Beautiful property! We loved waking up to the ocean each day. The space fit us perfectly. The area was very nice, quiet and easy to get to everything. We would stay again!

Thanks, Tamara, for your 5-star review! Happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and felt the space was perfectly suited! Please do come again soon! We would love to welcome you back.
The villa was beautiful and had plenty of space. Loved the whole setup and the beach was perfect. While it would have been great to be a little higher, you still had a good view of the ocean and you could hear the waves crashing on the beach!
We had an incredible stay! The pool was very nice and pretty warm considering it is early March. The room was very well stocked and beautiful. We had a pretty good beach view from our balcony and even got to see a tortoise several days munching on grass on our way back to the room from the beach.

Great spot —loved being so close to the pool and beach, and seeing all the turtles. We enjoyed that our large family could be together. Bring a large wheeled bag for groceries and other items.

Roxanne, thanks so much for sharing this feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you loved our Shipwatch condo for your big group! Yes, the close proximity to the beach and pool is so convenient! Your suggestion of the wheeled bag/cart for groceries is helpful, although some guests prefer to carry due to the few stairs required. Thanks again for being our guest and we hope you return soon!
We loved our stay at Amelia island! It was our first visit to the island. The beach was beautiful and the pool was perfect too. The property was great for our 2 families and accommodated our toddlers very well.

For the last several years myself, sister n law and best friend have taken our kids on a mommy and me beach trip. Finding a space that allows us to stay together and have easy access to the beach and pool is so important and this location did it all!! The condo was clean and provided so much to make our stay unforgettable.

We were a group of 7 that have visited Amelia Island for over 20 years. This year three young men joined our group making it "The 10 of Us". Everyone had a great time and loved the condo plus the location.

Many thanks for your 5-star rating and the detailed feedback on your stay at our Shipwatch property! We are so glad to hear you thought that the condo was excellent, it's location made beach and pool access easy, and that our customer service was attentive! We sincerely hope you will be our guests again soon!
Coming from snowy Ohio, the sun and view rejuvenated us even with our short stay. Amelia Island draws us back again and again with its many attributes and our visit to Shipwatch was pleasant and relaxing. The condo itself was very nice with MORE than enough space for everyone (party of 9). We plan to book the condo for our next Girl's Trip as well.

Wonderful! We are thrilled to hear that your stay at Shipwatch was rejuvenating! Amelia Island is such a special place, as you clearly know! Let us know when you are ready to plan that Girls Trip!
After finally figuring out which building to get in to, we entered the condo and discovered the beautiful view. We’ve been to Amelia Island several times but really enjoyed this particular location because of the pool, easy beach access and outdoor grills. The condo itself offered the space we needed for our family.

Terrific! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed our spacious oceanfront condo! We agree that the views are beautiful and the Shipwatch complex has great amenities and nice proximity to the sand! We definitely recommend guests refer to their check-in instructions sent via email and in their digital guidebooks when checking in, as the resort grounds are expansive and this complex alone has multiple buildings. We would love to welcome you back and hope that you will keep us in mind for future trips!
Fantastic property fr large family get togethers! Everyone loved the space, the pool n proximity to the beach. Super well stocked unit. Only complaint was the sandy floors someone else commented on too. Otherwise FABULOUS!

Sand is everywhere at the beach, but it should not be in your villa, so we appreciate that comment and will pass it along to our housekeeping team. You were wonderful guests and we woud love to host you again!
