home listed but the house was not as pictured. It has splintering floors, separating walls, what looks to be a water damaged kitchen, moldy/dirty furniture and there was even a window pane broken in one of the rooms. The home has an odor, which is partially expected with the age, but it was quite strong. * The road to the home was also washed out by a hurricane and is being repaired.

Relax & enjoy
We had a wonderful time celebrating my Mom’s 95 th birthday. What a location! The ocean and the river - both are close by. This is the best fishing my brother has had in FL in 20 years of visiting. The house is unique. We are country people at heart and we just loved it. We were comfortable and plan to book again next time we get together in FL.

Real Florida, Memories Revived & New Ones Made
Thanks to the owners for making their lodge available to others. The house reminded my wife of the Florida family lake house where she grew up spending summers. It reminded me of my grandparents Florida Cracker ranch house. This place has character. We felt completely comfortable and at home. The property is left in its natural state which is great to us because it preserves the dune ecosystem. If you want manicured lawns and five star hotel type atmosphere, don't stay here. If you want a more authentic rustic quiet Florida coastal setting with the ocean out front and the Matanzas Inlet/River nearby, this is the place for you. For us it was wonderful! We hope to come back again in the future.
