Summer Haven is a secluded beach enclave between the Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River. This narrow barrier strip is prized for its tranquility, sweeping water views, and close connection to nature. With limited development and a quiet shoreline, it’s a hidden gem for buyers who value privacy and true waterfront living.

Homes in Summer Haven are often elevated beach cottages or custom waterfront builds designed to maximize views and breezes. Inventory is limited and zoning along Old A1A can be unique—working with an experienced local agent is essential to navigate shoreline, access, and insurance considerations confidently.
