Beautiful Seaside Escape! Lic. # RRDP-001317-2019
This is a cozy spot for a beach vacation! The neighborhood is quiet and a great spot for a low key weekend away. It is a short drive to downtown for the restaurants. The condo has everything you need and Lynn was a communicative host. You will hear anyone staying on the floor above, so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

Private oasis, private pool, exceeds expectations
So relaxing In such a beautiful setting. Loved relaxing in the sun by the pool. Able to get fresh eggs every morning from the hens on the property who were always excited to see us. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again and stay at the property.

The Hothouse-Couples Escape: Play-Relax-Reconnect
This was our second stay here and it was even better than the first!! We enjoy everything about this property so much! they had added more cooking utensils, baking sheets, etc to the kitchen as well so we had everything we needed. We can't wait to come back again! Our favorite place!!

Pool Home with Game Room in Heart of Jax Beach!
5 Stars – A Much-Needed Getaway with Comfort and Convenience My family and I planned to be in Jacksonville for medical appointments at the Mayo Clinic and decided to turn the trip into a bit of a getaway. We’re so glad we chose this Airbnb—it was the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and relaxation. The house was well-appointed and had everything we needed for our stay. (Though note to self: next time, I’ll remember to bring my 13x9 pan for baking brownies!) The beds were very comfortable, and we appreciated how clean and inviting the space was. The pool was a huge plus—clean and well-maintained, with plenty of chairs for lounging and soaking up the Florida sun. The location was excellent—quiet yet convenient to everything we needed, including the Mayo Clinic. The hosts provided some great restaurant suggestions. We tried Jax Beach Brunch Haus and found it to be delightful-- great lattes, delicious pancakes. We would definitely stay here again!

Sea Glass Cottage
Loved the stay!! House was right downtown and within walking distance to everything. Didn’t even have to drive to get to the Cumberland Island Ferry. The place was clean and comfortable! Perfect spot for a weekend getaway! Will definitely be back!

Dune Bungalow
The Dune bungalow was a perfect getaway for my wife and I. Very secluded, quiet and awesome outdoor pool and so close to the beach. Restaurants nearby are amazing and the neighborhood feel in this area is just amazing very friendly people and a very quiet, secluded location. It was absolutely what we were looking for, and we were not disappointed. When we need to book again for a secluded romantic getaway, the Dune bungalow fits the bill to a T. We were so happy we had a chance to stay there and will definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us. It was just beautifuland we can’t wait to get back!

I can’t say enough good things about our visit. This was our first Airbnb experience but it certainly won’t be our last.

The home was extremely beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. The neighbors were very friendly and the property/landscaping was nice.

Definitely the best hosts in Jacksonville.

Cottage on Norris Unit B DOWNTOWN and PET FRIENDLY
Debbie and Chris were so responsive and kind even way before I checked in. Their place was awesome for my trip! Two bikes - amazing perk since you can bike the whole town easily. Also easy walking to everything or like 3-5 minute drive to downtown. Great spot for our Cumberland Island tour trip. Cottage B is fantastic with the outdoor pergolas with fans and couch, grill, and table. Well worth the price! Would recommend to any friends or family members for future endeavors.

Fell in love with Amelia Island! Cheryl’s condo was a big part of it!! So easy to access beach and pool. Perfect for kids. LOVED that she had beach chairs and a beach cart.

Blue Reef at Auberge d'Amelia
The rental was very convenient to the beach access. Even though this unit is across the highway from the beach, the view was absolutely gorgeous. The windows gave a perfect view of the ocean. Ray was excellent. We had one small issue and he immediately had it fixed. We will be visiting next year and plan for a longer stay. We loved it!

Your guide to Amelia Island
Welcome to Amelia Island
A delightful slice of Florida coastline in the Deep South, this relaxed 13-mile stretch of sun and sand is sometimes referred to as the Isle of Eight Flags. That’s because the barrier island has changed hands at least that many times. The Timucua people first settled here around 4,000 years ago, and the French, Spanish, English, Patriots, Green Cross, Mexican Rebels, Confederates, and the United States all claimed the territory at some point thereafter, in some cases more than once.
To soak up some of this history, head for the island’s downtown hub, Fernandina Beach, where a late-19th-century rail depot now serves as the tourist welcome center. City blocks abound with converted fishing cottages and Victorians with gabled roofs and verandas, many of which have been repurposed into shops, restaurants, and bars. The remainder of the moss-draped island is defined by its verdant parks, inland tropical forests, golf courses, tidal marshlands, and a shell-studded shoreline, along with the land and water adventures that have been drawing vacationers since the 1880s.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Amelia Island
If you like a low-key vacation with mild, warm weather, the best seasons for visiting Amelia Island are the spring and the fall. Of course, the destination is popular year-round and really goes off in the summer, when families from all over the American South converge on the island despite its rising heat, humidity, and rainfall. Temperatures dip a bit in winter, but it’s fairly dry, with plenty of sun and optimal birdwatching, making this another great time of year to visit. Note that demand skyrockets over Christmas holidays, which are reminiscent of peak summer crowds.
If you’re interested in attending some of the area’s beloved events, the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival happens in the spring, and celebrations of jazz and whales are put on in the fall.
Top things to do in Amelia Island
Fort Clinch State Park
Centered on a 19th-century fort taken by a Confederate militia during the Civil War, this sprawling 1,400-acre park also offers shelling beaches, a half-mile fishing pier, and idyllic trails for hiking and bicycling.
Kayaking
You haven’t truly visited Amelia Island unless you’ve gotten onto the water and paddled along a tranquil estuary in a kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard. Nearby outfitters offer ecotours, firefly tours, rentals, and even paddleboard yoga classes.
American Beach Museum
This museum offers a glimpse into a historic African-American beach community formed during Florida’s segregated Jim Crow era. The American Beach shoreline was constructed in 1935 to include Black-owned motels, restaurants, and nightclubs that featured performances from famous Black musicians. After a hurricane decimated the community in 1964, desegregation rendered a rebuilding obsolete.
