Quintessential Beach Cottage, STEPS From The Ocean, & WE LOVE PETS!

With its proximity to the beach and newly remodeled interior, our charming beach cottage is sure to exceed every expectation. Guests often comment on how clean, beautiful, and well-equipped our cottage is. They also love that they can bring their pets!

We book 3 month blocks from Jan 1 - April 1 for our Snowbirds. We book weekly (Sat.-Sat.) April - October. We book nightly with a 4 night minimum stay November - December. (exception: Thanksgiving and Christmas are weekly: Sat-Sat.)
Maximum number of guests is 4.

One of the biggest perks of this rental is our proximity to the beach. We are located right across the street from beach access #10, a pristine strip of sand with plenty of places to swim, sunbathe, and play.

Along with the easy beach access you get a stunning sunrise view. You can see the water from the master bedroom and the large, gated deck. The deck has 2 Adirondack-style chairs and a patio set-the perfect place to dine alfresco or watch the day break. If you need to rinse off after the beach, the private outdoor shower is an unexpected luxury.

If you would like to bring your pet please contact us so we can get information and approve your pet. We have pet bowls, pet towels, and a large kennel available for your use. There is a daily fee of $20 per pet. Also, we require your pet(s) to be on flea preventative and up to date on vaccinations.

Close by is public access to the Atlantic Recreation Center with a swimming pool, splash park, fitness center, and a wonderful kids playground. There is also a movie theater 15 minutes away. If you're looking for restaurants, live music, or other entertainment, downtown Fernandina is a short 2 1/2 mile drive from the cottage.

We've equipped the cottage with everything you might need for a relaxing day at the beach including coolers, beach chairs, body boards, and more.

If you would like concierge service prior to your arrival, please call Jean at 404.307.8967. She can help with grocery shopping prior to your arrival ($40 fee), make restaurant recommendations, and answer any questions you may have about the island. Recommendations and questions are welcomed and complimentary!

We have 2 bikes available to rent for an additional $50 per stay. If you would like to rent kayaks, extra bikes, or a nice large beach umbrella, call The Beach Store & More at 904-310-6124.

Inside, you'll find a lot to love. The cottage was recently remodeled, and everything is extremely new and clean. The kitchen has beautiful granite counter tops, all new stainless steel appliances (new photos to come), a large pantry, and everything you need to prepare fabulous meals in the comfort of your very own beach cottage. The living area is equally inviting and includes a 42-inch flat screen TV, and a Blu-Ray/DVD player. You'll also find a washer and dryer in the pantry.

Linens are provided, including sheets, bath towels, kitchen towels, beach towels, and dog drying towels.

In the master bedroom, you will find the decor to have a playful yet sophisticated feel. It includes a very comfortable king size bed, a flat screen TV, and an in-suite bathroom with a combined shower and tub. It's almost like staying in a boutique hotel. The guest bedroom has one twin and one double bed, and a flat screen TV. It's the perfect place for your kids or guests. The second bathroom also has a combined shower and tub and is centrally located off the main hallway. The cottage includes free Wi-Fi and cable TV.

Demand is always high for this adorable vacation rental. Contact us today for more information or to reserve your dates! Our calendar is always up to date! Please check it for availability. Note: GA vs. FL weekend is a 4 night minimum stay.

Our Resort Rental Dwelling Permit # is 3501.

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!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The beach access was perfect. The house is updated and exactly as the pics depict. We loved the outdoor shower to clean off before entering the house. You are close to most all the restaurants in old town and just a mile from Salt Life where we ate twice! We will definitely rent 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!

easy access
First time in Amelia. Very convenient access to the beach. There are 2 ways to enter and exit the property which is nice because the road out front is a very busy road. No need to haul all your chairs, boards they are provided which was a first for a VRBO for me. Shelling and fishing was great. Great shopping even better food.
