Yearly fishing trip
Every year my husband and I go fishing with my daughter’s family. Found this spot a couple of years ago, and was lucky enough to snag both units this year. We had the 1 bedroom, they had the adjoining 2 bedroom - was perfection. Big deck for relaxing and dinning - private walkway to the beach - truly could not have asked for anything more perfect. Sadly we cannot book for next year, as it is already booked. Hosts were great to communicate with.

Pristine dunes and digs
Stellar experience at this remarkable location. Almost too good to be true but it is true. Everything you will need in comfort and style, tips for eateries and experiences. Ample linens, blankets and towels. Kitchen appliances and helps complete. Bright welcoming beachy decor, natural light, slider doors and huge patio outdoor furnishings. The ocean is calling, sea gulls screeching, pelicans plunge, gopher turtles sun themselves. Our spaniel was welcomed!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Platt

Host profile image
Jim and Brenda Platt - We are retired from long careers in telecommunications and have traveled extensively in the US and abroad. We've been many beautiful places but, to us, none are as beautiful as Amelia Island. The island still has the small town feel and people are friendly and helpful. Nature thrives on Amelia!

Why they chose this property

Amelia Island is a unspoiled barrier island with pristine beaches, thrilling wildlife and the most charming Victorian village in the South.

What makes this property unique

Quiet evenings with silver moonlit seas. Wonderful sunrises. Beach that is never crowded. Flocks of pelicans, waterbirds and dolphins. Our property is located in a residential area away from the commercial feel of condos and hotels.
