About this home
Fernandina Beach
Enjoy low-maintenance living in The Cottages at Stoney Creek, a gated community offering comfort, convenience, and flexibility. This 3-Bedroom, 2.5-Bath home features a functional layout with a Half Bath on the main level and all of the Bedrooms upstairs for added privacy. The Building has new Roof in 2025. Recent updates include a new HVAC System in 2025 and new LVP flooring downstairs providing a strong foundation for the next owner. This home is move-in ready while also offering a blank canvas for buyers who want to add their own style and updates over time. Residents enjoy access to a gated entrance, private neighborhood setting, and community pool, all with a low HOA fee -- making everyday living simple and manageable. Ideally located just a short drive from Amelia Island, the beaches, dining, shopping, and historic downtown Fernandina Beach, this home offers both convenience and coastal accessibility.
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.

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Hurricane evacuation zone F
Zone F evacuates after zones A, B, C, D, E in an approaching storm.
Roof: Shingle — 2025 per the listing
A recent roof is the single biggest lever on Florida homeowners-insurance pricing.
Sewer · FL0116793 - Nassau Regional WWTF · Public water · JEA
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by FL0116793 - Nassau Regional WWTF — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,775 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeAs of July 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$4,600/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.
