Candice Cove is one of the Historic homes on American Beach Oceanfront. American Beach is a historic HOA beach community located north of Jacksonville, Florida on Amelia Island in Nassau County. During the time of segregation and the Jim Crow era, African Americans were not allowed to swim at most of beaches in Jacksonville, and several black-only areas were created. American Beach was the largest and most popular, and was a community established by Abraham Lincoln Lewis, Florida’s first black millionaire and president of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company.

American Beach was founded in 1935 by Florida’s first black millionaire, Abraham Lincoln Lewis, and his Afro-American Life Insurance Company. The plan was for his employees to have a place to vacation and own homes for their families by the shore. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, summers at American Beach were busy with families, churches and children. It was a place where African Americans could enjoy “Recreation and Relaxation Without Humiliation”. The beach included hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs as well as homes and other businesses.

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.

Loved our stay!

This house was the perfect getaway for 4 adults and 2 small children. Older house with tons of character and very clean. Awesome bar/hangout area underneath as well! Great location that isnt busy and we had the beach all to ourselves. Anthony was in contact with us through the week with anything we needed for our stay!

Relaxing Stay

We loved our stay at your beach house. It was clean, well decorated, had comfortable beds, great views and close beach access. We enjoyed the porch, deck and back patio with the outside shower. So much room to relax and enjoy the beautiful area with our pup. We also liked the historical books and cookbook re America Beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Location is everything in my opinion when going to the beach. This rental location was perfect. Waking up to the sunrises daily and being a walk over the dune to the ocean was exactly what this Colorado family needed!

First Beach Trip this year May 3 2025

Overall everything was nice. Not far to the beach. Very private. Everything was well stocked. Host was very courteous and easy to get in touch with if you had a question. There was still damage from the hurricane to the lower inside, but it is under construction as I speak. We had a lovely time and beautiful weather. I would definitely recommend this cottage. Hated to leave.

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!

Perfect Vacation Spot

My family was very impressed with our stay at Candice Cove. It was extremely clean and the owner went the extra mile and had toilet paper, paper towels, soap, first aid kits, and even more amenities you may need. The location could not have been better! The beach in front of the property felt like our own oasis as it was not crowded and so convenient to the house. My entire family agreed it was one of our favorite vacations ever :)

If you are looking for a modern high rise with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, this place isnt for you. But, if you want a quaint, clean beach bungalow steps from the ocean, lots of outdoor seating spaces, and a very responsive host then this is(Anthony), then this is the place you want.

We couldn’t have asked for a better location! This charming beach house is right on the beach, 1 mile beach walk to the Omni and 1.75 mile beach walk to The Ritz. Our kids were spoiled by the accessibility to the beach - so convenient to come back to eat lunch, use the facilities, etc. We had plenty of room for our party of five. The next time we are on Amelia Island, we will be staying here!

Beach Getaway

What a gem of a place! Perfect location, easy to find, within 20 mins of downtown to go shopping at cute stores and enjoy great food at local restaurants. We explored multiple trails and enjoyed the beach. Lots of bike paths are available. Locals are friendly! The owner is attentive and helped quickly when the front door lock had issues. Also, hurricanes came through and they are repairing the bar area so the outside downstairs area was closed. But that was ok with us. Great place and we recommend for anyone wanting a cozy place on the beach.
