Like a perfect little Cape Cod cabin nestled in the heart of northeast Florida. Direct waterfront on a quiet and peaceful portion of the St. Mary’s River. Our favorite place was sitting on the dock with a glass of wine watching the sunset. The grounds are heavily wooded with lots of wildlife and mature trees. The cabin itself is extremely spacious for a 1BR/Studio. Beautifully decorated and well equipped with all the amenities we needed for a romantic getaway. If you’re looking for a quiet sanctuary to relax after a day spent exploring Amelia Island and the historic district of Fernandina Beach then this is a fantastic spot. You can really tell that the Friendly, responsive and accommodating host has gone the extra mile to make this a comfortable and welcoming home. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family, and can hopefully come back again sometime.

To me seeing this property at sunrise reminded me of place that is heaven on earth, if you have ever breathed and felt that air in Chama NM you know. I'll be coming back to this Nantucket hide away every chance I get. Timing to me is everything since I fish as much as I can. The river is St Mary and incoming and outgoing tides are at your fingertips. Beautiful dock, motor raised boat hanger and a floating dock for fishing and boating tie. The flow of the tides river runs by the dock. So water flow 24-7...amazing if you fish like I do. 4 days, Amelia Island bait tackle live bait . Use live bait The area also short run to beach if needed. Get some groceries and kick back place. So yeah I'll be back forever. Alexis Thank you. Another find I'd book for extended stay weeks

I loved my time at the cottage. It's just adorable, and very clean and comfortable. Wonderful sense of nature. Access to the dock for the main house was great.
