My family loves this house. We have stayed here 5 times and we always check its availability when we plan our vacation. The location is ideal. We particularly love the back porch, the view of the beach, and the outdoor shower. It’s a very homey place and we always enjoy our stay!
Perfect location and great little beach house. Air conditioning went stopped working during night - texted owner the next morning at 0645 with immediate response. Constant contact from owner about repair and was back up and running by lunch.
This property was great location for my family. The easy access to the beach was wonderful. There is a nice deck overlooking the ocean. I did contact the property manager and he was easy to get a hold of and eager to help with any issue. Property is slightly dated but this is easily overlookable as it adds to the charm. The shower underneath the property is genius!
The whole process of renting this property was easy and pleasant. This house is located on the beach with the ocean just a few steps from the back deck. The owner was very pleasant to correspond with. We had one small issue with one of the appliances in the house and he had it repaired the very next day. I would definitely recommend the property and we hope to return soon.
This little beach house is just as quaint as it appears in the pictures. Reminds me of cottages from my younger years. Fairly easy access to the beach which is really just steps away. Love the porch which spans the entire front of the house. Great fourth of July fireworks all up & down the beach. Our stay was enjoyable but for the weather (Tropical Storm Elsa) but just being at the beach makes me happy. Thank you George . we love this cottage.
Really enjoyed the beach house and the location was wonderful!
I enjoyed the beach house and the location was wonderful! Everything was clean and just like the pictures. I enjoy reading about the history of the beach house and the family! It was perfect!
This quaint little beach house was a great find! With multiple beds, 1.5 bathrooms, plus a large private shower and lovely hammock below the house, it was just right for our family with older teens. The small kitchen had everything we needed to cook many of our meals. The only thing we missed was a dishwahser, but they had a dishwashing wand that made it easy to wash dishes as we used them. We enjoyed eating our meals on the deck and relaxing there in the evenings. The beachfront location was the absolute best with amazing views. There were a lot of people on the beach over the holiday weekend, but it never felt crowded. Midweek the beach was so peaceful with only a few people around. The location was also convenient to the historic district, trails, and restaurants.
Can't say enough about this jewel of a property. We felt very much at home in this house that provides all the comforts of home. Very clean and well-equipped. Location directly on the beach is a dream come true. This was our second visit, and it was as good as the first.
Very quaint beach cottage. It was exactly what I expected from the posted images. Before I mention any issues, just know the beauty and closeness of the beach made up for them. This is a pet friendly property so with that you have some expectations. However, we had to cover the living room furniture in order to sit due to very strong pet smell in the fabric. The downstairs area was very unkempt and the previous guest did not pick up behind their dog. But as I said before it met expectation and the beach was pristine and close. One other issue to mention, the neighbor across the street was very nasty. One evening when family was leaving my 3 year old grand son was saying goodbye from the porch. The neighbor yelled across the street, " shut the **** up." That was disturbing. This of course was not the owners fault. The home is aged and could use some up keep. Beds were very comfy!
The star quality of this house is location. It could not be more perfect for a beach get away, right ON the beach Yet close to whatever you need.. The house is a beach house, nicely decorated in ocean theme, comfortable, and welcoming, best points being the deck, the downstairs shower, and very well equipped kitchen..I must point out that although there is no dishwasher, there is a KEURIG for those who love them, so pack your K-cups..! There is a fantastic hammock below the house, I wish It was on the deck, but still very enjoyable to lay in and enjoy the sea breeze right where it is. We consider finding this house was a treasure for us and we look forward to returning.
We had such a fantastic stay at this great, old school beach house. It was absolutely everything we needed and the location (dead on the beach) was perfect. It had the essentials, didn’t need anything else. Great views, great house-we LOVE Amelia Island. We will most definitely stay here again.
Old time Florida House. Terrific location. Great owner.
Had an air conditioning issue, called George, issue resolved in less than an hour and a half.
Would definitely rent this house again. Great time.

Magnificent Location
The house has some age on it but the location is amazing! We woke up every day to the sound of the waves and the sun coming up over the water. It was a restful and refreshing week.

Great location, cute house, good owner
My family had a fun time in Amelia Island, and George was easy to work with. You could not ask for a better beach view or access. You are right on the beach and the pictures do not lie. The home is conveniently located to the historic district/downtown, Fort Clinch and local shopping off Jasmine. I think it is was just about a 1 mile walk down the beach to Sliders. Perfect for walking off all the good food. The house is great for a beach vacation with the large outdoor shower below to clean off and large deck to sit and enjoy the evenings. There was some cleaning required upon our arrival and during our stay, and the home could use some updated, but George said those were in the plans. If you go into your visit that you are visiting someone's personal vacation home and not visiting a business/hotel/full time weekly rental you can appreciate that this house has everything you need.
