About this property

Entire place

Cottage by the Sea features front row views of the beautiful beach and Atlantic Ocean.

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway in Fernandina Beach. The location to the beach starts at the bottom of the deck steps. Wiggle your toes into the sand and feel the grounding taking place within your body as you relax and breathe in the salty air. Take a long stroll along the beach and steal a treasure or two from the ocean's bountiful supply as a reminder of your visit to this beautiful island.

Perfect getaway

My friend and I come each year to the cottage for a relaxing getaway, and we’re about to book our third stay! The interior is spotless and well appointed, and it’s just steps away from the ocean. We only left one time during our week stay! Can’t wait to go back.

Christmas 2024

It was a cozy cottage and it was a perfect getaway. We were able to immediately put our toes in the sand after stepping off the porch and do easy bike rides to ft clinch and egans greenway. It’s a quick drive to the center of Fernandina or Jacksonville. It was a wonderful week.

Spectacular Sunrises

This Beach Cottage is as pictured, wonderfully comfortable, perfect for two couples. everything we needed was provided in quantity and quality from linens and towels to appliances and hot water. We live in Fernandina but a long weekend living on the beach with beautiful sunrises is an extra special treat. Our land locked friends who joined us were equally impressed. Definitely on our "wish to return" list. Thank you Amy for taking good care of us

Wow!! What a great place!

Wow! We loved this place! Nice ocean views from the deck or the living room; which has plenty of windows and a nice big sliding glass door. A few steps to the beach which was excellent! Great beach for walking, bike riding, tanning, or swimming.A short bike ride to Fort Clinch which we definitely took advantage of. A short car ride to downtown Fernandina where most of the shops and restaurants are. The property is clean, recently refurbished, well stocked, and Amy was very attentive and easy to get in touch with! The bed was comfy and the bathrooms were clean and bright!Everything was as it should be. Perfect set up for my wife and I. We were very pleased and look forward to coming back!!
