About this property

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. 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!

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. 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.

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.
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.

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!

A little slice of heaven

This little "cabin" was just perfect for my getaway with my pups. Even though they didn't deliver on the Florida sunshine I ordered (just kidding), the location, view and amenities more than made up for the rainy and windy days!

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.

Just right for fishing

The owners Scott and Ashley went above and beyond to help my husband have a nice few days fishing with a few of our grandchildren. If there was one complaint it was the room where the bunk beds are was warm. Otherwise a perfect place to relax.. fish and enjoy the peaceful surroundings We plan to come back. This time I plan to go!! My husband Greg said it was perfect!

Cozy Crab Forever!

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!

Couples get away

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 ❤️

Lovely

This place immediately makes you slow down and observe. You can sit inside and with the view you feel like you’re outside. But making it down to the end of the dock is where all the beauty is. We watched the sunrise every morning and they all were so different. Next time we’re for sure going to rent a boat. And there definitely will be a next time. This is one of those unique setups that you will go out of your way to make happen again and again. And the hostess….. lovely as well. And very accommodating and available. Such a quaint place and unique experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley and Scott Powell

Host profile image
We have lived in the Yulee/Fernandina Beach area for 17+ years. We have four school aged kids who enjoy fishing, crabbing and hanging by the firepit.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the property and have been using it as a place to enjoy the water and outdoors with our family. From our dock we have seen manatees, dolphins (sometimes within a few feet of the floating dock), sea turtles, a sea otter and of course lots of marsh birds. We hope you enjoy it as much as our family has. Sometimes we like to go out there just to sit on the dock and enjoy the view and wildlife.
