Photos and Description of the Amelia Island vacation house rental
3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)

*** PLEASE CHECK OUR CALENDAR BEFORE INQUIRING. ***

This charming, beachfront vacation home is a stone's throw from the sand dunes and ocean surf, located in the peaceful North Beach neighborhood of Amelia Island. Wake up to watch the waves from the master bed, with a pelican's eye view of the water. An 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.

The house 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 rise to a vaulted beamed ceiling, reclaimed from a historic church decades ago. The antique sailboat model on the two-story stone fireplace reflect life on a barrier island, surrounded by seas and rivers, stones and sand.

Further Details: Recently renovated in tasteful nautical decor, 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.

About The Owner: Ocean Glory has been a labor of love for us ... serial renovators with a love of the ocean and a belief that cookie-cutters are for sugar cookies, not houses. We were blessed with the opportunity to buy a place that had a fascinating history, on the market for just 6 days that we stumbled upon and fell in love with. Yet, it desperately needed updating. We spent more money fixing and re-furnishing Ocean Glory than our own residence in Atlanta, creating a place of memories for our young sons, friends and family. We are delighted to be able to share Ocean Glory with missionaries, church staff and others who are in need of a special getaway. May your stay with us will bring you a bit of the blessing we've experienced in owning it.

Why the Owner Chose Fernandina Beach: For us, we wanted a place that was an easy drive from home ... just 6 hours from Atlanta. While we looked in the Destin area, St. Augustine, south Georgia islands and more, there was not a place that matched the history, character and recreation options of Amelia Island. We call it 'Mayberry on the Beach.' It's a place with very real, down-home people; no hyper-inflated prices; gorgeous, safe beaches; great places to shop and dine; and all the golf/tennis/riding/kayaking/boating/culture we might want in one place. No wonder it's one of the top 5 islands in North America. (Traveler Magazine readers think so, not just us!).

Charming Beach House

  • 4 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 20, 2012
  • Stayed: Jun 2012
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.

Excellent Family Vacation Home!

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!

Owner's Response: That's right: one of the best experiences is sitting on the deck taking in the millions of stars you just can't see in the city or suburbs. And finding the cell phone hot spots does take a little trial and error. There's a land line there as a back-up if needed. -- Paula, owner

Great winter getaway

We had a great time in a beautiful home. It was very comfortable with fantastic views from bedrooms and living area. The beach was fantastic and the deck, well I could live on that deck. Even in January it was warm enough to sit out early and drink my coffee. Ocean Glory is a real gem. Thanks!

Perfect house in ideal location

Ocean Glory is...glorious. The house is immaculate, and well-equipped with everything one needs for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The location is ideal, quiet yet overlooking the beach. Coffee on the deck, either in the am or pm, is the best part of the day. We really loved our stay and plan to visit again. Highly recommended.

Perfect Weekend

  • Stayed: Oct 2010
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.
