About this property

Short Walk to Beach | Pet-Friendly Duplex | Deck & Grill

  • Welcome to 1530 Lisa Ave #A on Amelia Island, FL. "Seaside Escape" has been a short-term rental delighting families for a decade with a history of over 100 5-star reviews. Newly refreshed, it is now hosted by Stay Better Vacations. Less than 500 feet from a private beach access, this pet-friendly lower-level duplex offers laid back charm, a private balcony and the perfect location for a carefree beach getaway. A comfortable home base for couples or small families ready to trade the routine for salt air and bare feet.

    This two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit sleeps 4 comfortably. The primary bedroom has a king bed, dresser, and ensuite bath with a walk in shower. The guest room has queen bed and shares a full bath with a tub/shower combination just steps away. The living room is set up with a flat-screen smart TV with complimentary Hulu Live and Peacock, and the kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances. A dining table with seating for four is the perfect spot for puzzels or dinner. In-unit washer and dryer and fast WiFi provide all the comforts of home. There is a sleeper sofa to accommodate a total of 6 guests.

    Start your mornings with coffee on the balcony, taking in the salty air and listening to the waves hit the beach, then take the 90 second stroll to Amelia Island's sandy shoreline just moments away. Whether you're searching for shark teeth, soaking up the Florida sunshine, or enjoying a peaceful walk along the water, the beach is always close. Sandy feet? No problem.

    A shared outdoor shower at the home makes cleanup a breeze. This unit also shares a fenced in side yard perfect for kids or pets. Although located in the quiet North End free from traffic and congestion, it is only 1 mile to Main Beach where surfing, volleyball, mini golf, a skate park, playground, lifeguards and restaurants await. The Fort Clinch State Park entrance is 1.5 miles away and a quick, less than 3.5 mile drive, will bring you to quaint Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach.

    You can park in the driveway, parallel to the driveway, by the fence, in the grass in front of the house, or along the fence in the grass by the side yard. There is plenty of parking.

    Traveling with extended family? The upper unit is sometimes available to rent alongside this one, creating a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom setup for larger groups. Reach out to ask about availability. This property has a maximum night stay of 6 nights.

This was a short 2 night stay for us but that did not keep us from the area and the amenities of this home! You guys nailed it! Everything was well thought out and labeled for full usage of the property. Great location with beach access! The beach being more private to the neighborhood vs the main parking lot made for a very peaceful adventure, with well over 40 rentals under our belt in the last 12 months, this place is near if not at the top of our list! Can’t wait to visit again

Great spot for beach and dogs

This was the whole first floor of a house in a quiet neighborhood, with all the amenities we wanted. There's a fenced side yard that's perfect for dogs. The beach is just a 2 minute walk away, with a private path over the dunes. We'd like to return someday!

Peaceful Fernandina Beach

The property was just as described. The neighbors are pleasant and friendly. The neighborhood is very quiet and dog friendly. We enjoyed the local restaurants and small shops. Make sure to go to the Fernandina Beach Museum and do the Docent talk. Fernandina Beach is very dog friendly. Loved Fernandina Old Town!

Seaside Rscape

This condo is amazing. We’ve stayed here before and again it was perfect. It is always clean. It is decorated nicely by the owners and has supplies readily available. The condo is conveniently located near historic downtown Fernandina Beach, but it is very close to the beach, is very peaceful. There is plenty of parking and we had wild deer in the neighbor daily as it is right next to Fort Clinch! We will definitely be returning.

Perfect place

This property was perfect for anyone wanting a restful, convenient, comfortable vacation! The home was lovely (even better than the photos) was nicely furnished, and had everything you w need. It was very clean. Location was great - easy access to a lovely more secluded part of the beach. Close to shopping and dining… Even the neighbors (who live there full time) were friendly and welcoming. The owners were delightful! Wonderful support and communication! I’ll be back!!

Excellent escape

We had a short but relaxing stay that was everything we needed for our little getaway. We were looking to do something different for us for Thanksgiving and this was perfect. The place was cute and tidy. Check-in and out was a breeze and the place had everything we needed and it was all easy to find. We are so grateful they allow pets too, we wanted our whole family together for the holiday. I cannot say enough good things. While it wasn’t our first time on the island, it was our first tie staying here, but won’t be our last!

Lovely stay

My husband, our dog and myself just got home from a wonderful week at Seaside Escape. It is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable. The beach was super close - around a corner, across a street and over a small sand dune - 3 minutes. Our pup loved the fenced in yard. We were there over Christmas and they surprised us by putting up a Christmas tree - a wonderful treat. We had a small issue with the door lock.The owners were responsive and quick to resolve. A couple and their dog were in the upstairs unit for 2 nights, which we hardly heard. I highly recommend staying here. I hope to be back next year.
