Great Condo

We stayed at this condo in October and were very satisfied with our stay. Everything was as advertised, clean, well equipped and the sunrises were fantastic. If you like to surf fish, then you are literally a two minute walk from the beach. Great area for bicycling and only a 5 minute ride from Ft. Clinch State Park (note: $2.00 admission per biker). Owner is a pleasure to do business with and was very timely and helpful in answering questions. I highly recommend this unit.

On the Beach!

This condo was in the perfect location. I have always wanted to stay on the beach, to be able to walk out my door and hear the waves (so much better than a CD!). The location of this condo on the second floor is perfect! There is light in the unit all day, it's steps down a boardwalk to the beach! Early mornings sometimes fogged up, but even then the sun seeping through the clouds made for an extraordinary vista. The unit was well-equipped--anything you could want in the kitchen, ample seating space, comfortable beds, a great deck. Tucked in closets were various amenities to make the stay more enjoyable including beach chairs and towels. Triple sliding glass doors let light in the unit and opened to the panorama of sand, salt water and sky. The deck was another perfect place to enjoy it all while the design of the deck also allowed for privacy. The downtown of Fernandina Beach had so much to recommend it, and even though I was there almost three weeks, I did not begin to discover all of its delights! Regina was responsive to all of my questions before my arrival and during my stay! This condo is a great vacation destination!

We had NO disappointments in this wonderful oceanfront condo, even better than I anticipated. Needing some down time this was the perfect place to read, sun, relax. The beach access is right For lunch we enjoyed The Happy Tomato, dinners Gennaro's, Sliders, Moon River Pizza. Least favorite restaurants would be the Crab Shack or Trap downtown or Barbara Jeans. We love Fernandina Beach and can't wait to return to this wonderful place. I have already made a recommendation to a friend to make their plans at this condo.

Best Family Beach Vacation Location Ever!

Review Submitted 09/14/11

My husband and I took our two young daughters to the beach during the second week of August. It was absolutely perfect! The condo was so adequately stocked, we didn't have to worry with unpacking many of our beach items and kitchen provisions. Regina was extremely easy to work with and so hospitable and thoughtful. We fell in love with Fernandina! We'll definitely be back!

2 weeks in paradise

Review Submitted 08/06/11

My husband and I, along with our teenage son and his good friend, enjoyed 2 weeks in this lovely condo in July 2011. The unit was delightful -- very very clean, with an especially well-equipped kitchen (even with spices and some "welcome" snacks on our arrival!), and complete with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas and toys for us to use, all in excellent condition. We visit the beach every year, and this is our favorite condo so far. The outdoor porch has a terrific view of the beach, and is shaded for much of the day. The owner was easy to work with, and very quick with communication. We're sure to be back.

This condo is the perfect get away from it all place to be! Clean, spacious and right on the beach. The deck overlooking the water was my favorite place. It was a great girls weekend. thank you, Regina for sharing your lovely condo.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at this condo. It was very clean and comfortable (including the beds!). One great feature is being able to walk right from the balcony, down the steps and onto the beach. All beach toys were provided for the kids and we didn't have to buy anything and bother with packing and carrying toys. We enjoyed Downtown Fernandina and ate dinner there every night (it is just a few miles from the condo). If you have time be sure to take the 2 hour boat tour of Cumberland Island and also visit Fort Clinch. Regina answered all of my questions promptly and we would love to return in the future.

Great Place To Stay

Review Submitted 08/25/10

My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Fernandina Beach. We could not have picked a more perfect place to stay. Everything about the condo was wonderful !! Regina provides everything you could possibly need for a beach trip. The beach view was great from inside the condo and from the deck. The condo is clean and furnished very nicely with a true beach feel. The kitchen has every appliance and all of the cooking utensils you can dream of. The location could not have been better. There are several good restaurant close by and it is only a short drive to historic downtown. Downtown is a really fun place to hang out in the evenings and to shop. Make sure you set time aside to visit the many unique shops and don't miss Hunt's Art & Artifacts Gallery. We met the owner and she gave us a lot of good tips on where to eat and which places had the best live music. My husbands favorite place to eat was Slider's Seaside Grill and mine was the Marina Restaurant and we both enjoyed Sandy Bottoms Beach Bar and Grill. Both Sandy's and Sliders have great beach views from the outdoor dining areas. All in all it was a great trip and it all started with the perfect condo !! It was our first trip to Fernandina Beach but it will not be our last !!!

Most relaxing and enjoyable time we've had in Fernandina Beach!!

Review Submitted 07/20/10

This condo was so peaceful and perfect. Regina did a great job at listing this condo, but as beautiful as the photos are- they can't do it justice. The floorplan is ideal and the place is very well kept and comfortable. We wanted for nothing during our stay there and had such a great time. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and we intend to return next year as well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, relaxing, and private place to spend vacation. If you like to get out, it's a stone's throw away from Fort Clinch which is fun for people of all ages. Downtown has plenty to offer in shopping, eating, and just absorbing the beach life. Always make a stop at Fernandina's Fantastic Fudge....you won't regret it! For what it's worth, I'm very deliberate in selecting places to stay on vacations, business, etc. I spent 3 weeks deciding on this condo among all the others available. So, save yourself the time of searching and enjoy FB. It's where my wife and I grew up and you'll feel right at home,too.

My family and I just returned from our first, fabulous trip to Amelia Island and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay than at Regina's condo. It is absolutely as beautiful and well-appointed as the pictures and description state. It was a treat to walk out on to the deck and view the sunrise every morning while watching the waves gently roll in to the shore. The kitchen has more appliances than my own here at home! And you won't need to pack a single beach item except your bathing suit - it's all at the condo waiting for you! The location is absolutely perfect to enjoy all that Amelia has to offer - and that is plenty. We toured the fort at Clinch State Park, took a wonderful boat ride over to Cumberland Island where we saw wild horses and went horseback riding on the beach (our favorite!). We also did plenty of shopping, beach walking and shell collecting - and all this within easy walking and/or driving distance from the condo. Thank again Regina! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Amelia Island!

Beautiful beachfront vacation home

Review Submitted 05/10/10

My sister, cousin, friend and I rented the condo for our annual "Girls' Week Away" in May. We based our decision to rent this condo on the pictures posted, the description, and the location. We were not disappointed. The condo was clean, beautifully appointed and well equipped. Regina was a dream to deal with and made sure we had everything we needed to make our vacation perfect. We had every beach article one could EVER need for a beach vacation: sand toys, beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and coolers. All we needed were our clothes. The condo was very close in proximity to all the shopping and eateries. We even got to attend the Shrimp Festival in Fernandina Beach. We are planning to return next year!

Fernandina Beach

Review Submitted 05/08/10

The unit was beautiful and very well appointed, as indicated in the web pictures. Regina, the owner, was very accomodating and wonderful to work with.The views were great and the covered porch may the stay out doors that much more enjoyable. The unit is an easy walk to the beach and a short ride from downtown and the grocery stores. We met some nice visitors staying in the other units including 2 terriers which loved the water and the runs on the beach.We will consider this our first choice for a return visit to Fernindina.

We had a wonderfully relaxing week at this condo. It was everything we expected, and more, well-stocked and maintained, clean, and very attractive. Fernandina Beach has a lovely, quaint historical area easily accessed, and an interesting state park with the old fort. Restaurants were many, with very nice courtyards to enjoy. The owner was prompt, professional and considerate. We highly recommend this condo and this area. In fact, we have already recommended it to several people. We hope to return someday!

What a wonderful place to stay! The pictures are completely accurate, and the view is magnificent. Our 1st day there was a double rainbow over the ocean, and our last night we were treated to a lightning display. Awesome! The condo is well supplied, clean, and very comfortable. We hope to return some day and definitely recommend it.

My mother, sister and I were in your condo while Tropical Storm Fay visited Florida. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Faye was quite exciting! I have never seen a condo so fully equipped as yours. The beach was just outside the door and the shopping was also very close. Hopefully we will be able to visit again soon!

We completely agree with the 1st guest comment. We recently returned from a week's vacation at Fernandina Beach. This condo was nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable for our family to stay in. The view is the best we've ever had on a beach stay. Beach access is as easy as it looks in the pictures. The area was quiet and peaceful, but you could be anywhere you'd like in a matter of minutes. We definetly hope to return in the future.

We had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect. We will defintely be back. Regina was a pleasure to work with and made the rental process very painless. This condo would be a great getaway for familes or couples.
