My family and I just experienced the best vacation in a very long time at this quaint condo in Summer Beach. The decor of the condo was soothing, beachy and very clean. It had natural lighting, views of the beautiful trees in every window. The condo had everything that you would need from towels to saran wrap. It had it all! The walk to the beach is lovely passing the sand dunes inhabited by the turtle family. My son was thrilled to watch the "daddy" turtle walking down the walkway. The beach is just beautiful. We were lucky to see the dolphins pass several times. The location is perfect to get to any part of the island. Thank you for sharing your lovely house with us. We hope we can make another visit some day.

We stayed at this vacation condo labor day weekend. We were met with a sour smell at the front of the building probably due to very poor drainage.The condo was bug ridden and was unclean from the moment we entered. Roach bait was found throughout the condo downstairs. Dead roaches were in plain site, cat hair was piled up under the sofa, our kids were eaten up by fleas, and dirt was present in the living area. We respectfully contacted the owner and described what we were experiencing. The cleaining person came and left, not cleaning all the areas we had described. Three days later when we vacated, the owner had the audacity to charge us for scratching a plexi glass protective table top that we didn't even use during our trip. We felt this was unfair and demanded that our money be returned. The owner has yet to do the right thing and refund the deposit they wrongfully took. To date, they haven't returned our calls or emails. Love Amelia Island. But this condo is simply unsatisfactory on many levels.

Owner response:*Future Renters ,We have rented this property since 2005,this year our place was rented for 26 seperate transactions, we have never had one complaint about cleanliness ,in fact a lot of our 50 plus reviews have noted the cleanliness of the unit . This person who was a guest of the renter threatened a bad review along with other threats after we discovered damage to our table top and we charged the renter for the damage ,which was not the deposit but less than a third,the renter was contacted and responded to,this guest was never responded to because of earlier threats . The party did stay the full time, 5 days. We do not allow pets and have had no indication of roaches ,fleas ,sour smell ,or filth. We contacted the parties staying the weeks after and recieved praise ,we self inspected it and found the norm that our cleaning staff gives us. .This is our second home ,we have been using the same cleaning management from day one ,they are never told when we are visiting and their service is second to none. We pride our selves for providing a nice clean enviroment.Thank You The Shelors

We had a lovely week at Amelia Island. Your condominium is as comfortable as being at home. The only thing we cooked was coffee ,but your kitchen is so well eguipped that with a bigger crowd,cooking would be a pleasure. We ate at so many of the restaurants you recommemed . I think Billy Jeans , Sliders and Bretts Marina were our favorites.Oh and we loved T-Rays! Margie Raleigh NC
