Stunning views, super comfortable beds, most convenient location ever, quiet condo. Four adults who loved the easy access to pool and ocean. Easy to cook in the well equipped kitchen; great table for playing cards; great lighting for reading, never a problem parking. All these things made for a perfect vacation spot.

Accommodations were perfect. The two bedrooms and two baths were an ideal set up. Location was about 100 yards from the beach! Ocean and beautiful sunrise views. A lot of great dining options are a short drive away. I would definitely stay again!!

The condo was very clean & nicely decorated. It was situated on a nice area of Amelia. Communication with Stacie was excellent. The only reason I gave a 4 Star on the property was because someone dropped a glass jar of salsa in one of the parking spaces & it stayed there for 2 days. I will definitely come again. Thanks!

Stacie - Stay Better Vacations
From the moment I booked communication with this host was exceptional. They provided lots of extra information (like a digital guestbook, text messages, etc.) The place was clean and I was really able to just relax. I felt the location was good. You can go to any side of the island within 10min. We were just looking for a place close to the beach to relax. We were looking for a low key holiday not filled with to much "stuff" This is exactly what we experienced. Thank you for letting us stay at your place

This was our 2nd time staying at Fernadina Beach and we LOVE it here. The condo was so clean and had everything that we needed. We always look for beach / ocean front and prefer the bottom floor and a pool. This was perfect! The maintenance guy was super nice and checked the lawn, pool, etc several times a day. We will definitely be saying here again… probably next year! ❤️

It was great sitting on the back porch at ground level watching sea turtles digging holes in the sand in the dunes to lay eggs. Rabbits hanging around eating in the dunes. I even saw a raccoon. Beautiful sunrises and a very short walk to the beach. Only problem there are 10 steps at the end of the boardwalk. Not handicap friendly.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Wanda! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed watching the sea turtles, rabbits, and even a raccoon from the back porch, along with the beautiful sunrises and short walk to the beach.
We appreciate your note about the accessibility of the boardwalk. For future stays, please note that there is a handicap accessible beach access with a Mobi Mat at Main Beach, which may be more suitable for your needs. If you plan to stay with us again, please let us know in advance of any accommodations you require so we can recommend the right location for you.
Thank you again for choosing Stay Better Vacations. We look forward to welcoming you back!

master bed mattress too soft. could have a few better kitchen knives, parking tight as we came in with bikes on back, wouldn't want to navigate that if parking lot full but for our stay it was quite empty
Anita H.
Response from VrboOwner on 7 May 2024
Thank you for taking time to leave feedback Antia! The owner has replaced both mattresses and added new knives to the kitchen per your suggestions.
We enjoyed the property and felt safe and comfortable in the unit. The overall property and process was perfect and seamless. We had no real issues whatsoever. The beachfront view was amazing. And we watched bunny rabbit and turtles roam the area all day. We had a minor issue with bathroom cleanliness. 1) I would ask that the shower curtain liners be changed they’re old and very dingy. Also the secondary bathroom (upfront) needed to be wiped with cleaning spray upon arrival. It didn’t smell clean - it needed a quick wipe down before unpacking and relaxing.

Just a few days before we were scheduled to leave for Amelia Island, we were notified that a change in unit was necessary. This made me uncomfortable and I was initially not happy. However, Stacie, Jaimee, & Pam quickly eased my concerns and the unit we were assigned was beautiful. We had several requests that were resolved in a timely and professional manner--including supplying the unit with a brand-new Keurig coffee maker. These 3 ladies exemplified customer service, which is so lacking in today's world. Thank you so much! We loved the location on the island and the proximity to the beach. We will certainly return!

First floor end unit is, easy access to the boardwalk and beach. Clean surroundings esp the pool area. I spent most of my time at the patio facing the ocean and listening to the surf, feels like heaven. The grill and lounge chairs are an added plus. Stacie was great responding to me quickly with my questions. The rooms and kitchen were clean and well supplied. We may come back in few months. Please be aware that they only provide one parking spot and there is no metered overnight parking in the entire Amelia Island.

Thank you for the review Lourdes and we are glad you enjoyed your stay.
We realize the parking situation isn't ideal, but the listing clearly says there is only one parking spot. We also communicate after each booking is made to ensure that this is understood and to also let guests know that there is no paid public parking.
It is unfortunate that our efforts to be upfront and clear about the parking situation are sometimes overlooked by guests.
