Oceanfront - Enjoy the view & beautiful beaches!

The Captain's House - Beautiful oceanfront condo perfectly located on the north end of Amelia Island. Our backyard is the beach! Our condo is a southeast corner unit on the ground floor with two bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom has a new King mattress and an ensuite bath, and the secondary bedroom has a queen bed with a twin trundle. There is a desk for teleworking in the primary bedroom. The living room has a queen-size sofa bed.

There is a private deck area for enjoying a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a good book. Watch for dolphins right from the deck! Or look for shark's teeth and seashells as you stroll along the shoreline. When you return, you can rinse your feet in the conveniently located boardwalk shower.
There is a full washer & dryer and a stocked kitchen. If you would like to bring or rent a bike, there are bike racks out front. We provide two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and beach towels. There are both standard and Keurig coffee pots.

Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach is just one mile away. You can drive or even ride a bike. Fort Clinch State Park is a short walk or bike ride away, and you can travel back in time while you explore the pristine Civil War-era fort. There are biking and hiking trails and great spots for fishing throughout the park. Just north of the Captain's House are Main Beach, the Sand Bar, and Salt Life restaurants, as well as mini-golf and a skate park. Amelia Island has an amazing assortment of top-rated restaurants and almost any type of cuisine you can imagine. Please let us know if you would like recommendations.

Antiquing in some of Amelia's antique shops is a popular activity for our guests as is strolling in the quaint Victorian downtown area.
A short boat trip to Cumberland Island, a place famous for its wild horses and the church where John F. Kennedy Jr. was married, is a treat. There are daily tours, hikes, fishing, and other activities. There are many other activities throughout Amelia Island such as miniature golf, local playhouses, concerts, museums, kayaking, biking, tennis, pickleball, petanque, golf, and fishing. There really is something for everyone!

Super location! Clean, spacious property.

Can’t beat being right on the beach! Really nice condo. Roomy, quiet, modern. Close to everything on Amelia Island. Having washer and dryer was great. Outdoor shower was convenient and necessary to keep sand out of condo.Place was very clean except for stains on sheets. Be sure let host know right away or you can be charged! Beds were decent. Some hangers in closets would be nice - there were only 6 for the 2 bedrooms. A cleaning product would be nice to have. Also, a binder with important things to know would also be nice. The area between the gate and the back of property had some broken glass and a nail and since we saw folks walking barefoot there we picked it up.Pretty area, got to see dolphins almost daily. Beach super clean! Didn’t see 1 piece of trash in 6 days!

My September 2024 stay

You enter the unit through a long, narrow hallway, past two adequate bedrooms and a bathroom, into a small, austere dining / living room / kitchen area, with bright ceiling lighting and mostly bare white walls. It was not my cup of tea.

Great location, cozy beach getaway

The condo was in a great location! Steps away from the beach. The condo was super cute and cozy inside. The bedrooms were large and have comfortable beds. The location is pet friendly as we traveled with our small dog. The beach is right out the back door. I was able to walk the dog on the beach. The town is super cute and historic looking. We ate many local restaurants and there is a spot where you can park on the beach with a great restaurant. The salty pelican was excellent also. This coastal town is super charming and the beach still has a lot of natural beauty to it and doesn’t feel over developed. This is a beautiful location and the condo is in great location with easy access to the city and the beach. We did find a few shark teeth during our stay also. Please note there is a coffee maker but no keurig so plan accordingly. The couch is comfortable and there is a dining room. The other living room chairs are not the most comfortable but they are functional and most people are going to be enjoying the beach and not hanging out in the living room. I definitely recommend the captain’s house especially for families traveling with their dog.

Location, location, location!!

The location to the beach can't be beat!! No long walk on a boardwalk here, literally maybe 5 steps total & 10 ft of boardwalk, then your toes are in the sand!! The drawbacks to this condo is that it has not been updated maybe ever. The main bedroom bathrrom shower could use new caulking if nothing else. I can't stand not having a clean looking shower. The matresses aren't great & need new pillows. If you are looking for any semblance of ambiance, you won't find it in this unit. It really could be super nice if the owners spent a little money to update it. Again, view & location go a long way, but for indoor, rainy days, comfy furnishings would be a plus! This an investment, invest & you'd get 5 stars every time!
