Enjoy the lovely backyard oasis featuring a private swimming pool. NO DIVING allowed and NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. The enclosure is surrounded by lush palm trees and tropical plants to bring the island vibe poolside. Two dining tables create space to enjoy meals outdoors. Grill your favorite steak, burgers or your fresh catch of the day. After a full day on the beach, head back to the house to relax by the swimming pool, get a ping pong tournament going or get a competitive game of corn hole started.
There are so many delicious restaurants in Fernandina. SaltLife and Sandbar are within walking distance. Play a round of putt-putt at the course between the restaurants. Enjoy a snowcone or ice cream on the stroll home. For your safety, we have exterior cameras at the front and back of the property.

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.

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!

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!

Listed photos are probably from twenty years ago. The property had roaches. The house next door is under construction and noisy. I would not recommend this duplex to anyone.

Great little beach house with fun decor. The beach is right across the street and so easy to walk to. Quick drive to restaurants in town or bike to the ones near by. Amy even provided beach chairs and towels. Very well stocked. Loved our time here!

The residence was really clean. The beach access was very accessible and proved to be easy for our 5 year-old. We loved the beach vibes! The location was in close proximity to a lot of great restaurants. I urge everyone to eat at Artes pizza. Located in town. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. There were plenty of supply, very clean and comfortable beds. The hosts were quick to respond to any pressing needs. You do hear the people staying upstairs and fortunately for us they were pretty quite.

We had a great stay at Amy’s place. The property was exceptionally clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. I loved the decor… even better than the pictures. Having the beach across the street was so convenient.
We enjoyed being able to use the grill, ping-pong table and corn hole set. Amy was quick to respond when we had questions.
We’re already thinking about another visit in October.

The unit was a perfect size for our family, 2 adults and 2 small kids. Great beach access and walking distance to putt putt and park. We enjoyed the patio each morning. We could hear the guests upstairs even though they weren’t being loud. Not a huge deal because we have kids. Also no visitors are allowed. Again, not a huge deal but we happen to have family in the area that we’re going to visit during the day and were not allowed. They did give us the opportunity to cancel but we chose not to. Overall a very good experience.

Amenities are as described/pictured with many thoughtful touches. Appliances are updated, beds are COMFY, shower water stays hot and the water pressure is strong! Host provides comfortable beach chairs and quality beach towels too. The shore is truly just a couple steps away and there's restaurants, putt putt, snow-cone cart, public park, and a beach shop within a short, comfortable walking distance. Only thing I'd note for drivers, the driveway is STEEP and if your vehicle is low like mine (Altima) you need to turn in via a right hand turn versus a left to avoid scraping. Initially google maps leads you in and has you make a left turn into the property...take a loop and come in the other way and you're good to go. Locals are super friendly and there are dozens of things to do that are just a short drive away. I'm already day-dreaming about returning soon for my next get away!!
