INDIAN RIVER LODGING FIELD GUIDE
Cabin 1: Courtyard Calm and Direct River Access at Fay Martin River Resort
One-bedroom cabin that sleeps four with a private boat slip, courtyard-facing grounds, and on-site pontoon rentals — this guide lays out what to expect and how to plan your stay.
Cabin 1: Courtyard Calm and Direct River Access at Fay Martin River Resort.
Set on 2 ½ acres of manicured grounds, Cabin 1 is one of seven cozy units at Fay Martin River Resort in Indian River. The property balances quiet courtyard space—spring-fed ponds, a fire pit, swing set and room for yard games—with direct river amenities: each cabin is assigned a private boat slip and guests can rent pontoons, while an on-site Tiki Bar offers a low-key gathering spot after a day on the water.

Manicured courtyard and shared fireside space
Cabins are arranged around a landscaped courtyard that features spring-fed ponds, a central fire pit, a swing set and open lawn for yard games; the units sit roughly 300 feet off the riverfront and face this communal space.
One-bedroom units with full kitchens and essentials
Each cabin includes a full kitchen with microwave and coffee pot, air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, fresh linens and towels, and a starter set of essentials. Cabins also have their own gas grill and picnic table for cookouts.
Private boat slip and easy access to pontoons
What sets the resort apart is that each cabin is assigned one boat slip on the river; daily pontoon rentals are available for guests who want to explore the water, and a Tiki Bar provides a riverside hangout.
