About this property

OCEANFRONT Cottage by the Sea!🦩🧜‍♀️🌴☀️🐳

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.

Spectacular Sunrises
This Beach Cottage is as pictured, wonderfully comfortable, perfect for two couples. everything we needed was provided in quantity and quality from linens and towels to appliances and hot water. We live in Fernandina but a long weekend living on the beach with beautiful sunrises is an extra special treat. Our land locked friends who joined us were equally impressed. Definitely on our "wish to return" list. Thank you Amy for taking good care of us

Christmas 2024
It was a cozy cottage and it was a perfect getaway. We were able to immediately put our toes in the sand after stepping off the porch and do easy bike rides to ft clinch and egans greenway. It’s a quick drive to the center of Fernandina or Jacksonville. It was a wonderful week.

Always a joy!
This is the fourth time that we have stayed in the Cottage by the Sea. We have enjoyed every trip. We love the cottage and its location on the beach plus its access to restaurants and shopping. Amy is very accommodating and responsive. Recent renovations have been made to the cottage and improved the property even more. I recommend wholeheartedly.

Beyond Perfect
This was our 4th stay at the “Cottage By The Sea” and we’re already planning our return for next year. Believe the other reviews. Everything about this property is excellent and designed for the perfect beach getaway. The location is private and quiet with off street parking and an up close view of the dunes and beach. Amy, the property owner is a perfect host focused on making sure you have the perfect stay.

Perfect getaway
My friend and I come each year to the cottage for a relaxing getaway, and we’re about to book our third stay! The interior is spotless and well appointed, and it’s just steps away from the ocean. We only left one time during our week stay! Can’t wait to go back.

Little bit of Heaven
This is my fourth year staying at the cottage. This year it was newly renovated and just as charming and wonderful. Communication with the host is excellent, I feel like we have become friends. For an example, in moving back into the newly renovated cottage we could not find a blender. A phone call and within the hour we had the blender. If you are looking for your little piece of heaven this is highly recommended.

The best little cottage on the beach!!
We have stayed at this little place for 2 years now. Once before the remodel and now after. We absolutely loved it both times, but the remodel is WOW! They did an excellent job on it. Brand new updated kitchen, new flooring, new laundry room, a new additional bathroom, and different bedroom setups. We love the location and the owner was staying in the house behind this place while we were here so it was nice to actually meet her. They are lovely people. Everything we needed was included and much appreciated. We will always try to get this same cottage when we come to the island, as we have come to think of it as our special little getaway. Thank y'all so much for sharing your wonderful little home and just being overall fantastic. We are so looking forward to coming back!!

Perfect vacation spot!
This is our second visit to the perfect spot on Fernandina Beach !! It was wonderful the first time, but this time we were greeted with a whole new layout and remodel!! The kitchen view is amazing!!! You can prepare meals and get a dose of “Vitamin Sea” just from the amazing view! It’s super clean and Amy is a super host and thinks of all the little things to make your stay more enjoyable! Did I mention you’re right on the beach?!!! A minute’s walk is very convenient and makes it that much more fun when you’re setting up for a day on the sand. You’re also less than two miles from downtown where you have shops and delicious restaurants. We have already rebooked and can’t wait to come back to one of our favorite spots!

Cottage by the Sea
Great newly remodeled seaside cottage. Level no stairs except to your private beach path with direct and easy access to the beach. Prime location in proximity to main beach and all the island has to offer. Responsive host and nicely appointed unit with washer dryer two bed/bath and open floor plan kitchen and living area and most of all great views of the Atlantic Ocean just steps from the doorway. Modern with a developing vintage beach shack twist. Can’t wait to see what they do with it next.

Cottage by the Sea is a gem!
This is the second year we have spent four weeks at Amy’s cottage by the sea and we will be coming back next year. It’s a prime location: right on the beach and close to downtown. There is always a breeze so it is comfortable even on hot days. The sunrises are spectacular! The new renovation brings the rental to a whole new level: new baths, kitchen and AC. Amy is a delight to work with and is quick to respond when needed. It’s a gem!

Totally Awesome
This was our third stay at this property. Our first two stays were very satisfying, actually over the top wonderful. This stay was totally awesome due to Amy’s recent remodel. She and her contractor have transformed this cottage into something totally awesome. The location can’t be beat and now the little cottage equals the view and experience. We’re already booked for our fourth stay. Great job, Amy.

Escape from the north country
My wife and I were looking to escape from the cold of the north and spend some time on the beach. This location was fabulous. Right on the beach with spectacular sunrises, a great deck for cocktails, and a newly remodeled interior. The landlord was readily available and made us feel welcome. We look forward to coming back next year.

Worth all FIVE stars!
Cute and comfy beach cottage right on the beach! No wagon needed! I love being that close to the sand. And if you don’t want sandy toes, there is a nice, roomy deck where you still feel like you’re right by the ocean. The beach isn’t crowded and I love the quietness of it all. Takes less than a minute to get back to your chair from the cottage. Great location and the host is extremely responsive and helpful! And the beach chairs provided are perfect. I’ve been to places where owners won’t leave the “good chairs” but this host wants you comfortable and happy! Although it’s one bath, it’s a roomy updated one! Bed is comfortable! Check in and out was a breeze. We even had a tiny glitch with the Keurig and the owner sent her housekeeper to the rescue… I wasn’t even needing it that soon but it’s nice to know they go above and beyond. I can’t wait to go back and soak it all in again!

About the host

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!
