Charming beach cottage

This is one of the best vacation rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Location was perfect-right on the beach and a quick drive to the charming downtown. House was impeccably decorated, beds and couches were super comfy and everything you would need was supplied for you-this place is 10/10!

We had another lovely stay at Healing House! This place has become so special to our family and is now a summer tradition. The owners have done a wonderful job updating this amazing home.

Wonderful family getaway

We loved our time at the Healing House! The location can’t be beat- we had a toddler and an infant, and were able to conveniently run back to the house from the beach as needed. The property is gorgeous and the soaking tub was so relaxing! We were also able to fit our travel crib in the main bedroom comfortably, something we’re not always able to do. There are tons of beach toys, coffee, and all the amenities one would need for an excellent vacation. Thanks to the owners for a smooth check in process and wonderful stay!

Great Location with charm

Great location. Easy access to beach. Perfect view from the deck. Back from the road enough that it is quiet during the day and very quiet at night. Short drive to downtown shops and restaurants. Several very good restaurants less than 5 minutes away. Cozy interior, nicely decorated. Good quality linens and towels. Recently updated bathroom. Well equipped kitchen.

Cozy, Quaint and Relaxing

This cottage is a feast for the eyes. The decor is so delicious and inviting. We had everything we needed for our short stay. The views are magnificent and it felt very private despite neighboring homes being close by. Walks along the ocean were so peaceful. Ariane was quick to respond to questions and was the consummate host. Other than the claw tooth tub being a challenge for my husband who has knee issues we could not have had a better vacation!

Here Comes the Sun!

This beautiful cottage was the perfect place for five friends to celebrate 60 years of life, and over 50 years of friendship. The decor of the place is lovely, and the location can’t be beat - the ocean is right out the back door! We got up early each morning, made our coffee, and headed to the beach to watch the sun rise. One morning we were lucky enough to see three dolphins playing in the water! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful beach experience. The home is clean, beautifully appointed, and in a great location. Restaurants are just a short walk away, and the quaint downtown area (with great shopping) can be reached in minutes by car. Quite honestly, this place is the perfect “home away from home!”

Wonderful & relaxing

This was our first family vacation.This house was not only beautiful, but It felt relaxing & like home. The beds were comfortable & we slept great. The proximity to the store, things to do & places to eat was fantastic. Loved that the beach was right out the door which makes it so easy, especially if it starts to rain. Low tide was our favorite in the evenings, it turns into a giant splash pad. My only suggestion to anyone coming, is to pack water shoes that would have made the Shelly beach easier to navigate, especially for the kids. It’s absolutely beautiful. Shells galore & we even found some shark teeth. Owners were amazing & quick to respond to messages & questions. We loved downtown & on Saturdays they have a wonderful farmers market. You definitely won’t regret your stay here. We will definitely come back in the future. Thanks so much for having us. It was a great way to honor my Mom’s life on her one year anniversary in Heaven.

Girlfriends with kids getaway

This was my second time staying at this lovely home. Every detail is well thought out from the fact that while you’re showering, you can still see the kids playing in the ocean to the hammock downstairs so that when you’re having your morning coffee, you can lay and relax and listen to the waves. I walked the beach each morning for an hour just before and at sunrise. It was the most magical time! I even saw a sea turtle nest before any human had ever seen it. It was so incredible. I was able to see the tracks and find the nest before the sun even rose. On my way back to the house, the volunteers had come and found it and were marking it. They said it was third best of season. I saw deer tracks and pellets one morning walk and a bunny in dunes behind cottage. I could not have enjoyed myself more and our children made the downstairs hammock area their playground. I wish I could live here every day. Thank you for sharing your home.

Relaxing week on Amelia Island

This home is in an ideal location, close to Fort Clinch State Park and plenty of dining and shopping options within just a few miles. The house sits back from the road just a bit, which made it so quiet and peaceful compared with other homes we've rented in this area. The owners have been very thoughtful in equipping the home with extra amenities that are usually not provided to renters. Bed linens, bath towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, soap, laundry detergent and DVDs were all provided for our use. We even had to use the first aid kit and were so pleasantly surprised to see it was fully stocked with no expired items. The kitchen is also well-equipped. It would be nice to have one empty cabinet for renters to store groceries but that was the only minor inconvenience. The owners communicated well with us and made check-in so easy. The home is right on the beach and we found many shark teeth during our stay. The home was spotless except for the shower, which could use a good scrubbing. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us. We will definitely plan to return next time we visit Amelia Island!

Host profile image
Mark and I love this picture as it was taken in Fernandina Beach about 8 years ago now when we were really enjoying everything about Amelia Island. We decided to buy our beautiful home on Amelia Island because this wonderful place has always brought good times for us. We began our expeditions to Amelia Island as resident medical doctors in 1999, looking for a vacation get away and landed only a few blocks north of our current home to enjoy all that Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island has to offer. We fell in love with the historic community of Fernandina Beach. We are so happy to share Amelia Island and the wonderful town of Fernandina Beach with our Guests. Everything about this whole place is magical. Enjoy!
