-Attention fisherman: You can’t get any closer to the ocean! There are lots of tournaments and you are minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean. (Boat lift is
not for guest use) House is located on a main shipping channel which makes the tides go up and down by 6-9 feet which means you cannot tie up a boat to the dock. If you are bringing a boat we recommend putting in/put at local ramp and just enjoying the dock for sitting on, hanging out, fishing etc.. please mention if you are bringing a boat when booking so we can go over everything.

House is full of information on all parks+resturants+things to do!

There is a non refundable $400 pet fee.
Outdoor fire pit and fireplace are not available for guest use. They do not work.

**Due to local city mandates there are no more than 10 people allowed.**
** NO HOUSE PARTIES, NO UNAUTHORIZED GUESTS.
QUIET HOURS: ALL DAY. There is never a time that music can be turned up, people yelling/celebrating. Our neighbors are very close by and respecting them is our number one priority. If rules are broken/ neighbors report, guests will be asked to leave immediately, and your payment will be forfeited. This is absolutely not the place for any social gatherings. This property is located in a very quiet neighborhood with neighbors close by.

Surveillance cameras are present around the entire exterior of the property located at all corners, pointing to the outside of the entire home including the dock and pool deck area for safety purposes.

A great getaway

The house was immaculate. We spent most of the time out by the pool playing games and watching ships go by. It was very entertaining. The kitchen is a cook's kitchen. We did a few outings to Amelia Island which is not far away. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you Meghan!

River house

The house worked well for our family which included several generations. The enclosed pool was great, it allowed us to be outside without the insects. We encountered several maintenance issues with the house while there. The response from the owner was very fast and the issues were quickly taken care of. We had a good week.

The home was immaculate, the sleeping rooms very nicely furnished and comfortable, the game room was an added plus! You can’t beat the location on the River. Kids were fishing off the dock in their pajamas at sunrise. The pool and hot tub added hours of fun and relaxation.

Amazing time!

This property was the perfect family house! The host was so responsive and helpful with recommendations on things to do. I also loved that the property had everything you would need for your stay including sunblock, detergent, dish sponge, paper towels, etc. But our absolute favorite part was watching the dolphins and boats everyday off the dock. The view was incredible!!! We would definitely stay again!

Spectacular Home & Host

We had an adult family reunion at The Island Estate and had an amazing time! Agree with many other reviews that the pictures do not fully capture how beautiful, spacious, clean, and well-equipped this home is for a visit. Maghen coordinated everything wonderfully, including all the information needed for a safe and comfortable stay as well as stocking us with snacks! We highly recommend The Island Estate and look forward to returning soon!

Best host ever!

Our family has been renting homes all over the country for every occasion, business and pleasure. For the last decade we have rented homes instead of staying in hotels. This is one of the best homes we've stayed in and the host is by far the best host ever! From the welcome goodies to the entire home, they are the best. Thank you and we will plan to stay there again.

Meghan’s place is like a private 5 star resort! Everything is new and sparking clean! Meghan is extremely attentive and available for any questions that may arise. Everything you need to have a fun vacation is on the property. The screened in pool area was where we spent most of our time as we were traveling with a 10 month old. We will definitely be back!

Family Gathering

We really had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home and it was perfect for all my family that were coming in from out of state for my son' wedding. Meghan was great to answer any questions promptly and the welcome gift was a nice touch. Only complaint is the house is much older than the photos from the advertisement listing and the there was very little water pressure in the bathrooms. This became very difficult at night when everyone needed a shower before going to bed. The home defiantly needs some updating...

Best rental we have ever stayed at

We rent a lot on VRBO and this rental by far was the best we have ever had. The owner supplies EVERYTHING you need to actually be able to arrive and enjoy vacation. We went to grocery store on arrival and never had to worry about anything else. Upon arrival there was a personal note, special treat for us and endless goodies provided. Everything you need for fishing, pool time, beach etc was included. We loved our stay and next time we are back we will definitely be staying here.

This was our second time staying at this home, and it was even better than the first! Maghen goes out of her way to make sure you have a superior experience. There are instructions for everything, snacks of every stripe, and even a spectacular cheese and fresh fruit board when we arrived. The house is freshly renovated, spotlessly clean, and wonderful! Maghen contacted us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. You just can't do any better than staying here!
