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.

American Beach

If you are looking for a modern high rise with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, this place isnt for you. But, if you want a quaint, clean beach bungalow steps from the ocean, lots of outdoor seating spaces, and a very responsive host then this is(Anthony), then this is the place you want.

Beach Getaway

What a gem of a place! Perfect location, easy to find, within 20 mins of downtown to go shopping at cute stores and enjoy great food at local restaurants. We explored multiple trails and enjoyed the beach. Lots of bike paths are available. Locals are friendly! The owner is attentive and helped quickly when the front door lock had issues. Also, hurricanes came through and they are repairing the bar area so the outside downstairs area was closed. But that was ok with us. Great place and we recommend for anyone wanting a cozy place on the beach.

Great beach house

Stayed at Candice Cove for a week and thoroughly enjoyed this little cottage. The location is perfect and the house is fully equipped with everything you would want for a beach vacation. The laundry facilities were not available due to previous storm damage, and it would have been nice to have a dishwasher in the kitchen, but that didn't damper the wonderful time we had. Anthony was extremely prompt with his responses and very cordial. There's plenty of outdoor space on the lower level and many seating options for all. The outside shower was perfect. All three bedrooms were furnished beautifully and the living room was comfortable and spacious. We really enjoyed the back deck and hung out there after a relaxing day on the beach. I would definitely recommend Candice Cove for fellow beach lovers.

This house was the perfect getaway for 4 adults and 2 small children. Older house with tons of character and very clean. Awesome bar/hangout area underneath as well! Great location that isnt busy and we had the beach all to ourselves. Anthony was in contact with us through the week with anything we needed for our stay!

The location was great. Mop bucket was left in the kitchen, the kitchen was old and hard to cook thanksgiving lunch. Bathrooms were not clean, sand in some of the beds. This home should have been taken off the rental list with damages from recent storm

Perfect Vacation Spot

My family was very impressed with our stay at Candice Cove. It was extremely clean and the owner went the extra mile and had toilet paper, paper towels, soap, first aid kits, and even more amenities you may need. The location could not have been better! The beach in front of the property felt like our own oasis as it was not crowded and so convenient to the house. My entire family agreed it was one of our favorite vacations ever :)
