Perfect getaway

Enjoyable stay for a large group. The property was comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Even though it was cold we were able to use the heated pool. The beach was just a short walk. There were many nice restaurants just a short drive to get to. The host was friendly and highly responsive.

We had a great stay at Amy’s place. The property was exceptionally clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. I loved the decor… even better than the pictures. Having the beach across the street was so convenient. We enjoyed being able to use the grill, ping-pong table and corn hole set. Amy was quick to respond when we had questions. We’re already thinking about another visit in October.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Davis

I grew up traveling to Fernandina Beach as a child and fell in love, so naturally it was the beach sweet spot that we always gravitated to for vacation.
We raised our children spending the summers playing in the afternoon tide pools, searching for shark teeth, walking down the beach to play putt putt, and picking out books at the BookLoft downtown to complete summer reading requirements. We have made so many special memories on Amelia Island and we hope that your family and friends will too!

Why they chose this property

Our dream came true to own a slice of heaven when we made our first Fernandina Beach purchase at 240/ 244 South Fletcher Avenue. This property at 551 South Fletcher Avenue is our 3rd property and it is very special. It is situated across the street from the beach but boasts beautiful views of the ocean from the upstairs deck. Get comfy in the cozy deck chair with a good book or settle in for a good nap!
Our newest feature for this property is a beautiful swimming pool! Two waterfalls are a lovely backdrop spilling over the stone ledger wall.

What makes this property unique

We started construction on the swimming pool in January. We discovered after some research that there are not many homes with swimming pools on the beach rental market. This lot provided ample room for the pool and plenty of space to gather with friends and family. We allow up to 8 guests (including children) at all times.
