Pet Friendly-1 Mile to the Beach! Fenced in Back Yard!
Bring the 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.
Please note, our home is OLD, like your grandmothers home but with an eclectic vibe. The owner of the home is an antiques dealer. If you do not appreciate old charming cottage homes with chotchkes- "decorative clutter" and old oak trees with moss, you will not like this home. (Full transparency- we get amazing reviews on this home that note a "nostalgic vibe"... Also, we have updated the comforters throughout the home to a teal blue along with teal blue couch covers (for sanity purposes that we clean after each stay).
Rent golf carts & bikes for your trip. Our home is 1.5 miles from the stunning Ritz hotel (just to give you an idea of our location).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

So glad you enjoyed your stay in our home. Thank you for the review and please come back anytime. Happy birthday š
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!
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. Itās an older home in an older neighborhood, but itās been nicely kept up and is on a lot of land. Itās 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!!

Hi Daniela, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the great review. As far as the water goes, The entire island has an iron smell because we are very close to the Papermill. We do have a well which helps with that but I would recommend that anybody that comes to Jacksonville or Fernandina to bring their own bottled water because even the restaurants ice water does not taste very good. Not much we can do about the waterš we did enjoy having you so please feel free to come back at any time.
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.
Itās 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 isnāt bad, but the walk backā¦.we got an Uber! LOL!
Thanks for helping us make some more great family memories!
If youāre looking for a fun, casual space for a larger group, this is a nice place.
Kindest regards, Tina
The home created an unsafe environment for my grandchildren and pet. The backyard fence had missing boards, boards sticking out where a child could get hurt. The right side of the fence is extremely wobbly, to where a child or a dog could get hurt. There were nails raised from the deck, which could cause a cut to a foot. The bathtub was rusted inside the tub. The kitchen sink was rusted. The downstairs bathroom had an old basin attached to the wall which had wash towels located inside. The basin was all rusty. I get it's an antique, but it was a health issue as a person in the house whom is a Diabetic. They listed there was an elevator but one was not visible nor the host did not give further information. The furniture was in need repair and soiled. The host said she had the home deep-cleaned. It was advertised as pet-friendly. But with the backyard fence in the condition it was. This was a safety issue for my dog. Some nails were pulling away from the fence. The side of the house had panels that had sharp edges. The outside was poorly kept. Some of these issues were addressed with the host. The individual told us there is a strict no refund policy. In one of the bathrooms had missing tiles to which a person could had cut there foot on. Her comments "I am sorry the home was not up to your standards". The list could go on. This has been reported to Vrbo and the response was I needed to address with the host.
Online pictures did not match reality! Youāve 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 donāt 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.

AJ, Our photos look EXACTLY like the home. We let everyone know that the home is 100 years old! We do not try and hide that. As far as no toaster or ice trays, when you notified me upon your arrival I went on amazon and sent them over night to you. Yes, things get missplaced at times. As far the slip covers on the furniture, we do that for sanity reasons, so that we can clean them after each guest. We have GREAT reviews on our home(the majority being on the competitors site). I understand that this is your opinion but this review is not accurate. And as far as your comment on "hodge podge", the owner is an anitques collector and dealer. Again, I state that in the description of the property. I understand you didn't like our home but to leave a review like this is pretty low of you. Please don't ever come back.
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 otherās company and the beautiful property. Canāt 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!
