OCEANFRONT Cottage by the Sea!🦩🧜‍♀️🌴☀️🐳

This charming cottage has a beautiful view with a large deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. No long walkway to the beach...just step into the sand from the deck.
Let the beautiful sunrise envelope you as you sip your morning coffee. In the evenings, spread a blanket and watch the stars as the waves splash beside you. It is rejuvenating for your body and soul!

Our Cottage by the Sea is a special retreat. We have enjoyed many vacations here and hope that you will find it as inviting as we have.

No matter where we travel, we long for our island oasis. We continue to discover new and exciting things to do.
From horse drawn carriage rides along the cobblestone streets of downtown Fernandina to segway excursions through the national parks to daytrips to Jacksonville's Zoo or Cumberland Island, there are many activities to keep you busy. We just seem to find that we prefer to head back to the Little Cottage by the Sea.

Great place for our family of 4!
This was the perfect house for our family. It was situated right on the beach with a big deck to look at the beautiful ocean! We could walk to a few restaurants and it’s a quick drive to the downtown area. We loved it here!

Escape from the north country
My wife and I were looking to escape from the cold of the north and spend some time on the beach. This location was fabulous. Right on the beach with spectacular sunrises, a great deck for cocktails, and a newly remodeled interior. The landlord was readily available and made us feel welcome. We look forward to coming back next year.

Totally Awesome
This was our third stay at this property. Our first two stays were very satisfying, actually over the top wonderful. This stay was totally awesome due to Amy’s recent remodel. She and her contractor have transformed this cottage into something totally awesome. The location can’t be beat and now the little cottage equals the view and experience. We’re already booked for our fourth stay. Great job, Amy.

Cottage by the Sea
Great newly remodeled seaside cottage. Level no stairs except to your private beach path with direct and easy access to the beach. Prime location in proximity to main beach and all the island has to offer. Responsive host and nicely appointed unit with washer dryer two bed/bath and open floor plan kitchen and living area and most of all great views of the Atlantic Ocean just steps from the doorway. Modern with a developing vintage beach shack twist. Can’t wait to see what they do with it next.

Perfect Location
This was our second stay here. We’ve already booked our third and fourth stays for 2024. Amy is a very thoughtful host and is local if you need anything. Can’t beat the privacy and convenience of the deck in the dunes!

Cottage by the Sea is a gem!
This is the second year we have spent four weeks at Amy’s cottage by the sea and we will be coming back next year. It’s a prime location: right on the beach and close to downtown. There is always a breeze so it is comfortable even on hot days. The sunrises are spectacular! The new renovation brings the rental to a whole new level: new baths, kitchen and AC. Amy is a delight to work with and is quick to respond when needed. It’s a gem!

Our favorite beach place ever!
You can't beat Amy's place in terms of being located right on a beautiful beach, convenient to town and restaurants, clean, well-equipped, and very well-managed. This is definitely our favorite place, and we have traveled the world over.

Return to the cottage!

Gorgeous view
This was my second visit to this Darling cottage on the ocean. Spectacular sunrises over the sea. The cottage is very clean and well equipped. The owner checked on our stay several times and was always available to answer questions and offer suggestions for dining. We will definitely return to this precious jewel.

Best views inside & out
Best oceanfront option on all of Amelia Island and best price, single family home or condo. Direct ocean access and direct oceans views from inside and from deck. Owner took great care in trying to stock everything a renter may need or want. Much, much nicer than most beach house rentals. Only con was on a non-windy day, which is rare, you may smell the paper plant for a couple of hours in the morning when outside. Highly recommend. Would definitely rent again.

Charming Oceanside Cottage
Searched a while to find the right fit for my needs during this weekend get-away. I sought peace, quiet, rest and relaxation - all spots were hit. Glorious sunrises, birdsong, and lapping waves provided much needed tranquility. This lovely cottage would work for many other purposes as well. It’s clean, well laid out especially for a relatively small footprint. Also thoughtfully stocked and cheerfully decorated. I came on my own but can see how families would do well here too. Check-in and out went smoothly and efficiently due to excellent communication. This little slice of heaven has all that one could want from a vacation home - away from home. Leaving restored, grateful and hoping to return in not-too-distant future!
