About this home
Fernandina Beach
Coastal Cottage tucked within lush no maintenance native Florida landscaping, the home feels like a private garden retreat walking distance to the beach. The generous 100x100 lot size provides rare space and flexibility, offering room to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peaceful coastal setting. Inside, vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the entire home, offering easy, low maintenance care that makes cleanup simple after sandy beach days. The primary suite opens to a spacious screened lanai with private views, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening breezes. A detached guest cottage adds versatility and appeal, complete with air conditioning, a kitchenette, half bath, and an enclosed outdoor shower that captures the essence of classic Florida beach living. Whether used for guests, a studio, or additional entertaining space, it enhances the property's unique coastal charm.

Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Sun & Light
East-facing backyard — the morning-light lot
The listing reports the home facing west, which puts the backyard on the east side. Today at this address: sunrise 7:25 AM, sunset 6:59 PM.
- The rear takes the sunrise and the gentle morning sun, then goes shaded through the afternoon — the classic comfortable-summer-evening lanai in Florida.
- A pool back here warms with the morning and sits in shade by late afternoon: cooler water than a west lot, and evening swims without the glare.
- The front of the home carries the hot western afternoon instead of your living space.
Orientation per the MLS listing; sun paths are seasonal geometry for Northeast Florida, not a shade study — trees, screening, and neighboring structures change the picture on any specific lot.

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$12,400/yr
Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 435 current Nassau listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
