Fantastic little beach house

This house is in a beautiful area of Fernandina Beach. It is in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the grocery store, Omni hotel, and downtown. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, this is a perfect place.

Loved The Pearl House!

I loved this home. It is immaculate, beautiful decorated, fully stocked with whatever one might need. Welcoming and peaceful home and neighborhood, yet very close to everything. Excellent location. The bed I slept in was very comfortable - best sleep I've had in six months. I'd come back here just to stay at this home.

Fernandina stay

The cottage was clean and adorable. Check in was flawless, appreciated the 3 pm check in and 11am check out. There were no issues during our stay. The neighborhood was under construction so it wasn’t as eye appealing as I’d expected.

Tidy, lovely, home perfect for a small family and pup!

Tidy, lovely, and equipped with everything you need. Nice, open living and kitchen area allows for the family to relax and enjoy time together. Spacious master with full bath and two twin beds upstairs with a full bath, perfect for kiddos! Loved the laundry room and small storage area with beach chairs and umbrella, easy to grab and carry on the walk to the beach. Small but sweet yard area in the front and back was nice for our pup to explore! Kerby is a great host and very responsive. We had a great stay!

As we discussed on the first day of your stay, there is a water treatment and water softener system on the property. We provided an immediate suggestion for the odor, and you replied that the problem was remedied. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience during your visit.

Wow Wow Wow!

1200 steps to an empty, beautiful, pet friendly beach. We stay in VRBO's quite a bit. This one is by far the best ever. Clean, spacious, pet friendly and near grocery, restaurants and shopping. Owner is also very responsive from booking to departing. Harris Teeter grocery has very good prepared food selection that is reasonable, a great wine selection and just about anything else you might want. You can't go wrong with any of the restaurants on the list in the home but you add Cucina South to it if you're looking for a more upscale Italian restaurant priced fairly. Bottom line - we will definitely go back. You will not be disappointed with this pick!
