Pool was inoperable but it was too cold anyway. It’s going to be nice once finished. Loved how quiet it was and clean clean clean which is my top priority. Ready to book again already.

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!
