Traveling with young children can be fun and a great way to make memories for the whole family! However, it can also be a hassle when it comes to packing up all the necessary baby equipment, such as strollers, high chairs, car seats, and portable cribs. Especially if traveling with limited space in the family vehicle or arriving at your destination by airplane, sometimes you may have to buy all new items that you have to leave behind!

To address such concerns for traveling parents and caregivers, the Sea Cottages of Amelia has partnered with local BabyQuip provider, Rachael Arrington for all your baby equipment needs! You can visit her site and choose from individual items or a convenience package to use during your stay with us! There is so much more to choose from than just strollers, including toys, baby beach tents, swings, and other specialty items for babies!

The Sea Cottages of Amelia is honored to have achieved Gold Certification by the Audubon International Green Lodging Program for accomplishments in sustainable natural resource management and environmental stewardship!

Sea Cottages of Amelia was one of five Amelia Island hotels who were awarded this year during a ceremony at the Springhill Suites by Marriott. Thanks to Chief Operating Officer, Fred Realbuto, and everyone who organized the event as well as Springhill Suites for hosting!

The Green Lodging Program provides third-party on-site verification that lodging facilities, including Sea Cottages of Amelia, have met environmental best practice standards and have demonstrated a strong commitment to the categories of Communication and Education, Water Conservation, Energy Efficiency, Indoor Air Quality, and Waste Reduction, Reuse, and Recycling.

In addition to our Audubon Certification, the Sea Cottages of Amelia received a One Palm Designation from the State of Florida’s Green Lodging program in 2022.

*After our on-site visit & inspection we met the qualifications for gold, but you’ll notice for the ceremony we had a stand-in silver certificate. The certificate was accepted by one of our owners, Phil Griffin.

Environmentally friendly practices have been implemented throughout our hotel. The following represent just a few of the “green” initiatives we currently have in place as well as green aspects of our design:

1. Donate excess food, toiletry items, furniture, and linens to local charities and shelters
2. Recycle plastic, glass, cardboard, aluminum, and paper products
3. Use energy efficient choices for lighting, appliances, office equipment, and heating/cooling.
4. Xeriscape is using plants requiring little water or care. Many of the plants around the site have drip irrigation so as to avoid a lot of overspray from sprinklers.
5. The construction of the Sea Cottages was designed to preserve 38 out of 41 of the original trees on the property
6. The parking lot was designed to use pebbles instead of concrete, so as not to generate more heat.
