Island escape with ocean-view deck & steps to beach - snowbirds welcome

Professionally managed by Casago First Coast. Step across the street to Fernandina Beach, then come back to partial ocean views from your private deck. This dog-friendly upstairs retreat on S Fletcher Ave puts you steps from the sand and a mile from the shops and restaurants along Fletcher Avenue. Three smart TVs, a full stainless steel kitchen with a breakfast bar, and in-unit washer and dryer make it easy to settle in. Downtown Fernandina Beach is 5 miles north. Dogs welcome.

The Space

Whale Tale A is the upstairs unit of a beachside home on S Fletcher Ave, directly across the street from Fernandina Beach. The private deck faces the ocean and offers partial views of the water. Head one mile north along Fletcher Avenue for beach shops, restaurants, and the relaxed coastal strip that makes this part of Amelia Island feel like a locals' favourite.

Five miles further north, Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach is waiting with antique shops, local eateries, the Palace Saloon, and a walkable waterfront district. Fernandina Beach Golf Club is 1 mile away. Amelia River Golf Club is 2.5 miles. Fort Clinch State Park is a short drive for hiking, fishing, and Civil War history.

Inside, the full kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar for casual meals, and everything you need to cook at home. The living area has a queen sleeper sofa, two armchairs, and a 42" smart TV with cable. Board games are available for evenings in. Three smart TVs total throughout the home.

Cute and clean getaway

We loved our stay here. Place was comfortable, clean, and very cutely decorated. Walk to the beach was short. Customer service was amazing. Check in and access was easy. We were in Unit A which is upstairs. There is a small covered deck with outdoor seating area but only two chairs. The small backyard had a table and chairs but we did not access.

Location

We were first placed in unit A which I incorrectly assumed was the first floor. Wrong 13 steps and two days later we requested a change with management. I am 79 years old and 13 steps was difficult. Management was wonderful they agreed and we ended our trip having a great time!

Make sure you know what you are renting! We were fooled by the property title.

At the time of booking,this rental was titled “entire home“ which has now been corrected. Listing still shows as an amenity “gym/exercise room” which I have yet to find. The shared fenced in backyard needs a lot of work, broken gate with one small patio area in middle to seat 4, not user friendly when shared between two different families. Shared outside trash cans where renters were responsible to take to curb on trash day was a huge problem. With no garbage disposal and renters who exceeded occupancy each day, cans stayed full and had no assistance taking overflowing cans to curb. The shared driveway with 2 car limit was a pain, other renters, had 3 - 4 cars their entire stay and parked on both sides of grass/gravel areas making it difficult to pull in and out of driveway (once they blocked us in). Dishwasher was full upon our arrival. Family room furniture needs replacing, no support. Could not wipe off feet or dog after beach walk because of missing outside water spigot handle. If you had the entire home this would have been an ok rental.
