Vacation Rentals by Owner

Awesome Location!

Date of Stay: 02/18/12 Review Submitted: 05/16/12

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Amelia Island. The condo was perfectly located just a short 3 minute walk to the beach. We have young children and the grass lawn right outside the back door to the condo was ideal for our restless children to play. The inside of the condo was furnished much nicer than most rental properties and made us feel at home. I would highly recommend this property for an relaxing beach visit. Thank you Suzette for helping us enjoy our Amelia Island visit!

A Great Month

Date of Stay: 01/02/12 Review Submitted: 04/28/12

My wife and I both retired our full time jobs in North Carolina on December 31, 2011, and we arrived at the condo the afternoon of January 2, ready to relax, recreate, and begin shifting gears. The condo suited us perfectly. The listing description and photos were accurate, the condo was in great shape, the agent was unfailingly helpful, and our month got off to a great start. And it continued wonderful. The weather was super, the condo gave us a wonderful view of the beach and ocean, we had friends on the Island, and we found places to visit and explore and many great places to eat, all within a few miles. We would recommend the condo to family and friends without hesitation.

We enjoyed the condo very much, it was just like the pirctures. Suzette was a dream to work with. We had left some items in the condo, and she called the day we left and said she would send them to us. We have been coming to Amelia for the past seven years and this was the nicest place we have stayed si far. We will definitley stay agian, if avaliable. Thanks, Suzette.

Wonderful trip!

This was the first visit to Amelia Island and we had a blast. The condo was beautiful and clean as was the beach. The whole area was lovely. The arrangement of the condo was perfect--mudroom type entry, down half stair to kitchen/living room, down half stair to bedrooms. In fact the condo was the best one I have ever stayed in for a beach vacation. It was very easy to get to the beach and it was great to be able to see the beach out your window at all times. The only reasons I gave it a 4 instead of 5 was that the pool at the complex was too cold and dirty to use this time of year so we had to drive to the Plantation pool daily. The kitchen and appliances were top notch; however, there were no dishclothes and only one pan for the stove which was marginal at best. We had to cook every day because of my daughters dietary restrictions--if you were planning only simple meals there it wouldn't have been a big deal at all. Would recommend to anyone!!!!

Owner response:I really appreciate your review. I have purchased a few items for the kitchen for those guests who wish to cook and new dishcloths also. Our pool is typically too cool in March to use since it isn't heated. The resort pool is heated and guests are encouraged to use it until our pool warms up. We did have a problem with excessive leaf droppings and pollen from the tree canopy. I notified our property management company of this and they worked with the pool company who is under contract to clean the pool SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK. We are currently having all the tree limbs trimmed so the pool is easier to keep clean. I was aware of this and working with our board and property management company to correct this problem.

Spring Break at Amelia Island

Guest: Amy D. (Charlotte, NC)
Date of Stay: 04/16/11 Review Submitted: 04/25/11

This was our first visit to Amelia Island and we had a fabulous vacation. The condo is beautiful, with a great view of the ocean. We enjoyed the comfy beds and great linens. There were even beach towels, chairs and an umbrella provided for our use. The location is perfect - very close to the Inn and the heated pool but also close to the private pool and tennis court for the complex. Suzette was great to work with. She answered all of our questions and sent materials in advance to help us plan our trip. There are so many activities in the Plantation. We enjoyed fishing, golf, and the Segway and kayak tours. We would highly recommend this condo and Amelia Island.

Great condo and location in AIP

Guest: Brooke (Knoxville, TN)
Date of Stay: 10/09/10 Review Submitted: 10/21/10

This condo is beautifully decorated and the best location in AIP. My husband was attending a conference and he was able to easily walk to the conference center from the condo. Suzette was great to work with, always quick to respond if we had a question.

Home Away from Home

Guest: GayleD (Nashville, TN)
Date of Stay: 09/03/10 Review Submitted: 09/12/10

Over the years we've stayed in various condos on the Plantation, and this was the best one we've rented. It had all the comforts of home, with the ocean in the backyard! The open floor plan and large bedrooms were perfect for our family. The gourmet kitchen was so nice, we didn't want to go out! Being close to the Inn was great, and the amenity card gave us access to the Beach Club pool and Grille. Thank you, Suzette! We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful Beach Condo

Guest: CSK (Greensboro, North Carolina)
Date of Stay: 08/07/10 Review Submitted: 04/03/11

We had a fantastic vacation in this beautifully furnished and comfortable condo. The ground floor patio is a great spot to enjoy the spectacular ocean views and is just steps away from the beach. We enjoyed the privacy of the pool and tennis courts nestled in the trees. We have rented from Suzette for many years and she is always a pleasure to work with.

Our week at Amelia Island and in this condo were wonderful! The condominium was lovely, the location perfect and the owner a delight to work with. It has a great view of the beach, just a few steps to the beach, and located next to the Inn and everything you could possibly need to do on the plantation. We highly recommend this unit! It will not disappoint!

Date of Stay: 05/29/10 Review Submitted: 06/08/10

What a beautiful condominium! The location was unbeatable with its close proximity to the Inn and Beach Club, yet it felt very private and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed it and our kids were in heaven. The condo was very nice, yet comfortable, and its split level floor plan allowed for nice privacy as well. The only inconvenience to speak of was the stairs to get to the condo, but that's just part of how all condos at Amelia Island Plantation are positioned to just blend in with the landscape. You are able to take full advantage of the views that way. Hope to get back in the near future! Thanks so much for the wonderful accommodations and for the excellent management.

Convenient Condo

Date of Stay: 05/22/10 Review Submitted: 06/08/10

The condo was lovely and clean and Suzette was wonderful to work with. We particularly appreciated the proximity to the Inn, only a short, pleasant walk away and the amenities card that allowed us use of the pools at the Inn, the shuttle, bike rental, AIP kayaking, etc. And the view from the living area was beautiful!

Terrific Accomodations!

Guest: ZTJ (Delavan, WI)
Date of Stay: 05/07/10 Review Submitted: 06/29/10

We loved our stay at your condo! Suzette was great to work with and the condo was fantastic. The view was amazing and the location couldn't have been better. The ground floor access to the back yard, beach and inn made our stay very easy (especially with three young boys!). The amenity card worked well for trips to the pools, bike rental and restaurant purchases. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you!

Absolutely Beautiful!

Guest: Shell Seeker 2 (Dallas, Texas)
Date of Stay: 03/13/10 Review Submitted: 03/23/10

This condo is absolutely beautiful! Everything from the furniture, bedding/linens, art work, Pottery Barn dishes, etc. is perfect! It is a very peaceful environment with an ocean view as well as sand dunes. Being on the ground floor made us feel like we had our own private yard. The patio is set up nicely with Adirondack chairs as well as a teak patio table/chairs...breakfast and cocktail hour were spent out there daily! A few steps out into the yard and you can also see some of the golf course. There is plenty to do at Plantation without ever having to leave, which we did only a few times the week we were there. The heated pool by the ocean was great although we preferred sitting on lounge chairs on the beach (which you could rent for a small amount). We had a fabulous dinner in the dining room (with an ocean view) at the Plantation Inn (a very short walk from the condo). We spent one evening at the little shopping village there where they had live music on the deck of the restaurant/wine shop...$1 beers and $4 wines :-) We loved going into the little town of Fernandina and looking through the fun shops as well as eating at Brett's Waterway Cafe with a great view of the marina. Over all, we had a wonderful time and look forward to returning to this little piece of tranquility in the future!
