Soul Sistas Beach week #16

This is our second year staying at Crump’s Sandcastle. It is perfect for our group of 12 friends, ages 60-75. This is our 16th yearly beach trip. We have stayed at several different homes but this is by far the best. It’s not only the spaces and number of bathrooms but you can tell this is a well loved and cared for home. We have already reserved for next year!

Girls Getaway

We are four 60 women that plan a trip together once a year. Amelia Island was our favorite so far. This house is in a perfect location. The beach is steps away and it is less than 10 minutes to the historic downtown or the grocery store. Also, the house is very well appointed with everything we could need. We are talking about a returning.

Spring Break Memories

We’ve been coming to Fernandina Beach for Spring Break the last 7 years. The last four of which have been spent at this house. I don’t think there is a more perfect location for our family. The proximity to a quiet section of beach and the relaxing porch to swing and watch the ocean are our favorite features. This house was built for families and we have used it to make memories for ours.

Better Than Before

This is the second time I've stayed in this house; the last was in 2020. If anything, the house is in better shape than before, with upgrades most notable in the bathrooms. The location can't be beat. The house is comfortable and well-equipped. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The house is spacious, the beach is just across the road, and the view is amazing! Plenty of beach towels. It was the perfect place for six high school friends to spend a week.

Amelia Island our Happy Place!

This house is perfect for our family. This is our 3rd time staying at Sandcastle. The screened in porch was great for our grands. The weather wasn’t the best but this house had books for our 4yr old grand and I to share. The big Lego blocks provided hours of fun. Making memories at Amelia is the best!!

Wonderful Week

The house is well thought out. En suite baths with each of the four bedrooms downstairs. The loft is nice as well, especially if you need a little tuck-away room for a young one. The living area/kitchen/screened porch was ideal for our large crowd. The sunrise over the ocean and the view of the water from the porch made you feel you were ON the beach. The "beach toys" available for use and the shaded, sandy "playground" under the house was really perfect.

Best house in the area!

We just wrapped our 9th annual family vacation in Amelia Island. This house has been the best so far! Location, house layout, cleanliness, comfort, supplies, and the SCREEN PORCH all made our stay so enjoyable. We look forward to returning next year!

Everyone in our family loved staying here. Each bedroom is spacious and quiet. Loved the screened deck and play area under the house. The view of the sunrise is breathtaking. It’s an easy walk to beach an we were able to make multiple trips a day with small children .Can’t wait to return.

We took the whole family including our 1 year old grand son. the house is perfect for a large family. The location is great, the beach is very quite and the small town of Fernandina Beach with lots of shops and restaurants is a 10 minute drive. Highly recommend this house for a great and relaxing time.

Let's make it a regular thing

This is my our new annual place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, friends and family. This was our third stay, first one without a nor'easter or hurricane coming through. Caretakers are very attentive and personal. Space is perfect for getting away from it all and each other when needed. Convenient to biking to town for brunch or dinner. We love it.

Amelia Beach

We’ve stayed here 3 years in a row. Great location and great multi-family set-up. We really like this place but furniture is getting old, including living room furniture and beds. Updating that would really help this place. Just a suggestion not so much a complaint.

Amazing stay

This is our second time staying at this fabulous beach house. We had 9 adults and 2 babies. Everything was great. The kitchen was stocked with all you need to cook with even a fryer and a crockpot. It is a fabulous house for many people. The beds were comfy, even in the July heat the air kept up enough for 11 of us. Under the house there is plenty of room for beach things and 5 trucks. They have 2 swings and a sand area shaded that was nice to play in for the babies. You are directly across from the most beautiful beach so walking back and forth for meals was easy. The screened in porch has 2 porch swings that were used a lot. Perfect place to have coffee in the early mornings. We love this house! We will stay again. Thank you to the owners for all your love and care that you put into the house. It is evident.
