Thanks for your feedback! We're so glad you found the unit comfortable and well-appointed, and that you enjoyed the beds during your stay. We also appreciate you letting us know about the washing machine. That's definitely something we'll have our team take care of. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!
Our stay at Amelia Island has been fantastic. Beautiful setting, and our three-bedroom, three-bath condo was absolutely perfect—spacious, comfortable, and ideal in every way. Already planning our return.
It was very clean, close to lots of restaurants and the beach was amazing. They do need to update the carpet or get it professionally cleaned and provide salt and pepper would be nice. The beds were ok. If you like firmer beds, this is not your place. Overall, the condo was very nicely appointed.

It was good except came in to a messed up fan in one of the rooms
This was our first family vacation in years, and the property was even more beautiful than we expected. The owners thought of little touches to make our stay more enjoyable, like having extra kitchen and bathroom supplies available. We would definitely stay here again!

A Wonderful Spring Break
We had a wonderful stay! The place was perfect for us, our teenage son, and our teenage daughter plus her best friend. All the beds were comfortable, the place was extremely clean, and decorated very cute. We enjoyed mornings on the patio with our coffee that overlooks the pool. Easy walk to the beach. We had never been to Amelia Island before and it was lovely! The downtown is so quaint and we went there every evening for dinner. Some favorites were: Arte, Salty Pelican, Mezcal, and the Boathouse. Wanted to go to The Patio but very long wait! We can't wait to return! Also, great shopping downtown, too!
My group had nothing but great things to say about this property. We would stay here again for sure!!

Great stay during a local conference, beautiful home and very comfortable for the whole family. There were even a few toys that my kids enjoyed playing with.
Loved the short walk walk to the incredible beach. Condo was awesome, great view of the pool. Short drive to downtown for groceries, restaurants, coffee shops. Have never been here before - will return!!

Great experience!
I would 100% rent this unit again. It was very clean and comfortable. Very happy with our decision to book this, and will be back!
Unit was clean, patio could use some TLC. The overhead light in the kitchen was extremely dim, the toaster handle does not stay down. The downstairs bathroom toilet doesn't fill unless you push the float down. The upstairs fan is missing a paddle (I informed management upon arrival).
Loved staying at this condo near the beach. We were there for a wedding and it was the perfect place for our friends. Great access to the pool, beach, Ritz Carlton, etc. Well stocked kitchen and has beach chairs, a wagon, etc. The bathrooms need updating upstairs, but otherwise a great rental.

The unit was very clean. Appliances, furniture, etc in good working condition. Appreciate plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets, dish soap etc.
I did want to mention we found a large spider climbing on the living room chair. Not an expert but when we looked it up online it may have been a brown recluse spider. May need a special exterminator. Saw no other bugs.
Unit does need a tea pitcher.
Thank you. We enjoyed our stay.
The condo is located in a great location. Very clean. Easy walk to the beach and short ride to restaurants and bars. Gate secured area. Beach feels private.

This rental has it all. Perfect location. Perfect amenities. We absolutely fell in love. This will be our new family vacation get-away. The rental was ready and waiting for us to arrive. Very clean. Very well kept. We didn’t bring any beach chairs or a cart to haul our stuff to the beach and was very well surprised that everything was provided for us to use. We are looking forward to coming back soon.

Very Good
Location and grounds were beautiful. Gorgeous beach. Beach chairs and towels were provided. Condo had lots of space. Kitchen, living room and bedrooms were great. The bathrooms need help, especially the one downstairs. Had ring around the toilet in several places and the fixtures in the bathtub were all rusty. Not sure where the bugs came from, but ended up with 14 mosquito bites overnight. Also small knats in bathtub every morning.
Comfortable and nicely decorated.
(Carpeting should be replaced next.)
Conveniently located.
Would stay here again.
A dish drainer would have been helpful…
Downstairs toilet started acting up on last day. Bowl taking long time to refill with water.
Sister-in-law lost silver earring right before leaving. Please let us know if it is found.

Attractive. Great access to beautiful beach. Nice location by pool but there was construction on pool that week and we could not sit there. Host did not know that it would be happening. TV malfunctioned twice, but Stacie was quick in responding and figuring out how to fix. Beds All in all a good drentalvery comfortable.
Unit could use some updating of kitchen utensils, pots and pans. For example, there was no flat baking pan and the can opener was rusted and extremely hard to use.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Susan. We are so glad you enjoyed your Winter stay despite not being able to lounge by the pool. We agree, our beaches are beautiful and we're so pleased you were able to enjoy. Glad we got that TV figured out for you quickly. We have passed your suggestions for updating some kitchen supplies to the owner, thank you. We look forward to hosting you the next time you're on Amelia Island.
