A Family Retreat on Island Time

The exterior features a solid masonry facade on the first level that gives way to warm wood siding above. The side gate allows access to outdoor seating and the beach.

For more than 50 years, a beloved family retreat in Amelia Island, Florida, served as the site of many treasured memories for three generations. The house offered beautiful views and unparalleled access to a private beach. Eventually, the family outgrew the quaint, understated cottage, but they didn’t want to part with the treasured scene of so many memorable gatherings. Rather than look for a more accommodating house in a new location, the owners opted to undertake a major overhaul with the help of architect John Dodd and interior designer Kristen Biagini.
