Historic downtown Fernandina (covering a 50-block area) is full of charm, gas lanterns, and 19th buildings. Even some cobblestones. And the shrimp boats which have defined our heritage for hundreds of years are still here and serving us daily. Side by side with the charter boats (fishing and sightseeing excursion opportunities abound). There are even pelicans at the right time of year. The beaches aren't crowded. And traffic is a non-issue. Heaven!

Delightful Rest

I spent the full month of October at the condo. You could not ask for a cleaner, more comfortable, better located and equipped home away from home. The condo was even nicer than promised in the pictures and advertisement. Miss Deborah, the owner, is kind, funny, and always available to help. You will want to take her home! The condo was lovely and immediately felt like home. The beach is only a short walk, the pool and tennis courts a hop and a skip away.The whole complex is pet and child friendly. It was a pleasure staying at Miss Deborah's, and so hard to leave. I hope to be there again, soon!

Holiday Weekend Getaway

A last minute decision was made to take a holiday getaway Thanksgiving weekend, and G2 was the perfect spot!! The decription of the property in this listing was excellent, and working with Deborah was exceptional!! She is willing to go above and beyond to make your stay everything you hoped it would be. The townhouse was clean, inviting, amazingly accommodating, and provided everything you could possibly need to feel right at home. A wonderful selection of brochures, maps, recommendations, and personalized tips were provided to help familiarize yourself with the area immediately. We can't say enough about the beautiful beaches (perfect for long, tranquil walks), the historical parks (transporting you back in time), the friendly seaside port (offering unique shops and friendly local service), and the delicious array of casual OR fine dining - all just a short walk, or drive, away! And when you aren't out exploring this beautiful area, there is a nice selection of historical (and present day!) reading selections, games, and puzzles graciously provided by the owner. We felt right at home, and truly had a hard time departing!
Owner response:Thank you, thank you! You have me walking on air this morning. I especially appreciate your marvelous choice words about our beaches, the historical parks, the friendly seaside port and the delicious array of dining opportunities. Deborah

Perfect Condo for the greatest beach!

Our family of 4, just stayed at G2 this past July 4th week. The condo is prefect! We had everthing we needed. Having the two bedroom upstairs was ideal. We could nap the kids and not worry about waking them up. The condo is decorated adorable and comfortable. Working with Deborah has been terrific. My husband is a beach snub and Deborah was so great to send me pictures of the beach and sand. The walk to the beach was just minutes from the condo. The playground was 30 seconds from the front door and is shaded. My kids enjoyed playing there everyday. We did go to the pool once and it's very clean and quite nice. I am booking next summer vacation with Deborah at G2. I thoroughly recommend this condo and Fernandina Beach, FL is a terrific spot. You can't go wrong!

Wonderful location

My husband & two adult daughters just spent a week at this location and I just have to say that we all had a most wonderful time. The condo was very clean and very comfortable and we absolutely loved it. Our dealings with Debora showed that she is a warm and caring person (with a good sense of humor) and is willing to do whatever it takes to make you happy. We took a short walk to the beach to watch the beautiful sunrises and take a nice swim. There were some very good resturants close by also and we certainly enjoyed the shopping. We would most definately would rent this location from her again and I'm sure we will.

We have been coming to stay at G-2 for four years in a row. We are very glad we found it in the first place and we never had the need to look for another place. It has everything one needs for an enjoyable vacation: excellent location, spacious bedrooms, cozy furniture and, most important, thoughtful and pleasant owner. Thank you Deborah! We will be back next year.

WOW...This was one of the best places I have stayed in a long time! The unit was just as described and looked exactly like the pictures, only better in person. The location was awesome, very quiet, only about a block to the beach (with great shark tooth hunting) and a few blocks to get something to eat... almost no need for a car other than to view all the splendors that the island has to offer! The pool on the property was well maintained and there is a playground and pond with some resident turtles that the kids really enjoyed! Deb was great to work with, this was a last minute rental and everything went very smoothly... we even had to extend the reservation (thank goodness it was still available) and she made it as easy as possible! Thanks again for the great stay! The next time we're in Fernandina Beach we will definately be staying here! :)

My new husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clean and all the basic necessities were there including soaps, pots and pans, laundry detergent, towels, etc. They even left us a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator as a congratulations gift. The living room furniture was very comfortable as well as the bed in the master bedroom. There were also plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas in the downstairs closet as well as a small cooler. Mrs. Powers was very nice and called to let us know that someone from maintenance would be coming by so that we wouldn't be surprised. We definitely recommend renting this residence or others from Mrs. Powers and will hopefully be able to stay here in the future!

Our family of 6 stayed here for my sister's wedding this past weekend. It was just perfect. Nice amount of room. Great balcony/deck. Nice pool in complex. Short walk to great beach. Close to all downtown Fernandina beach activities. Deb was a pleasure to deal with, very accomodating. Loved that there were few knick knacks, just room for all our things.

My family stayed at G2 for the week of July 4th. Everything was just as described by Deb. Loved emailing and talking with Deb before, during, and after our stay. She is very helpful, and the townhouse was very comfortable and clean. My family had a blast at the beach, can not wait till next summer!! Take care Deb.
