Wonderful beach vacation
This house is exactly what we imagine a beach house to be. The location and beach were perfect, not crowded. This was our first trip to Amelia Island and American Beach and may not be our last.

Candice Cove was a cute little beach house. Well furnished and clean, it was a great spot just a stones throw away from the beach, although due to a sand dune, we could not see the water directly. The house came with everything we could need for our three night stay, everything down to pots and pans for cooking, and two nifty outdoor showers to rinse off all the sand before coming inside. Beach towels were also provided in the laundry room downstairs. A/C was ice cold and the beds were pretty comfortable, albeit a little too squishy for some of the guests in my party. The home was easy to navigate for someone who is visually impaired . The weather was wonderful, and it made hanging out on the deck in the rocking chairs made embracing the oudoors very enjoyable, Also, the WIFI was super fast and smooth, great for gaming (like me).The downstairs had a seating area with lots of places to sit and a television mounted on the wall. However, there was still some construction of a bar being done, so we avoided that area. Overall, we really enjoyed this little cottage by the sea, and felt relaxed and rejuvenated after our stay.

Anthony was great to work with. The house was clean and was very close to the beach. The down stairs is a great space for gathering but the back porch was my favorite spot because of the constant breeze.

Family Beach Vacation
We absolutely love this place—it's our little slice of paradise! We've stayed here multiple times, and each visit has been just as wonderful as the last. The home is beautifully maintained, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. Everything was perfect, and we’re so thankful for the chance to stay here again. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Awesome Location
This is our family's third time staying at Candice Cove, and we've already booked it again for next year. That should tell you how much we love staying here. The house is in a terrific location. The beach is wide and is at the end of the area where you can drive on the beach. Therefore it tends to be a little quieter (especially during the weekdays) and safer if you bring little ones with you who might be oblivious to vehicles driving around. Anthony, the owner, is extremely responsive and provides everything you could possibly need for your stay. The fact that the property takes dogs is a bonus, and there is ample area to walk them. The property is also very clean. Overall, this property is a winner!

Great Location
First of all the property was very clean upon arrival. The house is an older house but it is nice, it is a historic local house from years ago. Very close to the beach with just a short walk and very nice back porch and sitting area down below. You could not ask for a better owner in Anthony, he is super nice and responded quickly to questions or concerns. I would recommend anyone to stay here and I would definitely return.

Great location
Great beachfront property that is very close to everything! Very near to grocery store, gas station/convenience store, shops, and 18 mins drive to historic downtown! The kitchen is a bit small but it worked for us! We wished there was a dishwasher. But other than that, they have all the kitchen stuff you may need! There was some construction in the basement but it was put away and safe with our kids around. The kids LOVED the outdoor shower! Overall a wonderful and fun stay!
