HEATED optional SWIMMING POOL and DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS!

SUNSHINE’S HAPPY PLACE

Private home with a brand new swimming pool! 4 bedroom/ 3 bath duplex rented together as a nightly rental. There are 2 beds/ 2 baths up and 2 beds/ 1 bath down. It is across the street from the beach with a PRIVATE access for our guests.

OVER 200 5 star reviews of the owner's other two properties on Fernandina Beach:
Property #298354: Rosie's Retreat
Property #221330: Cottage by the Sea

Enjoy the lovely backyard oasis featuring a private swimming pool. NO DIVING allowed and NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY. The enclosure is surrounded by lush palm trees and tropical plants to bring the island vibe poolside. Two dining tables create space to enjoy meals outdoors. Grill your favorite steak, burgers or your fresh catch of the day.
After a full day on the beach, head back to the house to relax by the swimming pool, get a ping pong tournament going or get a competitive game of corn hole started.

There are so many delicious restaurants in Fernandina. SaltLife and Sandbar are within walking distance. Play a round of putt-putt at the course between the restaurants. Enjoy a snowcone or ice cream on the stroll home.
For your safety, we have exterior cameras at the front and back of the property.

The proximity to the beach and view of the ocean is a HUGE win for this property. Open the curtain in the bedroom and the living room and you have a terrific view of the sea. There is a small balcony on which you can sit and enjoy. In the back of the house there is a lovely pool surrounded with nice landscaping and comfy loungers. The beds are quite comfy and the decor is eclectic and fun. There were nice amenities in the small, but sufficient kitchen. Large TVs were great for watching movies in the living room or larger bedroom. The appearance of the home could use a facelift. A bit tired and unkempt, which was deceiving since inside was quite lovely. One update for inside would be to update the floors as they seem to be raising. There was a good bit of noise due to construction next door that soured the relaxing moments by the pool or during the day, but that’s uncontrollable. Any time I reached out with a question we got a friendly, quick response. Helpful, informative and nice. We did have an uninvited guest (pest” that somehow survived the exterminator treatment. We shared Thai info and had a very prompt reply and the issue was addressed. Florida has a fair share of these creepy crawlers, unfortunately.

Hotel stay would have been easier
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.

Perfect Getaway Location
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!!

Weekend at the beach
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.

Perfect place for anyones beach trip
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!

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.
