Perfect Beach Getaway

We love this little house! We will be back! Approximately 100 steps to the sand. Located right across from beach access, quiet, and uncrowded. House is so nicely decorated, very clean and comfortable. House is well stock with anything you might need. Just felt like home away from home. Really enjoyed being able to go right to out door shower when coming up off beach. Beautiful shower setup! I definitely recommend this home. Property mgr is so very nice and easy to communicate with. Thank you Sabrina for sharing your heaven on earth beach cottage!!

House Near the Beach

Super convenient to the beach and downtown activities, which is where our family spends the majority of our time in Amelia Island. Owner was excellent to deal with and the listing was accurate to what we found when we arrived. First time we were this close to the beach, and it saved us a lot of time in travel to and from each day. Excellent vacation and this location was a big part of that result!!!

Great location, beach and amenities

The beach cottage was absolutely lovely. Directly across the street from the beach. Both bedrooms and baths were fitted with nice linens. The kitchen was well stocked for 4 guests. The deck on the front of the house has very comfy chairs and a lovely table wth an umbrella. It was great sitting out there for drinks and dinner. We used the gas grill twice too. The property manager Jean was available and responsive to our needs. Since she was traveling her backup David helped us out with the TV. (Us old folks are technological challenged)!! David gave us great restaurant ideas and did not steer us wrong. The shed behind the house was filled with beach equipment. Some of the chairs were quite old but serviceable. The beach was very private for only the residents in the neighborhood so we felt like the rich and famous. We will certainly rent again in the future and tell our Ocala friends all about the beach cottage.

Wonderful location

The location of the property was perfect. We enjoyed our time on the beach, Fort Clinch and old town area. The rental property was adequate. Furnishings were worn but adequate, kitchen set up was adequate. The overall property lacked the special touches I look for in a rental property. Vacation homes should make you feel special. I would not rent this property again.

Peaceful getaway

We could not have asked for a better summer getaway for our family. The house was perfect, well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The best part was the location of the house, just steps from the beach. The beach was quiet and not crowded. The historic area of Amelia Island is worth a visit with a museum, shopping and restaurants. Communication with the host before arrival and after arriving was easy. We throughly enjoyed our week and look forward to visiting again!

This house was absolutely perfect for me, my husband, and my dogs. It was spotlessly clean inside and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of supplies for preparing meals. The location was the best part, the walk to the beach was so short and it was easy to run back to the house if we needed anything. Jean was super nice and made our stay seamless. I wouldn't hesitate to come back again. Highly recommend!
