Charming beach house with a private access to the beach!
Beautiful views from the second story deck and an ocean view from the downstairs living space. Rosie's Retreat is a second row home, on the beachside of the street.
The home features 4 king bedrooms with a designated bathroom for each bedroom. Two of the bathrooms are ensuite.

Please feel free to text or call with questions.

I love the location of our Rosie’s Retreat! We are within walking distance of Salt Life and Sandbar restaurants located at Main Beach.
The friendly neighborhood is a mix of full-time residents and short term rentals homes.
The public pool is a short distance from our home. The Atlantic Rec pool is family friendly with a nice baby pool and a nearby playground.

The entire home is available for guests with a private patio and a private balcony. The home is located on the beachside of the street. It is a second row home with a lovely view of the ocean.

Rosie's Retreat is a comfortable home with a beachy, coastal theme. There are 4 king bedrooms. Each bedroom has a separate designated bathroom. One of the King bedrooms is located on the first floor.
Our home is within walking distance of two delicious seafood restaurants that often feature live music: SaltLife and Sandbar. I very much enjoy sharing our home and have had the pleasure of getting to know many wonderful people over the years.
We have exterior front and back security cameras with audio.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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

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! 🌴Amy

This property was very clean, the host was very responsive, and the whole family loved the house. It’s not pristine or ultra modern, but feels like a homey fun beach house. Just the right amount of kitsch and modern. The walk to the beach was very easy, we had a 3 year old with us, and he made the walk easily every time. The view from the 2nd floor master and sitting areas in the master bedroom and main hallway are beautiful.Plenty of everything. Kitchen well stocked, house well stocked, even with things you normally have to buy, soaps, laundry detergent, cooking spices etc… Lots of clean white towels and bedding. The furniture was cute and comfortable, plenty of storage, and 2 sets of washers and dryers! Bathrooms aren’t large but are adequate and 1 bathroom per bedroom was perfect!Outside there is a great patio, included are sand toys for the kids, plenty of beach chairs. There is a great shower and a hose outside to rinse off. Such a blessing with small kids. Inside, plenty of toys and games. These hosts have worked really hard to help make your vacation special! This was probably one of the very best stocked rentals I have ever stayed in.
