Best reunion stay! We loved the property, all 7of us. The house was clean and well stocked, pool was a great gathering place, with chase lounges. Also, beach chairs provided to sit by ocean. The upstairs rental was perfect for our big meals and sitting on the porch watching the waves. Would definitely book again.
This place was perfect for a two day vacation with the family. The place had everything you needed, from beach chairs, towels and game accessories. Would definitely stay again.
Very comfortable and clean. Easy Beach Access. Enjoyed time around pool. Temperature was just right to swim. It was a great place to experience Fernandina Beach.
Great location. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had and worked very hard to make our weekend a great experience. Upgrades to the property are being made as we speak to make our next stay even more enjoyable. Owner very receptive to feedback and suggestions.
Amy is an amazing host with such a nice property. My family has stayed here 2 years in a row. It is a nice, clean and cozy place to stay! And its directly across from the beach!
Enjoyable stay for a large group. The property was comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Even though it was cold we were able to use the heated pool. The beach was just a short walk. There were many nice restaurants just a short drive to get to. The host was friendly and highly responsive.
The house was the perfect getaway with amazing views. The host - Amy, was very accommodating and flexible. We had a great time with our family. It was nice having a full kitchen and supplies that every household uses on an everyday basis. The pool was perfect!
This house, amenities and area … it was perfect. Waking up in the morning sitting on the porch having a cup of coffee with your fur babies and looking at the beach was breathtaking. Again, thank you.
The pool, and close proximity to the beach with little view obstruction was a great combo. everything was clean, updated, and well-appointed. having both units each with its own kitchen and fridge was great. communication was easy responsive. location was perfect for quick trips to downtown, Fort Clinch, parks, etc. highly recommended.
Love the location. From porch on 2nd floor, had nice view of ocean even though was not ocean front. Love the beach access which was right across the street. Nice path right to the beach. Pool was immaculate and perfect temp. Definitely will return.
We had a great time on Amelia island and the host made us feel like family. Amy made sure everything was perfect with our stay and checked on us to make sure we got in ok. We had a ton of laughs, played Jax and chilled in the pool... Just what we needed... We would love to book this again!
Check in Process: The check in process was amazing. You receive the code right before arrival and you walk right in. We had no issues.Communication with property manager: The communication was amazing. We had a few questions along the way, and received a response almost immediately. We did have an issue with the ac upon arrival, but we had someone at the house within 30 minutes. Location of Home: The location is extremely close to the resturants and shops in downtown. Grocery stores and the Dollar General are less than 10 minutes away. Best of all, you are right across from the beach! You are able to look at the ocean from your bedroom or livingroom while relaxing.Overall the home was perfect for our family. There is an upstairs and downstairs that is separated. Both the upstairs and downstairs have full kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. They are fully stocked and provide you everything you need including utensils, plates, cooking supplies, towels, etc. The outside of the house was under renovation, but the inside was what mattered the most. The pool outside was the most used area and probably the best part of the house. It is surrounded by a fence, therefore we had plenty of privacy. It was a heated pool, so my family really loved that! I highly recommend staying here!
The proximity to the beach and view of the ocean is a HUGE win for this property. Open the curtain in the bedroom and the living room and you have a terrific view of the sea. There is a small balcony on which you can sit and enjoy. In the back of the house there is a lovely pool surrounded with nice landscaping and comfy loungers.
The beds are quite comfy and the decor is eclectic and fun. There were nice amenities in the small, but sufficient kitchen. Large TVs were great for watching movies in the living room or larger bedroom.
The appearance of the home could use a facelift. A bit tired and unkempt, which was deceiving since inside was quite lovely. One update for inside would be to update the floors as they seem to be raising. There was a good bit of noise due to construction next door that soured the relaxing moments by the pool or during the day, but that’s uncontrollable.
Any time I reached out with a question we got a friendly, quick response. Helpful, informative and nice. We did have an uninvited guest (pest” that somehow survived the exterminator treatment. We shared Thai info and had a very prompt reply and the issue was addressed. Florida has a fair share of these creepy crawlers, unfortunately.
Having the two separate living areas worked very well for our family. The direct beach access was awesome. Owner was a pleasure to work with and we hope to return next summer.
We had a wonderful stay! The host was super responsive to any questions we asked. The pool was great to hang out by and catch up. You couldn't ask for a better location! Super easy to access the beach and convenient to historic downtown Fernandina!
We rented both upstairs and downstairs for our stay. Plenty of room for the 6 of us gals! The pool was amazing and we spent most of our time there. Easy walk to the beach as well. 7-10 min drive to dining and shopping. The hostess, Amy, was absolutely amazing and very accommodating. We would definitely stay again.
My family loved this house! We had a blast! The pool was so much fun! Also, having that wonderful convenient access to the beach was amazing. It made it super easy for the kiddos to come to the house for a nap.You will love communicating with Amy. She really wants you to have a good time. Very close to downtown area as well. We had a wonderful stay.
