Lighthouses hold a special significance to many people. The life-saving nature of these buildings makes them fascinating historic structures and powerful symbols. Lighthouse tourism and collection is a popular pastime all over the country. So wouldn't it be wonderful to actually stay in a lighthouse in Florida? There's one historic lighthouse on Amelia Island where you can spend the night.
Would you like to stay in a lighthouse on the east coast? This beautiful lighthouse on Amelia Island is called Katie's Light.
It's a replica of the iconic Thomas Point Lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, which dates back to 1875.
Instead of being stuck in the middle of the bay, however, this lovely replica is located right on a quiet stretch of beach on Florida's northernmost barrier island, making it the perfect destination for a family vacation or a romantic getaway.
The lighthouse has plenty of space, with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. It can accommodate up to eight guests. The price varies by season, and you can check the pricing on Airbnb.
No matter the cost, just remember that you will be renting out the entire house. If you split the cost with a few friends, it would actually be pretty affordable (and unforgettable) lodging.
The first floor features a large space with a combined dining area, entertainment space, and kitchen.
A spiral staircase leads up to the cozy bedrooms. With charming wood floors and ceilings, the lighthouse has an old-fashioned feel, but plenty of modern amenities.
Katie's Light sits right on the beach, with a wrap-around deck with the perfect waterfront view of every sunrise and sunset during your stay.
Of all the lighthouses you can stay in, Katie's Light is one of the most charming.
Guests can enjoy the solitude like a true lighthouse keeper or take in all that Fernandina Beach has to offer, from excellent dining and shopping opportunities downtown to the outdoor adventures at Fort Clinch State Park.
All in all, this vacation sounds like a dream come true.
