We have an island camp on piers with a fireplace. For heat we have a Mitsubishi mini split and a small wood stove inside the fireplace. There is a flex stainless steel chimney liner for the stove and a sealed plate on top to prevent heat loss.
The mini split provides most of the spring and fall heat as well as summer A/C. The thermostat can be controlled via internet so we can turn on heat or A/C in advance. The wood stove helps in warm-up from a cold start.
