Green's Light is No More
I am getting ready to deactivate the AirBNB listing for the Lighthouse. I wanted to preserve the pictures, description and reviews to look back on.
While we had it in the rental market from February through November 2016, we had numerous bookings. At first, we used ERA to manage the property because the previous owners had used them. We had 11 ERA bookings totaling 65 nights between 2/26/2016 & 6/4/2016. We paid ERA a 25% commission on the rentals.
In June, we started managing the property ourselves using AirBNB as our booking engine. From 6/4/2016 to 11/28/2016, we had 25 AirBNB bookings for a total of 101 nights. The AirBNB Fee was only 3.6%.
We only had one friend who was a paying guest. We gave him a 20% friend discount.
We had 16 reviews with an average rating of 4.5 Stars!

Thank you to all who rented the Lighthouse on AirBNB last year! We have taken it off of the rental market and have decided to live there ourselves. Stay tuned - we will have our condo at Sand Dollar Villas up for rent later this year!
This unique rustic 2 BR 2 BA house on the beach looks like a lighthouse. Watch the sunrise in air conditioned comfort from the bedroom or enjoy the 360 degree view from the top level Crow's Nest. Step off of the back deck right onto the beach!

This is a wonderful place to stay! Amazing view! Awesome little house with cute crows nest. Right on the beach and pet friendly. We couldn't believe how close we were to everything. BJ made us feel so welcome and answered all our questions super quickly and gave great suggestions on things to do and places to eat. If you are looking for a place to stay then look no further!
Loved this unique beach home with the most amazing views from every room!! My son thought it was so cool that he was able to see dolphins from the loft window! The hostess was friendly and accommodating--great recommendations on restaurants and things to do, thanks!
Une maison atypique magnifique, un lieu unique, une plage sauvage, tous les ingrédients réunis pour passer un séjour inoubliable. Je recommande particulièrement cette maison et cette destination. A notre arrivée, notre hôte nous avait également mis sur la table une très bonne bouteille de vin blanc !
Loved our stay at Greens Light!! The views of the ocean from every window are amazing!! Being directly on the beach was exactly what we were looking for . We will definitely return. Thanks BJ!!
If you don't read anything else in this review, if BJ's Lighthouse is available, do yourself a favor and book it! My wife and I began our honeymoon here and couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in, nor a better location/town to experience. After a flight into Jacksonville and an easy drive to Amelia Island, we were welcomed by a bottle of wine and snacks. BJ's recommendations were a tremendous way to start exploring the many treasures Amelia Island has to offer. Furthermore, the lighthouse is the most unique property we saw on the island. Make sure to take advantage of the Crow's Nest every once in a while. Wake up to see the sunrise, then get some coffee and breakfast at Amelia Island Coffee, take the boat tour past Cumberland Island, lay on what is basically your private beach for a few hours, explore the many fun restaurants off of Centre St downtown, and finish off your day on the back porch listening to the midnight waves. Thank you BJ for an amazing time at Green's Light! We hope to come back on one of our milestone anniversaries. Joe & Jenna
We could not have asked for a better location for our trip, as shown, the lighthouse is right on the beach and the beach is so peaceful without too much activity. BJ & Tony were excellent hosts, always replying to my questions immediately before and during our stay. The house is a neat concept house, but could use a few updates, we hope to return in years to come to see what BJ & Tony do with the place! Overall, we felt safe, comfortable, relaxed and couldn't have asked for a better location for watching the sunrise or the moonrise! This place is a treasure for sure!
What an amazing experience! This was a birthday vacation for me and I couldn't have had a better time. We not only fell in love with the house itself; we fell in love with the whole island. Our first trip to Amelia Island will most definitely not be our last. Our dog had the most amazing time with basically the whole beach to ourselves for the extent of our trip. All of the restaurant recommendations were spot on, right down to the pizza joint! Thank you again so much for letting us enjoy your amazing place on Amelia Island!
This is really a spectacular property, right on the beach...and what a beach it is!! It extends to the horizon on both sides, and while we were there, most of the time we had the beach to ourselves with the occasional dog walker or jogger. The residence is immaculate and the views are sublime. Please keep this place a secret!
The home was very cozy and welcoming! The host's were very accommodating and responsive and left a bottle of wine as a housewarming gift.
they left for us a bottle of wine. ocean really close and when you woke up you see and hear it. but house need some management attention like clean AC, cheap paint, shower on second floor, remove grass from way to ocean windows didn't stop when opening
The Lighthouse is in a beautiful location with beautiful views of the ocean/sunrises. The atmosphere was refreshing, however, the amenities needed refreshing also.

This beach house was truly amazing. It far exceeded our expectations. Being literally on the beach with all the comforts of home made our vacation so relaxing. The sun and moon rises were awe inspiring and breathtaking. Our Boston Terrier, Lucy had an absolute blast !! What a pleasure it was being able to bring her along. The rental process was such a breeze.
