We loved the property and had a wonderful time. Wish we knew the icemaker and filtered water didn’t work. The only other negative was that the showers could be improved; no good water pressure. Other than that, everything was great.

Wonderful weekend

Had a great time. Rental was superb for a Galentine’s weekend. All that was needed for dining in, and perfect location for dining out. Property and building amenities are in great condition. Beach view and beach were amazing. Upstairs neighbors were a bit led footed, but didn’t hinder our stay! Wonderful place!

Beautiful View

We were very pleased with this condo. Easy loading and unloading with carts available and elevator. Great beach access. The bathrooms are nicely updated. Our favorite place was outside on the porch. It offered a great view of the beach and coastline.

Sand Dollar

We had the best view of the ocean! Watched dolphins from our balcony almost every morning of our stay! Our room had everything we needed including items for the beach which was a pleasant surprise! The pool was very nice and there were a few pool items to make it more enjoyable. The beach in front was very clean and not a lot of people. Great place to stay!

Sneaky good

I’ve stayed at this property a few times in the past but never this unit. It’s at the back right of the complex and great view of the ocean. Quiet yet everything easy to access. Had a great time.

Property was smaller than it appeared in photos. Could use some new sheets and towels. Somewhat thread bare.

family week

The condo is small but worked out for family of 4. Great views. Make sure you have the funds in your account several day ahead of the last payment date if you are using a debit card (they didn't accept my type of credit card) as they charged the payment earlier then what the information said. Luckily I happened to have the funds in this account even though I would not normally.

Great views

The condo was on the beach and we walked daily. The views were spectacular from our deck. Although this is a second story unit, there are grocery carts to transport items to this end unit via an elevator. The bed was comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We had a few repair issues which were addressed but not fixed but we were fine with it. It was nice having good internet and cable TV. The pool was nice but we spent most of our time on the beach. We saw two turtles and many jelly fish on the beach. We would stay there again.

A week to relax

My younger son and I spent nearly a week in the unit. We had stayed at the property in the past, although in a different unit and when my older son was with us. We again enjoyed the location, the easy access to beach, the clean pool, and the overall feel of San Dollar Villas. We have visited AI/Fernandina Beach ten times in the last decade---it has become our pleasant break from New England winters and springs---and know the area well. The unit for this stay was just right for us two, and we would recommend it to others as long as they recognize it's not a large unit and its furnishings are really rather dated. The kitchen is especially small, practically a galley kitchen, and is not set up well for families who like to cook together, which is something we enjoy and missed this stay. Further, we noticed items in the kitchen were not especially clean; we always wash likely dishes and utensils when we arrive a place just to be safe, but this time we simply had to do so. Still, our stay was just was just what we needed (except for cooking!) and we were sad to have to leave! We'll return to AI for sure and would consider this same unit again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent stay with us at Sand Dollar Villas. We're thrilled to hear you and your younger son enjoyed the location, beach access, clean pool, and overall atmosphere of our property. It means a lot to us that you've chosen to return to Amelia Island for your breaks from New England winters and springs. We appreciate your recommendation of the unit to others, while also acknowledging its smaller size and dated furnishings. Your feedback about the kitchen size and setup is noted, and we understand the importance of having a well-equipped kitchen for families who enjoy cooking together. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by items not being as clean as expected - cleanliness is a top priority for us, and we will address this with our team to ensure it's not an issue in the future. Despite these points, we're glad to hear that your stay was just what you needed, aside from the cooking aspect. We're delighted to know you would consider staying in the same unit again for a future visit to Amelia Island. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable stay. If there's anything specific you'd like us to address for your next visit, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you again for choosing Sand Dollar Vacation Rentals.

Thank you for your feedback. While we are disappointed by your 2-star rating, we sincerely value every opportunity to improve. It is unfortunate that your concerns were brought to our attention only after your stay, rather than during, when we could have addressed them immediately to enhance your experience. Despite this, we took your feedback seriously and addressed your concerns believing we had resolved the matter to your satisfaction. Your rating suggests otherwise, which is disheartening, as our goal is always to be fair and responsive to our guests' concerns. We strive to provide an exceptional experience and can only resolve issues we are made aware of. In this instance, we acted on the information you shared, but regret that our efforts did not meet your expectations. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope for the chance to better serve you in the future.
