Pet Friendly-1 Mile to the Beach! Fenced in Back Yard!
Bring the extended family or a group of friends in this charming 100 YEAR OLD historic updated beach farm house just 1 mile from the beach. Very clean, cold AC, spacious, comfortable farm house on 3 acres w/beautiful large 200 year old oak trees in the middle of everything! Close access to beach, walking trails, downtown, restaurants & shopping. Rent a golf cart or bikes to ride around town or to the beach. Historical town of Fernandina sits on the bay of Amelia Island and our home is perfect for groups who want to stay together (with easy access to the beach) in the same home AND at a great price! Also our mattresses are SOOO comfortable and we use mattress covers as well as disinfectants on our mattresses after each guest to ensure cleanliness. Our home is "Old" but its updated with lots of charm and great reviews, so if you are looking for something fancy like the Ritz... Its only 1.5 miles from our home and about 10X more expensive. Your choice ;)

Online pictures did not match reality! You’ve heard of the expression that no expense was spared, in this case, just the opposite is true from our perspective - every expense was spared! The ambiance and amenities of the place were dreadful. Some examples: no toaster in the kitchen ; there is an electric mixer BUT we could never find the beaters for it; no ice trays in the refrigerator; the BBQ on the back porch was abysmal, it was rusted and in terrible shape; all the furniture was uncomfortable and covered with slip covers; the items in the kitchen were a mishmash and looked like they came out of a neighborhood garage sale, a jumble of styles, not very comprehensive, etc.; what items were in the kitchen cabinets were old and very used; lots of junk in the garage.. Additionally, we had to pay an additional fee for insurance coverage in case we damaged the property - I don’t think that is possible! It just looks like everything was done as cheaply as possible. Our overall impression was that the furnishings (excluding the unique stuff) were just a hodge podge of items gathered from a wide number of sources and thrown together. There is not the usual reference book of information you find in other rentals. I would never recommend this place to any of my friends and clearly, we would not return. We planned on staying for ten nights, BUT left less than 24 hours after arrival.
Hi! We enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and has a fun quirkiness to it, very charming. The beds were comfortable and we had room for everyone (7 adults). One of our favorite things was the screened porch where we sat and played games at night.
We found some beach buckets and chairs in the car port (and added one because my daughter left hers there). It was nice to have access to some beach toys.
We had a great time and your trees made a perfect backdrop for family photos. Everyone got dressed up and posed for photos during golden hour under the trees.
It’s a bit of a walk, but the beach is within walking distance. Our adult kids went to Disney and husband and I opted for the beach, but the kids had the car. It was about 20 minutes of walking which isn’t bad, but the walk back….we got an Uber! LOL!
Thanks for helping us make some more great family memories!
If you’re looking for a fun, casual space for a larger group, this is a nice place.
Kindest regards, Tina
Our family enjoyed this beautiful house! Just a few points here:
-It was exactly as described in the listing!
-The owner has provided everything we could possibly -require;
-The kitchen was better equipped than my home;
-The beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept in;
-There was so much to do on the property, even when it rained!
This was an amazing rental experience. The location and property was perfect. We loved the house and was exactly like it looked in the pictures and from the reviews. Every room seemed to tell a story, from the furnishings to the decor. Very quite, cozy, and just the right size for a party of 6. We were close to the beach, shopping and downtown Fernandina. The owner gave such good details for check in and out process along with best places to eat and shop. The kitchen was so well equipped, we cooked our own meals and had lazy evenings sitting around enjoying each other’s company and the beautiful property. Can’t wait to go back again.
This was the best place we could have picked. It was the most homey feeling cottage for our group. In a great location on the Island, but also lots of space and parking. The hot water was so nice and the beds were oh so comfy!
This such a fun and charming house! We I’ll definitely stays again!
It was super clean and just adorable! It had everything you need. Our host Candice was the best she gave so many good recommendations for food and things to do. Thank you for a fun 45th birthday weekend!!
We really enjoyed staying in this home- the bed we used was comfortable and the house very clean. There are some wonderful antiques on the property, which give it an artful and welcoming feel. It’s an older home in an older neighborhood, but it’s been nicely kept up and is on a lot of land. It’s quite at night and accessible to everything on the island within 10 minutes or so. It was perfect for what we needed. The only thing I would say is to make sure you bring drinking water since there is no Britta filter and the water has a strong iron smell to it. The hot water is hot and the ac works great!!
