The Blue Whale - Just Blocks to the Beach

Stay Better Vacations welcomes you to your charming beach bungalow at 537 Tarpon Ave. Located on the serene North end of Amelia Island, just two blocks from beach access.

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 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.
