This charming cottage has a beautiful view with a large deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. No long walkway to the beach...just step into the sand from the deck.
Let the beautiful sunrise envelope you as you sip your morning coffee. In the evenings, spread a blanket and watch the stars as the waves splash beside you. It is rejuvenating for your body and soul!

Our Cottage by the Sea is a special retreat. We have enjoyed many vacations here and hope that you will find it as inviting as we have.

No matter where we travel, we long for our island oasis. We continue to discover new and exciting things to do.
From horse drawn carriage rides along the cobblestone streets of downtown Fernandina to segway excursions through the national parks to daytrips to Jacksonville's Zoo or Cumberland Island, there are many activities to keep you busy. We just seem to find that we prefer to head back to the Little Cottage by the Sea.

Quiet and Relaxing Experience

Our 5th stay at Amy’s Cottage by the Sea. The view of the ocean and dunes is awesome, even on the rare rainy day. The Cottage is clean and cozy and the location is unbeatable. With easy access to restaurants , the greenway and downtown shops. Our absolute favorite place to stay in Fernandina.

I felt there was too much email, texting. Most rentals come with a notebook giving details about use of tvs or funky light switches, restaurants, etc. this would have made many of the texts unnecessary. Perhaps others prefer frequent texts. I prefer to unplug on vacation. It was a lovely spot. Thanks.
