Candice Cove is one of the Historic homes on American Beach Oceanfront. American Beach is a historic HOA beach community located north of Jacksonville, Florida on Amelia Island in Nassau County. During the time of segregation and the Jim Crow era, African Americans were not allowed to swim at most of beaches in Jacksonville, and several black-only areas were created. American Beach was the largest and most popular, and was a community established by Abraham Lincoln Lewis, Florida’s first black millionaire and president of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company.

American Beach was founded in 1935 by Florida’s first black millionaire, Abraham Lincoln Lewis, and his Afro-American Life Insurance Company. The plan was for his employees to have a place to vacation and own homes for their families by the shore. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, summers at American Beach were busy with families, churches and children. It was a place where African Americans could enjoy “Recreation and Relaxation Without Humiliation”. The beach included hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs as well as homes and other businesses.

Relaxing Stay
We loved our stay at your beach house. It was clean, well decorated, had comfortable beds, great views and close beach access. We enjoyed the porch, deck and back patio with the outside shower. So much room to relax and enjoy the beautiful area with our pup. We also liked the historical books and cookbook re America Beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Thanksgiving at the beach
Location is everything in my opinion when going to the beach. This rental location was perfect. Waking up to the sunrises daily and being a walk over the dune to the ocean was exactly what this Colorado family needed!

We couldn’t have asked for a better location! This charming beach house is right on the beach, 1 mile beach walk to the Omni and 1.75 mile beach walk to The Ritz. Our kids were spoiled by the accessibility to the beach - so convenient to come back to eat lunch, use the facilities, etc. We had plenty of room for our party of five. The next time we are on Amelia Island, we will be staying here!

Best place on Amelia Island
This is my favorite place to go when on vacation. This place is amazing. This was a 2nd time here and it was even better. I have already scheduled my next stay. The upgrades to the bathrooms was super nice. I would give this place more than 5 stars.

Perfect Beach House
This charming beach house feels just like a treasured family retreat. It was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable. The proximity to the beach is incredible. Both Anthony, the owner, and Bernard, the property manager, were very proactive in making sure we were settled in and happy, which we were! The American Beach area is rich in history and natural beauty. We hope to have the opportunity to return for a longer stay.

Perfect location with amazing outdoor space!
This is our family's 5th year going to Amelia Island, and we only rent houses on this street for the great beach access and historical importance. We loved this rental! We liked the charm of this historic home with touches of modern finishes here and there. And the outdoor space was absolutely wonderful! Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sound of the waves. There is even an outdoor shower in the courtyard with cold AND hot water! We will definitely be staying again!

Great beach cottage
This cottage doesn’t look like much when you get there but it turned out to be the most relaxing, comfortable place. Loved the back covered porch with plenty of seating and ocean views. Beds were very comfortable and the place was impeccably clean. The Wi-Fi was spotty at times. Any problems we had were addressed immediately . Plenty of outside space to lounge in ! We would love to go back!

Just what you are looking for.
There is nothing better than sitting on your porch watching the waves! The welcome basket was a wonderful surprise and most helpful. This property is quiet and wonderfully appointed. There was a grocery store just a few minute drive down the road. Good communication with owner.
