Cottage w/ marsh view and dock, 10-15 min to beach

Wake up to beautiful views of the marsh! The Cozy Crab Yulee can be used as a fishing getaway or a quiet place to relax! You might see dolphins, manatees, sea turtles or marsh birds. Located on 0.7 private, shaded acres. Amenities include a fire pit, full kitchen, internet, cable, fishing poles, crab trap, bait bucket and washer/dryer. A 10-15 min drive to Amelia Island beaches. 2 adults/2 kids max.

Our guests have told us how much they enjoy the sunrises in the morning, watching the birds and fishing/crabbing. Note: we have about a 6-8 foot tide swing from low tide to high tide. Even at low tide the floating dock is on deep water but this is the best time to usually watch the birds and other wildlife! Guests have caught a wide variety of fish including, but not limited to: flounder, sheepshead, redfish, trout, and bottom fish like catfish, stingrays and little sharks! Guests have also enjoyed catching blue crabs in the crab trap.
Nearby points of interest include:
Amelia Island Beaches - 10-15 min drive
Jacksonville Airport - 25-30 min
Centre Street/Downtown Fernandina Beach Shops and Restaurants - 15 min
Bridge to Amelia Island - 5 min
Multiple Breweries and a Distillery - About 6 different choices within 2-15 min

Bring your boat or even an RV (no water/sewer connections on site) to keep on the property. Note: we do have a boat lift and boat but it is for owner's use only; however, you can dock your boat on our floating dock. We do recommend not coming or going from the dock in your boat until at least 2 hours before and after low tide due to a few sand bars on the way out to the main channel. We can provide a map of how to get to and from the channel.

We have wonderful neighbors so we ask that you not have any parties and not have any more than 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs, unless approved by us ($50 total pet fee). Please also make sure the person booking is the person staying (if it is different please disclose to us).
We have a Blink camera at the front and back doors which will be on and recording during all stays. Cameras point toward the front entry/parking area and dock areas. There are no interior cameras.

Guests will have access to the house, dock and fire pit on property. The 2 storage sheds on the property, the boat lift, boat and a storage bench in the laundry room are for owners use. Parking is available on the gravel pad in front of the house.
We live down the street from the cottage but will not be on property unless an issue arises.

Please, no swimming from the dock due to constantly moving tides and oyster beds. If you bring your own kayak or boat, just let us know and we will give you instructions on how to navigate the channels.
Please note, our cottage is on a well and septic system with a large aerator and water softener system for the water.

We were looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway for a few days, and we found exactly what we wanted at the Cozy Crab. The cabin was clean, well-supplied and quiet, and we were able to sit by the water each morning and enjoy the sunrise. And although the cabin has a remote feeling to it, there are plenty of places to explore and restaurants to enjoy just a few miles away. When we checked in, we had a minor question regarding the satellite tv, but Scott and Ashley immediately assisted us which gave us peace of mind knowing that they responded so quickly. We look forward to staying at the Cozy Crab again.

Perfect Retreat

We had the most amazing time while staying at "The Cozy Crab"! The water views are out of this world, and the set up has been so well thought out by the owners. Even though it's a smaller place, it feels big when there with the layout, outdoor amenities, and just everything that was given so much intentional thought by the owners. We had the most amazing time, and will DEF be back to visit again!!

Great little cottage!

We had a lovely stay at the Cozy Crab. It's perfect for a couple or small family. We enjoyed sitting on the water-front screened-in porch and waking up to stunning sunrises. It's a 15 - 20 minute driving distance to St. Fernandina and the Amelia Island Coast. Thank you!

Great cottage with boating access.

The Cozy Crab was a great spot for our spring break getaway. The sunrise and marsh views are excellent. The kids enjoyed catching fish and crabbing off the dock. The deep water creek access for our 25’ boat made it easy to get to all the nearby towns, beaches and restaurants just a short boat ride away. Scott and Amy are great host, making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Can’t wait to visit again.

Ashley and Scott were so amazing with all of our questions and needs for our stay. The place itself was AMAZING. Clean, organized, well furnished and thoughtful little touches made it so special. That dock though! We spent every day on that amazing dock and saw all kinds of sealife swim by! Not really important but a huge plus we’re the really friendly neighbors happy to suggest restaurants and places to see!

Perfect for us!

The Cozy Crab is an adorable studio cabin on the St. Mary’s River with a large fenced in lot. This was perfect for our two very active shepherds that travel with us everywhere. The cabin was fully stocked for all our needs and most definitely exceeded our expectations. We wish we had more time to fish as there were quite a lot of fish jumping around out there. We also saw dolphins every day!Ashley & Scott your place is quite cozy indeed and cute as a button! Loved sipping a cup of coffee looking at the beautiful sunrise (see pic). Thanks for having us!

I booked this place as a quick little get away for my husband and I as we only live an 1 hr and a half from here. We both absolutely Love to fish so I thought this looked like a cozy little place for us to slip off and do just that. This place was nothing less than PERFECT for us. If you are looking for fancy then this one is not for you however I am always looking for that simple little unique place for us and I definitely hit a home run with this one.. Ashley was a great host!! We will be returning to this one ❤️
