Sounds like a successful family getaway! 👨👩👧👦 Glad the space worked perfectly for your crew. Thanks for choosing us—come back anytime for more Amelia Island memories! 🌴🏡
The condo was perfect clean and comfortable. It was everything we had asked for. The check in and out was easy. The lady that helped us was a Blessing.
The place is nice but the smell is overwhelming. The plug ins were so strong! When we unplugged them all we could smell was dog smell in the couch cushions.

Great place! Three bedrooms and two baths. Just a short stroll to the beach, and Sliders restaurant. We will definitely stay here again.
This was probably the best stay we have had at Fernandina! Spacious and cozy, comfortable and quiet!

Wow—what an amazing compliment! We're so glad to hear this was your best stay yet in Fernandina. Thank you for choosing us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a great time staying at the condo for our vacation. We had a very short walk to the beach and when the younger kiddos were done with the ocean they asked to come play in the pool. The only reason we gave the overall rating a four was we didnt have quite enough TP, dishwasher soap and laundry detergent for 8 nights. We would stay again though!

Thank you for the kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the condo, especially the easy beach access and pool time with the kids.
We truly appreciate your feedback—just a quick note that we provide a starter supply of essentials like toilet paper, detergent, and soap to get guests through the first couple of days, until there's time to shop for longer stays.
We'd love to host you again in the future!
The condo was located close to the beach, about 5 min walk. There was a wagon, beach chairs and plenty of beach toys for our kids to play with. The wagon was a big bonus to help haul everything to the beach. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The master king bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and private, which was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

Amanda, thanks for the kind words. This Condo is amazing, and YES! that wagon is great, and is a life saver for the beach. We were happy to have you, and hope to see you again!!
Wonderful, dog-friendly condo in fantastic location!!
The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. The condo fit our needs perfectly and had a great layout. Lots of good amenities (pool, tennis, pickleball, dog-friendly). Clean and well-equipped. Easy walk to the beach and Sliders. Can highly recommend this for your Amelia Island stay.

We love hearing this—thank you! 😊 So glad the condo was a perfect fit and that you enjoyed the amenities and walkability 🏖️🐾🎾. We’re always happy to help and would love to host you again on your next Amelia Island getaway! 🌴
Our family of 5 plus pup had a great time during our 6 day stay. The condo was as described, well decorated and included small touches that gave it a home-like feel. The neighborhood pool and courts (we played pickleball) were great. The walk to the beach wasn't bad at all. We appreciated the extra chairs and beach towels. There is plenty to do in the area- restaurants, shopping, putt putt, ice cream and we even took advantage of the YMCA which accepted our VA membership status. I am not sure the listing says this but there is a washer and dryer, super helpful!

We love hearing that your whole crew—including the pup!—had an awesome stay 🐾🎾 Sounds like you really made the most of everything the area has to offer (pickleball, ice cream, YMCA—yes please!). Thanks for the thoughtful feedback—and great catch on the washer and dryer mention. We’ll be sure to update that! Come see us again anytime!
This condo is 2 blocks from the beach making it nicely situated. The condos were likely built in the 1970’s and felt dated. Unbeknownst to us there were several heavily scented plug-ins. The awful scent lingered on all of the soft surfaces - especially bed linens. We unplugged them and a slight mildew odor ensued. The lightening was terrible. Easy fix - get soft/warm bulbs. Had all of the kitchen essentials. Nice towels and comfortable beds (pillows could use an upgrade). Cheap living-room furniture. Overall, the place was okay and with some easy fixes could be good.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the convenient location, well-stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds. However, we’re surprised by some of your comments, as this home was recently remodeled with fresh updates throughout.
Scent sensitivity varies by guest, so we provide light, pleasant fragrances, but we understand that personal preferences differ. As for the lighting, the home is equipped with standard bulbs, but we’ll certainly double-check. Our living room furniture was chosen for durability and comfort, and while design preferences are subjective, we appreciate your input.
We strive to provide a clean, comfortable stay and will continue making thoughtful improvements. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future!
