Top Notch Vacay!!

We truly loved staying at this great condo. Not only did the pix online look just like the condo when we got there, but it was even better in person. The condo was super spacious and quiet and literally a short walk to the beach (take the short cut, you'll thank me later). Not only was the condo also well prepared for your stay, but the kitchen had everything you would need if you decide to cook. Tony and his wife Peg are wonderful communicators and even reached out to us during the storm to make sure we were okay, how thoughtful. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location!

This was the perfect place for our family trip to Florida. The location is great for beach access and activities on the island while also close enough to Jacksonville to spend the day. The condo is very well kept and decorated, and has all the amenities you will need for a great stay. When we come back we will definitely be booking again!

Lovely! Perfect!

This is the cleanest vacation rental that we've ever stayed in! The owners really take excellent care of this property!! The condo is lovely and very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped. The beds are super comfy. We loved that it is a very short walk to the beach. We love to surf and easily walked our boards to the beach every day. There is a nice wooden raised walkway path with a shower on the way to the beach to rinse off (and rinse boards off). The on-site pool is very nice, too. Hope to visit here again!! The owners are kind, helpful, and very responsive. I also had to work remote and the wifi is fast and reliable.

This was our second time on Amelia Island staying in Fernandina, and it was just a perfect spot to stay. It's beautifully decorated, had a wonderful kitchen and everything we needed, plus the walk to the beach was easy and close! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place! We will stay here again next time we come back if it's available!

The condo was exactly as advertised - very clean, cute and cozy. Tony & Peg were great at communicating what was required and with answering any questions we may have had. Very convenient location and great amenities. We would def want to stay here again for future trips - as my son and his family live in Yulee, we go down fairly frequently.

Beautiful Place!

The condo was very nice, well equipped and so clean! It's location is just right, in a quite neighborhood but still just 5 minutes from the beach. We ranged as far north as Brunswick Ga and as far south as St. Augustine Fl. Loved every minute of it. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Great family vacation

We had a fantastic stay here. Directions getting to and checking into property were easy to follow. The place was super clean, decorated well, and thankfully for us, had very few breakable things within reaching distance of our toddler. Laundry detergent being provided was a definite plus! The location was amazing for the price, and the condo and surrounding property had great amenities. We definitely plan on staying again. Thank you for providing a great and safe place for our family to vacation at!

Wonderful affordable center located townhouse on fernandina beach

Wonderful property, has everything you need. Very affordable. Close to drive on beach which is important if you have young kids or elderly. There is a “walkable” beach access about 5-10 minute walk from property across street to A1A but not feasible if you have a family with young kids and lots of stuff but thankful right across the street is the main access point to drive and park on beach for free which worked wonderfully for us

Best place we’ve stayed!

We’ve been coming to Amelia island for 4 years now and this has been our favorite experience so far! We were all impressed with the quality of the condo and the helpfulness of the hosts, and thankful that it’s so reasonably priced! It’s a nice and easy walk to the beach and very close to the pool/tennis courts. We didn’t have any real issues and the one minor thing (that was the homeowners association’s mistake not the owners’) was resolved quickly and easily. We definitely plan to book again next summer!

nice rental the owners thought of almost everything. the only thing that might have been nice to have access to are a couple of beach towels, we went to the beach one morning for the sunrise and it would have been nice to have a towel or something to sit on. Otherwise great property!

The condo was so welcoming with all the comforts of home. It was sparkly clean in a quiet setting with close beach access. I cannot imagine a nicer place to land after 24 hours of travel and being out of the country for three years. A real welcome back to the USA. Thank you, Tony.

All the comforts of home

Felt right at home from the get- go! The unit, was very clean, and the landlord responded quickly to questions. The access to the beach wasn’t quite as convenient as we had hoped, so we just drove everyday under 10 minutes to the main beach. Overall, a terrific home away from home!
