Pleasantly surprised

I have not stayed off the beach in Fernandina before and was very skeptical about renting this place. I was very impressed with how well it turned out. The house is very nice and clean. The short walk to the beach was not bad at all and actually much closer than some condos we have stayed in. We will definitely recommend this place to other family and friends.

Great location

Second time here and love the layout and location. Super easy rental and check-in process. Some of the walls had scuff marks that need to be painted or cleaned. Two things to note: Mattresses are not very comfortable and the blinds in the bedrooms are very sheer so street lights, car lights, sunrise, etc. still come in when trying to sleep.

Definitely a Repeat Property

Having stayed in another VRBO property right next to this one as it was being built I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it listed and available during our time in Fernandina. Very nicely done, house is beautiful. Will be adding to my 1st choice list for the next time around.

Easy beachy!

The house was very updated, modern, yet still comfy cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with all you need for our culinary endeavors, which were more than normal because of the pandemic. Lots of beach equipment was stored in the garage for our use. The beach access was convenient with just a short walk. Beaches weren't too crowded which was great. My only gripes would be the quirky microwave. 5 Stars!
