About Us
A Deep Root in Fernandina Beach, Built on a Commitment to Craft
The Boardwalk Vacation Rentals was founded on a simple conviction: a vacation rental should feel like a home designed by someone who actually understands the destination. We don't manage properties from afar — we live here, we know every street, every tide, every hidden gem on Amelia Island.
Our team personally inspects every listing, sources furnishings that reflect the coastal character of the area, and maintains a responsive on-site presence so that your stay is seamless from check-in to check-out. That's the standard we set for ourselves, and it's the standard you can expect.

Amelia Island — Where the Coast Comes Alive
Fernandina Beach sits at the northern tip of Amelia Island, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the St. Johns River. It's a destination that rewards the unhurried traveler — historic districts worth wandering, world-class golf, pristine beaches, and a waterfront that hums with maritime energy.
Whether you're watching pelicans from the pier at sunrise, exploring the Fort Clinch State Park trails, or grabbing the freshest catch at a local seafood shack, this is a place that earns its reputation. Our properties put you at the center of it all.
