Family retreat
Blueberry Dunes is a dog friendly family retreat perfect for fun times and lasting memories. Come enjoy a 1940s beach cottage that has been completely renovated with that goal in mind. Blueberry Dunes efficiently accommodates large groups and provides lots of fun indoor and outdoor activities all within 300 steps to the beautiful oceanfront and just two miles from fun filled downtown Fernandina Beach with its many fine restaurants, art galleries, great shopping, waterfront docks, historic architecture, bus and boat tours, mini-golf and much more.
Between the 4 BR, 4 bath main house and the fully renovated pool house, with its own full bathroom and kitchen/laundry, Blueberry Dunes has plenty of sleeping options for your party. Outdoor activities include a 15’ x 30’ foot inground saltwater pool surrounded by a 1200 S.F. area paved with cool touch pavers. The pool deck has outdoor games including connect 4, corn hole, and bocce, lots of room for sunbathing, hot/cold water shower and an adjacent fire pit with plenty of seating for a fun family gathering in the evenings. The pool has a convertible basketball/volleyball set, as well as plenty of floaty options.
Out front we have created a sandy volleyball or badminton area for outdoor fun. With two natural gas grills, enjoy a family cook-out on the large 12’ x 23’ second story ocean facing deck with distant ocean views or bring your cookout to the pool deck which has its own gas grill.
Relax and cool down in the heated and cooled pool house with two sliding doors leading out to the pool deck. The pool house has a full bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen with a large refrigerator, gas oven and stackable W/D. Currently two day beds are set up in the pool house. Also in the pool house are a foosball and ping pong table along with a sitting area and 50” flat screen T.V. Pool house floors are finished concrete so don’t worry about wet sandy feet.
In the main house, for convenience we gave each bedroom its own efficient full bathroom with 32” x 48” shower. Three bedrooms have king beds, and one has a queen/twin XL bunk bed with a twin trundle. All 4 bedrooms have 32” wall mounted TVs. The upstairs living room has a 50” TV and a large sectional couch that turns into a King bed. Downstairs has a seating area with a 65” TV, washer/dryer and kitchenette/wet bar. Approximate square footage of the main house is 1650 S.F. and the pool house is approximately 520 S.F.
Blueberry Dunes has high speed internet, cable TV with Xfinity, 100+ channels and many board games for family game nights.

Great family vacation rental

Perfect place for us and our adult children and families to stay together for beach and family time. Large driveway, proximity to beach and restaurants, well stocked kitchen, king sized beds, games & activities, and baby supplies all made it a great rental for our large family. We wished we knew the pool wasn't heated as it was quite chilly during the week we were there (last week in March).

Great Location

House is 100% as advertised. You cannot beat the location. Across the street from the beach and close to several beach bars and restaurants. Quick 5 minute uber ride to main drag with more eating options. Mark was highly communicative and answered any questions that we had. I would rent from him again! Great spot for a guys weekend

Family vacation

We loved the property. It was spacious and very clean and well maintained. The pool was wonderful. My two adult kids and their friends had a great time along with our two dogs. The backyard was fenced so our fur babies had so much fun playing. With 5 adults in the party, we had plenty of space and “me” time. Definitely reserving this place again

About the host

Hosted by Seahorse Amelia Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
Regan and Mark Andrade are native New Yorkers. Mark was a lifeguard at Jones Beach on Long Island where he and Regan met in 1984 while strolling on the beach. The beach has always been close to our hearts and owning a home on the beach has always been a dream that we never thought would come true. We have three sons who are now grown up but we look forward to making some wonderful beach memories with many family get-togethers at the beach.

It has been great fun renovating Blueberry Dunes with fun, bright and beachy decor. We have put our hearts into making Blueberry Dunes a relaxing beach cottage with lots of fun activities that will inspire fun times and great family memories.

In 2018 we purchased Blueberry Dunes which at the time had not been lived in for 10 years. Since then we have been working on various plan options - finally settling on connecting the up and downstairs with a staircase addition and converting the garage into a finished pool house/living space. The past three years have involved carrying out that plan using a GC for the big items but also doing lots of the work ourselves. We installed all the flooring, bathroom and kitchen cabinetry, showers and many other finishing items. It has been a long haul and lots of long weekends but we finally have a beautiful 1940s renovated beach cottage ready for you to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This neighboorhood is right in the middle of the fun filled Main Beach Park area with the lifeguarded beaches and several great restautrants. It is only a two mile walk or drive to fun filled Fernandina Beach downtown. It is still a family neighboorhood with a mix of private homes, vacation rental homes and a number of hotels.

What makes this property unique

We put a lot of thought into creating a retreat with lots of fun activities and the ability to host large groups. Thus, we added the pool with a large deck and converted the garage into a fully furnished pool house with full kitchen and bathroom. We created the volleyball court out front and the fire pit on the pool deck. Future plans are to add a hot tub adjacent to the pool deck. We have lots of outdoor games: connect 4, cornhole, bocce ball, pool basketball/volleyball. Each bedroom has its own bathroom (5 total) so large groups getting ready to go out will not take forever. Basically having fun was at the forefront of every decision we made for Blueberry Dunes.
