Where are we located?
Buccaneer Bungalow is on Buccaneer Trail, formerly known as Canopy Road. It is shaded by large beautiful live oaks hundreds of years old! Though it is a through street, it is one lane each way and road noise is minimal (especially during the evenings and nights). There are many beautiful homes nearby. It is a very safe and quiet neighborhood and properties are well-maintained. Buccaneer Bungalow has a large enclosed backyard with natural beauty, just a few hundred feet from the Amelia River and only 1 mile from the Beach! (w/ sidewalks all the way!). Other close attractions include a Harris Teeter and shopping center with many services and restaurants. There are both public and private beaches very close by, including Peters Point, The Ritz, The Omni & Summer Beach. It's a lovely part of the Island and we know you'll enjoy it!

Parking and Getting Around :
Guests can walk, bike or drive to the beach (less than 1 mile away!). Most guests drive to get around the island in general. Parking is ample at our home (about 4 vehicles). There is also a boathouse that can be rented for a small fee (please contact us). Throughout the island, Parking is typically available. There are also sidewalks and biketrails in the neighborhood and throughout most of the island. It's a lovely place to ride! Many locals use golf-carts to scoot around town and there are also rentals available for guests. All public beaches provide parking and some offer drive-on but require 4-wheel-drive.

Ample parking for 4 vehicles in the garden circle in front, plus at least 1 vehicle in the garage.

We do not charge for pets but do have limits. We provide some extras for pets as well so please let us know if you do bring your furry friends! :)

We do allow events upon request. Large events may require an additional fee.

We have one security camera in the garage, built into the power unit. No other security cameras on property.

Let us know if you have further questions! :)

Perfect retreat

We were a group of four adults who enjoyed everything about the house and yard. It is clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. Even though on a 'main' road it is in a quiet area. We plan on staying there again.

Buccaneer Bungalow -- best VRBO experience we've ever had

We were on Amelia Island and the Jacksonville area for our son's wedding weekend. We needed a place that was easy to access, had all the amenities (and updated, nice amenities, I might add) and could accommodate 4-5 couples. Buccaneer Bungalow checked all those boxes and then some. First, the open kitchen leading into the open living room with plenty of seating and a huge kitchen island gave us a place to congreate in the mornings and at night -- perfect for big groups who want more time interacting. Just off the kitchen is the screen in patio. I'm the Dad of this group and had work to do, so the screened in patio was a perfect office space to get away but still see what's going on inside. The bathrooms/showers are relatively newly remodeled, so their big, bright and luxurious. Same with the kitchen and appliances.The location was great, too. We're runners and wanted to run on the beach in the mornings. I didn't measure the distance exactly, but there was an easy mile or so run through a neighborhood before we were on the beach. We got in 4 mile runs each morning and that's just about perfect for us. We are also eaters, and once again the location was great. We were just minutes drive from historic Fernandina Beach with all of its great restaurants and bars.Finally, the owner/manager/host Brian was outstanding. Not too much, not too little. As the title of this review says, this was the best rental experience ever.

Very special family reunion at a wonderful spot

We enjoyed our stay at Buccaneer Bungalow. We appreciated the number of spaces that were available for us to gather both inside and out the well appointed property. The Ping Pong table, barbeque, swing, games, firepit - all added to our family fun. We even used the bikes to ride along the beach. The spacious and open front room/ dining/ kitchen area was wonderful for our large gathering. Kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dishes for eating. There was plenty of room for parking and easy accessibility to the beach and groceries. The owner was very responsive and considerate. The home provided a welcome for us all.

Weekend with Old friends

The house worked well for 6 men who travel annually for a NFL football game. The Amelia Island location was terrific to enjoy the home, screened in porch, backyard and the very well appointed kitchen to cook. We were thrilled to be within a 20 minute walk to the Atlantic ocean and use the 4 beach bikes for those who preferred. The beach equipment - belly boards, chairs, etc. made it fun for all of us. In October we had the beach to ourselves even though it was 80+ degrees every day. We also enjoyed the more laid back vibe of Fernandina Beach with its restaurants and cocktail bars which are a short drive. Brian was an awesome host. Very responsive, helpful and willing to assist in any way. Thank you!!

Perfect getaway in a beautiful home

We loved our stay at Brian’s place in Amelia Island. It was immaculate and clean with everything you’d need during your stay. We loved the big open kitchen and spent every night on the sun porch. Close to everything and would love to stay here again in the future.

Spacious and comfortable great location near Peter’s Point beach

We usually try for a beachfront property but discovered the Buccaneer Bungalow and very happy with our decision. Super clean, with a large open floor plan, that flows to the screened in porch. Furnishings are modern the kitchen and baths look new overall it’s a very cool vibe. Well stocked with entertainment options. Brian is a super host very responsive and accommodating. Location is great easy to downtown FB, beaches, airport and state parks. Peter’s Point park is walkable or take the bikes! Awesome hotdog truck one block over, a coffee shop and Harris Teeters also nearby. Coastal oaks shade the yard. Stop looking, book the Buccaneer Bungalow!

So much space! Such great hosts!

This place was perfect for our group of five adults and could have easily handled nearly three times as many people. The open kitchen/dining/living areas gave us so much room to spread out. We loved the porch and the backyard. Tremendous location. Beautifully but functionally designed home. Just perfect in every way! Hosts were so helpful when we had some weather-related issues. 10 out of 10, would stay here again.

Perfection!

We rented Buccaneer Bungalow for the wedding of our niece. We are a challenging crew-- everything from teens to toddlers to adults, and there are a lot of us! Brian was super responsive to any question we had, so welcoming (let us check in early when we realized last minute we actually had to be at the rehearsal at 4pm!) and soooo easy to work with. The house is just as pictured and then some. Beautiful open kitchen and family room. Bathrooms are gorgeous. Super clean, super well stocked -- a bottle of wine to welcome us, COFFEE PODS FOR THE KEURIG!!???, books and toys for the kids (I'm not kidding, there is a dress up box with princess and pirate garb!), and a ping pong table beside the fire pit. There is literally something for everyone and the location was in walking distance to our beautiful venue. The owners also solicit feedback for how they can make their home more accommodating. I never leave reviews but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when we return to Amelia Island. This home and the owner are really excellent!

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager

Host profile image
We live in Virginia but have a long family history on Amelia Island! Brian's great great grandfather moved to Fernandina in the 1800's and there is still a 1908 Victorian in the family located in the Historic district. We love vacationing on the island and, as our family has grown, we needed more space. Rebuilding Buccaneer Bungalow and becoming a Host was a fun and affordable way to ensure we always have a place to stay when vacationing on the island! :)

Why they chose this property

Though our ancestors settled in the historic district of Fernandina, we've always love the southern part of the island. The winding roads and big live oaks dripping with Spanish moss were always an appeal. As it's become more developed, it's grown into the perfect place to vacation and host guests as well! We are located very close to well-maintained beaches, plenty of amenities and the Omni and Ritz properties as well.

What makes this property unique

It's rare to find this much property so close to the beach that provides both privacy and serenity. The trees and foliage, especially in the backyard (backing up to the Amelia river) are all favorite guest features. The boathouse and firepit come in handy as well. Come see why we maintain a 5 star rating over 2 years of hosting!
