Welcome to your charming beach bungalow at 537 Tarpon Ave. Located on the serene North end of Amelia Island, just two blocks from beach access. Enjoy proximity to Fort Clinch State Park, with its historic sites, biking and running trails, and Main Beach, offering miniature golf, a playground, a skate park, basketball courts, and two beachfront restaurants. A short drive will take you to Historic Downtown Fernandina, known for its unique shopping and dining experiences.

Unwind in comfort and style at The Blue Whale, a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home just minutes from the sand and surf. Thoughtfully designed for families, couples, or friends traveling together, this inviting retreat is also pet-friendly — so your furry companion can join the fun too!

The spacious living room offers plenty of seating — the perfect spot to kick back after a day on the beach. Stream your favorite shows with ease using the home's complimentary WiFi, or simply relax with a good book and the company of loved ones.

The fully equipped kitchen features generous counter space and all the essentials to cook up anything from beachside breakfasts to homemade dinners. Enjoy meals at the dining table or take them outside to the patio for a laid-back alfresco experience.

Step into the fenced backyard to enjoy some privacy, let your pup stretch their legs, or soak up the coastal breeze. For added convenience, a washer and dryer are available to keep your beachwear fresh throughout your stay.

At the end of the day, retreat to the serene primary suite with a king bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom. The guest room offers a cozy queen bed and TV — perfect for unwinding after a sun-filled day.

With all the comforts of home and the beach just a short distance away, The Blue Whale is the perfect place to make lasting memories.
