Quiet Spring Break in AI

Property was perfect for our spring break getaway on Amelia Island. Very clean condo just a couple of blocks from the beach, with beach items (chairs, umbrella, etc.) provided. Communication with owners was excellent. Area was nice and historic downtown was great for enjoying dinner in the evenings. Do the sunset cruise!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah and Michael Harris

Host profile image
We live in Atlanta, but come to Amelia Island as much as we can! We own and operate two other vacation rentals on the island (VRBO #2106981 and #2578408) and we love making sure people have amazing, relaxing vacations. We can't wait to host YOU!

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the peaceful north end of the island. It's perfect for biking anywhere - from Fort Clinch to downtown, and the beaches are the best for shark tooth hunting. We also love that we can walk to restaurants from our unit - and to Egan's Creek Greenway.

What makes this property unique

We spent a lot of time updating this property and making it beautiful, relaxing and fully stocked. We provide all the beach equipment you'll need (chairs, umbrella, towel and beach cart)!
