About this property

Short Walk to Beach | Pet-Friendly Duplex | Deck & Grill

Welcome to 1530 Lisa Ave #B on Amelia Island, FL. "Seaside Escape" has been a short term rental delighting families for a decade with a history of over 100 5 star reviews. Newly refreshed, it is now hosted by Stay Better Vacations. Less than 500 feet from the beach from a private beach access, this pet-friendly upper-level duplex offers peek-a-boo ocean views, a private balcony, and a sunrise that makes it worth waking up early. A comfortable home base for couples or small families ready to trade the routine for salt air and bare feet.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit sleeps 4 comfortably. The primary bedroom has a king bed, dresser, access to balcony and ensuite bath with a tub/ shower combination. The guest room has two twin beds that can be converted to King and shares a full bath with a walk in shower just steps away. The living room is set up with a flat-screen smart TV with complimentary Hulu Live and Peacock, and the kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances. A dining table with seating for four plus two counter barstools is the perfect spot for puzzles or dinner. In-unit washer and dryer and fast WiFi provide all the comforts of home. There is a sleeper sofa to accommodate a total of 6 guests.
Start your mornings with coffee on the balcony, taking in the salty air and listening to the waves hit the beach, then take the 90 second stroll to Amelia Island's sandy shoreline just moments away. Whether you're searching for shark teeth, soaking up the Florida sunshine, or enjoying a peaceful walk along the water, the beach is always close. Sandy feet? No problem. A shared outdoor shower at the home makes cleanup a breeze. This unit also shares a fenced in side yard perfect for kids or pets. Although located in the quiet North End free from traffic and congestion, it is only 1 mile to Main Beach where surfing, volleyball, mini golf, a skate park, playground, lifeguards and restaurants await. The Fort Clinch State Park entrance is 1.5 miles away and a quick, less than 3.5 mile drive, will bring you to quaint Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach.

You can park in the driveway, parallel to the driveway, by the fence, in the grass in front of the house, or along the fence in the grass by the side yard. There is plenty of parking.

Traveling with extended family? The upper unit is sometimes available to rent alongside this one, creating a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom setup for larger groups. Reach out to ask about availability. This property has a maximum night stay of 6 nights.

We love staying here! This was our second time at this property and we are getting ready to book our third. We love how close it is to the very quiet and peaceful beach. Our dogs love the beach and we love going out in the morning and looking for sea turtle tracks. This is such a peaceful neighborhood and the place is clean and well kept.
