Ocean Place is located on beautiful Amelia Island which boasts some of the most beautiful beaches and golf courses in Florida. Ocean Place at Summer Beach is one of the most beautiful properties on the island. It is located in the exclusive gated community of Summer Beach Resort and is right next door to the world-renowned Ritz Carlton Amelia Island hotel and Spa. At the Ritz, you may enjoy fine dining, spa treatments, tennis, golf and shopping.
This beautiful two bedroom two bath condominium is located directly on the beach and is located on the 5th floor and provides spectacular views and incredible sun rises. This condominium was completely renovated in June, 2009 which included new paint, new furniture, new art work, new 40" flatscreen HDTV, new ceiling fans, new bathroom fixtures,lamps, plush new bedding, etc. We decorated our condo to be like a second home and not a "rental condo", because we want our guest to feel like they are at home. Sleep with the doors open and listen to the crashing waves and see the moon from your bed. Then arise in the morning to the most beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. You can sit out on the deck, and while having your morning coffee, watch the dolphins and sea gulls having their morning breakfast behind the shrimp boats.
Downtown in Fernandina, you will find the oldest seaport in the U.S. which has a rich heritage due in part to the fact that it has been under eight different flags. My family loves to stroll around downtown, especially at night among the lighted trees. We love to visit the quaint shops and wonderful restaurants. Especially fun also, is a horse and buggy ride and tour of historic Fernandina. Additionally, there are jet ski, parasails, and inland/offshore fishing charters available for hire. A short ferry ride can take you to beautiful Cumberland Island, the only national sea shore on the East Coast.

Why the Owner Chose Amelia City
We absolutely loved the location next to the Ritz because we have three boys, who all love to golf and the golf course is located right next door. We love the bike/walking paths located throughout Summer Beach where our children like to ride their bikes and skateboards. There is always someone available for the children to play with, however, the beaches are not crowded at all.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our unit is located on the fifth floor in the middle of the building which offers complete unobstructed views of the ocean in all directions for as far as the eye can see. There are two pools at Ocean Place to enjoy so you don't feel as though you have to fight for a spot at the pool. The condominium community is gated which gives us peace of mind about our security. We have free WI-FI service so you can connect to the outside world IF YOU CHOOSE TO, 3 televisions with cable and DVR service, with 200 channels included, and free long distance phone service to anywhere in the USA and Canada.
Owner's Map of Amelia City
My husband's family has been vacationing in Amelia Island for about 35 years. After we got married and had children we began bringing our own family here on vacation. My children never wanted to go anywhere else. For several years we spent the entire month of July here. Our family's most treasured memories are of this Island. We decided that we wanted to own our own little piece of Heaven on Amelia Island, so we began looking around and finally settled on Ocean Place. We now have three almost grown boys, ages 20,18, and 16 and they still love going to Amelia Island to vacation, even after all of these years. There really is something for all ages to enjoy. We hope that you will love our home away from home as much as we do and we look forward to sharing it with you.

Beautiful Condo

Review Submitted: 02/01/12
The minute I opened the front door, I knew that I was going to love my stay on Amelia Island. The condo was perfect – nicely decorated, clean and had a large private balcony with a table, chairs and lounge chairs. We stayed for a month and felt very comfortable at the condo. It is well stocked. This was our first visit to Amelia Island and we were busy every day. We ate at many of the restaurants, purchased fresh seafood at the downtown marina, went on a ghost tour, a trolley tour, went to Cumberland Island and took the Lands and Legacy tour, rode our bikes to Fort Clinch, downtown and to the south end of the island, played golf, toured the Amelia Island Museum of History, and had a rum punch at the Palace Saloon. We walked on the beach every day and found lots of shark teeth. The dolphins were plentiful. We will be making a return trip to the island in the near future and will stay at the Barry’s condo once again.
Owner response:Carol, Your kind comments are greatly appreciated. I'm so glad that you had a good time and we would love for you to make a return trip. Jan

This is a beautiful condo, great location, extremely comfortable, great balcony and furniture, with beautiful views. This is now our favorite place and we will be back. Owner great to work with, everything was easy and hassle free. Loved it, had a wonderful time!

We stayed for a wedding at the Ritz. The condo is beautifully appointed, Jan goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable. The balcony is fantastic - sat out there in the mornings to just enjoy the sound of the waves and the sun on the water. So many shells, and good ones, on the beach! Went into the historic section of the island - cute shops, lots of people walking, very friendly. I would reccommend this home to anyone wanting a fun and/or relaxing beach vacation!

Jan and family... thank you so very much for the wonderful family getaway. Your condo was everything your listing said and more. This was our first trip to the area but will definitely not be our last. Your condo was decorated beautifully and I enjoyed all the personal touches including the pictures of your boys. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed the balcony. What a breathtaking view!! Although this was a very last minute trip, you went out of your way to make sure our stay was a hit and it certainly was. Thanks so much!!

Fabulous, Family-Friendly Vacation With All The Perks!

Review Submitted: 08/22/11
This is our fourth time vacationing on Amelia Island and this is BY FAR our favorite place we've stayed (and that includes The Ritz!)! It has all the comforts of home and truly the best stocked kitchen. The condo is beautifully decorated and maintained. Everything we needed and wanted was easily found and accessible, down to the smallest detail. It made the trip with a pre-schooler easy - which is a HUGE compliment! And the condo is just steps from the ocean with the most gorgeous view! We had dinner a couple of nights on the balcony because it was just so lovely. The owners are a dream - thoughtful, kind, organized! We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful, quiet condo
Guest: Orange Joy

Date of Stay: 07/24/11
Review Submitted: 08/19/11
Possibly one of the most beautiful in decor with the best stocked kitchen we have ever stayed in. Attention to detail, like a personal note and a bottle wine from the owner, recent magazines in the basket made us feel very much at home. We enjoyed many dinners on the balcony with great views watching for dolphins and the surfers. Lovely walks on the beach (and a very clean beach!!) It was the perfect size for our family of four. Only two very minor negatives: we are Verizon customers and there was no coverage inside the condo, so we had to make any phone calls out on the balcony or outside the condo. The mattresses were very firm and the pillows were very soft, but next time we will bring our own pillows and that would help. We did enjoy excellent meals at Espana and Cafe Karibe in Fernandina Beach. Overall, we would highly recommend this condo as a wonderful place to stay!!

Perks for VRBO
Guest: Amy

Date of Stay: 07/09/11
Review Submitted: 08/17/11
Renting through the owner was a positive experience for us and we've been vacationing on Amelia Island for the past 35 years in many various condos. The rental process through VRBO was much more personal. Ms. Jan has put so much of herself in the property making the condo "homey". We felt like she was very approachable and went beyond a rental company to make us welcome. Amelia holds a special place in our hearts. It's a part of our family history. This property at Ocean Place is super nice, the Barry Family are generous hosts and we would visit with them again.
Owner response:Thank you Alan. I'm so glad that your family had a good time. Please call us again soon. Jan Barry

First time to Amelia Island!
Guest: Gina j.
Date of Stay: 07/31/11
Review Submitted: 08/09/11
My family and I had a wonderful stay on Amelia at this beautiful condo. The condo was so clean and fully stocked! The owner left maps and brochures as well as other "special" touches. My children lived looking at the turtles in the natural dunes on the property. The downtown area is very cute with antique shops and restaurants. The grocery is very nearby. We definitely recommend this property and would love to return in the future.
Owner response:Gina, Thank you so much for the nice review. I am so happy that you had a nice time. Please call us again. Jan

We had a great time staying at your condo. The view, location and accomodations were all top notch and made our stay that much more enjoyable. Jan was great to work with and couldn't have made things easier. Thanks again for your hospitality and if we ever make it back to Amelia Island we will be calling you again.
Owner response:Pat and Shelly, Thank you so much for the nice comments and I'm so glad that your family had a good time. We hope that you will please call us again if you get back to Amelia Island. Jan Barry

Toes in the sand

Review Submitted: 06/17/11
Jan, your lovely rental was everything you said it would be. The balcony is huge and the outdoor furniture was so comfortable and clean. I start there because that is where we stayed the most. The master bedroom is so roomy, towels huge and fluffy, kitchen very well stocked and we loved the CD player. Didn't watch much TV but it was available with easy to understand instruction, not a box full of remotes. We enjoyed the quick trip to the beach by way of the pool. The huge elevators are enclosed, keeping the noise to a minimum. We did use a couple of your beach chairs, but the selection was endless. CAnt wait to go back. Just looking at the photos makes me lonesome. Thanks for the personal treats and how do we get more of Barry's Beach Boutique?
Owner response:Thank you Lydia so much for your kind comments. We do hope that you will come back again. Thanks also and God Bless you for all of the good work that you do for the kingdom. Please keep me posted on what you're doing and where you're going so that I can be praying for you. Blessings. Jan
