Wonderful condo!

Our experience was fantastic! The condo was just as described. We appreciated all of the extras to make our visit great, such as beach chairs and umbrella. Even though it was mid-summer, the beach and pool did not feel crowded. I could sit on that balcony and gaze at the water forever...

Fall Break at the Beach

We’ve vacationed in Amelia Island several times, but this was next level! This property is *just* like the listing - warm, inviting, and perfect for a family vacation. Michelle has thought of everything and more, from travel toiletries to a closet full of beach supplies. I can’t wait to sip coffee and watch the sunrise on the back porch again in the near future!

Beautiful condo at a beautiful beach

I will definitely be coming back to stay here! Amelia Island was surprisingly not crowded during spring break week, and we truly enjoyed the privacy. The condo was clean, well-stocked, and had beautiful views. I could really tell that the owners wanted the stay to be comfortable for us by providing everything we needed- towels, chairs, toiletries, and even a few snacks. Loved our time here!
