We were on Amelia Island and the Jacksonville area for our son's wedding weekend. We needed a place that was easy to access, had all the amenities (and updated, nice amenities, I might add) and could accommodate 4-5 couples. Buccaneer Bungalow checked all those boxes and then some. First, the open kitchen leading into the open living room with plenty of seating and a huge kitchen island gave us a place to congreate in the mornings and at night -- perfect for big groups who want more time interacting. Just off the kitchen is the screen in patio. I'm the Dad of this group and had work to do, so the screened in patio was a perfect office space to get away but still see what's going on inside. The bathrooms/showers are relatively newly remodeled, so their big, bright and luxurious. Same with the kitchen and appliances.The location was great, too. We're runners and wanted to run on the beach in the mornings. I didn't measure the distance exactly, but there was an easy mile or so run through a neighborhood before we were on the beach. We got in 4 mile runs each morning and that's just about perfect for us. We are also eaters, and once again the location was great. We were just minutes drive from historic Fernandina Beach with all of its great restaurants and bars.Finally, the owner/manager/host Brian was outstanding. Not too much, not too little. As the title of this review says, this was the best rental experience ever.
