Oceanfront Classic Cottage Apartment 270 S Fletcher Ave, Amelia Island

This is a true beach cottage, built in the classic Amelia Island style. Expect terrazzo floors, big windows, ocean breezes, and the gentle rhythm of waves morning and night.
The home has been cared for by a local artist for many years, and you can feel the relaxed, welcoming energy throughout.

About the Home:
This is not a new renovation and that's part of the magic.
It's easy-going, sunny, beach-worn in the best way.
You may notice:
A bit of draftiness on cold days
Weathered textures from salt air
Original finishes and mid-century charm
But what you get in return is:
Real oceanfront living
Peace, quiet, and timeless coastal character...
A home that feels lived in, not staged or commercial.
If you're looking for polished granite, ultra-modern updates, or a hotel-like experience, this won't be the fit.
If you want to fall asleep to waves, walk barefoot to the beach, and live like an island local Welcome Home this is the place!
