Year Purchased: 2003

Why the Owner Chose Amelia Island Plantation

We have been fortunate to be able to explore, travel and visit resorts in many parts of the world. We considered home purchases in several of these, but selected Amelia Island Plantation for its combination of unique natural beauty, convenience, safety, and wonderful resort amenties. The stunning beach, tennis courts, golf, biking and walking trails, and the close-by charming town of Fernandina Beach with wonderful eateries, art galleries, and friendliness just make for a wonderful vacation destination.

The Unique Benefits at this House

Our home has a very special feel to it of warmth and tranquility. We put great effort into the selection of fabrics, art, and furniture to produce a comfortable home of simple pleasures. It is unassuming, but the over 100 year old heart of pine floors (we spent several years searching for the wood!) is just indicative of the care we have put into the home. Located on a cul-de-sac, both the inside and outside environment are tranquil, at night you can sit on the back decks and hear the roar of the ocean just 0.5 miles away, but you are never in the roar of the crowds as in the oceanside condos and homes here.

Rhonda and I are university faculty members in the planning, design and construction areas. We love renovating and decorating houses, and have put great care and thoughtfulness into this home. Our five children have spent wonderful summers and holidays here and truly consider it their second, but most favorite home. We are honest and responsible and take take great joy in hosting our visitors many of whom continue to return year after year. We hope you will, also.
Warmly,
Jay and Rhonda

    • We just returned from two weeks on Amelia - and from our home away from home. The "cottage" has become so familiar now that we just settle in immediately. This time we had our children and our children's children for part of the time. Our 14 month old granddaughter "took off" for the first time - wandering all over the halls. We will always remember her first steps there! Everything was as comfortable as ever and the weather was glorious as always. Due to all the rain this year - the forest was phenomenally lush and green - a true jungle. Reminding us how little it would take for nature to reclaim this patch of paradise. Thanks to Jay and Rhonda for gently pushing the jungle back and keeping the cottage set and ready for all of us lazy beachcombers!

    • I had a great time at Amelia. We were there for a convention so part of our trip was work. Everything was super convenient including the shuttle to the center each day. The house has all we needed and more. Enjoyed the bikes and all the other ammenities. Jay was very pleasant to work with. Thanks so much for everything.

    • We really enjoyed our stay at your home. We love Amelia Island, and have been many times before, but always stayed at the hotel. The house was perfect for my toddler to have room to run around, and no stairs to deal with. All of the toys in the garage really kept him busy. We enjoyed the privacy and full kitchen as well. We hope to stay here again next summer because it was just lovely.

    • We had two weeks of paradise anchored by your wonderful house. Everyday was a glorious beach day with more to do than we could keep up with. Swimming, beachcombing, biking, boating etc. etc. We enjoyed your lovely house so much that we felt torn to leave but the beach called and upon return we could cook lovely meals, laze away on the porches or have a "serious" ping pong" match. The house was well equipped, entirely charming and inviting and impeccably clean. I loved getting up earlier than the rest of the clan and having my coffee on the deck and listening to the birds. A Cooper's Hawk walked by just under my feet and didn't even know I was there. The quiet forest primeval, the cushy comfort of the cottage, and the proximity of the wide open Atlantic - what more could one want. Thanks for a terrific vacation - we will be back!

    • From the moment we walked in, we were home! Groceries were all we needed. Early morning coffee on the deck, sitting with feet on the railing in Adirondack chairs, relaxed, listening to the birds calling to each other, watching them flit from branch to branch -- a great way to start one's day. Louis, Annette and the boys, as well as their Auntie Sarah, took off for the beach each day on the bikes, while Pop Pop relaxed, read, watched the game, took long walks, had lunch at the Ritz with Nana Banana. PopPop took everyone to their favorite luncheon spot, Firehouse Subs, for some mouth-burning specialities. Your kitchen was great and we prepared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. We were so comfortable, we set around the table after dinner, played word cames and laughed ourselves silly. Sarah was "surprised" with a dinner/birthday party by nephews Jared and Jacob. We loved our home away from home. You have thought of everything. Nature was encouraged to do and be her most beautiful. What humanity is capable of creating when we work with nature is evident there -- the marshes, the live oak hammocks, the homes nestled in amongst the live oak forest, the beaches (yes, I did make it to the beach), were greatly appreciated by us all. We hope to come back next year.

    • Our family had a great time in this lovely home. We enjoyed making and eating family meals (kitchen had everything we needed), watching movies at night, and walking/biking to the beach. We got a lot of use out of everything, and it was a lovely vacation for everyone. Thanks!

    • We Had a great time. The weather was beautiful. The house was beautiful and clean and had all the amenities that we needed. We enjoyed the bikes and the ping-pong table. Everything was easy to get to and the kids could get around without us having to bring them everywhere. The Plantation is a beautiful place and it is on our list of favorite vacation places. We enjoyed our stay and the weather was beautiful. Thanks Jay for letting us stay in your wonderful home.

    • Our two and four-year-old grandchildren loved playing on your screened porch and we loved relaxing in the living room while watching them. There were so many things for them to do on the Plantation that we were busy every moment that they weren't sleeping.

    • We had the best time, weather perfect and the house and all the ammenities were wonderful! Location, pool, beach, restaurants, shopping what more could you ask for! The owner was great and a gem to work with. Would definitely recommend and will be back for another visit! Thanks Jay!
