Beach Happy is beautiful, comfortable stay just a short walk to the beach. It is well maintained and they have provided wonderfully for beach activities with chairs, towels and umbrellas.
House was very nicely equipped, located close to the beach with plenty of restaurants nearby.

This house was great for cooking meals inside and spending quality time with family in the spacious kitchen and living room area. The short walk to to the beach was a big plus. Guest Cottage was great to work with.

Hi Connie! We are so glad you had a wonderful family Thanksgiving. Thank you for being so lovely to work with as well! We would love to host you again. Please reach out directly!!
I have not stayed off the beach in Fernandina before and was very skeptical about renting this place. I was very impressed with how well it turned out. The house is very nice and clean. The short walk to the beach was not bad at all and actually much closer than some condos we have stayed in. We will definitely recommend this place to other family and friends.

Hi Ellen, We appreciate your feedback!!
Thank you! Please reach out to Guest Cottage so we can book your stay for next year!
Everything was clean and updated. Perfect house for our group of 8 people (4 adults and 4 kids under 9). The host thought of everything from beach toys to towels to entertainment. It was a great house!
Fantastic home and fantastic management. Bonnie was a joy to work with and the home was a dream - super clean and new! Perfect for a family. Thank you doesn't seem enough, but we are very grateful this home is available while we wait on our home to be built.

Colleen it has been a joy having you stay with us. I am happy the house has met your needs during the transition you are going through. Thank you!
Second time here and love the layout and location. Super easy rental and check-in process. Some of the walls had scuff marks that need to be painted or cleaned. Two things to note: Mattresses are not very comfortable and the blinds in the bedrooms are very sheer so street lights, car lights, sunrise, etc. still come in when trying to sleep.

Having stayed in another VRBO property right next to this one as it was being built I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it listed and available during our time in Fernandina. Very nicely done, house is beautiful. Will be adding to my 1st choice list for the next time around.
