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
