Perfect place for us. Our host was amazing, delightful and a wonderful communicator. Loved the 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. Have already reserved for a week in May.

Great house! Great stay!
This home was perfect for a double birthday! 8 of us fit very comfortably - it was so nice to have good chairs and beach towels available and the owner was responsive to a missing coffee pod station and had it delivered in an hour ! Highly recommend this house for a visit to the beach!
Second time I’ve stayed in this property. It’s clean, cozy and great beach access. Highly recommend’

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and I'm tickled that you shared photos from your stay. Seeing everyone gathered around the table, your walks on the beach and that beautiful sunrise is why I love what I do. We would be honored to welcome you back anytime!
Incredible property with great kitchen, bedrooms and king beds, beach access, and the owner was very flexible when we caught influenza that delayed our arrival.

According to all guests, the home and host were lovely. Had a glitch with the paperwork on the front end and a power outage that took out the only TV and Internet services for entirety of the stay but everyone was appreciative of the efforts of the host to make amends.

Thank you for extending kindness and understanding during an unusual week. While I couldn't control the storm or the outage, I cared deeply about making things as right as possible, and I appreciated your grace throughout the situation. I'm grateful your mom and her friends still enjoyed the home. It was a pleasure to host this group of lovely ladies. I'd love the opportunity to welcome them back for the seamless stay we strive to provide.
Sincerely,
Amy
Bill,
Thank you for your kind review! It was a pleasure to host you and your family for such a special occasion. I don't often get to meet my guests so that was a bonus for me! I think I could enjoy treasure shopping with Peggy.
I'm glad that Rosie's Retreat was a part of your 80th birthday celebration, and I hope the memories you made in Fernandina will continue to bring smiles for years to come. We hope you will visit again soon!
Warmly,
Amy
We had a beautiful stay. The house was impeccable, the beach was clean, quiet and not crowded. The town of Fernandina beach is really charming.

Hi Colby!
I am happy to hear that you had a beautiful stay at our Rosie's Retreat! I LOVE when guests seem to enjoy the same things that I do about Amelia Island. Most of the time the island is quiet and uncrowded and often the beach can feel almost private.
I'm glad you were able to experience downtown Fernandina. There are so many delicious restaurants, antique shops, ice cream, and more.
We hope to welcome you back to our Rosie's Retreat again soon!

This was our second year in a row staying at this wonderful house and we hope to come back again next year! Great setup, perfect for our family of 4 + grandparents. The location can't be beat!
We had a wonderful time here as always! This charming house is perfect and had everything we needed to have a relaxing few days away from the demands of life. Have stayed here many times and hope to be back!
We loved our stay in Fernandina Beach. The home was close to the beach and the downtown. We loved having 4 bedrooms and 4 baths! Home was clean! Lots to enjoy at Rosie's Retreat. Amy, the property manager was attentive to all our needs.

Great beach cottage in a lovely town
This is our second visit to Rosie’s retreat, and it was just as lovely as the first time. The owner ensures you have everything you need, and the house itself is wonderful. Great location, well-appointed kitchen, nice bathrooms, and comfortable beds.
