Really great place! Had everything we needed and was very clean. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot and spacious. The area was quiet and we felt safe. Pretty view of tennis courts and pool. Grounds and buildings kept well check in/out was easy. In the dark it’s a little hard to see the letters on the buildings and the map provided really helped.

Beautiful home
So close to pool and a short walk to the beach!!! The house is newly renovated and everything is beautiful. This development is quiet and secure. Shopping is a short drive and so is the town which is both quaint and historic. Definitely a great time!

Beautiful Townhouse with lots of Amenities
This townhouse was absolutely beautiful with lots of "beachy" touches. It was large and roomy with bright colors and an open, welcoming layout. We loved it so much that I have already inquired about renting the same one next year.

Hi Angela! We apologize for missing your review. Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved the townhouse and its beachy touches, spacious layout, and welcoming atmosphere. It’s great that you enjoyed your stay so much that you’re already thinking about returning next year! We’d be more than happy to host you again!
The condo was clean, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all utensils/cookware needed, and there was plenty of bath towels. The unit is located at the back of the property, so the walk to the beach was about 7 min which was fine for us. There are stairs to get to the condo and to the beach, so you’ll need two people for hauling a wagon. The beach was perfect and clean and not crowded at all at this access point. We were very happy with our stay.

My grand nieces and nephews come to stay with me over the summer. With little money we wanted to take a beach trip but had very little money. We were able to spend 3 nights which was greatly enjoyed. Could have used more pots and pans.

Easy to walk to beach, walkable to Sliders and Dairy Queen. Unit is well set up, comfortable, good amount of space for the price. Mattresses are comfortable. Can’t hear other residents. Kitchen has anything needed. Internet is reliable and fast. I’d rent again!

We were so lucky this home was available for our long weekend trip. The location was absolutely perfect, just a couple blocks from the beach with plenty to do all around us. The home was clean and furnished with everything we needed. Above all else, this particular property manager was phenomenal. I received communication with pertinent information regarding our stay before our arrival, they personally called us after we checked in to make sure we were happy with everything and they went above and beyond after I left my MacBook behind, shipping it back to my home immediately. I truly can not recommend this property manager enough. Their attention to detail and personal touches did not go unnoticed and were very much appreciated. I hope to have the pleasure of staying at their properties in the future.
Thank you!

We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the very near future!
This is our 5th year at Amelia Island, also our 5th year in the community this condo is located. This unit is was extremely comfortable and the owner has done a fantastic job updating the interior and decorating! Kitchen was well stocked for the meals we cooked 'in' (Taco Tuesday!) and the breakfast bar was a hit with my 8 year old. We enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony after dinner for a cocktail and enjoying the beach breezes before setting off on our nightly beach walks. Beds are very comfortable, I would just encourage anyone picky about their pillow to bring their own. There are a few beach chairs for use which is nice...if you are like us and pack tons of items for a full day at the beach, bring your own wagon or cart. The walk is easy and short but a wagon/cart make it much easier. Community has plenty of places to hose off beach gear but this unit also has a hose outside the door for added clean up is needed.
If we have not made a permanent move to AI by next summer we will hope to stay here again!

Quiet, close to beach, accessible to everything
My husband and I stayed March 2017 and enjoyed our time on Amelia Island. Condo unit pretty will equipped but could use a few more items like a carrot pealer, blankets for the beds. All we're only a sheet and puffs that we're not duvet covers to change or wash. Over all the place was pretty clean but could use more detailed cleaning in quite a few areas like interior doors, top of refrigerator and vents. Front entrance door could only be locked with deadbolt and you can see light shining through. Dining area ceiling had a leak and was not repaired. Shower upstairs leaks through the glass because of the gap between the glass doors. Windows upstairs no screens. And windows downstairs has sealant leakage. Now with all these items are only suggestions to make the place more appealing. We were very surprised how quiet and well maintained out side the units were. The pool is crystal clear. Cold but clean.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your well decorated condo. Loved hearing the ocean at night.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We greatly appreciate the feedback and hope to learn from our guests on ways in which we can better the property to accommodate all of our renters needs. We will certainly look at adding some kitchen items! We have notified the cleaning staff about the issues there, and those have been resolved. The dining area ceiling leak has been fixed, but we have had a difficult time getting someone in to repair the ceiling around our guests. It will be repaired in the next week however! The deadbolt and knob on the front door have been updated with new models. We would love to have you back again soon!
