Adorable beach house just minutes away from the ocean

We had a great time staying here in Fernandina Beach! The house is so close to the beach, a very short walk even with kids and carrying all the beach stuff. You can spot many rabbits and tortoises along the way. The beach is wide open with lots of opportunity for shelling. We loved the outdoor shower to rinse off sand after our beach trips. During our visit, we enjoyed running on the Amelia River to Sea Trail and walking through Egan's Creek Greenway. We enjoyed dinner out on the water at The Salty Pelican and Down Under and also near the beach at The Surf. We got ice cream at DeNucci's and played putt putt at Island Falls Golf. We had a great time kayaking on Lofton Creek with Amelia Island Kayak. Fernandina is a very chill, quiet beach experience, perfect for families.

Wonderful House, Perfect Location

Everything the owner describes about this house is 100% accurate!! Very short walk to the beach. Owner was so very kind enough to allow us to use his boards, chairs, etc. This was our very first time to Amelia Island and we loved it! We will definitely be back and will stay here again!!

Nice little house close to beach!

Easy walk to the beach! Beach access is so close. Adults and kids loved having all the beach boards and activities to take to play in the water. Communication with owner was great. He was a nice and friendly guy who took care of whatever we needed. Would stay again. House is a bit dated but clean. Mostly puzzles in the game closet. Kitchen was stocked well!

Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Amelia Island. The owner was extremely friendly and always available to answer questions. This house was one of the cleanest properties we have stayed in, I noticed it as soon as we walked in the door. It is also in an excellent location, with a very “private beach”, and super short, easy walk to the beach. It was also fun to see the bunnies in the sand dunes when we went for a walk on the beach in the mornings. We would highly recommend this property and Amelia Island to anyone!!

Dream Vacation for Little Boys!

My husband and I took our four little boys to Amelia Island and chose this house because of the nice yard and close proximity to the beach. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Our two oldest boys (ages 8 and 6) LOVED finding anole lizards. The beach was so spacious with not a lot of other people at this beach access and the walk wasn’t long (5 mins with kids). There were many shells to pick up. The house was very close to grocery stores and restaurants (5 mins). The Walmart is a regular Walmart though. Not super center. So plan to get what you can at Walmart and your produce at Publix. We loved visiting Fort Clinch State Park. We went a couple times and did the short hike with all of our boys. We saw an armadillo and a tortoise in the park. Beautiful pictures of our family we got here. Our favorite restaurant was Salt Life. We’d love to come back and stay at this house again in the future. The boys have raved and raved about the selection of tv shows and movies on the tvs at the house. My four year old has begged to go back just to watch the beach house tv!

You will love it!

You will love this house! Things we especially appreciated- 1.) It is very close walk to beach access- it is a two minute walk - We timed it.. 2) The beach is not crowded at all at this beach access. 3) This house has plenty of beach gear- several beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys so you don’t have to worry about bringing all that. 4) The house is close to grocery stores and restaurants. 5) The house is cute, clean, and cozy. 6) Mike (the owner) is very nice and attentive to your needs. We had a wonderful stay! 😊

Wonderful beach getaway!

This cute little cottage is an excellent value. The owners communicate very well and have provided so many extras to make vacationing easier. They do not provide towels, as some have pointed out, but the abundance of beach gear is better in my opinion. Many nice beach chairs, boogie boards and even a paddle board! I’d much rather have these items supplied than towels! It was no big deal to bring some towels. There is even a washer and dryer so you can launder them if needed. There is lots of room for a large family to spread out and and everyone have space. The beach is just gorgeous and not crowded at all. We went every single day! The historic downtown area was fun to explore and has many little art studios that we just loved! This was by far our best family vacation and we will definitely be back!

Beautiful and virtually private beach vacation

Wonderful, clean, and spacious home very close/easy access to beach (5 min. walk). Mike and Lisa were great hosts checking on us and making delicious restaurant recommendations… Sliders and Salt Life. Plus we found 5 sharks teeth on the beach! Also, historic downtown Fernandina and Ft. Clinch were bonus experiences our whole family enjoyed!

Great vacation spot

We loved the house and the location. Simple walk to the beach and great bike riding. Egans creek parkway was such a fun little system of trails. Fort Clinch was also very cool. Outdoor shower was the best. We never took any showers inside. We’ll be back next year! Thanks Mike

Perfect Cottage Close to the Beach

The hosts Mike and Lisa welcomed me to the property with a personal phone call to make sure we had everything we needed. They made our stay awesome with helpful information about finding shark teeth on the beach (we found three!) and have everything at the house to enjoy time at the beach including chairs, boogie boards, and even a SUP! The house itself is a charming cottage that’s perfect for a family. With two bedrooms upstairs and the master on the main level we all had plenty of space. The kitchen is small but we’ll stocked and the washer and dryer were so nice to have. We’d come home from the beach and run a load every day so we could do it again the next day. Mike and Lisa checked in again during our stay to make sure everything was meeting our expectations. All around the house is perfect! I’d definitely rent again!

Wonderful location

This was our first time on Amelia Island and we were very impressed with the island and location of the home. It's just a short walk to the beach. The area of the beach is not crowded at all, which is a bonus. There are very nice bike trails nearby that you ride your bike from the house to. The house is very clean, so the cleaning crew does a great job. Mike is great with communications. Just a short drive to the historic district. An overall excellent stay. We will back again

Great property, location and host

Spacious house with three bedrooms that is perfect for families. Great, communicative host. Very reasonably priced for the location, space, and decor. Really nice main floor with open living room and kitchen. Lots of beds in three bedrooms. Indoor shower enclosures are very dated but we mostly used the outdoor shower which is lovely and has hot water! One oddity is no towels which is a bummer when you are flying in and don’t want to pack extra luggage (this wasn’t a cleaner error, they just don’t provide towels; also no coffee, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc.) But for the price and location you can’t beat it. The neighborhood is very quiet and the house has a lovely front porch where we ate lunch outside. It’s just 1.5 blocks to the beach access. Keyless entry was nice as we didn’t have to haul keys around. All in all, great value. We will be back!

Wonderful home, location and host!

This was our first time to Fernandina Beach/Amelia Island and our family loved every day of our visit. The house was furnished exactly as the pictures depict, very clean and all the necessary amenities. Easy walk to the beach (5 min) and not overly crowded. Kids loved chasing the lizards around the house. The outside shower is a great addition to remove sand. The availability to use the wave boards/skim boards/surf boards/sand toys/beach chairs made packing a lot easier. We saw lots of wildlife on our visit while bike riding to Fort Clinch, visiting Cumberland Island, and eating dinner down by the Fernandina Historic District. So much more to do and see that we will definitely be coming back! Mike kept in contact from the beginning to the end of our vacation to ensure we had everything we needed in the home. We had a wonderful time! Thanks Mike and Lisa for sharing your home! Scott
