10 year anniversary visit
This location truly lives up to its name. It is located in a spot where you are close distance to local restaurants and shopping as well having plenty of places to walk your dog. Close to Fernandina Beach for some great mini golf. All around a spot my husband and I would visit again.

We loved staying here and being able to walk to the Cumberland Island ferry and restaurants. We did move the car all weekend. The house was very comfortable for my family. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean. We found the neighborhood quiet.

Great location and really comfy beds!
This place was perfect for my family of 4. We went to Cumberland island and it’s within walking distance of the ferry. We were also able to walk to a few restaurants for dinner and breakfast. The beds are so comfortable! We loved it!

Seashore Getaway
The location is stellar. A short walk to restaurants and shops as well as the ferry to the island and the park. The house is comfortably furnished and clean. All aspects of the house are functional although some updates would be nice.
