The quartzite island has seating for four.

On the other side of the pantry is an enclosed screened in porch with comfy seating where you can relax and enjoy the privacy of the enclosed, gated back yard.
Adjacent to the open family room, there are two bedrooms separated by a bathroom. The first bedroom has a stylish black-cane queen sized bed along with a Victorian dresser. The second bedroom boasts a king-sized bed along with a top-of-the-line Tempur-Pedic mattress and a spacious vintage armoire to store your belongings. The bathroom separating the bedrooms has a walk-in shower where a long morning shower can be enjoyed. A tankless hot water heater will ensure you never run out of hot water!

The house is located in a vibrant, but quiet and friendly neighborhood filled with unique bungalows and Victorian houses. There is little street traffic, making it a wonderful neighborhood for biking, jogging, or a casual walk. Located just three blocks from the center of downtown Fernandina, it is an easy morning stroll to Nana Teresa's bakery or the street market on Saturday mornings. Also, a car is never needed to enjoy a great lunch, dinner spot, or all the boutique shops located in downtown Fernandina. The beach is also a short two miles away.

This house was absolutely perfect for us and the location was great for access to the cute downtown of Fernandina Beach. The host was very helpful and responsive to our needs. The washer broke while we were there and they sent someone out to repair it right away and even offered to do our laundry while we waited for repair parts to arrive.
