We are SO glad you loved your stay! We can’t wait to host you again! :)
This was such a lovely and welcoming home! The hosts were so accommodating. We had a slight issue with the dishwasher that the hosts worked with our schedule as to not inconvenience us and had the issue resolved quickly. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, the kitchen island is so big it deserves its own zip code! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone.It is also a convenient location to so much. Just lovely!

Aww, thx you guys! You were such lovely guests! Come back anytime! :)
This place was perfect inside and out and the owner Brian was easy to contact and made me feel like we had been friends for years. Our entire family loved our stay and will be back. Thank you Brian
Great property near the beach and many good restaurants. The house is less than a mile from a good Harris Teeter grocery store. (I recommend the in store cooked and carved prime rib on Thursday night!) The house has a good backyard if you have a fur baby. Would recommend to anyone, especially family groups.
First and foremost, I want to say how wonderful Brian, our host, responded and made everything perfect for our visit. The house was clean, had every appliance that we could use if we needed, location perfect to everything in town etc. His helpfulness was outstanding. He made me feel like family, if I needed something, he answered the question, got it done, and was simply pleasurable to deal with. I highly recommend staying here. Winnie

We were a group of four adults who enjoyed everything about the house and yard. It is clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. Even though on a 'main' road it is in a quiet area. We plan on staying there again.

We loved our stay at Brian’s place in Amelia Island. It was immaculate and clean with everything you’d need during your stay. We loved the big open kitchen and spent every night on the sun porch. Close to everything and would love to stay here again in the future.

The house was the perfect size for our annual girls weekend! We appreciated the openness of the main living area and enjoyed the screened in porch. Location was close to beach, shopping and all the necessities. Brian was very responsive to our questions and checked in with us to make sure all was going well. I would highly recommend for anyone to stay here!

About the host
Hosted by Property Manager
We live in Virginia but have a long family history on Amelia Island! Brian's great great grandfather moved to Fernandina in the 1800's and there is still a 1908 Victorian in the family located in the Historic district. We love vacationing on the island and, as our family has grown, we needed more space. Rebuilding Buccaneer Bungalow and becoming a Host was a fun and affordable way to ensure we always have a place to stay when vacationing on the island! :)
Why they chose this property
Though our ancestors settled in the historic district of Fernandina, we've always love the southern part of the island. The winding roads and big live oaks dripping with Spanish moss were always an appeal. As it's become more developed, it's grown into the perfect place to vacation and host guests as well! We are located very close to well-maintained beaches, plenty of amenities and the Omni and Ritz properties as well.
What makes this property unique
It's rare to find this much property so close to the beach that provides both privacy and serenity. The trees and foliage, especially in the backyard (backing up to the Amelia river) are all favorite guest features. The boathouse and firepit come in handy as well. Come see why we maintain a 5 star rating over 2 years of hosting!
