Candice Cove - Ocean Front Paradise on Amelia Island, Florida

The place was clean and well decorated. Lots of supplies were available. We enjoyed our stayThank you

Beautiful property, we absolutely loved our stay here. You can hear the waves while sleeping. We lived in the expansive front porch! At night you can walk down to the beach and have it to yourself. Definitely planning to return. Amelia Island is amazing.

Clean and cozy and right on the beautiful beach. Great neighborhood and of historic interest as well. Easy drive to downtown Fernandina and Fort Clinch.

Great

Perfect set up. Little drafty from the door. Enjoyed being able to walk to the beach. Would love to have seen it from sitting on the porch instead of the dunes.

This is the fist time a VRBO property has not met my expectations. I am very surprised by all of the glowing reviews. On arrival, we found a bucket of dirty mop water in the kitchen, a bottle of vodka in one of the kitchen cabinets, roach spray sitting on the downstairs bar along with a box of mostly empty liquor bottles and several bunched up blue tarps. The screen on the door was hanging mostly off, and there were random wood boards scattered across the floor. There was also trash left in the downstairs trash cans. We had to wear shoes inside at all times due to sand burs embedded in the carpets and bath mats. The fully equipped kitchen does NOT include a DISHWASHER!While Oceanfront, you can only see a tiny scrap of ocean due to a high sand dune, and the public beach access is directly next to the back porch. Everyone walking to the beach can look directly at you while you sit out there. There is NO fire alarm, and no venting in the bathrooms or the kitchen. The adorable glass kitchen table shown in the listing has been replaced by a cheap plastic table with a plastic table cloth. I want to be clear we have not asked for a refund, we checked in and out on time, and followed all house rules. I did speak to the owner at check in and he apologized for a few of the conditions. I messaged him after the extent of the issues became clear. He has not responded to my message. Also, the tv speakers downstairs do not work.

Exceeded our expectations and felt like home

Anthony was great and very responsive. House is In a great area and right on the beach. House was exactly how it was pictured. My family and I had a great week and loved this property.

We had to wait an extra hour and a half to get into the property however we were made aware ahead of time. Mr. Hughes was very nice and helpful. We plan on returning again next year

This is a wonderful property on a stunning site. A very comfortable house. We had a great time.

Perfect home for family. The outdoor space is wonderful especially for little ones. Location- about 50 steps to the beach! Located close to anything you need but feels secluded.Home has everything you need for a great trip.It is easy to be a host when everything is going well, we experienced a power outage due to weather and Anthony responsiveness was wonderful. Made sure we new where emergency lanterns were etc and kept us updated with Neil power restored.

We absolutely adored this house and our stay. Even though we couldn’t see the water, we could hear it. The walk to the was a perfect distance and we really appreciated the outdoor shower. We were looking forward to using the bar seating under the house, but it was under construction, however we all enjoyed the seating under the house and watched movies. It rained every evening we were there, however, it was not a problem. We were 100% impressed by how well the house was stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, and bath towels - we have rented homes on the beach for many many years and never once has a home been stocked. We absolutely appreciated it. There were abundant pillows on the beds as well, all were so comfortable. The kitchen was quaint and well stocked also with pots/pans/pitchers/silverware. When we first walked in, we were welcomed with beach music from the TV’s. (Nice touch)Thank you so much for sharing your home. I hope we can stay again in the near future!!!

This house is exactly what we imagine a beach house to be. The location and beach were perfect, not crowded. This was our first trip to Amelia Island and American Beach and may not be our last.

We enjoyed our visit and stay. The home was very clean upon arrival. The location was convenient. The beach access was easily accessible. Top choice for next years vacation.

Candice Cove was a cute little beach house. Well furnished and clean, it was a great spot just a stones throw away from the beach, although due to a sand dune, we could not see the water directly. The house came with everything we could need for our three night stay, everything down to pots and pans for cooking, and two nifty outdoor showers to rinse off all the sand before coming inside. Beach towels were also provided in the laundry room downstairs. A/C was ice cold and the beds were pretty comfortable, albeit a little too squishy for some of the guests in my party. The home was easy to navigate for someone who is visually impaired . The weather was wonderful, and it made hanging out on the deck in the rocking chairs made embracing the oudoors very enjoyable, Also, the WIFI was super fast and smooth, great for gaming (like me).The downstairs had a seating area with lots of places to sit and a television mounted on the wall. However, there was still some construction of a bar being done, so we avoided that area. Overall, we really enjoyed this little cottage by the sea, and felt relaxed and rejuvenated after our stay.

Anthony was great to work with. The house was clean and was very close to the beach. The down stairs is a great space for gathering but the back porch was my favorite spot because of the constant breeze.

We absolutely love this place—it's our little slice of paradise! We've stayed here multiple times, and each visit has been just as wonderful as the last. The home is beautifully maintained, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. Everything was perfect, and we’re so thankful for the chance to stay here again. Already looking forward to our next visit!

This is our family's third time staying at Candice Cove, and we've already booked it again for next year. That should tell you how much we love staying here. The house is in a terrific location. The beach is wide and is at the end of the area where you can drive on the beach. Therefore it tends to be a little quieter (especially during the weekdays) and safer if you bring little ones with you who might be oblivious to vehicles driving around. Anthony, the owner, is extremely responsive and provides everything you could possibly need for your stay. The fact that the property takes dogs is a bonus, and there is ample area to walk them. The property is also very clean. Overall, this property is a winner!

Great beachfront property that is very close to everything! Very near to grocery store, gas station/convenience store, shops, and 18 mins drive to historic downtown! The kitchen is a bit small but it worked for us! We wished there was a dishwasher. But other than that, they have all the kitchen stuff you may need! There was some construction in the basement but it was put away and safe with our kids around. The kids LOVED the outdoor shower! Overall a wonderful and fun stay!

First of all the property was very clean upon arrival. The house is an older house but it is nice, it is a historic local house from years ago. Very close to the beach with just a short walk and very nice back porch and sitting area down below. You could not ask for a better owner in Anthony, he is super nice and responded quickly to questions or concerns. I would recommend anyone to stay here and I would definitely return.

Great location...far enough away, but close enough to everything. Quintessential vintage beach cottage in every way!

Overall everything was nice. Not far to the beach. Very private. Everything was well stocked. Host was very courteous and easy to get in touch with if you had a question. There was still damage from the hurricane to the lower inside, but it is under construction as I speak. We had a lovely time and beautiful weather. I would definitely recommend this cottage. Hated to leave.

Stayed at Candice Cove for a week and thoroughly enjoyed this little cottage. The location is perfect and the house is fully equipped with everything you would want for a beach vacation. The laundry facilities were not available due to previous storm damage, and it would have been nice to have a dishwasher in the kitchen, but that didn't damper the wonderful time we had. Anthony was extremely prompt with his responses and very cordial. There's plenty of outdoor space on the lower level and many seating options for all. The outside shower was perfect. All three bedrooms were furnished beautifully and the living room was comfortable and spacious. We really enjoyed the back deck and hung out there after a relaxing day on the beach. I would definitely recommend Candice Cove for fellow beach lovers.

What a gem of a place! Perfect location, easy to find, within 20 mins of downtown to go shopping at cute stores and enjoy great food at local restaurants. We explored multiple trails and enjoyed the beach. Lots of bike paths are available. Locals are friendly! The owner is attentive and helped quickly when the front door lock had issues. Also, hurricanes came through and they are repairing the bar area so the outside downstairs area was closed. But that was ok with us. Great place and we recommend for anyone wanting a cozy place on the beach.

This is our second time staying here. We love the easy beach access, privacy, and well equipped home.

If you are looking for a modern high rise with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, this place isnt for you. But, if you want a quaint, clean beach bungalow steps from the ocean, lots of outdoor seating spaces, and a very responsive host then this is(Anthony), then this is the place you want.

Candice Cove is the worst Vrbo rental we have ever encountered! The Host contacted us just hours before we were to arrive to let us know Half the house was under construction due to storm damage!!! We didn’t have time to find another place!!! The house was full of mold!!! Dirty! Sheets smelled !! The house was uneven and the floors sagged! Couldn’t use the whole downstairs or the outside courtyard! Trash was thrown on both sides of home and huge construction was going on in front of property. We left on the 3rd day! Host only refunded us 300.00 when we requested a full refund! I will be informing VRBO! He could have notified us in November that the house was damaged.. but waited until hours before arriving!

Our family of four enjoyed a relaxing time over New Years. Great to be just steps from the beach. The downstairs area of the property was not open during our stay.

The location was great. Mop bucket was left in the kitchen, the kitchen was old and hard to cook thanksgiving lunch. Bathrooms were not clean, sand in some of the beds. This home should have been taken off the rental list with damages from recent storm

Property was great. Great location right on beach. Unfortunately out of everyones control, Hurricane Hellene hit a few days prior to us checking in. Beautiful court yard could not use do to water. Other than that, house was great an very clean. Will definitely book this hoyse again. .

We were unfortunate to be there during an approaching hurricane Had three wonderful days at the beach a short walk across the dunes the owner was very accommodating Thus was our third stay and we plan on coming back soon

This house was the perfect getaway for 4 adults and 2 small children. Older house with tons of character and very clean. Awesome bar/hangout area underneath as well! Great location that isnt busy and we had the beach all to ourselves. Anthony was in contact with us through the week with anything we needed for our stay!

My family was very impressed with our stay at Candice Cove. It was extremely clean and the owner went the extra mile and had toilet paper, paper towels, soap, first aid kits, and even more amenities you may need. The location could not have been better! The beach in front of the property felt like our own oasis as it was not crowded and so convenient to the house. My entire family agreed it was one of our favorite vacations ever :)

This was a very nice experience-would recommend highly

Wonderful location. House was comfortable and clean.

One of the best locations. Hop and a skip from the beach.House could use some updating.. The TVs did not work in two of the bedrooms.😳 My granddaughter and her friend had a wonderful time.

This is my third time here and I have already booked for next year. This is a hidden gem. Everything is excellent, I would not change a thing. Me and my family enjoy this place and look forward returning. Thank you for sharing.
