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.

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.

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.

Worst VRBO Ever
Candice Cove is the worst Vrbo rental we have ever encountered! The Host contacted us just hours before we were to arrive to let us know Half the house was under construction due to storm damage!!! We didn’t have time to find another place!!! The house was full of mold!!! Dirty! Sheets smelled !! The house was uneven and the floors sagged! Couldn’t use the whole downstairs or the outside courtyard! Trash was thrown on both sides of home and huge construction was going on in front of property. We left on the 3rd day! Host only refunded us 300.00 when we requested a full refund! I will be informing VRBO! He could have notified us in November that the house was damaged.. but waited until hours before arriving!

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!

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 :)

This is the second time we have rented this property and have already booked it again for next year. You can't beat the oceanfront location. The wide beach is just steps from the door and was never crowded, even on the weekends. Although the house is small it is well appointed. It contains everything you need for a lovely beach vacation and is always very clean upon arrival. Anthony, the owner, is very responsive without being intrusive. Just a terrific property. We are already looking forward to next year.

A Wonderful Experience
The owners set the gold standard for hospitality. Throughout our stay, they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, leaving thoughtful touches that genuinely made us feel at home. A highlight of the property was the exquisite outdoor area. Not only is it beautifully landscaped, but it also features a refreshing outdoor shower and a well-equipped bar area — perfect for unwinding and entertaining. The proximity to Burney Park is another major plus. It's a pleasant stroll away, offering an excellent opportunity for a peaceful walk and a prime vantage point to appreciate the ocean views, even if one chooses not to or cannot tread on the beach sands. We did encounter a minor hiccup due to unforeseen natural circumstances, but the owners were proactive and swift in their response. Before the rest of our party arrived, they had already taken measures to address and remedy the situation, displaying their utmost dedication to their guests. In summary, our stay was not just about renting a home but experiencing genuine warmth and care from the owners. With its prime location and outdoor amenities, this rental is a haven for those looking to immerse themselves in coastal charm. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a wonderful rental experience.
