Beautiful house and location.
5.0 / 5.0
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.

This house was great for cooking meals inside and spending quality time with family in the spacious kitchen and living room area. The short walk to to the beach was a big plus. Guest Cottage was great to work with.

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!

Great House!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and beach access was great. I emailed to find out if there were beach chairs and they said no…but there were several there and a wagon to transport everything to the beach. We brought chairs and umbrellas anyway. A little confusion about checkout. VRBO app says 11am but the morning of check out I got an email that said check out was at 10am and included a list of things that needed to be done…Kim, the property manager, was helpful and we were able to get a little additional time in order to get everything done. Overall great house and great experience.

Beautiful Home
The home was beautiful! With updated everything super pleased. Our only issue was the air condition unit was broken and it caused us to have a very hot couple of nights. We contacted the property manager and they sent someone who confirmed it was broken, it was fixed and our last night there was amazinggg!

Amelia Island Gem
This is one of the cleanest properties our family has ever stayed in .The host's recommendations were spot on .The convenience of beach access as well as close by cafes made for a most relaxing and enjoyable stay. Cart rental, beach umbrella rental all made everyday a fun experience for adults and children.Highly recommend!

Great vacation home close to the beach
Everything was clean and updated. Perfect house for our group of 8 people (4 adults and 4 kids under 9). The host thought of everything from beach toys to towels to entertainment. It was a great house!

Very Diappointing Interaction due to Property Management
Initial listing was wrong called and provided a correction on bathroom being a 2 & 1/2 bath. Property Manager was confused by this. Also large house with limited paper product so bring your own. Very nice house just mismanaged. VRBO site said 11am checkout, book in house said 11 AM checkout as verified by multiple adult guest and day planned around that timing. Aggressive house keeper showed up and started ushering us out of house at 10AM (and hours early). Been using VRBO for close to 10 years now and this is my first negative experience or review. I would suggest property owners replace property manager as they are not proving good service.

Family vacation
We had a great time here! Perfect for our family of 5 plus 2 grandparents. Great location on Amelia island walkable to the beach and a short drive to everything else in a good “in the middle of it all” location.

Relaxing
We had the most relaxing, wonderful and stress free week at the house. The neighborhood is so peaceful and beautiful. The kids loved the beach and we loved that is was walking distance from the house. The house was amazing and spacious. We are already planning to return next year :)

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.

Fantastic home and fantastic management. Bonnie was a joy to work with and the home was a dream - super clean and new! Perfect for a family. Thank you doesn't seem enough, but we are very grateful this home is available while we wait on our home to be built.

5 minute walk to the beach
Beautiful beach house provided a very comfortable and enjoyable stay for my extended family (3 couples, 2 kids). Fully stocked with everything you might need for the beach: inner tubes, boogie boards, towels, umbrellas, and wagons to carry it all with you. Very large washer/dryer makes it super easy to do laundry.

Perfect getaway
Had a great stay at this beautiful property. This home was exactly as it appeared online. There was plenty of space and privacy for everyone. We loved the comfortable beds and great kitchen with everything we needed for nights we cooked in.
Only a short walk to the beach and a great beach bar restaurant right around the corner in walking distance.
I highly recommend this property. The only issue we had was the sensitive microwave but once we got the hang of it was not a big deal!

Pleasantly Surprised!
We did not expect the house to be so large, nor the beach to be so close! There was so much room to spread out for us 6 adults. The kitchen was a dream to cook in and it was nice to have some paper products and soaps there when we arrived. We loved having extra beach chairs and toys in the garage along with beach bags and towels to use if we needed them. The front porch was lovely to sit on in the morning with a cup of coffee. The beds were super comfortable and the master bath was so luxurious. We had 3 cars and the parking was ample because of the garage. Our contact, Bonnie, was a great communicator. I highly recommend this property!

Fantastic location 3 min walk to pristine beach!
From start to finish this was an amazing experience. The house was immaculate and well appointed. It was so nice being less than five minutes to the beach. The house is very updated with additional beach toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc. The check in process was so simple. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quick rest on a beautiful pristine area of Amelia Island.

Wonderful Vacation
We had a fantastic week at Amelia Island! The home was clean, beautifully decorated and came with everything we needed for our beach trip. They went above and beyond with little touches like beach bags and towels at the entryway to a starter pack of laundry detergent and soap. The beach was a short walk across the street and the town is so charming. Our only complaint was the finicky microwave.

Delightful stay on Amelia Island
We had a wonderful stay, great location on Amelia Island. A short walk to the beach, a huge gorgeous house, incredibly high ceilings and brand new everything. The only thing the house is missing is outdoor space to gather and eat, but overall a fantastic property.

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!

Awesome Home!!
This was our first time coming to Amelia Island and the nicest beach house we’ve ever stayed in! You can tell a lot of thought was put into building this beautiful home, very impressive. I highly recommend staying here if you’re thinking of visiting Amelia. The beach is a very short walk if you can use the gated walkway that is part of the subdivision. We had a lot to carry to the beach and it was a very easy walk. If I can give any advice about our stay it would’ve been nice to have a little more instruction on trash pickup and how to access the beach. I had to ask one of the neighbors if we could use the gated walkway to the beach due to the private property sign next to the walkway. Anyone staying here can use it. We are already looking forward to our next trip down!
