This is my third stay and it was lovely. The house is on the beach, and the beach is beautiful and not crowded. Brenda and Jim are lovely people, and they arr incredibly responsive. The have done everything they can to make this a pleasant experience including rocking swings, a fire pit, a small putting green, and a dog area. Fantastic!
The unit was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. The Platt’s were awesome hosts and very responsive with ant inquiries. Close to the center of everything. Our only complaint is the vacation ended.
This was our 3rd time staying here, and as always- we enjoyed it greatly!! Check in was very simple; Home is very clean; Jim and Brenda are excellent hosts! They both are always available if needed, and very helpful. Kitchen is stocked with cookware and utensils. There is a Keurig and regular coffee maker for use. We enjoyed the Beach View…and this year they have a puppy potty area fenced in on the premises- which is very nice!!So happy to have found a CLEAN, PET FRIENDLY, FAMILY FRIENDLY, AFFORDABLE place to enjoy for vacation. We travel from Michigan…and reserved our stay for next year .
Right on the beach by private walkway. We were disappointed in that we could not reserve it for next year. Everything was as described---well provisioned, lots of outside areas to sit, and very cozy. Wonderful hosts--helped us out in a couple of emergencies. Amelia Island is a real gem, we have never seen a place with so many wonderful restaurants. Wish we could stay here again--
Everything was very clean and bed was comfy. Didn’t get to enjoy the beach other than a quick walk down the private pier. Nicely appointed and great communication with owner. Location was ideal and close to everything we needed on the island. Would love to stay here again.
Apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Very nice and comfortable. Very accommodating for pets also. Would highly recommend and we look forward to staying there again.
This was our 3rd or maybe 4th time staying so we obviously really like to stay there. Nice to be on the beach and the new putting green was also a nice addition. Will definitely stay again. Thanks!
Wonderful, relaxing stay in spacious, clean lodgings that open onto multiple dune side decks and a beautiful walkway to one of the best beaches in Florida.
Beautiful property steps from the beach. Owners are making the yard even more dog friendly by adding sod and fencing. The porches are huge and allowed us to enjoy the sounds of the ocean and the breeze. There are sliding glass doors that open onto the porches that give a great view of the dunes. The ocean waves can be heard when the doors are open. Everything you can imagine needing at the beach is provided. They have baby gates to contain the fur babies on the large porches. The property is uniquely decorated with the owners artwork. A sign on the front door welcomed us personally. It was very quiet despite the fact that the owners live upstairs and there is another smaller unit that was occupied next to us. We will be back for another visit.
Every year we stay here, the owners are always making improvements and keeping the property up to date. We love it here and always recommend it to our friends and family.
Terrace level of renters home. It was lovely, older but clean and well maintained.

About the host
Hosted by Brenda Platt
Jim and Brenda Platt - We are retired from long careers in telecommunications and have traveled extensively in the US and abroad. We've been many beautiful places but, to us, none are as beautiful as Amelia Island. The island still has the small town feel and people are friendly and helpful. Nature thrives on Amelia!
Why they chose this property
Amelia Island is a unspoiled barrier island with pristine beaches, thrilling wildlife and the most charming Victorian village in the South.
What makes this property unique
Quiet evenings with silver moonlit seas. Wonderful sunrises. Beach that is never crowded. Flocks of pelicans, waterbirds and dolphins. Our property is located in a residential area away from the commercial feel of condos and hotels.
