Lovely stay

My husband, our dog and myself just got home from a wonderful week at Seaside Escape. It is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable. The beach was super close - around a corner, across a street and over a small sand dune - 3 minutes. Our pup loved the fenced in yard. We were there over Christmas and they surprised us by putting up a Christmas tree - a wonderful treat. We had a small issue with the door lock.The owners were responsive and quick to resolve. A couple and their dog were in the upstairs unit for 2 nights, which we hardly heard. I highly recommend staying here. I hope to be back next year.

Excellent location

We’ve stayed at this property in the past and will continue to book here whenever we visit Amelia Island. Steve and Lynn are awesome host. We were vacationing at Venice Beach Fl when Hurricane Helene hit and we had to evacuate. We had booked a week in Amelia to follow the Venice trip. We called Lynn and Steve and ask last minute availability at Amelia and without hesitating they said yes, come on over! We wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Peaceful Fernandina Beach

The property was just as described. The neighbors are pleasant and friendly. The neighborhood is very quiet and dog friendly. We enjoyed the local restaurants and small shops. Make sure to go to the Fernandina Beach Museum and do the Docent talk. Fernandina Beach is very dog friendly. Loved Fernandina Old Town!

Great spot for beach and dogs

This was the whole first floor of a house in a quiet neighborhood, with all the amenities we wanted. There's a fenced side yard that's perfect for dogs. The beach is just a 2 minute walk away, with a private path over the dunes. We'd like to return someday!

Excellent escape

We had a short but relaxing stay that was everything we needed for our little getaway. We were looking to do something different for us for Thanksgiving and this was perfect. The place was cute and tidy. Check-in and out was a breeze and the place had everything we needed and it was all easy to find. We are so grateful they allow pets too, we wanted our whole family together for the holiday. I cannot say enough good things. While it wasn’t our first time on the island, it was our first tie staying here, but won’t be our last!

Perfect place

This property was perfect for anyone wanting a restful, convenient, comfortable vacation! The home was lovely (even better than the photos) was nicely furnished, and had everything you w need. It was very clean. Location was great - easy access to a lovely more secluded part of the beach. Close to shopping and dining… Even the neighbors (who live there full time) were friendly and welcoming. The owners were delightful! Wonderful support and communication! I’ll be back!!

Seaside Rscape

This condo is amazing. We’ve stayed here before and again it was perfect. It is always clean. It is decorated nicely by the owners and has supplies readily available. The condo is conveniently located near historic downtown Fernandina Beach, but it is very close to the beach, is very peaceful. There is plenty of parking and we had wild deer in the neighbor daily as it is right next to Fort Clinch! We will definitely be returning.

Exceeded expectations. Great communication.

A perfect getaway for us and our puppy dog. Lovely accommodations, easy beach access just across the street, far enough away from the crowds for peaceful beach going, but close enough to the action for great shopping and dining within a few minutes. Hosts were very responsive. Will go back again.

Relaxing

So close to the beach that you can open the windows and let the sound of the waves put you to sleep. Everything you need in one place with plenty of space. Owners are very thoughtful providing lots of extras like wagons and chairs for the beach, beach towels, anything you could possible need for the kitchen, lots of pillows, plenty of towels, information on local places, dog dishes, dog towels and well anything you might have forgotten except the toothbrush. Plenty of parking and lots of fenced in yard room for your dogs. A great value for the price!

Florida vacation with two dogs

The property owner responded promptly to an air-conditioning problem. The side yard was plenty of room for our two dogs. There was room to park my kayak on it's trailer on the property. We left 4 days early due to the hurricane and the owner offered us a 4 night credit on a future stay.

Great Vacation on Amelia Island

We loved our stay so much that we immediately made plans to come back next year. We would have been happy with just the easy walk to the beach but we were also next door to a state park. The beach was beautiful AND dog friendly. Our timing was also fortuitous as there were just a few folks around and they were all friendly. The historic district was nearby, as was wonderful dining. The house itself was clean, comfortable and pretty, complete with a balcony and fenced yard for the pup. The sand spurs were a pain but it comes with the territory. We travel a lot, tend to be demanding and rarely enjoy a visit as much as we did here. Thanks Hilkers!

Family at Fernandina Beach

This property and property owners were OUTSTANDING. The home was beautiful and clean, had more than enough supplies and added extras we were not expecting. The location was extremely lovely. We actually saw deer every night quietly walking back to the state park next to us. The surrounding area had many things to do, as skillfully outlined by our hosts. We will be looking to rent this home in the future as we have family living on the island. Thank you so very much for such a wonderful vacation.
