Cabana Builder in Fleming Island, FL

Custom cabanas for Fleming Island backyards: a shaded retreat by the pool or out in the yard.

Most afternoons by the pool end when the sun gets too strong. A cabana fixes that. We design cabanas for Fleming Island homes with a real roof, a ceiling fan and a spot for a bar or storage, finished to match the house.

Cabana Options for Fleming Island Homes

Roof matched to the house. So the cabana looks like it was always there.
A bar counter. A place to set drinks and snacks out of the sun.
A wood ceiling. A warm finish overhead with the fan set in it.
An outdoor TV. Power and mounting planned with the structure.

Cloudy days still bring sun exposure: the Skin Cancer Foundation says up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds.

Designing a cabana for Fleming Island

Fleming Island sits between the St. Johns River, Doctors Lake and Black Creek, so many lots have water views and wind exposure to design around. Fleming Island Plantation, Eagle Harbor and Pace Island each have their own review, so we confirm which one covers your home first. On fairway lots, columns are kept out of the main sightline to the course.

Keeping a cabana slightly away from the water's edge leaves room to walk and keeps splash off the furniture. Before we draw a cabana in Fleming Island, we check where the power comes from, the view from inside the house and room for chairs and a bar.

The Skin Cancer Foundation notes that a roof blocks direct sun while some UV still reflects in from bright surfaces such as concrete or dry sand.

Approvals and Permits in Fleming Island

Most of Fleming Island is in planned communities like Fleming Island Plantation and Pace Island, and their review boards look at additions, patio extensions and screened enclosures before work starts. Boards often ask about the cabana's height, its distance from the property lines and how the roof matches the house. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

The Clay County Building Division permits Fleming Island projects, with a Planning and Zoning pre-review first for additions and accessory structures. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Our Design-Build Process

Design session with Amany. Your project starts at our Jacksonville design studio, where you sit down with founder Amany Youssef and watch your cabana take shape live on screen in AutoCAD.
Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.
Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the Clay County permits.
Build. We can start most projects within two to four weeks. Our crews follow a build process we've refined over many projects, and you get daily updates.
The AY Advantage. You hold back the final 5% for seven days after completion, so we can take care of any touch-ups before you sign off.

Financing is available through Synchrony Bank, including 18 months of no-interest financing, and we have other financing options as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the price of a cabana in Fleming Island set?We price each project from its AutoCAD design. What goes inside (bar, fan, lighting, storage); electrical and any plumbing; the deck and walkways; the size and roof style; and engineering and permits all move the number. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum, and the itemized quote arrives within 24 hours of your consultation.

Do you build the pool too?No. We don't build pools. We design the cabana, the deck and the structures around the pool and work alongside your pool builder.

Can a cabana be open on all sides?Yes. Many are open, and some have a back wall or panels for privacy and storage.

Is Fleming Island its own city?No. Fleming Island is unincorporated Clay County, so building permits come from Clay County's Building Division rather than a city.

Will my Fleming Island HOA review a cabana?Usually, yes. In Fleming Island Plantation, the Board of Architectural Review approves additions, patio extensions and screened enclosures before work starts, and sub-associations can add their own guidelines. We put the package together and handle the submittal with you. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Do I need a permit for a cabana in Fleming Island?In most cases, yes. In Fleming Island, permits come from the Clay County Building Division. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections, and every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
