Parking was safe but tight. Beach views were unobstructed. We were on 2nd floor and could not see the shoreline over the high dunes, but overall the view was great.
The place is decorated nicely but it is quite a distance from beach. The master bath had someone’s contact lens left from previous guest. And as Seniors, my husband fell in the tub shower and nearly hurt himself. No mats provided in either tub showers. If you enjoy a firm bed , you’re in luck. Kitchen is great. Located in great walking area! Overall, very nice for the money. The deer came right up to our patio.

Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the decor, kitchen, and of course, the deer visitors.
We're sorry for the overlooked contact lens and are so relieved your husband wasn't injured.
For future guests' reference, the beach sits about 700 feet away, which many guests find to be a comfortable distance, though we understand it varies depending on individual needs and mobility.
Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to have the chance to host you again.

Great Location
The location is great. You can walk to the beach, restaurants, the nature park, shopping and more. The unit is fantastic with open floor plan, very clean, tastefully decorated, well-appointed with all you need and most importantly for us quiet. One nice perk as well is the parking garage. Highly recommend the stay at his villa.
Clean, spacious, well equipped, easy access to beach, just as advertised. Enjoyed our stay! Agree with other reviewers that beds very firm.

Wonderful stay at Ocean View Villas
Unit was beautiful, nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. We went with two couples, plenty of room, would be a nice place for families. Short walk to the beach and park area, short drive into town. Nice to have two dedicated parking spaces, would definitely stay there again!
The check on process was smooth, as was communication with the manager. Every thing was clearly outlined in materials we received prior to our stay.

Beautiful location, extremely clean and convenient.
You have everything you need and including plenty of room for family and relaxation. The hosts made everything comfortable and the property is beautifully decorated and complete. We were there for a death in the family and returning back to the condo in the evening was comfortable and restful. Thank you!
We had a wonderful experience and the perfect get away at Amelia Island! The condo was very spacious, extremely clean and wonderfully updated! The location right across from the beach couldn’t have been any better! We loved our time here!

We stayed at the property for 4 nights. The check in/check out process was super easy. Communication with the property management staff was excellent. We loved the location - close to the beach, but not too close! Everything we needed to make our stay great was available.

I honestly can't find anything that could have been improved upon here. I stayed with my husband and three older sons. The unit was spacious, clean and so welcoming. It's so close to the beach and two casual restaurants. We would absolutely rent here again. It was also a great value.

Most everything was great about this place. Location, cleanliness, etc. My only downside was the king mattress was a little firm for me; although my fiancé’ liked it:). You can’t go wrong renting this place!

This was a fabulous VRBO! Location was great. Unit was fantastic.
We could not have chosen a better place. Location was fantastic. Unit was huge. Very clean. The beach, great places to eat close by, about a minute drive to down town and we saw deer right out the back door as we were located right next to the Fort Clinch State Park. 100% positive we would stay here again.

Great space for a gathering of women. The unit was very clean, modern and had everything we needed. The location was perfect - walkable to the main beach and restaurants there and an easy drive to the town of Fernandina for shopping, dining and exploring the riverfront and the historic area. Communication with the owners about access, etc. went smoothly. Everyone wants to go back and stay there again.
