Check in process is nerve racking. Felt like we were trying to “get away” with something. We were coming in for a wedding and were told we could not even have people drop by if they were not on the rental agreement, really created a stressful situation and paranoia. Also, you can hear EVERYTHING from the apartment upstairs at all hours. Insulation is nearly non existent from road noise and upstairs tenants, so just be prepared. Lastly read the details check out is 10am, very early for a VRBO and again just created an extra stress for what should have been a delightful weekend of memories at the beach with family and friends.

This place was perfect for a two day vacation with the family. The place had everything you needed, from beach chairs, towels and game accessories. Would definitely stay again.

Amenities are as described/pictured with many thoughtful touches. Appliances are updated, beds are COMFY, shower water stays hot and the water pressure is strong! Host provides comfortable beach chairs and quality beach towels too. The shore is truly just a couple steps away and there's restaurants, putt putt, snow-cone cart, public park, and a beach shop within a short, comfortable walking distance. Only thing I'd note for drivers, the driveway is STEEP and if your vehicle is low like mine (Altima) you need to turn in via a right hand turn versus a left to avoid scraping. Initially google maps leads you in and has you make a left turn into the property...take a loop and come in the other way and you're good to go. Locals are super friendly and there are dozens of things to do that are just a short drive away. I'm already day-dreaming about returning soon for my next get away!!

The host was very quick to respond to any questions I had and the place is super cute and clean! Right across the street from the beach made it easy to go back and forth.

We live near the beach in Jax. But we love Fernandina. So in my search I found a cute two bedroom unit right across from the ocean.
My wife's birthday was Friday. We had dinner at the Salt (Ritz Carlton).
Saturday off to Cumberland Island for the day. Amazing place we love. Excellent Ranger staff. Most wild horses we've seen in years. Just a special place to see local nature at its best.
Dinner back at FDB, Arte Pizza. Locally owned with a buch of hand made dishes.
Both St Marys and FDB are excellent low stress tourist areas.
Saturday night we sat out on the patio and just listened to the sea while watching the moon rise.
Sunday, up dash to the beach. We saw a somewhat muted sun rise. We realized we did not really go to the beach, at all.
Now we must return
Thanks to our host Amy.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. There were plenty of supply, very clean and comfortable beds. The hosts were quick to respond to any pressing needs. You do hear the people staying upstairs and fortunately for us they were pretty quite.

The residence was really clean. The beach access was very accessible and proved to be easy for our 5 year-old. We loved the beach vibes! The location was in close proximity to a lot of great restaurants. I urge everyone to eat at Artes pizza. Located in town. We would definitely stay here again!

We were impressed as soon as arrived. It is obvious the owner took time to properly updated the house with good sense of style. Main attraction when searching for a place to rent was proximity to the beach. This house is right across a two lane road from the beach and not too close to any busy public access points, which is a huge plus for me.
Full updated kitchen, outside grill, indoor outdoor eating spaces, games and fire pit thing all add to a great setup.
This is a two story house comprised of two separate units. The first night no one was in the top unit, which was nice to have outside common areas to ourselves. The second night it was occupied but everyone is happy and nice at the beach! Yes, you can hear folks walking and talking above at night when all is quiet but it didn’t effect our sleep.
Owner is very responsive, helpful and nice.
Hope to rent this unit again!

The property was as advertised. Excellent location, excellent communication with owner. We biked about 50 miles in 2 days from that location.

We had a great stay at Amy’s place. The property was exceptionally clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. I loved the decor… even better than the pictures. Having the beach across the street was so convenient.
We enjoyed being able to use the grill, ping-pong table and corn hole set. Amy was quick to respond when we had questions.
We’re already thinking about another visit in October.

Great little beach house with fun decor. The beach is right across the street and so easy to walk to. Quick drive to restaurants in town or bike to the ones near by. Amy even provided beach chairs and towels. Very well stocked. Loved our time here!

This beach house was so cozy and comfortable. Beautiful sunrises right off back porch. Will definitely stay again

The unit was a perfect size for our family, 2 adults and 2 small kids. Great beach access and walking distance to putt putt and park. We enjoyed the patio each morning. We could hear the guests upstairs even though they weren’t being loud. Not a huge deal because we have kids. Also no visitors are allowed. Again, not a huge deal but we happen to have family in the area that we’re going to visit during the day and were not allowed. They did give us the opportunity to cancel but we chose not to. Overall a very good experience.

The house was very comfortable for our family. The kitchen is well equipped and Amy provided a pack and play and high chair for our baby which was super nice. The location is great! The house might not be on the beach but it has private beach access right across the street which made it easy to go back and forth with the baby! Overall really great spot, and we will definitely stay here again in the future!

The perfect getaway!
We had a delightful stay. The property had a nice layout, it was easy to move around, and it was pleasantly decorated, inside and out. I loved having access to the outside with seating in the front and the back of the house. It was very clean, and had every amenity we needed. The location was wonderful, with the personal beach access across the street (we felt priviledged :-)) The large green planters outside were beautiful and served as a marker for the house. We had a great time!!

Excellent value with a bonus ocean view!
We're exploring the possibility of re-locating full-time to Fernandina Beach, and stayed a week at Amy's Ocean Cay property. When we arrived, the unit was spotless. Loved the super-comfy recliners, ocean-facing front patio, private beach access, and (most of all) convenient/central location.
