Fernandina Beach, Florida
Welcome to the charming and historic Ocean Glory home, located on beautiful Amelia Island!
Wake up and watch the waves from your very own bed with the pelican`s eye view of the water that this property boasts! A 180-degree, wraparound deck overlooks seagrass dunes to the shore just 50 yards away. Barefoot walks before breakfast are easy with the dune walkover in front of the house. Ocean Glory may be relatively modern, but it is full of history. From the moment you open the porthole front door, you will begin to discover relics from an old ship inside. The boater`s pine paneling rises to a vaulted, beamed ceiling, reclaimed from a historic church decades ago. The antique sailboat model on the two-story stone fireplace reflects life on a barrier island, surrounded by seas and rivers, stones and sand.
Recently renovated in tasteful nautical décor, we have preserved the original architecture while adding modern furnishings, appliances, and new designer bedding. Now with high-speed wireless internet access, you can surf the web and watch the surf at the same time.
This property is perfectly situated on the north end of the island, where guests are only minutes away from Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach and Centre Street, where restaurants and shops are abundant, Fort Clinch State Park, and other local attractions. Sitting oceanfront, this home is literally just steps away from the sea. If you are looking for the next great family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a fun weekend with friends, this is the perfect location for you!

Ocean Glory was an excellent destination for our family vacation. We loved the view of the water from the deck where we shared dinner as a family and enjoyed a glass of wine later under the stars. This was a great location for a low stress getaway. We spent everyday at the beach taking advantage of the boogie boards and sand toys. The property was very well maintained and exactly as advertised. We ate most of our dinners at the house using the outdoor grill nearly every evening. Paula was terrific and the management team at the nearby bed and breakfast were helpful. Paula called in advance and provided great information about the local area and made us feel at home even prior to arriving.
We really enjoyed the the unique character of this property. The location is great near the public park. I was especially pleased with the availability of a tool box. You never know when you might need a hammer! I look forward to staying at Ocean Glory again.
When I read about this vacation home, I was so excited because it sounded like the perfect place for a week of rest and relaxation following a the topsy turvy previous 6 months of 2013. I was a bit skeptical but when we arrived, it was all as described and much more. From the easy, friendly staff who welcomed us to Amelia Island at Fernandina Beach Realty until we locked the door behind us for the final time, the week was OCEAN GLORY MAGNIFICENT. The home was just like stepping in to the pages of Coastal Living and enjoying every minute. Thank you for sharing your home and making our stay a vacation to add to our cherished memories.
Marvellous house, comfortable and relaxing with everything supplied that was needed. And great location steps from the beach.
We have rented 15 different properties from VRBO over the years and Ocean Glory rates up near the top. It is obviously someones home that they care about and have invested time and money in. The location was lovely, a short walk over the dune to the beach. The beach was not crowded, even on the weekend. It was a short drive to restaurants and shopping. The beds were comfortable and there were sand toys underneath the carport to use. The kitchen was adequately supplied, but a few more glasses would be appreciated. The dishwasher was a small one- maybe apartment size? so we ended up running that alot!. I would certainly stay there again if we returned. We had multiple extended families renting various properties up and down fernandina beach that week, and everyone agreeed Ocean Glory was the nicest of them all!
Ocean Glory was easily the nicest we have ever rented. To our surprise we found more places to visit even though we have spent a month on the island before. We all loved the Jacksonville Zoo with its botanical gardens, which was such a delightful drive as well. On the historical boat ride we encountered an armored sub. which brought a little tension to the trip as we were visited by an all black armored launch and told to stay 500 feet away. All cameras were hidden and we knew it was for real. We managed to meet an alligator with twenty two babies on the greenway, she did not like my binoculars and lunged out of the water! We found the small gem of a nature center in Amelia plantation as well. I always enjoyed the town stores and my daughter and granddaughter did as well, whilst the males were happy to sit on the benches and listen to the old fiddle player. We did manage to get cheese to bring home at the market, and finally eat real fresh strawberries!
We had a wonderful stay at Ocean Glory. The house was exactly as pictured and described. The house was very clean and well layed out. The house accomodated six adults very comfortably. The location was perfect for nearby activities, attractions, restaruants, golf. The best part of our visit was the full view of the ocean from the living area and the deck. The house had full amenities, we were not wanting for anything. I would highly recommend Ocean Glory to any of my friends and relatives.
While the weather did not cooperate for our vacation ( rained every day ! ) - the house, Ocean Glory was certainly a highlight of our trip. The house is very cozy with incredible views. We played some games, watched movies and cooked some great meals and just made the best of it - which was easy to do in such a nice house. The house has a very easy flow to it and even with all five us inside - if you wanted to find a quiet place to read, etc. - you could. Very nice touches throughout the house and very well designed. If not for the weather, i would give it a 5 !! The owner ( Paula) was very responsive to my questions prior to arriving.
We spent a week in June at this home and it had everything we look for in a vacation...great views, all amenities, comfortable beds, tv and high speed internet. The only complaint at all was our verizon phones weren't picking up much of a signal in the house, but we found little spots here and there where we could get bars. The house is so comfortable and they truly supplied just about everything you could possibly need. Yes, the deck is great..you could sit out there all day! And night! Thank you for sharing your home, we loved it there, so peaceful!
We just spent a long October weekend at Ocean Glory and it was perfect. The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable and the owners were a delight to work with. Everything that you need was right there. The kitchen was well stocked and we used the gas grill each night. There was a wonderful seafood market 5 minutes away and if you are there on a Saturday, do not miss the farmers market. In the future when we visit we will plan our meals around all the goodies at the market. The very best part of the visit was sitting on the beautiful deck looking out at the ocean and walking the beach. We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather and a full moon! We really loved this home and plan on returning. Thank you Ocean Glory.
