# Historic Cottage at Summerhaven – 3 Bedroom Vacation Rental in St. Augustine, Florida | Casago First Coast Professionally managed by Casago First Coast. A white clapboard cottage from the 1880s, standing behind the dune at Summer Haven with a two-storey lookout tower and a coquina stone chimney. Inside, very little has been modernised away — original wooden door frames, low doorways, painted board walls, and a ceiling opened up to its white-painted rafters. Light comes in from three sides through banks of windows onto heart-pine floors, with vintage blue-and-white rattan chairs pulled up to a rough stone fireplace at one end and a long farmhouse table at the other. Summer Haven is a small, old coastal community on the narrow strip south of St. Augustine — no resorts, no crowds, and a beach guests routinely describe having to themselves. One recent guest wrote that it feels like something out of a Hemingway novel. —————————————————————————— The Space Very little here has been modernised away, and that is the point. Original wooden door frames, low doorways, painted board walls, and a ceiling opened up to its white-painted rafters. The main room runs the width of the cottage with windows on three sides, so it is full of light from sunrise onward. Furniture is old-Florida rather than showroom: slipcovered sofas, blue-and-white rattan armchairs, a yellow painted trunk for a coffee table. The coquina stone fireplace anchors one end, with a long farmhouse table and mismatched painted chairs at the other. A two-storey lookout tower rises off the front of the cottage to an open observation deck under a terracotta-tiled roof, reached by an exterior stair. It is the best seat in the house for sunrise over the Atlantic. —————————————————————————— Bedrooms and Sleeping Arrangements Bedroom 1 — 1 Queen bed Bedroom 2 — 1 Queen bed Bedroom 3 — 2 Single beds One of the guest rooms has a dedicated workspace. —————————————————————————— Bathroom One full bathroom with a walk-in shower, shared by all three bedrooms. —————————————————————————— In-Unit Amenities • Full kitchen with generous cupboard space and dishwasher • Coquina and river-stone fireplace • Central air conditioning • Smart TV with cable • WiFi and a dedicated workspace in one guest room • Washer and dryer in the cottage • Covered porch, deck and outdoor furniture • Two-storey lookout tower with open observation deck —————————————————————————— Location — Summer Haven, St. Augustine • Behind the dune line, a short walk to a quiet Atlantic beach • Excellent surf and some of the best shelling on this coast • Sunrises over the water from the lookout tower • A small, old coastal community with no resorts and no crowds • Historic St. Augustine a drive north for restaurants, galleries and landmarks • Fishing nearby • Free parking on site —————————————————————————— Good to Know • Check-in after 4:00 PM | Check-out before 10:00 AM • Maximum occupancy: 6 guests • The access road requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle • One bathroom serves all three bedrooms • This is a historic building — original doors, frames and low doorways are part of its character, and it does not seal like new construction • The rear bedrooms run warmer than the front of the house in summer • Several windows do not have blinds or curtains • The lookout tower is reached by an exterior stair; there is no elevator • The setting is shared with a neighbouring rental property This property is professionally managed by Casago First Coast.
