Pet Friendly | Pool View | Ground Level Sailmaker Villa
Please Note: New owners took over this property in Fall of 2023, and a full remodel was completed in 2025. All prior reviews reflect the unit before this top-to-bottom renovation. The condo has since been completely transformed with high-end finishes, new furnishings, and custom design elements to offer guests a fresh, modern, and coastal-inspired retreat just steps from the beach.
This beautiful totally renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach retreat blends coastal charm with modern comfort. The open-concept living area is filled with natural light and styled in soft neutrals, warm wood tones, and breezy beach accents.
The living room features a new leather sofa, plush swivel chairs, ottoman, and a smart TV, flowing seamlessly into a fully equipped luxury kitchen. Custom wood cabinetry, a blue tiled backsplash, and a shiplapped island with quartz countertops set the tone for a warm, elevated space. The adjacent dining area includes a high-top table with seating for four, complemented by three barstools at the island for additional seating. All living room, dining room, and bar area furniture are brand new!
Stepping through the sliding glass doors, guests will find a large, roomy private covered patio overlooking the secluded oak-covered community pool. Outfitted with four new Adirondack chairs and a large low table, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, al fresco appetizers, casual dining, or to relax after a fun day at the beach!
All bedrooms have been upgraded with new tile flooring, adding a touch of elegance and practicality to each room. The master bedroom is furnished with a new king bed, new striped bedding, two new chairs, and a new dresser, offering a relaxing and functional retreat. A flat-screen smart TV and sliding glass doors that open directly onto the covered patio enhance the space and bring the outdoors in. The en suite bathroom features a coastal open-air concept walk-in shower with dual shower heads and a custom-made quartz double vanity, along with a private water closet.
Just off the main living space, the second bedroom includes an upholstered queen bed and a built-in desk area—perfect for working while on vacation. The third bedroom offers two twin beds and direct access to the second full bath, which also opens to the hallway. This enlarged bathroom features a custom-made quartz vanity and a custom tile surround on the tub/shower, combining style and functionality for added comfort.
A quick 2.5-minute walk will take you directly to the ocean's edge and sandy beaches of the gorgeous coastline. The Summer Beach Community is ocean front so no need to cross any streets to get the private beach access. The Sailmaker boardwalk is completely stair free allowing easier access for bikes, baby strollers, wheeled coolers, beach wagons, etc. The Sailmaker pool that this villa overlooks is just a short distance from the villa and the perfect place to catch some rays or relax in the shade of the magnificent oaks while the kids splash around in the pool. The Summer Beach Village community is also just steps away from the Ritz Carlton where guests have access to all of the Ritz's restaurants, shops and spa.

Lovely stay at this beautiful, clean and convenient condo. We had plenty of space for our family of four and everyone was quite comfortable. Rental company checked in with us and was very responsive to questions - highly recommend!

Thank you for choosing our rental for your getaway!
Thank you for the review Linda! We are so happy to hear that this property worked out well for your property! This property makes you feel at home, you moment you get there. We do list this property with the pool as not being able to be heated, however we still understand how that can be frustrating. March is one of those months here on the island where it can be very warm, or it can bring cooler weather as well. We thank you for your feedback, and look forward to having the opportunity to host you in the near future.
Spacious, very nice, clean, and good access to the beach. Came up for a family getaway after Christmas and to celebrate a birthday. WE loved the location and the area. Really enjoyed the unit. Very comfortable.

Thank you for the review Susan! We are happy to hear that this property worked out well for your vacation. Cleanliness and communication are two areas that we prioritize, so it is great to know that you felt both throughout your experience with us. We appreciate you letting us know about the condo feeling dark, this condo is surrounded by beautiful oak trees which can create some additional shade. Thank you for renting with us, we look forward to having the opportunity to host you again in the near future!
Excellent Condo, a few steps from the pool right out the back door. A two minute walk to the beach. Well appointed kitchen, bedrooms were nice. Plenty of room for everyone in our party of six people.

Great unit for our family of five. The ground level unit made storing all of our beach gear simple, and the hose on the outside porch made cleaning off all the sand a breeze. We really loved the location next to the pool and the ease of access to the beach. Great unit. I highly recommend it.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy to know that this property worked out so well for your beach vacation. We agree, this ground floor unit allows for an easy commute to and from the beach and pool. We truly appreciate you taking the time to send over your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to the island soon.
We were able to successfully get five family members tested COVID-negative and travel from South Florida and South Carolina to meet at Amelia Island to spend Christmas together. We hadn't seen each other in 18 months, including our 78 y/o parents. We had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful, the condo is very nicely appointed. The kitchen is so well-equipped, we were able to cook all our meals for four days including Christmas Dinner!

The condo is about 1/2 mile from the Ritz.
Quiet neighborhood.
Just a walk across the condo complex to the beach.
Condo is in decent shape, furniture isn't really beat up.
TV is very confusing to work.
No restaurants are close to the location.
Overall good

Thank you Mike for your 4 star rating. We appreciate that. We are sorry the TV was confusing, we would have been happy to assist you with that during your stay. There aren’t any restaurants within walking distance but there are a variety of restaurants in the downtown area close to where the property is located and a good many restaurants in a 3-5 minute drive. Thank you for your feedback. We hope to see you again.
Great location and property in general. If you arrive at night, it’s somewhat difficult to see signage. They could use more lighting around property. Unit was nice except master bath. Tub did not drain well and really needs to be updated. Otherwise everything was as described on line.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the unit. We do apologize in regards to the minimal lighting. This is due to the Sea Turtles and it's mandated by the City. So sorry to hear that the tub wasn't draining properly. We will get that taken care of. If we had known during your stay we would've certainly sent someone out to repair it! We will take a look at some of the furnishings as well and pass the information along to the owner. Thanks again so staying with us and we hope that you will return again soon!
This ground level condo was perfect for our family. It was nice to be able to see the pool since our older kids liked to swim while our younger one took her nap. I preferred that over an ocean view condo considering the gaps in age of our children. We did purchase our own beach toys and boogie boards since there were none. We also rented daily chairs and umbrella even though there was a chest of chairs on the patio.
The kitchen was well equipped for our needs but we did eat out for dinners. There were plenty of bath towels but do bring your own beach towels. Overall it was a clean and well decorated. We enjoyed our stay!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that this property worked out so well for your vacation with your family. This property is ideal for a family that wants to use the pool and have access to the beach. The balcony overlooking the private pool allows for quick access, and as you mentioned allows for you to keep eyes on the children at the pool. This property is very accommodating, and makes you feel at home instantly. We truly appreciate you taking the time to send over your feedback, and we hope we have the opportunity to rent to you again in the near future!
Apparently the pictures of the unit are greatly enhanced. Units are OLD, hike to beach, a body of water right outside of unit that was nasty and I am sure a health hazard. We had to search for unit, it was downstairs and around corner. Will never use this VRBO again, the added fees are a joke, very expensive one. We could have stayed at the Ritz for this.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Sept, 2023
Thank you for the feedback. We are very sorry you felt like the photos did not reflect your experience at this property. The natural dunes that are on our island, can sometimes create a slightly longer walk to the beach. We apologize if this was not communicated correctly on the property listing. The water outside of the unit is a retention pond, that is required by water management to ensure runoff from storms does not threaten our properties. We also hate to hear that this was a tough unit to find, we will get with the owner of the unit and review property descriptions and pictures to ensure the directions and descriptions are as clear as possible. We understand that the fees can be frustrating, however these fees do cover the hard work our team puts into maintaining, and keeping the property clean. We did call the day after you checked in and left a voicemail to see how your stay was going, and we are disappointed that we did not hear back. We do this so we have the opportunity to make sure you were comfortable, and not experiencing any issues. . We work hard to be very proactive, and it always a little disheartening when guests wait until after their stay to let us know about any issues. We manage all different types of properties that fit different guest preferences, and we do have a lot guests that love this property so we were surprised to see your dissatisfaction. We apologize immensely that this did not meet your preferences. We pride ourselves on always being available for our guests, and we work hard to make any negative situation with a guest right. We would love for you to give Amelia Island another shot, and if you do we would love one of our properties to be apart in making that happen. Thank you again for your feedback.

Needs an update
Location to beach and pool were excellent. The condo itself was not. Sofa and chairs in living area had an odor, looked dirty and were just worn out. They must have sprayed them with disinfectant, because they felt damp. There was mildew in one bathroom window, cob webs and we killed two spiders. The master had no chest of drawers and had huge, strange decorative pillows that just took up too much space Also, there was construction in the above unit (inside and out) which we were not given any heads up or discount For the price and the area, we were disappointed in the condo. Would not recommend.

We are saddened to see this review Brenda, as we took measures during your stay to attempt to make amends, and we thought those amends were well received. We always guarantee our cleaning. We gurantee our cleaning by calling each guest the day after they check in, to make sure everything is up to guests standards. If there are any cleanliness issues reported back from the guest, we will always send our cleaning team back out to the unit to take care of immediately. We love to hear that the location of the unit met your needs, we agree that this location could not be more perfect. This owner has replaced the couch and chairs since your stay with us. We do apologize for the issue with construction. The association did not notify us that anything was going on, and we certainly hate if it inconvenienced your stay as that is frustrating and we certainly understand that. We appreciate the feedback and we hope you give Amelia Island another shot in the near future.
The positives of this unit are the location--not too far from downtown Fernandina but far enough for a somewhat "quieter" side of town. Access to the beach via the boardwalk was very easy. Beach was not crowded at all. I was worried about possible noise being poolside, but that was not an issue at all. Unit was clean and we had pretty much everything we needed. I did feel like the unit needed some attention/updating. Overall, I felt like it was somewhat "dated" in decor. Bedside lamp was unplugged and when I plugged it in, I found that it was intermittent in working. You had to slowly adjust/touch the on/off switch to get it in an "on" status--I would think any kind of electrical "short" would need to be addressed. Also, the master bedroom sliding door did not lock. There was a PVC pipe in the tray to keep it from opening but I would think the lock should be repaired. Lock on dining room sliding doors did work. While some may find it convenient, I felt like there were too many consumables left in the pantry from previous renters as we had trouble finding places for the items we brought. We did appreciate having a washer/dryer for use. I would probably look for a more updated and maintained property next time.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us some feedback! We are so sorry for the issues you experienced. We would have been more than happy to take a look at them while you were here to make you more comfortable. It is hard for us to know how many consumables to leave as some guests love having them while others do not. We do thank you for your review, and hope you will return to visit Amelia Island soon!
On the surface, it was a great condo and we had a very enjoyable stay. Everything was as advertised and the property manager was very communicative. The unit was clean and well stocked. Just a few things to be aware of that we encountered and made the PM aware. Many of the windows and the sliding door in the master bedroom did not have functioning locks - there were pieces of wood and PVC pipe wedged into the tracks to prevent entry, but we found this odd. The PM indicated they would discuss this with the Owner. Also, the washer/dryer malfunctioned when we tried using it on the last night we were there. The PM offered to have a tech come take a look, but we were leaving at 9am the next morning. Hopefully that is fixed now. Finally, likely because this unit was ground floor, it felt and smelled like we were in the basement. The furniture always felt damp and the entire unit had a musty smell. We did not bring this to the attention of the PM because any sort of attempt at remediation would likely have been tremendously intrusive to our stay. Listen, we VRBO a lot, and we are very willing to work with less-than-ideal situations like we did here, but compared to other properties at a similar price point, we were left underwhelmed.

We thank you again for the review, and we hope you give Amelia Island another shot in the near future!
The condo was just as described in the listing. We travel quit often and think that the mattress in the main bedroom may well be one of the most comfortable we have slept in. The management company was also a pleasure to work with.

We stayed at the property with my 82 year old grandmother and 18 month old son. Everything was nice and clean and well kept, but it was a long walk to the beach for my grandma and a long way to carry my son and all his belongings. We were also close to the pool, which had VERY bright lights on until late at night and they shined directly into the master bedroom. So, I had to put him in the bathroom to sleep. These things would have been nice to know before booking with an infant and a senior citizen

Thanks for your feedback, Meredith! We are happy to hear that you all enjoyed the property during your stay.

We do hope that you all made some wonderful memories and if you need assistance with a future rental, we would love to help!
We stayed at this property for 4 nights and enjoyed every minute. It was very spacious for 4 adults, 2 children, and 1 infant, and the location to the pool and beach were also great. The pool was cold unfortunately since it's the end of spring, but we enjoyed our time immensely. We also brought our dog, which was great being able to have her there as well! Highly recommend for your next family vacation.

We had a terrific stay at this property in Amelia Island. The pictures and descriptions on VRBO were entirely accurate - no surprises. The location was fantastic - the beach is just a two minute walk thru the lovely, manicured lawns of the property. The pool was clean and conveniently located. We really enjoyed being able to bring our small dog with us. Being on the ground floor was a real bonus for dog walking. We were comfortable and very, very happy with this property. Would definitely return in the future.
