About This Home
As of May 2024Discover the charm and history of this unique beach cottage, perfectly nestled steps from the ocean in the tranquil community of Summer Haven, east of A1A. This inviting home, filled with natural light, is perfect for someone seeking a primary beach house or an investment treasure allowing nightly rentals. This property stands out with no HOA restrictions and incredible potential on an oversized lot. Rich in history, this cottage once served as the Cove Tavern Hotel, later becoming a cherished guest cottage for visitors of the Mellon family.

The expansive outdoor space has ample boat and RV parking. Being sold AS IS, bring your own visions to life creating a private oasis with room for a pool. Key updates include the metal roof installed in 2020, modern tankless water heater in 2023, and new electrical breakers in 2023. There is a large retractable awning on the back porch that can cover most of the area. The electrical and plumbing were updated in 2013 and there is a convenient ramp leading to the deck. Please be sure to see the 360 virtual tour. Don't miss the chance to own this piece of paradise and turn your dreams into reality. Imagine the possibilities awaiting in this coastal gem.
