I joined friends for a girl's weekend at the beach. Flying in to Jacksonville was easy and the house was a quick 30 minute drive from the airport. We arrived at night so the next morning, I was greeted by the most spectacular unobstructed view of the private beachfront and Atlantic ocean - just footsteps away! The house is beautifully and comfortably furnished (think Pottery Barn beach chic) with many special and personal touches to make it feel like home. Each bedroom is spacious with ample closet space, linens and fresh towels. The kitchen is well equipped for simple meals or a gourmet feast with plenty of seating at the counter or banquette. As a special treat, we enjoyed a catered, candlelit dinner on the deck under clear starry skies (owner can recommend the fantastic caterer). The cozy deck seating areas are also perfect for curling up with a good book, group cocktails/conversation or a nap! Perfectly situated within walking distance to beach bars/restaurants with live music, the house is only a short drive to the town of Fernandina Beach with first class shopping, entertainment and gourmet restaurants. Our group played tennis at the Omni Hotel complex on beautifully maintained clay courts and given how much there is to do in this charming part of Florida - biking, fishing, golf, boating - a month's stay is not long enough! This home is ideal for a family reunion, couples' getaway, family vacation or anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful place to relax and feel rejuvenated. Heaven!
