Place was so very clean! Beds were soft and all were kings with baths. Decor was perfect. Walk to beach was easy. The cottage in front is their property as well. We met the people who were staying there and they highly recommended it. We may make this a yearly trip. Thanks Amy

October GetAway

The house was impeccably clean, comfortable beds and bedding and nice absorbent towels. Perfect location for beach fun and close to town. Would definitely rent again. Very positive experience, the host was in contact for any needs we might have and entry was very easy no hangs or flaws getting in.

Great house! Great stay!

This home was perfect for a double birthday! 8 of us fit very comfortably - it was so nice to have good chairs and beach towels available and the owner was responsive to a missing coffee pod station and had it delivered in an hour ! Highly recommend this house for a visit to the beach!

According to all guests, the home and host were lovely. Had a glitch with the paperwork on the front end and a power outage that took out the only TV and Internet services for entirety of the stay but everyone was appreciative of the efforts of the host to make amends.

Thank you for extending kindness and understanding during an unusual week. While I couldn't control the storm or the outage, I cared deeply about making things as right as possible, and I appreciated your grace throughout the situation. I'm grateful your mom and her friends still enjoyed the home. It was a pleasure to host this group of lovely ladies. I'd love the opportunity to welcome them back for the seamless stay we strive to provide. Sincerely, Amy

Bill, Thank you for your kind review! It was a pleasure to host you and your family for such a special occasion. I don't often get to meet my guests so that was a bonus for me! I think I could enjoy treasure shopping with Peggy. I'm glad that Rosie's Retreat was a part of your 80th birthday celebration, and I hope the memories you made in Fernandina will continue to bring smiles for years to come. We hope you will visit again soon! Warmly, Amy

Hi Colby! I am happy to hear that you had a beautiful stay at our Rosie's Retreat! I LOVE when guests seem to enjoy the same things that I do about Amelia Island. Most of the time the island is quiet and uncrowded and often the beach can feel almost private. I'm glad you were able to experience downtown Fernandina. There are so many delicious restaurants, antique shops, ice cream, and more. We hope to welcome you back to our Rosie's Retreat again soon! 🌴Amy
