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.

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.

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.

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.

Worst VRBO Ever

Candice Cove is the worst Vrbo rental we have ever encountered! The Host contacted us just hours before we were to arrive to let us know Half the house was under construction due to storm damage!!! We didn’t have time to find another place!!! The house was full of mold!!! Dirty! Sheets smelled !! The house was uneven and the floors sagged! Couldn’t use the whole downstairs or the outside courtyard! Trash was thrown on both sides of home and huge construction was going on in front of property. We left on the 3rd day! Host only refunded us 300.00 when we requested a full refund! I will be informing VRBO! He could have notified us in November that the house was damaged.. but waited until hours before arriving!

Location

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

Loved our stay!

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!

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 :)

Love this owner and property

This is the second time we have rented this property and have already booked it again for next year. You can't beat the oceanfront location. The wide beach is just steps from the door and was never crowded, even on the weekends. Although the house is small it is well appointed. It contains everything you need for a lovely beach vacation and is always very clean upon arrival. Anthony, the owner, is very responsive without being intrusive. Just a terrific property. We are already looking forward to next year.

We loved our stay at your beach house. It was clean, well decorated, had comfortable beds, great views and close beach access. We enjoyed the porch, deck and back patio with the outside shower. So much room to relax and enjoy the beautiful area with our pup. We also liked the historical books and cookbook re America Beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We couldn’t have asked for a better location! This charming beach house is right on the beach, 1 mile beach walk to the Omni and 1.75 mile beach walk to The Ritz. Our kids were spoiled by the accessibility to the beach - so convenient to come back to eat lunch, use the facilities, etc. We had plenty of room for our party of five. The next time we are on Amelia Island, we will be staying here!

Location is everything in my opinion when going to the beach. This rental location was perfect. Waking up to the sunrises daily and being a walk over the dune to the ocean was exactly what this Colorado family needed!
