This week our team was happy to welcome over 30 of our monthly winter guests to our first Snowbird Social! The local and delicious Meal Ease Market catered breakfast sandwiches, a gluten-free casserole, and huge chocolate chip cookies, which all paired nicely with Starbucks coffee and orange juice as guests and staff mingled.
With Valentine’s Day approaching, we not only wanted to “show the love” to our guests, many of whom have returned to enjoy extended stays at our Amelia Island vacation rentals multiple years, but we also wanted to ask what they love about Amelia Island too. They were happy to share the love for Amelia Island and listed the following reasons why our coastal retreat has captured their hearts:
“I love Amelia! The weather, amenities, restaurants in Fernandina, shopping downtown, & bike trails too!” ~ Chris F. from Maryland

Perhaps our guest Cheryl S. from Georgia summed up what many other guests felt: “Everything!”
Amelia Island has been a beloved destination for visitors and residents alike for centuries, receiving countless travel awards. Just last year, Global Traveler Magazine “shared the love” by ranking Amelia Island the #1 Best Island in the U.S. Also, it ranked #2 in The Best Islands in the Continental U.S. in the 2024 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards and #1 of Florida’s Best Small Beach Towns in Travel Curator in 2023.
