Candice Cove is one of the Historic homes on American Beach Oceanfront. American Beach is a historic HOA beach community located north of Jacksonville, Florida on Amelia Island in Nassau County. During the time of segregation and the Jim Crow era, African Americans were not allowed to swim at most of beaches in Jacksonville, and several black-only areas were created. American Beach was the largest and most popular, and was a community established by Abraham Lincoln Lewis, Florida’s first black millionaire and president of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company.

American Beach was founded in 1935 by Florida’s first black millionaire, Abraham Lincoln Lewis, and his Afro-American Life Insurance Company. The plan was for his employees to have a place to vacation and own homes for their families by the shore. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, summers at American Beach were busy with families, churches and children. It was a place where African Americans could enjoy “Recreation and Relaxation Without Humiliation”. The beach included hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs as well as homes and other businesses.

Location, location, location!

We couldn’t have asked for a better location! This charming beach house is right on the beach, 1 mile beach walk to the Omni and 1.75 mile beach walk to The Ritz. Our kids were spoiled by the accessibility to the beach - so convenient to come back to eat lunch, use the facilities, etc. We had plenty of room for our party of five. The next time we are on Amelia Island, we will be staying here!

Thanksgiving at the beach

Location is everything in my opinion when going to the beach. This rental location was perfect. Waking up to the sunrises daily and being a walk over the dune to the ocean was exactly what this Colorado family needed!

A Wonderful Experience

The owners set the gold standard for hospitality. Throughout our stay, they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, leaving thoughtful touches that genuinely made us feel at home. A highlight of the property was the exquisite outdoor area. Not only is it beautifully landscaped, but it also features a refreshing outdoor shower and a well-equipped bar area — perfect for unwinding and entertaining. The proximity to Burney Park is another major plus. It's a pleasant stroll away, offering an excellent opportunity for a peaceful walk and a prime vantage point to appreciate the ocean views, even if one chooses not to or cannot tread on the beach sands. We did encounter a minor hiccup due to unforeseen natural circumstances, but the owners were proactive and swift in their response. Before the rest of our party arrived, they had already taken measures to address and remedy the situation, displaying their utmost dedication to their guests. In summary, our stay was not just about renting a home but experiencing genuine warmth and care from the owners. With its prime location and outdoor amenities, this rental is a haven for those looking to immerse themselves in coastal charm. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a wonderful rental experience.
