Escape to Oceanfront Luxury, House Just Renovated in Amelia Island

This charming beachfront vacation home is a stone's throw from the
ocean sand dunes and surf, located in the peaceful North Beach neighborhood of
Amelia Island. Wake up to watch the waves from the master bed, with
a pelican's eye view of the water. A 180-degree wraparound deck
overlooks seagrass dunes to the shore just 50 yards away. Barefoot
walks before breakfast are easy with the dune walkover in front of
the house.

The house may be relatively modern, but it's full of history. From
the moment you open the porthole front door, you'll begin to
discover relics from an old ship inside. The boater's pine paneling
rise to a vaulted beamed ceiling, reclaimed from a historic church
decades ago. The antique sailboat model on the two-story
stone fireplace reflect life on a barrier island, surrounded by seas
and rivers, stones and sand.

Yesterday and still today, it's all about the view. From the dining
room, the living room, the master bedroom and wraparound deck, you
can gaze over the ocean blue waters and deep purple skies morning,
noon and night. Dining and cocktail tables on the deck invite you
to take meals al fresco.

Recently renovated in tasteful nautical decor with a whole new exterior, we've preserved the original architecture while adding modern furnishings, appliances
and new designer bedding. Now with FREE high-speed wireless internet
access, you can watch the surf while you surf the net.
