About this property

Beachfront Bliss with spectacular views


Shipwatch Villas is nestled within the stunning grounds of the Omni Amelia Island Resort.

Our condo offers a delightful retreat within this exclusive resort, where you'll discover over three miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches and meandering waterways awaiting exploration. Set amidst a serene forest of live oaks, you'll find endless opportunities for leisurely strolls and bike rides along the numerous scenic paths. Conveniently located within walking distance from our condo, the Omni Resort presents an array of shops and restaurants, along with a charming miniature golf course set amidst the majestic live oaks. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the diverse wildlife, from birds to turtles, crabs, and the occasional manatee sighting, all thriving in their natural habitat.

Our spacious second-floor condo is meticulously decorated to evoke the comforts of home while imbuing a sense of luxurious resort living. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, a generous walk-in closet, and an expansive master bathroom. The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed with a private bathroom, while the third bedroom boasts two queen-sized beds and its own bathroom. Positioned in the south corner of the Villas, our condo treats you to breathtaking ocean views from the living room, dining area, kitchen, breakfast nook, and the master bedroom. Overlooking a serene relaxation area and green space, our villa also provides access to a seasonally heated pool.

Equipped with televisions in each bedroom and the living room, our condo ensures entertainment for all. We provide plush towels and high-quality sheets for your utmost comfort. The fully stocked kitchen includes a Keurig single cup coffee maker, a standard drip coffee pot, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Upon request, we can provide a Porta-Crib and high-chair for your convenience. Additionally, we strive to enhance your beach and pool experience by offering beach chairs, umbrellas, and various beach toys stored in our condo's storage closet.

Please note that while our complex features an elevator, there are still a few steps to access our condo door upon exiting the elevator, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues.

Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. I am readily available to address any needs you may have during your stay, ensuring prompt attention with the assistance of our dedicated cleaners, handymen, and contractors, all conveniently located on the island.

This premier condo offers an exceptional opportunity for a family getaway or special vacation, promising unforgettable ocean views and proximity to all resort activities. Ranked among the top three islands in the Continental US by Travel and Leisure 2021, Amelia Island guarantees a memorable vacation experience. We highly recommend travelers insurance for added peace of mind.

While this property is not a rental through Omni Amelia Island Resort, guests still have access to the resort's walking and biking trails, spa, nature center, putt-putt, and more. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy various courses in the Amelia Area, including Oak Marsh located on the grounds of the Omni Resort. Bike and golf cart rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that this rental does not grant access to certain resort privileges or amenities like the main hotel pool and fitness center, and Racquet Park is exclusively open to club members and their guests.

Rest assured, our layout adheres to all social distancing guidelines. With outdoor front door entrances and open-air stairwells, there are no enclosed common areas to worry about amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Amelia Island's private beaches ensure minimal crowding, while our rigorous cleaning protocols, following CDC guidelines and Nassau County's protocol, prioritize cleanliness, elegance, and comfort throughout your stay.

Just Beautiful!!

We had a wonderful week at the beach staying at Shipwatch Villas. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The whole property is so clean. The pool is centrally located and such a nice size. We never felt crowded while in the pool and it was always clean. The condo is updated and wonderfully furnished. The beds are very comfortable. The views for the sunrise is incredible. It was a fantastic view from the balcony!Michelle, our host was wonderful. She was just a text away if needed. Her communication with us was over and above. This was one of the nicest experiences we’ve had when renting a condo at the beach.

Absolutely ideal

Beautiful condo with all the amenities, great view, easy access to well kept pool and beach. I can’t think of a better, more relaxing place for our quick getaway weekend. We were there for the beach but it was an easy ride over to Fernandina Beach to enjoy the picturesque town center and eat some absolutely delicious food! We plan to be back!

Favorite Beach Location

Shipwatch is our groups’ favorite beach spot. The pool is fabulous and the beach is awesome. This condo is clean and tidy. But it’s not plush. Furnishings feel like a hotel, not a home.

Wonderful week with family

We enjoyed our stay so much! Three generations of family with plenty of room and a thoughtful layout to stay comfortably. We enjoyed the pool. The weather was very windy during our week but the beach was beautiful. Michelle was extremely responsive… even ordering us a cooler to use for the beach and pool that arrived the following day. The property was clean, well appointed, and so beautiful. We hope to return!

Beautiful updated condo. Kitchen is fabulous!

We had our annual family reunion. 6 condos were rented throughout AIP. Ours was by far the nicest! We loved having access to beach chairs since our car was packed and we left ours at home. We sat on the porch every morning for coffee and watching the sunrise. I loved the lotion they had in the bathroom! Such a nice touch. We loved every minute of our stay at AIP. Thank you for making our week at the beach a 10!!!

Nice Shipwatch Condo

We've stayed at the Amelia Island Plantation resort for 20 years and this was the best condo we've rented. The buildings are older and many condos haven't been updated but this one was remodeled. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. The view isn't as good as some other condos but you can still see the ocean. Very nice of the owner to supply beach towels and plenty of chairs. The kitchen table seating cushions and chairs should be cleaned or replaced but that was the only thing we noticed. We would definitely rent here again!

Amazing Family Vacation

We had a great time on Amelia Island. We stayed because my husband had a conference at a nearby hotel and we needed a place with a bit more space. This was perfect and beautiful. It was fully stocked with chairs and toys for the beach. My kids loved playing in the sand, looking for shells and of course splashing in the ocean. There is also access to a spacious pool. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a few meals and even had a high chair for the baby. We went to downtown Fernandina one night and had a nice dinner with a view to the St Johns river. All the family had a great time. It can get a bit hot in the rooms but they did have some box fans. I also have a hard time sleeping if I’m not at home but the mattress in the master was amazing. No complaints there. I would not hesitate to return. Thank you.

Lovely and peaceful getaway with room to spread out.

This was our family's first experience renting a property online and although we were a bit nervous, it was excellent. When you first enter the unit, it really is stunning and has a lovely view. After staying a day or so you realized how well appointed it is for visitors. Just a few examples, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need in terms of dishes and cookery, the bedrooms each have a clean box fan that can be plugged in to get air circulating as well as laundry baskets, there are beach toys and towels, etc. They really did think of most everything! Our family of five adults and 2 small children had ample room to spend time together - to play, relax, and rest without feeling like it was impossible to get some space when you needed it. We did a grocery pickup at a nearby Walmart and enjoyed eating together around the big table and enjoyed the smart TV access in the family room for logging into Netflix, Disney+, etc. Lastly, not only is the Omni property beautiful, but the other guests at Shipwatch were friendly and it was nice to make vacation friends. Normally I would opt to skip a pool in favor of local experiences, but our pool day was one of our best. We hope to return next year! Things I would note for future renters is that Michelle is very responsive if you have any maintenance or cleanliness issues. Also, the private bath for bedroom two is actually a hall bathroom right across the way. If you have a family you will find it becoming more like the family quick use bathroom because of its convenient location. It's also quite small if you so if have any persons of size in you party you might want to plan who sleeps where accordingly. Also, while the condo does require some stairs to get to, the beach requires twice as many and a jaunt across the sometimes soggy golf course. If that seems a bit daunting or if you don't want to walk through the grass after a big rain, etc. there are 40 local beach access points that are just 5-10 minutes away. We enjoyed our time on Amelia Island and hope to visit again. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly I can fall in love with a new place.

As our guest, you are a priority to me, and I am 'on call' to help you with anything you need during your stay ~ including any problems that could arise or to assist in guidance for fun activities and restaurant suggestions. My cleaners and handy men live nearby and can easily address any issues that need their attention during your stay. I am just a call or text away!

Why they chose this property

We have spared no details or expense to make sure you are comfortable during your vacation. Our number one goal is to have you return for future vacations. Our condo, which has been FULLY renovated has 'high-quality, name-brand' furniture & mattresses, linens, small kitchen appliances, towels, dishes, cookware, etc. We have created an environment within the condo that will hopefully tempt you to go ahead and book your next vacation with us ~ while still at our condo! The amenities at Shipwatch are superior to any condo I've stayed at in Amelia. The pool is over-sized and has a great deck area (including an area with covered tables).

What makes this property unique

You will receive a 'Welcome Packet' (via email) before your arrival that will provide you with all of the information you need (for a smooth check-in, and additional details to enhance your stay). Our Packet also includes restaurant suggestions, info on fun activities located on or near the Resort (ie bike rentals, golf cart rentals etc.), golf course suggestions, door codes, WiFi instructions, and so much more that will be a great reference for you during your vacation.
