Fine property, strange experience
The property is very comfortable and a great location. When we arrived, we noticed the door was unlocked and upon closer inspection, realized the sliding (and ONLY) door didn’t have a lock at all. We contacted the owner and were told that the handle was broken 2 days prior, and they “did their best” to replace the handle, but acknowledged that they knew the door wouldn’t lock from the outside. I let them know the door also did not lock from the inside, and they literally told me to look for a stick to jam in the door. Wildly unacceptable, and since the upstairs couldn’t be secured, our choices were to only use the downstairs or not leave the property the entire vacation. A very bizarre experience. The home itself, assuming they fixed the door, is lovely, but the unprofessionalism was truly shocking.

Okay for the Most Part
Be prepared for very close quarters. It’s smaller than we imagined, and we were prepared for small. Updates inside are nice, and yes, the outside needs some TLC. I would have liked the interior to be tad cleaner when we arrived, but basically it was okay. Being on the beach, you can’t beat the location. However, I would opt for larger and newer on the other side of the street next time—especially with small children. This property would be best for two couples or families with older kids. I will say, however, the host was very responsive when we reached out.

Great Home in a Great Location
This house was perfect for us. We came to town to open the Christmas Store Downtown and it was a close proximity which was great. Being Oceanfront to enjoy the ocean breezes from the deck was perfect after the long work days. The space was great. Highly recommend.

This is our second time staying here and we’ll definitely be back! It’s such a great location. Even on a holiday weekend, the place felt quiet and the beach was not crowded. It was a hot weekend, so the under deck area was a great retreat from the for the kids to play. And the upper deck is great for evenings in the summer. It was so nice to see the beach and sunrise from the deck. Great stay!

Perfect getaway!!
Was staying in town for a wedding and didn’t want to get 4 hotel rooms for family. This was perfect!! Right on beach, not expensive, and had all the amenities you would need. Very clean and inside is very up to date. Owners responded very quickly to any questions we had. 2 minute walk to restaurants and bar.

Amazing
I was so happy with this property. We LOVED everything about it. The only thing we weren’t aware of is there are no inside stairs to downstairs. So it’s actually like two apartments instead of one house. We were going to put the kids down there but being so young, we weren’t comfortable without stairs. Not a huge deal at all. It was perfect in every other way! We will be booking again!

Enjoyable vacation location
Overall our stay was good. Location was great. Right on the beach over the dune with a private walk way. Close to restaurants/bars with live music and a convenience store, beach shops and rentals, mini golf and a kids playground all in walking distance. It is also just a short drive do the downtown with lots of shops and restaurants. The property is well prepared for guests and we'll stocked. It is clear the owner wants guests to enjoy their stay. That said, the cleaning service left something to be desired. The floors were not clean at all with crumbs, sand and pet hair so we had to clean thoroughly. Also, the duvet covers on the beds appeared as though they had never been washed. We had to wash all bedding before we were comfortable sleeping in the beds and this literally lightened the color of the duvet covers multiple shades. That said, I think this is on the cleaning service and the property manager should pay close attention to the job they are doing. Once cleaned, the house was great.

Wonderful accomodations! Great sunrise view!
Wonderful surprise! The view from the deck was amazing! Watched the sunrise every morning! It is beautifully decorated. It is not only ocean front but it is so close to Main Street Park and Fort Clinch State park. Also it is close to Historic Fernandino Beach shopping and dining. Communication with host was great! We actually stayed another day! Can not wait to visit again! Comfy beds made it a restful stay!

We had a great stay here, the place has everything you need and more. Plenty of linens and kitchen ware for the whole crowd. The location is wonderful, you can hear and see the ocean from the back sliding doors. There are 2 nice bars/restaurants within a very short walk. When we come back into the area we would love to stay again.

A great little find!
Our family and doodles enjoyed this property! The owners supplied many needed items with the house and the large fenced in deck was perfect for dogs. The beds were very comfortable! The house is old- therefore, naturally musty; however, not enough to keep us from coming back!

What a view!
This house was right on the beach with a gorgeous view of the ocean. I was concerned from the photos that there was no central air, but the ac units kept it very cool on hot days. It has two separate two-bedroom units, upstairs is the only one with a view. Well stocked with plenty of towels. Very clean. Would absolutely stay here again. Great access to a quiet section of beach, there is a short path directly outside.

Beautiful beach. Very convenient area (2 restaurants within walking distance). Nice bedrooms and kitchen. Only negatives were no inside access to bottom floor rooms and laundry, and the view. While it is right on the other side of the dune, we love to sit on the deck and watch the beach, but we were looking at the back of the dune.

Beach stay
The house was actually two separate spaces. Although is able to sleep 12, would be very tight with that many. There is a run-down house in front of this unit, which we thought at first was what we rented. Glad to figure out we were looking at the wrong building. Loved the outdoor porch but not crazy about having to go outside to get from upper and lower parts of the house. Also when we got there we had to fold a load of 3 sets of sheets that had been left in the dryer. That’s what we pay the cleaning fee for right?

Perfect location!
The property was exactly as described in the listing. The owner did a nice job with the indoor renovations. The outside upper deck could use a little work. We had some toddlers with us and needed to block the edges. There was a net along the top deck railing that was not secured, and any small child could have easily fallen through. Still giving 5 stars though as this property had everything we needed. It is a short walk away to 2 great restaurants, Salt Life and Sandbar, and a short drive away from downtown. The 2 bedrooms downstairs do not have closet spaces, but we were able to store luggage under the beds. There are plenty of beach and bath towels for use as well as a few beach chairs. Each room has its own wall mount AC that worked really well. We would stay here again!

Perfect little place for us!
Perfect location, great view, beautifully decorated and updated. Lots of kitchen stuff and towels. The beach chairs and umbrella were perfect. The only issues we had were the 2 queen beds downstairs. They are very high from the ground. Could actually use a small step stool to get in and out of bed. But, on the plus side, the beds and pillows were very comfy and smelled good. The gate latch to the upstairs deck was a little wonky and our 9 pound dogs could fit through the slats. All in all, we were all very pleased with the place and felt like we were at home. Had a great time. Thank you!
