Great location great views
Having the beach so close was a great convenience. If kids needed the bathroom they could pop up to the house quickly, no need to pack a lunch for beach day just made a trip back to the house. Great sunrises

Great beach house!
We have stayed here before and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is dated but in good condition. The beach is nice and quiet. Will definitely be returning!

Nice location but needs work
The property is in a nice location but needs attention to detail. The bedrooms lack black-out curtains so they get light very early. Also, there is no screen door for the patio so you cant open the door for air without bugs getting in. The carpet is very old and has a slight musty smell as well. Lastly (and most importantly) the deck is in poor condition. For little kids there are several warped boards that are trip hazards and my daughter tripped once. So, the house "does the job" but could be a 5 star rental with a little investment.

no response to my concerns
Upon entering the property, we noticed the staircase was in dire need of repair, the beds were below par and slept horribly ( the ONLY suitable mattress was the pull out trundle mind you ) and sheets in the main WERE NOT EVEN CLEAN. My husband told me to just let it be and for us to make the best of our stay and I stripped the sheets for the wash and carried on. Tried to rather... for the price we paid we expected a much better experience and we have traveled quite a bit as a family and never encountered this. This is my first ever negative review and it pains me to write but with no communication at all from the owner I just hope others are aware that this is NOT in great condition and to look at others before settling here. The back deck and crosswalk in completely falling apart and is a liability. The grill needs to be taken off property. It was rusty and filthy. The owner needs to walk the grounds and question if they would rent a place like this and find it acceptable to rent out. There is mold in the master bathroom shower vent and we actually packed up early and left to go back home because of how bad this experience was when normally we don't want to leave. TOTAL LETDOWN. The tile floor was nice.

Great place to enjoy the beach and town
Love the location. Love hearing the waves right out the door. Looks newly renovated. Easy access to all that Fernandina Beach has to offer, particularly the amazing restaurants. But also nice place to stay home and eat in. We’d be happy to come back.
