Wonderful place!
We lucked out finding this place for a last minute vacation! It was perfect… The location, amenities, cleanliness, everything! Kitchen is well stocked. Having the beach toys, chairs and towels was great since we didn’t have those with us traveling. We will definitely be back!

Great Place
I'm never one to leave a tough review, though I just want to point out a few things. I think the cleaning fee is too high for the level of cleanliness. The place was great, pretty clean, but for the price I'd want spotless + obviously locatable extras like towels, papers, etcetera. The furniture and bed are very worn in and extremely soft. In a world where mattresses can ship in a box, I would like something that is more firm. I'm not being picky, but the bed clearly is worn, as are the couches. Happy that there were beach chairs and an umbrella. Plenty of room. Outstanding location in the building and on the property that made it extremely convenient to check in and out. I would absolutely stay again, but would hope for a few small changes.

Great stay
First, I want to say how clean this property was! Seriously, the cleanest beach property I've ever stayed. It had everything we needed and a beautiful view. Very quick walk to the pool and the beach as well as plenty of parking. We had a minor issue of not receiving any check-in instructions, but we were able to call and it was handled quickly.

Perfect, clean, quiet
We needed to be on Amelia Island for a wedding. We found this condo and it was everything it was reviewed as and more. We were nervous with our two year old how this would go but it couldn’t have been better. The condo is in an awesome location right next to the ritz. Plenty of space to spread out on the beach. Even though it overlooks the pool we never had a sound problem at all. The entire complex seemed very clean and everyone was super friendly. The condo itself was clean, comfortable and perfect for 3 adults and a toddler. We will absolutely hope to stay here again.

Amelia Island is gorgeous and the beach is wonderful. The condo was in excellent condition and very well stocked for the beach and for cooking. The communications for arrival and staying there were right on target. The bedroom layouts were good for privacy and quiet. We had a wonderful vacation.

The perfect visit!
We had a wonderful stay in Amelia Island and the condo was fabulous! It was beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and fully stocked / equipped with anything we could have needed. We loved the extra light from being in an end unit, and truly every time we’d think of something we may need, we’d find it neatly stored in a closet or perfectly placed in the kitchen. Somehow this condo manages to be neat, clean, bright, and spacious but also has everything you could possibly need! We love being right by the pool, with easy access to the beach and amazing views. Our family of 6 is already planning our next stay!

As the description states, it was truly an Amelia Island gem! The condo was immaculate, well appointed with thoughtful amenities. It was very comfortable for the four of us; having double beds instead of twin beds in the second bedroom was a plus. Access was easy with a punch code. The pool was close and we enjoyed it several times during our stay as well as walks on beach which was a short walk away. Would certainly recommend it for anyone looking for inviting, comfortable condo on Amelia Island.

The location was perfect, the property was clean and well stocked and exactly as pictured. Our beach access was an easy two minute walk, and we enjoyed amazing sunrises over the water from our balcony each morning. Quiet, easy to get to the grocery store and wonderful restaurants. We will definitely keep this on our list to stay again should we come back to the area. Thank you so much!

Awesome condo
We had a great time! Perfect size. Great location. So many restaurants and shops within 10 miles. Grocery store less than 2 miles away. Condo was spotless and furnished perfectly. Perfect supplies of kitchen stuff (pans, dinnerware, etc) . It was so nice to have the washer and dryer too. Everything looked so brand new. Can't beat being on the beach and hearing the ocean from the balcony. Very clean property..inside and outside. And so many golf courses within just a couple miles of condo. Highly recommend. Thanks for sharing!
