The short review:
The property is as advertised, the beach is an easy walk, and the pool is great for kids to play in. We would absolutely come back again.
Now for some details
The beach:
We've been vacationing on 30A for years and were a little worried about this beach. We were pleased with what we found. While AI's beaches are not as soft, they are soft enough to comfortably play in the sand. In fact, it's better for sand castle building than 30A beaches. There are also more sea shells to find. So if you have young children, the beaches of Amelia Island will do you well.
The Condo:
The condo is in excellent condition and the furniture is comfortable. The master bedroom has a king bed that is soft and we slept well. The AC is powerful so you don't have to run it all the time. For a fun game with the kids, you can play count the turtles in the condo.
The pool:
We found two pools, but spend all our time at the one closest to the condo. It's max depth is about 5 feet, so it's good for kids to play around in. The staff cleans the pool regularly.
The resort:
The condo is a part of the Omni resort. Everything you'll need is there if you don't want to leave the property. From golf, to putt putt, a small nature center, restaurants, bike paths, and a playground on an "island" with pretend ships and tree to climb.
Amelia Island:
The character of the island is wonderful. With its mossy oaks as you drive along the roads and attractions. We spend an afternoon at Fort Clinch state park on the northern part of the island. There's plenty to do outside of the resort if you want to check out the area.
Destination Amelia:
If you've read this far, you should now that the rental company is friendly. They send several touch point emails before arrival, and one will contain accurate directions to enter the property. So use maps to get to the island, but have their directions handy as you'll need to enter and check in with security when you arrive.
Enjoy!
