About this property
Historic Seaside Town Apartment Walk to Beach
Escape to Historic American Beach on Amelia Island hosted by Stay Better Vacations! We encourage you to discover this laid-back, historical seaside town with expansive beaches, sand dunes, and beauty abound. This is a newly built apartment above the homeowners garage just blocks from some of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast. Private parking, private entrance, and nice furnishings makes this sweet little space perfect for two!
A beautiful one bedroom, one bathroom layout featuring a comfortable living area and kitchenette, nestled in the heart of Historic American Beach. This peaceful retreat is designed for adult guests seeking a quiet, relaxing stay. All guests must be 30 years of age or older, and the home is not suitable for children or infants.
Historic American Beach, founded by A.L. Lewis in 1935 with the vision of “A Place for Relaxation Without Humiliation,” welcomed all people during the era of segregation. As you explore the surrounding area, you'll find historical markers throughout American Beach, including Evans' Rendezvous, where legends such as Ray Charles, James Brown, and Louis Armstrong once performed. Nearby, the Nana Dune system, the largest in Florida at approximately 60 feet tall, stands preserved thanks to the efforts of MaVynee Betsch, known as the “Beach Lady.” The location is within walking distance to the beach, the A.L. Lewis Museum and Community Center, Pogo's Kitchen, and Circle K, with a short drive to the Omni, The Ritz, and downtown Fernandina Beach.

Great little place
Great location and very comfortable. Door code to access washer & dryer didn't work so we weren't able to access before departure to wash our beach towels etc. Staff were very quick to correct coffee maker issue upon arrival. All communication was prompt & staff we.t out of their way to make certain everything was right. Will use your company again for sure! One comment for the property owner, 3 spoons knives forks is not enough for even eating take out! A few more kitchen items would contribute to the stay! Overall a very nicely done apartment!
