Beautiful stay! Great home for a family trip! Classic beach house feel and yet feels clean and updated
This beautiful cottage was the perfect place for five friends to celebrate 60 years of life, and over 50 years of friendship. The decor of the place is lovely, and the location can’t be beat - the ocean is right out the back door! We got up early each morning, made our coffee, and headed to the beach to watch the sun rise. One morning we were lucky enough to see three dolphins playing in the water! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful beach experience. The home is clean, beautifully appointed, and in a great location. Restaurants are just a short walk away, and the quaint downtown area (with great shopping) can be reached in minutes by car. Quite honestly, this place is the perfect “home away from home!”
We loved our time at the Healing House! The location can’t be beat- we had a toddler and an infant, and were able to conveniently run back to the house from the beach as needed. The property is gorgeous and the soaking tub was so relaxing! We were also able to fit our travel crib in the main bedroom comfortably, something we’re not always able to do. There are tons of beach toys, coffee, and all the amenities one would need for an excellent vacation. Thanks to the owners for a smooth check in process and wonderful stay!
This home is in an ideal location, close to Fort Clinch State Park and plenty of dining and shopping options within just a few miles. The house sits back from the road just a bit, which made it so quiet and peaceful compared with other homes we've rented in this area. The owners have been very thoughtful in equipping the home with extra amenities that are usually not provided to renters. Bed linens, bath towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, soap, laundry detergent and DVDs were all provided for our use. We even had to use the first aid kit and were so pleasantly surprised to see it was fully stocked with no expired items. The kitchen is also well-equipped. It would be nice to have one empty cabinet for renters to store groceries but that was the only minor inconvenience. The owners communicated well with us and made check-in so easy. The home is right on the beach and we found many shark teeth during our stay. The home was spotless except for the shower, which could use a good scrubbing. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us. We will definitely plan to return next time we visit Amelia Island!
This was our first family vacation.This house was not only beautiful, but It felt relaxing & like home. The beds were comfortable & we slept great. The proximity to the store, things to do & places to eat was fantastic. Loved that the beach was right out the door which makes it so easy, especially if it starts to rain. Low tide was our favorite in the evenings, it turns into a giant splash pad. My only suggestion to anyone coming, is to pack water shoes that would have made the Shelly beach easier to navigate, especially for the kids. It’s absolutely beautiful. Shells galore & we even found some shark teeth. Owners were amazing & quick to respond to messages & questions. We loved downtown & on Saturdays they have a wonderful farmers market. You definitely won’t regret your stay here. We will definitely come back in the future. Thanks so much for having us. It was a great way to honor my Mom’s life on her one year anniversary in Heaven.
We went for a few days relaxation from work and altho it rained everyday we thoroughly enjoyed the lovely home. Got to the beach once for about 10 minutes between downpours and found a shark tooth and 2 lovely conch shells!
The Healing House is gorgeous, comfortable, and full of good vibes. The location could not be better.
Wonderful property. Great hosts. Everything is just as described in the listing and all the other well deserved 5 star reviews.
Great location. Easy access to beach. Perfect view from the deck. Back from the road enough that it is quiet during the day and very quiet at night. Short drive to downtown shops and restaurants. Several very good restaurants less than 5 minutes away. Cozy interior, nicely decorated. Good quality linens and towels. Recently updated bathroom. Well equipped kitchen.
We have stayed here many times. The new owners have upgraded the property significantly. Great for a couple but with one bathroom might be difficult with a bigger group. Feels, looks and is perfect.
Overall great experience.
This particular experience was extraordinary. Ariane and Mark are outstanding hosts and the house was pristine. The location on the beach is magnificent for a vacation.
Just steps from the beach, the house is lovely. Only 1 bathroom but that has never been a problem for us. The new owners are fabulous to work with!
We have stayed in this charming, beautiful, amazing house several times over the years, and it is always just what we need. It is so peaceful and relaxing with perfect views and walking distance to the beach. A private path leads you right to the water. If you like walks on the beach and picking up shells, this is the place for you. If it is to warm or windy on the upstairs deck, there is a wonderful space down below for sitting, reading and napping, and you can still see the ocean. There are rockers, chairs and a hammock there. The house is very well appointed inside with all the supplies you need for your stay. When we are inside our favorite spot is the sun porch overlooking the ocean. We love to take a jigsaw puzzle and set it up on the table there. The house is also in such a central location for shopping, eating, sigh seeing and grocery shopping. Book the Healing House! You will not regret it.
This cottage is a feast for the eyes. The decor is so delicious and inviting. We had everything we needed for our short stay. The views are magnificent and it felt very private despite neighboring homes being close by. Walks along the ocean were so peaceful. Ariane was quick to respond to questions and was the consummate host. Other than the claw tooth tub being a challenge for my husband who has knee issues we could not have had a better vacation!
