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.

Best reunion stay! We loved the property, all 7of us. The house was clean and well stocked, pool was a great gathering place, with chase lounges. Also, beach chairs provided to sit by ocean. The upstairs rental was perfect for our big meals and sitting on the porch watching the waves. Would definitely book again.

Perfect getaway

Enjoyable stay for a large group. The property was comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Even though it was cold we were able to use the heated pool. The beach was just a short walk. There were many nice restaurants just a short drive to get to. The host was friendly and highly responsive.

We had a great time on Amelia island and the host made us feel like family. Amy made sure everything was perfect with our stay and checked on us to make sure we got in ok. We had a ton of laughs, played Jax and chilled in the pool... Just what we needed... We would love to book this again!

Perfect house for a big family

Check in Process: The check in process was amazing. You receive the code right before arrival and you walk right in. We had no issues.Communication with property manager: The communication was amazing. We had a few questions along the way, and received a response almost immediately. We did have an issue with the ac upon arrival, but we had someone at the house within 30 minutes. Location of Home: The location is extremely close to the resturants and shops in downtown. Grocery stores and the Dollar General are less than 10 minutes away. Best of all, you are right across from the beach! You are able to look at the ocean from your bedroom or livingroom while relaxing.Overall the home was perfect for our family. There is an upstairs and downstairs that is separated. Both the upstairs and downstairs have full kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. They are fully stocked and provide you everything you need including utensils, plates, cooking supplies, towels, etc. The outside of the house was under renovation, but the inside was what mattered the most. The pool outside was the most used area and probably the best part of the house. It is surrounded by a fence, therefore we had plenty of privacy. It was a heated pool, so my family really loved that! I highly recommend staying here!

Getaway

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.
