About this property

Short Walk to Beach | Pet-Friendly Duplex | Deck & Grill

Welcome to 1530 Lisa Ave #A on Amelia Island, FL. "Seaside Escape" has been a short-term rental delighting families for a decade with a history of over 100 5-star reviews. Newly refreshed, it is now hosted by Stay Better Vacations. Less than 500 feet from a private beach access, this pet-friendly lower-level duplex offers laid back charm, a private balcony and the perfect location for a carefree beach getaway. A comfortable home base for couples or small families ready to trade the routine for salt air and bare feet.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit sleeps 4 comfortably. The primary bedroom has a king bed, dresser, and ensuite bath with a walk in shower. The guest room has queen bed and shares a full bath with a tub/shower combination just steps away. The living room is set up with a flat-screen smart TV with complimentary Hulu Live and Peacock, and the kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances. A dining table with seating for four is the perfect spot for puzzels or dinner. In-unit washer and dryer and fast WiFi provide all the comforts of home. There is a sleeper sofa to accommodate a total of 6 guests.

Start your mornings with coffee on the balcony, taking in the salty air and listening to the waves hit the beach, then take the 90 second stroll to Amelia Island's sandy shoreline just moments away. Whether you're searching for shark teeth, soaking up the Florida sunshine, or enjoying a peaceful walk along the water, the beach is always close. Sandy feet? No problem.

A shared outdoor shower at the home makes cleanup a breeze. This unit also shares a fenced in side yard perfect for kids or pets. Although located in the quiet North End free from traffic and congestion, it is only 1 mile to Main Beach where surfing, volleyball, mini golf, a skate park, playground, lifeguards and restaurants await. The Fort Clinch State Park entrance is 1.5 miles away and a quick, less than 3.5 mile drive, will bring you to quaint Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach.

You can park in the driveway, parallel to the driveway, by the fence, in the grass in front of the house, or along the fence in the grass by the side yard. There is plenty of parking.

Traveling with extended family? The upper unit is sometimes available to rent alongside this one, creating a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom setup for larger groups. Reach out to ask about availability. This property has a maximum night stay of 6 nights.

This was a short 2 night stay for us but that did not keep us from the area and the amenities of this home! You guys nailed it! Everything was well thought out and labeled for full usage of the property. Great location with beach access! The beach being more private to the neighborhood vs the main parking lot made for a very peaceful adventure, with well over 40 rentals under our belt in the last 12 months, this place is near if not at the top of our list! Can’t wait to visit again

I was a little disappointed about the cleanliness. Upon arrival we had to clean the deck chairs and table, the floors inside were very dirty. We had to sweep and vacuum. You had to wear shoes inside because floors were not mopped. I’m glad we took our own chairs and umbrella because the ones they say they provide were rusted and torn up. Also the gas grill was rusted and we couldn’t use it.
