Thank you for staying with us at Bell's Retreat! We're so happy that you were able to enjoy the serene beachside views and that the accommodations were appreciated and appropriate for your needs. Please come back and stay with us again soon! -Amelia Island Vacations
Extremely relaxing location and the view of the ocean was spectacular! The unit is nicely furnished and included island information and board games for entertainment. The walk out to the beach was not far over the dunes especially for Amelia. This is a 3rd floor unit and there is no elevator. Didn't bother us but not for someone with mobility or health issues. Easy drive to the historic district and Fort Clinch. Amelia Island Vacations was fabulous.
What a great gem in Fernandina! The condo was clean, easy to access and had everything we needed for the weekend. Plenty of room for a family of six and the private beach access was priceless. The beds were comfy, even the pullout sofa. Lots of beach towels and toys and umbrellas to use. The patio balcony was an added bonus. Fernandina, what sweet little downtown. Be mindful there is stair only access, no elevator to the top floors for those with limited mobility. Thank you for sharing your place! Would definitely stay again!
Great property for a peaceful beach getaway! Plenty of space, clean, well-stocked, and right on the beach! Great location and parking was easy. Perfect for our family with two small children and four adults. Would definitely stay here again!

We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your time at Captain's House A3. Thank you for such a honest and great review. We would hope that you will return at another time and stay with us.
We spent a long weekend at this condo and loved it. Location on the beach with a top level view of the beach is perfect. Easy access to the beach if you don’t mind some stairs. Nice that they had a hose to rinse off your feet. Super clean. Can’t speak to kitchen supplies as we didn’t cook.
The home was very comfortable with a great view from the porch, ideal for seniors who can still climb a few stairs.

Perfect getaway on the beach with amazing ocean view
You can watch the sunrise right from the patio, and listen to the ocean waves. The kids have the wonderful beach right in front of the door. A beautiful place to stay at. Highly recommended.

Thank you for staying with us at Captain's A3. Hope to see you again soon. Amelia Island Vacations
This listing was beautiful inside and had breath taking views of the ocean. We will definitely be booking again next year. I had 3 young kids with me and it was a perfect place for us to relax and enjoy the ocean.

Thank you for staying with us here on Amelia Island. We would love to have you stay again soon. You were such a wonderful guest! Thank you so much,
-Amelia Island Vacations
Highly recommend! We enjoyed a weekend get away for our little family wedding. We chose this rental due to its location being so close to main beach park where our beach wedding took place. I loved the beautiful condo overlooking the beach. Beach access was easy, the neighborhood was quite and fri3ndly. The balcony was the perfect place to watch the sunrise before the wedding.
Quick three day trip to the area for work and a little R&R after. Property was in a great location, easy access, clean and well equipped. Could use a new sofa, maybe a recliner, but it severed its purpose and I would stay here again.

This is our second time staying at this property. We like the location, for its closeness to historic Fernandina. We love being right on the beach. It’s so nice to wake up in the morning and watch the sunrise. The property had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you!
The Captain's House was always my parents favorite place to stay before they bought a house and moved to the island. I had stayed there many times with them. It was as I remembered it. I loved being on the top floor on an end.
