Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Lacey! I'm so glad you enjoyed the space and value. Unfortunately The Ritz Carlton is the only place I am aware of that has a heated pool at this time.

Amazing!
What a beautiful condo and view! Our family couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Management company was very responsive and helpful. Book now, you won't regret.
Great location right on the beach. Fell asleep nightly to the sounds of the surf. Condo was clean and well stocked, property manager is a good communicator

Fantastic Stay
This end unit, which provides more windows along the exterior wall, was exceptionally bright and clean. Awesome views of the ocean, moonrise & sunrise from this third floor unit. Although we didn't use the kitchen facilities to prepare meals, the kitchen was well stocked with all you would need. We would love to stay here again on our next trip to Amelia Island!
We absolutely loved staying here. It is absolutely gorgeous and clean. Beds were comfortable. I love to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Several grocery stores nearby but Harris Teeter is awesome! Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Condo
This was a beautiful, clean and well maintained condo! We would definitely stay here again. We loved the tall chairs on the balcony. The only “negative” I can think of is, it would have been nice to have more than one towel, one hand towel and one washcloth per person. Other than that, our stay was perfect.
Thank you Kenneth for taking time to leave a review and positive feedback. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the home and look forward to hosting you next time.
