“Another day in Paradise” at Captain's House Beachfront NEW Listing!! Rare find! Corner unit, on quiet, top floor with 270 degrees of unobstructed ocean views from every window! Sunrise and sunset seating and lounging from furnished oceanside and harbor side balconies!!

This quiet getaway is perfect for rest, tranquil relaxation, romance, reconnecting, or just a peaceful retreat while enjoying the sounds and views of the ocean just steps from your deck.
-This top floor south end unit is without distracting overhead noise (TV's, moving furniture, footsteps, etc). There is privacy on this side because this building was built close to the water and farther from the road keeping you away from traffic noise.

-The beach has private access away from public access beaches, and is without crowds. Captain's House sits on the quiet residential north end of Amelia Island away from the large crowded apartment complexes and hotels, yet it is less than 2 miles from the historic old town full of restaurants and shopping.

-The ocean views are unobstructed from every window, even while sitting or lying down in bed, because it is closer to the ocean than neighboring homes. Its southeast location allows in sunlight to fill 1 to 2 windows in each room from sunup to sundown (as opposed to north or middle units) from 1 to 2 windows in each room and lots of cross breezes and sounds of the pounding ocean.

-The breezy Beachfront Deck that overlooks the ocean is the first place you will go when you enter the condo. It has no view obstructing sidewalls or overhanging roof (which would block your sky views of the moon, stars, and swooping pelicans). You will see 270 degree panoramic views of space-X launches (check NASA website for launch schedule), low flying naval helicopters and hang-gliders. Use our binoculars to watch for turtles, submarines which depart from the north end of the island, dolphins, whales (Right Whales), surfers, kite boarders and more. Rest on comfy teak cushioned steamer chaise lounges, lay back and watch the stars as you listen to the sea. There are bistro tables for morning coffee, reading, or to enjoy the sunrises. A large umbrella is available for those who prefer afternoon shade. An outdoor dining table for 4 lies at the edge of the deck, perfect for candle or moon lit dinners. You will have a hard time finding a reason to leave this “room”.

-The furnished Harbor Side deck is perfect with acacia wood tropical seating for 5 for sunset cocktails.

-The open concept Kitchen in this newly remodeled condo with Brazilian hardwood natural cherry floors throughout is complete with a stunning 'Ocean” countertop created by a local artist made with epoxy resin “waves”. For preparing locally caught fresh fish, baking and preparing sunset cocktails, the pots, pans, dishes, utensils, cookbooks and cocktail glassware supplies are plentiful and at your disposal. The bar has seating for 2 facing the ocean.

-The Dining room has an oversized glass table and seating for 6 plus 2 at the bar

-The Living room seating is very comfortable, deep, comfy, down, soft, and relaxing with lots of pillows and places to put your feet up. The plush swivel chairs allow for morning reading facing the ocean and then swiveling around for evening viewing of movies. The 2 couches are large and comfy enough for nice afternoon naps for everyone. Smart TV, DVD player, library of DVD's, CD's, and books, games, and puzzles for rainy days.

-The Master bedroom faces the ocean and dunes with an attached bath. There is a new Tommy Bahama king bed with West Indies Décor, flat screen TV, DVD player, luggage rack, and an office area set up with printer, scanner, and free landline. No need to get up from your bed to see the ocean with 2 windows.

-Coastal Guest Bedroom has new plush queen bed, with views of the ocean from your pillow.

We have picnic baskets, binoculars, beach coolers and toys, beach towels, mats, and chairs and more. There's also lots of games, cards, puzzles, DVDs, CDs, and books for rainy days. We will provide a guidebook with lots of suggestions about things to do and places to eat.

    House was clean and smelled clean upon arrival unlike other beach homes we have stayed at that had a musty smell. Great view and home was nicely decorated with many kitchen accessories so there was no need to bring any utensils or pans for cooking unlike other homes which had the bare minimum. There was high tide and rip currents during half of our stay due to Imelda but we made the best of the nice days we had.

    Older 3rd (top) floor condo. Very clean, beachfront. A little dated and with no elevator the 32 steps to 3rd floor might be a problem for some. This is out 3rd time staying in this unit, so obviously we are happy with it.

    This was a dream beachfront location with easy beach access and yet also close to the lovely downtown. The condo was terrific! Clearly the host had tried to provide everything you could possibly need (both inside and for the beach) with many thoughtful touches. The management team was great and the check-in/check-out process was easy. Highly recommend!

    It was a great stay. We normally stay in A3 but it was not available. C3 was great. It was very clean, which is a big factor for us. Easy code to gain access. Easy access to beach, even with current beach project going on. If I could give one piece of advice to owners, it would be to remove some of the clutter. Too much furniture in master limiting space for our things. But enjoyed all the seating in the living room. Would stay here again.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Captain's House - it was in a great location (easy to access, well-maintained beachfront neighborhood) and it had the perfect view. Rain or shine, you could sit in the living room by the sliding glass door, sit on the deck or walk a few steps to the beach - hearing and seeing the waves was right there, just what we were looking for! This house is divided up into a 6-Plex or 6 condo unit type set up. This unit is on the 3rd floor on the end and there is no elevator; however the stairs are laid out nicely and easy to maneuver (my friend is in her 70s and she did fine; good hand rails). The unit has a well-supplied in all areas as the owners used to live there full-time I think (great artwork on the walls throughout). Beach chairs were supplied (in the guest bedroom closet) which was so nice to have available. I would book this place again without hesitation!

    This condo was everything as promised. The pictures and description are 100% accurate. Everything except your food is in this unit. It was very clean and decorated nicely. But come on, THE VIEW!!! Just beautiful. I would think 4 adults would be my max as the living area is small, but mostly we were either on the beach or out and about. The location was easy to get anywhere as the island is not that big. You wont be disappointed renting this unit. Rent directly thru Amelia Island Getaways.

    To be able to start your morning off with a cup of coffee and that view is priceless. I would highly recommend this condo to everyone. First time on Amelia Island. Such a great area and all the mom and pop shops are fantastic.
