Beautiful property! We loved waking up to the ocean each day. The space fit us perfectly. The area was very nice, quiet and easy to get to everything. We would stay again!
We had an incredible stay! The pool was very nice and pretty warm considering it is early March. The room was very well stocked and beautiful. We had a pretty good beach view from our balcony and even got to see a tortoise several days munching on grass on our way back to the room from the beach.

Thank you, Jennifer, for the lovely review. We are so happy to hear you loved the condo and found it well stocked. That's also great that the pool, which is seasonally heated, was enjoyable and you got to enjoy the property's ocean views and spotting gopher tortoises! We would love to have you back for another incredible stay! Please don't hesitate to let us know if you're coming back to Amelia Island!
Perfect condo. Well equipped! Even had beach chairs, crockpot & cookie sheets! And beach towels!!! Great washer& dryer too. Easy access to pool & beach. First floor was wonderful & views were perfect. The 3 sided lanai was amazing as total privacy & sun & wind protection. Great layout for our family!

Roxanne, thanks so much for sharing this feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you loved our Shipwatch condo for your big group! Yes, the close proximity to the beach and pool is so convenient! Your suggestion of the wheeled bag/cart for groceries is helpful, although some guests prefer to carry due to the few stairs required. Thanks again for being our guest and we hope you return soon!
Loved the condo for our recent family getaway. Close to the beach and a great layout for all 3 families to be very comfortable and enjoy quality time together. Amelia island never disappoints!

For the last several years myself, sister n law and best friend have taken our kids on a mommy and me beach trip. Finding a space that allows us to stay together and have easy access to the beach and pool is so important and this location did it all!! The condo was clean and provided so much to make our stay unforgettable.
