Definitely a Repeat Property

Having stayed in another VRBO property right next to this one as it was being built I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it listed and available during our time in Fernandina. Very nicely done, house is beautiful. Will be adding to my 1st choice list for the next time around.

Great location

Second time here and love the layout and location. Super easy rental and check-in process. Some of the walls had scuff marks that need to be painted or cleaned. Two things to note: Mattresses are not very comfortable and the blinds in the bedrooms are very sheer so street lights, car lights, sunrise, etc. still come in when trying to sleep.

Wonderful

This is our third year staying in this home. We love it even more every time we stay. Steps away from the beach and within minutes of amazing restaurants. The air wasn’t working well our first night, so I messaged them the next morning and not only got a quick response but she told me that they had already contacted the air conditioning guy and we were next on his list. Great communication and amazing stay!

Easy beachy!

The house was very updated, modern, yet still comfy cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with all you need for our culinary endeavors, which were more than normal because of the pandemic. Lots of beach equipment was stored in the garage for our use. The beach access was convenient with just a short walk. Beaches weren't too crowded which was great. My only gripes would be the quirky microwave. 5 Stars!
