My husband and I just spent a week at this property as a little mini honeymoon and it was wonderful. There was plenty of space, all the rooms were clean and we had all the amenities we needed. The view from the balcony is phenomenal and being just a few steps away from the pool and beach was super convenient. I would definitely recommend this host and we would love to stay here again someday.

We have been coming to Amelia island for over 20 yrs and this is the 1st time we stayed at this oceanfront penthouse. The highlight was definitely the balcony, it’s spacious, private, and offers incredible views of the ocean. We spent a lot of time out there, whether it was morning coffee, watching the sunrise, or just listening to the waves at night. There is also a small balcony facing the west where you can view incredible sunsets.Inside, the condo felt open and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax. Large windows and sliding doors let in tons of natural light and kept the ocean view front and center even when indoors. The location couldn’t be better—short walk to the water with easy beach access, which made it simple to go back and forth throughout the day. The fabulous pool was also steps from our condo with plenty of lounge chairs.One minor thing, the condo does not provide pool or beach towels nor do they provide beach chairs but this did not take away from the overall positive experience.Communication was great with our host, she called us the night we checked in to make sure everything went smoothly and to ask if we needed any thing else.We’ll definitely come back.

Thank you for the review. Glad the oceanfront penthouse—and its spacious, private balcony with incredible views—were highlights for morning coffee, sunrises, sunsets, and evenings listening to the waves. Happy the condo felt open and comfortable with great natural light, that the location and easy beach access worked well, and that you enjoyed the pool. We appreciate the note about pool/beach towels and chairs and will keep that in mind. Glad our team’s check-in call went smoothly. We appreciated having you and look forward to welcoming you back.

We enjoyed another stay in Amelia Island but left wanting more from the condo. Most of this is on me as the description and pictures are accurate. One of the things I overlooked when booking were the lack of beach towels and chairs for our trips to the ocean. After staying in several different properties within the Omni previously, this was the first that didn't provide beach accessories. Away from that, the unit was fairly dated in both the structure and overall furnishings. Again though, in hindsight this was all very much documented in the photos. Check-in was a breeze and I felt as though if I ever needed anything help was just a text away.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us again and for taking the time to share this feedback. I’m glad check-in was easy and our team was responsive. I’m sorry the condo didn't meet your expectations. You’re right that the listing photos reflect the unit, but your note about beach towels and chairs was helpful. We’re planning phased updates to the condo to improve comfort. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Amelia Island. Best regards, Amelia Best Vacation Rentals & Realty
