I love this motel! It is in a perfect location on the beach. The staff is very responsive. The beach is clean and quieter than other areas. The motel itself is very comfortable and spacious in the room I was in. This is the second time I have stayed here. I would absolutely stay here again!

There is not one negative thing about this motel that I can say. Location was right on the beach, the room was updated and very clean, the pool was pristine, the snacks and coffee were plentiful and the staff was so friendly and personable. Loved this stay and when we return we will be sure to reserve ahead of time.

We really enjoyed our three nights staying for the first time as this small property on the beach. Hotel management & staff we interacted with were very friendly & helpful, responding quickly to any needs or questions. Although the rooms are basic, amenity wise, ours was quiet, comfortable & clean. We were surprised that the room had a mini fridge, so that was a plus for keeping snacks & bevs on hand. Also, centrally located on A1A, so very convenient for exploring the beaches & parks in the area. About ten minutes from downtown Fernandina Beach, with its nice restaurants, shops & bars. We came for a concert at the recently opened Tigre Island Room, a really nice live music venue downtown on 2nd St. We loved the budget friendly price! I expect to stay again, next time we come to beautiful Amelia Island, hopefully very soon.

Room was very nice and appeared to the been redone recently, very comfortable. Ocean is a short walk beyond the dunes, so we had a great beach walk. Too cool to use the pool but it looked inviting for another day. We actually prefer a place without a "free" breakfast and found a fantastic place to eat in Fernandina where there are lots of options.

We arrived on Christmas Day, and staff had cleverly arranged for us to get into our room while they were off; we registered the following morning when they were back in the office. They had left a tin of cookies in the room as a welcome/holiday gift, which was very kind of them. The room was somewhat basic, but we had everything we needed. The beds were comfy, the shower was refreshing, and the room was spotlessly clean. We ran into a bit of a snag registering the next morning, as my husband went to the Front Office while I finished getting ready. I had made the booking, and his name is different from mine. He was a bit put out by having to produce my ID as well as his (another trip back to the room, not a big deal IMO). Then, although he signed to show he had read and agreed to the rules of the motel, he said they made him listen to them READ them to him, too. That was a bit over the top, we thought. (We are 70+ years old and pretty tame.) There is a walk directly out to the beach that is great, even in the winter on a mild day. I have since recommended the motel to others twice already, and we would definitely return if back in the area. I did deduct one star because of the Front Desk experience (I would have only taken off half a star if I could have). While I understand why the innkeepers might reiterate the rules, it negates the favorable impression the cookies made and the motel in general. Perhaps they could consider taking the rules thing down a notch.

Although the property is older, it is well-maintained and we had an ocean view room that was amazing because you had a full view of the ocean! The value was good! And location awesome! If you’re on a budget and like good value in a comfy place to stay, this is your place
