Fun in Fernandina Beach

We had a wonderful stay in the Carriage House. Fantastic location in quiet neighborhood where everyone says “Hello” and only a few blocks from Centre Street in historic district. Owner was extremely helpful with recommendations on restaurants and things to do. House was very clean and looks just like the pictures. Easy process to check-in/out and she even had homemade delicious blueberry muffins to welcome us. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

Excellent apartment for exploring Amelia Island

This is a brand new, beautiful and adorable vacation apartment, perfect for exploring the historic downtown of Fernandina Beach. We loved walking to the bars and restaurants in the downtown and strolling the quiet, quaint streets surrounding. We rented a car for a day to see the rest of the island and the beaches— absolutely beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Dorner

Host profile image
My name is Susan and I decided to 'retire' in 2019. I moved across the country. I was looking for a small town in a beautiful place. I found paradise on Amelia Island. My house is located in the historic downtown and short walk to so many fun places. In 2021, I finished construction of the carriage house, which has a two car garage and gym on the first floor and your own private 1 bedroom apartment on the second floor.

Why they chose this property

Amelia Island is only two miles wide and 13 miles long. The carriage house is a short walk to so many fantastic restaurants, breweries, shops, and sites.
