Neighborhood Overview:

Sea Glass Cottage is conveniently located on the laid-back north end of the island and is a quick drive to all of the island's best dining and shopping. Although it is about as close as you can get to the historic downtown while still being on the beach, the north end of the island tends to be a little bit quieter than most other areas of the island as there is minimal through traffic. The beach is generally not very crowded and is frequented by locals and surfers.

Within walking distance, you will find Main Beach which features the Salt Life and Sandbar Kitchen restaurants, a playground, and beachside putt putt golf. From Main Beach, Amelia Island's downtown historic district is just a short drive down Atlantic Avenue. There you will find plenty of wonderful restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and local culture. Fort Clinch State Park is also located along Atlantic Avenue. The park features the 19th century Fort Clinch (open to the public for tours), a great beach, and lots of beautiful trails for hiking or biking.

Getting Around:

Amelia Island is a small area and is easy to navigate! There is free parking available throughout the entire island, making driving very easy to any place you choose to visit.

Although Uber/Lyft are not very reliable on the island (we strongly recommend bringing a car), they are available through the app on your smartphone.

Bike rentals are available at "The Beach Store" located approximately two miles south of Sea Glass Cottage. Riptide Watersports also delivers bikes.

Long weekend, perfect stay!
We rented two cottages for ourselves and two friends. The cottages were perfect for our needs this weekend. We weren't there much but it was a great location across from the beach and near restaurants! The pull out couch was a nice add!! The kitchen had everything you needed. My only advice for the owners is to switch to king size beds in the bedrooms. We'll definitely be back one day.

Nice get away
We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very clean. I like the decor made the space feel very open, clean and neat. The kitchen was very well organized and had all the supplies you would need. The bathroom did not offer much counter space, but worked. The towels were very soft! The communication was very quick with the managers. There is not a lot of room for parking. It's not an issue as long everyone is mindful of not taking up too much room.

The Perfect Beach Cottage
This quiet end of the island is just a perfect spot for this really pretty 1 bedroom/1bath cottage. Nestled on the corner of two sandy streets and just steps from the walk-though over the dunes. Clean, nicely decorated, and all of the modern updates that you would want - I will definitely stay here again! (My only suggestion would be to add a short hose to one of the wash stations - this way I could have rinsed off the pup's feet, the cooler and the beach bag to keep from tracking in sand. Thanks for having a broom handy!)
