About this property

Newly Renovated Home w/ Pool and Golf Cart near the Resort - Close to Beach!

"Bubbles' Retreat"
Looking for a place to gather an extended family in a single home close to the beach with a private pool and hot tub close to the Omni resort of Amelia Island? Look no further.

This 5 bedroom / 4 bathroom house has gone through extensive renovations and is now ready for your vacation! We have removed walls to open up the area between the kitchen and the great room, as well as installed all new tile floors, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, as well as new stainless steel appliances and washer / dryer. Also there is a swimming pool and hot tub that has been newly installed. We have also fully renovated the master bathroom as well as new sinks / countertops / lighting for each of the other 3 bathrooms.

While close to the beach, our location is super private and secluded as we back onto a green wooded preserve but yet when quiet you can hear the ocean surf in the background. This quiet and peaceful location comes with expectations of our guests .... that NO LOUD NOISE OR DISTURBANCES will be permitted - of note:
- This is a RESIDENTIAL community with less than 4% single-family home rentals,
- This is not a “Party House” and renters need to be QUIET AND RESPECTFUL of their neighbors and their neighbors privacy, and
- There is a STRICT 10:00pm noise curfew.

Additionally, this home is an ideal Work from Home (WFH) destination with high speed fiber optic internet (1 Gig) and 6e wi-fi and places throughout the house so you can shelter in place and still get work done! Nearby to our house and on the island are both Harris Teeter and Publix supermarkets that now have grocery pickup as well as Walmart and Target super centers on the mainland.

Here's the sleeping arrangements by bedroom:

MASTER BEDROOM - 1 KING sized bed with attached bathroom - walk-in shower, dual vanity, and soaking tub. Also includes flat screen TV with cable. Sleeps 2.

2nd MASTER BEDROOM - 1 KING sized bed with attached bathroom - shower/tub combo and single vanity. Flat screen LED TV with cable. Sleeps 2.

3rd BEDROOM - 2 DOUBLE beds with attached bathroom - shower/tub combo and single vanity. Flat screen LED TV with cable. Sleeps 4 kids or 2 adults.

4th BEDROOM - 2 TWIN/SINGLE beds with attached bathroom - walk-in shower and single vanity. Located off of the great room/den and sliding glass door to pool and hot tub. Sleeps 2.

5th BEDROOM - 1 sleeper sofa just outside 1st Master Bedroom and shares that bathroom. Sleeps 1-2.

The layout of the house is conducive to large family gatherings - there is one large central, open plan area with a combined great room and kitchen. From that central area, all five bedrooms are located separately off of that open area - think of it like a hub and spoke.

Additionally we have six bikes (4 adult and 2 kid bikes) for your use and a four person "Bubbles" the golf cart for travel to the beach in about 3 minutes as well as throughout the resort community to restaurants and other activities.

While we are in the gated community where the Amelia Island Omni resort is located, we are not part of the Omni resort and its rental program, but there are still many opportunities for you to leverage the facilities. You have access to all of the restaurants at the hotel itself as well as anywhere on the resort premises, the tennis center, spa, miniature golf, and one of the golf facilities on the resort premises and numerous others golf courses on the island.

As part of our guest experience we provide a very detailed welcome email that provides all the things you need to know as well as things we like to do and recommend them to our guests. That includes our favorite restaurants in the area as well as activities you may be interested in doing!

We also have a universal Tesla Level 2 wall charger that can charge both Teslas (NACS plug) and non-Tesla vehicles (J1772 plug) up to 44 miles per hour of charge!

This vacation rental is fully furnished and equipped with everything you need to have a great beach and island vacation - this is the one spot you will come back to over and over again!

Amazing trip!

We had an amazing trip! Karl (the host) is super responsive. We were able to heat the pool for a small fee and the location of the home was absolutely perfect. The neighborhood is beautiful and we enjoyed riding around in the golf cart. Those scored big points with us- heated pool and golf cart. Another bid selling feature- two king beds. It’s tough to find a home with two kings. This was great because my parents came with us. We had four adults, a 2 year old and 10 month old. My only two complaints- there is no disposal in the kitchen and the dishwasher can be finicky. A couple mornings we woke up to find it had stalled out in the cleaning cycle sometime during the night. Overall, fantastic home and we can’t wait to go back!

Perfect house to stay with a group

The house was a perfect stay for our group. We had 6 adults and 3 infants/toddlers and had plenty of room. We liked that it was all on our floor and was also wheelchair friendly for one of our family members. The house was well stocked and everything was labeled and easy to find. The beach toys were nice to have for the kids. It was great to have a pool and golf cart as well. Karl was so responsive whenever we had questions. We would definitely book this property again!

Wonderful Week

This house was perfect for our family vacation. There were four families that stayed and plenty of room for everyone - the fact that every bedroom had its own bathroom is priceless. Pool is amazing and the kids enjoyed that more than the beach. Karl is very responsive to text which is also invaluable. Loved this house and looking to book for the future.

Super Multi-generational Hideaway

I echo the existing reviews. Lots of thoughtful touches like nightlights throughout. Kitchen is extremely well equipped.The grounds are very private and feel like a nature preserve. To Karl's list of restaurants, I would add Lagnaippe and Pogo's Kitchen - original, creative cuisine at both. Our family loved "Bubbles Beach Retreat"

Golf Hideaway

Beautiful home in a great location. We were four couples on a golf trip and this home was a hit with everyone! Owner was very attentive and responsive to any inquiries that we had. Check in process was a breeze and the home was very comfortable for our group. The only criticism I have is the four pan was too small for our group and we had to eat breakfast and shifts.

Great Family Vacation Home

The home was perfect for two families (4 adults, 5 kids). The pool was a great gathering point after a day of adventures. The property was clean, modern and well functioning appliances as well as very comfortable sleeping arrangements. Our only regret was that we didn't get the "lay of the land" sooner to find our way to resort amenities and beach access points sooner.

Wonderful stay in April

We had a great time at Karl’s home on Amelia Island. The location is perfect. The house has a great layout and was clean and well stocked. The pool, hot tub and outdoor area were amazing. And we enjoyed exploring the resort on the golf cart. We explored the historic downtown and many of the exceptional restaurants. We also loved the meal we got from the Outer Banks Shrimp Boil—we picked up our shrimp boil in a big pot and cooked it at the house. We can’t wait to return!

Karl is an excellent host who was extremely easy to work with and very communicative. The house was exactly as pictured and we loved using the pool and hot tub.

We had a wonderful time. The property is very pretty and very well-equipped. The neighborhood is a real pleasure to walk in, with its canopy roads.

On the whole, the experience delivered more than we expected.

just a bit disappointed

The pictures show the house a bit differently than it really was. The communication with the owner was excellent but the property itself needed some personal attention. It was not as clean as it should be especially the table tops, floor and windows. There was a problem with the pool filter system. We made the best of the vacation and had a great family time together. The beach was amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Karl

Host profile image
We have loved our vacations to Amelia Island over the years especially the Amelia Island Plantation resort with all of its amenities as well as the historic district, so we decided to purchase a home to enjoy the beach and all of the activities on the island.

Why they chose this property

When you drive up to the plantation and approach the canopy of oak trees and moss, your blood pressure drops and you feel like you are on vacation. At our home there is peaceful solitude, unquestionable natural beauty, sports activities, and great restaurants / night-time activities - all a short golf cart or bike ride away.

What makes this property unique

For us, proximity to the beach was key and once we found this house, we completely updated it - removing walls and opening up the area between the kitchen and then fully updating the kitchen and great room - new tile floors, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer, and all new flat screen LED TVs throughout. We have also put in high speed wi-fi internet (400MB) so you can easily access the internet.

This house can sleep 11 and is ideally suited to two families with a mix of adults and children. The way the house is laid out it is great for gathering in the main central area or retreating to the solitude and quiet of your own bedroom. Also the pool / hot tub is visible accessible from all sliding glass doors from the main area to the back yard.

Another important point is its location inside the plantation - we are on the beach side of 1st Coast Parkway (A1A), so there are no busy streets to cross to get to the beach.
