Private Beachfront Lighthouse Just Steps to Ocean - Featured on HBO and Dwell

Featured in Dwell Mag. Welcome to Katie's Light, our classic New England style home in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island. Enjoy this 3-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom beachfront escape with a wrap-around deck and uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean. Only steps to the sand through your own private access through the dunes. Watch the dolphins swim along the coast or walk the Egan's Creek to spot migrating birds. Just 5 minutes to historic downtown with great local restaurants and shopping year round.

Katie's Light is an Amelia Island landmark. Built by wooden-boat builders in the 80s' the home is an homage to the Lighthouses of New England.

The house sits on stilts and has space for up to 4 cars to park. A deck at the bottom of the main stairs has an outdoor shower and foot washing station. Our beach toy cabinet filled with boogie boards, skim boards and various sand-castle building tools is also on the deck for easy beach access.

Up the stairs you will find our 360-degree wrap-around deck with Adirondack chairs and tables, the perfect place to spend the day.

The main floor of the house features an open-floor plan. Inside, the kitchen features a new four-burner stove and oven, large refrigerator and freezer and dishwasher. As fellow coffee lovers we also have included a drip coffee machine, french press and Bialetti Moka pot. The dining room has huge table with seating for 8 to easily get the whole family around.

Downstairs, you will also find our TV and library nook. A 50-inch Samsung smart TV and soundbar is out of the way of the main living space so the house doesn't get taken over if somebody is watching a movie. The nook also holds our library collection with tons of great books including mystery novels, American classics and even our photo books of classic Florida and architecture.

Downstairs also has a half-bath, open living room with a super cozy couch and chairs and desk for writing emails if you need. With wifi speeds of 600mb download streaming and work is easy.

A center spiral staircase connects the upstairs where the three bedrooms are. All three bedrooms have king-sized beds. One bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. The other two rooms share a bathroom. We've recently renovated and put all high-end bedding, linens and furniture in.

Beach front living at it's best. One of the coolest and most original homes on the island.
