Barefoot Amelia Beach Rentals isn’t just our job—it’s a reflection of our love for this island. Jenny grew up here, and Matt is from nearby Jacksonville. After 7 years in Atlanta, we felt the pull back to the coast—where we could pour our energy into something fulfilling while still embracing the island’s way of life. Now, we’re lucky to raise our two kids, Miles and Madelyn, here, along with our beach-loving dog, Duke. This is home, and we love sharing it with others.
We created Barefoot Amelia to offer more than just a place to stay. Our beachfront rentals are designed to feel like a retreat—well-appointed spaces with thoughtfully designed interiors, carefully chosen details, and all the little touches that make relaxing easy. We’re hands-on in overseeing our homes, working closely with our team to maintain high standards, create welcoming spaces, and ensure every guest has a seamless stay.
Nothing makes us happier than sharing the best of Amelia Island—whether it’s the perfect coffee spot with an ocean view, a tucked-away seafood shack, or a favorite local experience that makes a trip unforgettable. Whether you’re here for a quick getaway or an extended stay, we want you to leave feeling like you truly lived the island life, not just visited.
We’d love to share our favorite place with you—come make yourself at home on Amelia.
