About this property

Cottage by the Sea features front row views of the beautiful beach and Atlantic Ocean.

This charming cottage has a beautiful view with a large deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. No long walkway to the beach...just step into the sand from the deck.
Let the beautiful sunrise envelope you as you sip your morning coffee. In the evenings, spread a blanket and watch the stars as the waves splash beside you. It is rejuvenating for your body and soul!

Our Cottage by the Sea is a special retreat. We have enjoyed many vacations here and hope that you will find it as inviting as we have.

No matter where we travel, we long for our island oasis. We continue to discover new and exciting things to do.
From horse drawn carriage rides along the cobblestone streets of downtown Fernandina to segway excursions through the national parks to daytrips to Jacksonville's Zoo or Cumberland Island, there are many activities to keep you busy. We just seem to find that we prefer to head back to the Little Cottage by the Sea.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed on Amelia Island since I was a child. After I had children, we continued to visit Amelia Island. At some point we decided to visit other beaches. My children begged to go back to Amelia Island! We have always enjoyed searching for sharks' teeth, collecting seashells, biking downtown for ice-cream, feeding the birds.....Amelia Island is the place we long to be!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property because of this little cottage. When I saw the unbelievable view of the ocean from inside the cottage, I started to cry. (And my husband knew it was a 'done deal'!) Our cottage has so much charm and character! It was built years ago, before the building setbacks were put in place. The location of our cottage is right on the sand! You just can't get any closer to the water! I think Amelia Island is special because it is not too commercialized. When you drive onto the island, you immediately feel the slower pace, the relaxed feel of the island! The main beach street has some new construction, but it also has a nice mix of old beach cottages that have been in families for years! It really adds a lot of character to the island. If you visit the downtown, you feel as though you have stepped back in time. Families are strolling along the sidewalks and peeking into charming shops, locally owned bookstores, and coffee shops. You can't leave downtown without a taste of ice-cream or homemade fudge from the Fantastic Fudge Shop!
