We had a great time at Amelia Island. The condo was clean and decorated very nice. It was very relaxing to sit on the balcony overlooking the ocean. We enjoyed being close to numerous fishing spots and many walking paths. We will visit again!

The condo is great and exactly as advertised! It was in excellent condition and spotless! My wife and I were only able to stay for 3 nights but we will definitely be back for a week long stay in the future. Gordon responds almost immediately to any questions and is an excellent host.

Beach getaway.

There are beach accessories available like camping chairs, cooler, boogie boards, and an umbrella. Photos are very accurate and area was quiet. You can bike on the beach. Bring something to gather shells, there's so many!Entering and leaving the property is a little annoying because of the call box. Southern pool is under repair along with the outdoor shower but apparently you can use the Northern.

Great Views

Pictures are accurate. Great views and great location. We were close enough to other things on the island outside of the beach and pool. If you’re looking for a quiet laid back vacation, I would rate this at the top. The check-in process was flawless and the host was very responsive. Full kitchen with all the usual appliances available. 5 Star unit, location, amenities, service and vacation. Would definitely rent again.

This property was sparkling clean, cheerfully updated with fantastic views from each of its main rooms, and well stocked with living and beach necessities. Gordon was responsive and friendly. A perfect location for our 2-night stay and exploration of Amelia Island. Only recommendation- get the slider door to the balcony “sliding” more easily.

A Piece of Heaven

We stayed at the condo for a convention at The Ritz. It was perfect! The condo was very nicely appointed and comfortable. Due to the weather, we took advantage of the puzzles there and played some cards! The bed was comfortable and the condo had everything we needed. Loved the patio to warch the waves and the large window in the living room had a picturesque view! It was a mn excellent choice and we would stay again!

This place was clean, had a beautiful view & was located in a nice area. One thing that was much appreciated was the chain lock on the front door (we took our toddler with us) and she couldn’t run out the door with this safety feature. It was a small but appreciated thing. Whenever we book places, safety for children is a big thing and this place made me feel safe with kids. We would definitely visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Dinsmoor

Host profile image
We live right off the island and have always loved being here! In our free time we like to spend our days either on the beach / at the pool or on the boat....anywhere near the water. We take pride in our ownership of our villa and hope that you will enjoy your time with us.

Why they chose this property

Surf & Racquet is perfectly situated on the south end of Amelia Island- just down from the Ritz-Carlton and north of the Amelia Island Plantation- and it remains a "secret spot" among those in the know. Our busiest times of year are from March through mid August and the amount of people here during that time is a fraction as compared to places like Daytona, Jacksonville Beaches and especially Hilton Head (we've spent a lot of time in these areas). To the south of the island, you will find the undeveloped Talbot Island (award-winning state parks) and to the north, you will find Historic Fernandina, birthplace of the modern shrimping industry and past playground of families such as the Vanderbilts, du Ponts, and even Edward Teach (Captain Blackbeard).

What makes this property unique

Our villa is totally renovated and updated- to our tastes- as we lived in the condo after downsizing from a residence. We hope you enjoy your time with us!
