The property is gorgeous and placed perfectly in Fernandina. The pictures of the backyard does not do it justice. Just wish it was warmer during our stay so we could have enjoyed it more. The kitchen is fully stocked minus groceries for extended stays.

Sanctuary

My husband and I stayed at this cute little bungalow for the month of June. The back porch and patio make for a great sanctuary and a nice escape from the heat. Location, location, location was perfection. We were able to walk to all the restaurants, bars, live music ect. Beach is a short bike ride or drive away. Loved our stay. We are already planning our next trip back to this beautiful little Island and plan to stay at Josh's property again.

Perfect Little Getaway

Cute cottage in a great location

A completely remodeled cottage with all new appliances and linens. The best part is the easy walk to downtown Fernandina, with all the great shops and restaurants, the pier (where we watched nightly sunsets) and a do-able walk to the beach and the greenway (we usually drove the 2 miles though). Already miss the front porch rocker.

A Relaxing Month ON S. 9th Street, Fernandina Beach.

The cottage at 205 S. 9th Street was recently renovated inside and out. It has a clean modern look and is tastefully done with adequate furnishings for comfortable living. The two bedrooms are good size and the two baths are medium size with new fixtures one with a large shower and the other with a tub/shower. The kitchen is modern and attractive and flows openly into the living space enhancing the size of the kitchen living area. The front and back porches make nice sitting areas. The cottage is on its own lot with a private driveway. The neighborhood is quiet and located on the edge of the historic district. It is a short stroll past restored frame homes to restaurants and downtown shopping. The area is safe for walking and is one mile to the beach, Ft. Clinch, and the Egan Creek Greenway. The cottage is smallish but the two of us were comfortable there and we entertained two adult guests for four days during the month March. We would stay there again.

Charming and modern, loved walking to coffee shops and restaurants downtown

Had a great stay at this cottage. Josh was awesome, always available if we had questions. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay while we were waiting to close on a house we bought nearby. Great place to stay for a season or during transition. The yard was nice for the kids and the neighborhood was quiet and safe, but just around the corner from all the downtown restaurants and the Central Park playground. Thank you again Josh!
