Escape to a Cozy Amelia Island Marsh Retreat
Discover the peaceful charm of Amelia Island in our private, marsh-front retreat, perfect for a quiet getaway any time of year. This three-bedroom, two-bath home with a bonus room comfortably sleeps 6, or 10 total when booked with our sister property across the street on a quiet dead-end.
Step inside to a bright, freshly remodeled home designed for comfort and ease. Cook your favorite meals in the fully equipped kitchen, relax with a movie in the TV-equipped bedrooms, or unwind in the bonus room’s convertible full-size sofa bed.
Outside, enjoy your private backyard sanctuary, shaded by moss-draped oak trees. Sway in the hanging chairs, drift off in a hammock, or cozy up by the fire pit under the stars. Wildlife lovers will be enchanted by frequent sightings of hawks, eagles, and woodpeckers, offering a true low-country nature experience just steps from your door.
Even in the off-season, the beaches of Amelia Island are stunning and peaceful, perfect for long walks, shelling, or simply listening to the waves. Explore historic Fernandina Beach with its charming shops and local dining, or enjoy kayaking, biking on scenic trails, golf, or horseback riding on the beach in the crisp, quiet months.
As your local hosts, we’re here to make your stay effortless and memorable. Whether you’re looking to relax, reconnect with nature, or enjoy a quiet coastal retreat, our home offers privacy, comfort, and the timeless beauty of Amelia Island.
Book your escape from the cold today and embrace the serenity of marsh living just minutes from the beach!

About the host
Hosted by James Sciales
We love hosting because we love to provide a wonderful experience for our guests. Nothing makes us happier than knowing that they are leaving better than when they arrived.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it’s magical—private, full of lush greenery and wildlife, and brimming with the natural beauty of low-country living. It’s peaceful, scenic, and the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property stand out is the perfect mix of privacy and convenience. You’re just minutes from the beach, downtown, and the bridge, yet tucked away on a secluded, peaceful lot surrounded by lush greenery and marsh views. You get the best of both worlds: easy access to everything and a truly private, serene retreat.
