Candice Cove is one of the Historic homes on American Beach Oceanfront. American Beach is a historic HOA beach community located north of Jacksonville, Florida on Amelia Island in Nassau County. During the time of segregation and the Jim Crow era, African Americans were not allowed to swim at most of beaches in Jacksonville, and several black-only areas were created. American Beach was the largest and most popular, and was a community established by Abraham Lincoln Lewis, Florida’s first black millionaire and president of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company.

American Beach was founded in 1935 by Florida’s first black millionaire, Abraham Lincoln Lewis, and his Afro-American Life Insurance Company. The plan was for his employees to have a place to vacation and own homes for their families by the shore. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, summers at American Beach were busy with families, churches and children. It was a place where African Americans could enjoy “Recreation and Relaxation Without Humiliation”. The beach included hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs as well as homes and other businesses.

American Beach

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.

Relaxing Stay

We loved our stay at your beach house. It was clean, well decorated, had comfortable beds, great views and close beach access. We enjoyed the porch, deck and back patio with the outside shower. So much room to relax and enjoy the beautiful area with our pup. We also liked the historical books and cookbook re America Beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Vacation Spot

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 :)

Great beach house

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.

The house and location were perfect for our girls' trip away. We had such a great time relaxing on the back porch listening to the ocean. The easy short walk right onto the beach was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better location.

Thanksgiving at the beach

Location is everything in my opinion when going to the beach. This rental location was perfect. Waking up to the sunrises daily and being a walk over the dune to the ocean was exactly what this Colorado family needed!

Best place on Amelia Island

This is my favorite place to go when on vacation. This place is amazing. This was a 2nd time here and it was even better. I have already scheduled my next stay. The upgrades to the bathrooms was super nice. I would give this place more than 5 stars.
