We just spent four weeks at this property. Great location and well equipped house, including kitchen items for cooking and consuming. Host was very responsive on any questions we had during our stay. Beds super comfortable with nice bedding. Deck was an excellent place to hang out in sun or shade with space and comfortable furniture. You can see and hear the ocean from the deck, which was really nice. Short walk to the community recreation center if you are looking for a fitness room or lap swimming pool.

Starting with the incredible view from the back deck straight out to the ocean waves, then inside to the super comfortable beds this place was great. Gracious host helped me with multiple changes in my plans, made everything seamless. Highly recommend if you love the beach and the sounds of waves washing ashore!

Beautiful and tranquil beachside getaway!

We absolutely loved this beach house! Hard to find but we waved down instacart and Uber eats drivers! This place was absolutely perfect for our needs and had beautiful sunrises from our deck while drinking coffee in our pj’s! Walking distance to the Sandbar restaurant which we loved also and minutes by car to everywhere else! We will be back!

Great Home in a Great Location

This house was perfect for us. We came to town to open the Christmas Store Downtown and it was a close proximity which was great. Being Oceanfront to enjoy the ocean breezes from the deck was perfect after the long work days. The space was great. Highly recommend.

We love this place!

This is our second time staying here and we’ll definitely be back! It’s such a great location. Even on a holiday weekend, the place felt quiet and the beach was not crowded. It was a hot weekend, so the under deck area was a great retreat from the for the kids to play. And the upper deck is great for evenings in the summer. It was so nice to see the beach and sunrise from the deck. Great stay!

What a great place. Been to Fernandina Beach many times and the views from this house were best.

Beds very comfortable and all well stocked. Ample parking, great neighbors and right on the beach. There for daughter's wedding on Family farm nearby and just loved this property. Very responsive and accommodating ownership. Clean two kitchens. Great for being together and some privacy if you want it. Great Great Place
