Neighborhood Overview:

The Ebb Tide Cottage is well-located towards the north end of the island and is a quick drive to all of the island`s best dining and shopping. Additionally, this section of the beach is all residential homes so there are no condo buildings (i.e., this section of the beach is generally less crowded than the condo sections). From the house, you can walk to Slider’s Seaside Grill (0.4 miles) for oceanfront dining, beach drinks, and live music.

To the north, you will find Main Beach which features the Salt Life and Sandbar Kitchen restaurants, a playground, and beachside putt putt golf. From there, Amelia Island`s downtown historic district is just a short drive down Atlantic Avenue. There you will find plenty of wonderful restaurants, shopping, nightlife and local culture. Fort Clinch State Park is also located along Atlantic Avenue. The park features the 19th century Fort Clinch (still open to the public for tours), a great beach, and lots of beautiful trails for hiking or biking.

The South end of the island boasts several wonderful restaurants, the Ritz and Omni resorts, a picturesque canopy biking trail, and charming local boutiques. We recommend checking out the Ritz spa if you are looking for a relaxing treat!

If you go inland (west), you can find most necessities within two miles of the house. Sadler Road has a Publix grocery store, Starbucks, and multiple quick restaurants.

Getting Around:

Amelia Island is a small area and is easy to navigate! There is free parking available throughout the entire island, making driving very easy to any place you choose to visit.

Although Uber/Lyft are not very reliable on the island (we strongly recommend bringing a car), they are available through the app on your smartphone.

Bike rentals are available at `The Beach Store` located a half mile south of the Ebb Tide Cottage. Riptide Watersports also delivers bikes and other beach gear.

We stayed at Ebb Tide Cottage for the month of February to escape the winter. The house is absolutely lovely and so well-equipped. The kitchen lacks nothing! The bedrooms and living areas are very comfortable and the decor is so beachy and inviting. The home is a reverse layout so the kitchen and main living areas are on the second floor. You can watch outstanding sunrises from the living room or the amazing full-length deck right outside. A quick walk over the home’s boardwalk bridge takes you right to the gorgeous, sandy beach. The home is really nicely situated on Amelia Island so you feel close to everything both north and south. Any questions we had were very promptly answered. I could not have asked for a better place to try our first snowbird experience. We would love to return!

House was perfect! View amazing! Every morning having coffee on that deck was just what the doctor ordered. The house had everything thing we needed, was clean and was decorated so tastefully. Thanks for the beach chairs being available too! My only suggestion would be that the queen bedroom could use a new mattress or just squeeze a king in there. Other than that would stay again!!! 100% 5 star incredible home!!! Thank you Jenny and Matt!

This house was beautifully appointed and immaculately cleaned. The views from the big windows across the back were beautiful. The kitchen was so well stocked. Anything we needed, it had. We loved the expansive back deck and the nice, private walkway over the backyard and dunes to the beach. 10 out of 10 for sure!!

We have been coming to Amelia Island for over 30 years as a family. Each house we stay in has its own unique style and comfort. Ebb Tide was beautiful! Thoughtfully decorated! The deck, open floor plan, and central location made this house perfect for our group of 7. I got married while I was there and we had the ceremony on the lawn overlooking the dunes. We celebrated and danced the night away on the upper deck. This house was perfect for our small group. We will be back!

Such a perfect property for our group - 6 adults, no kids. Clean, comfortable, beautifully refinished and perfectly outfitted for a week at the beach. Outdoor spaces perfect for enjoying the beach from the deck & for walking out to the sand itself. Hosts were exceptional with communication & check in/out procedures. Our group is already looking forward to our next stay in the same house!

As advertised and lovely!

We had a gathering @ Ebb Tide for a Foodie trip and gad a wonderful time. The property is exactly as advertised. Note that the primary bedroom is 2X nicer than any other room/bath combo…which only matters if people are splitting cost and expecting comparable rooms. There’s the Primary and then “the other 3”. Location lovely, close to the main town and very responsive owners.

It was clean too, which me and my party appreciated. There was 6 of us on a girl trip and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed so much the deck overlooking the sand and ocean. Everything was easy, from the booking process to check-in and check out. I will definitely be back! Thanks, Matt and Jenny for the hospitality (the bottle of wine left for us was a nice touch).
