Escape to Renovated Oceanfront House 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.
