Great option for a couple!

We enjoyed this VRBO and would come back. It's a short walk to the beach, a short walk to the restaurants at the Ritz, and a short drive to Harris Teeter for groceries. We give it two thumbs up.

Nice Condo

Good location! There were some essential items that were supposed to be there but weren’t, so had to purchase. Not as clean as it should have been. Rugs & kitchen floor were dirty. No kitchen dishcloths. Would have been nice to have ceiling fans to move some air. Bathroom tub was super slippery. Master bed sits extremely low to the floor & doesn’t have box springs. Mattress was very hard & uncomfortable.

Pros and Cons - you decide

Pros - excellent view and location. Beaches were beautiful. However if you prefer to be walkable and in the middle of things you should stay in Fernandina not at the lower part of Amelia island Cons - Condo and Complex are tired and worn. Pictures overrated the unit. Kitchen poorly stocked - difficult if you want to cook. Bathroom tight and tub facet is broken can only use shower. Bedroom mattress and bedding terrible- very worn. We almost left a day early to get a good nights sleep. We would never rent this unit or condo complex again.

Great first VRBO experience

The environment and atmosphere was wonderful. My wife has a sensitive back issue and the memory foam mattress was not good for her. However, with not back issues it did not affect me.

Condo was like pictured. Bed was hard as a rock, literally the worst bed I have ever slept on. Furniture overall was uncomfortable. Several light switches controlled nothing. No overhead light in bedroom. Window screens were electric and did not work, so lots of morning sun. Water in condo had a smell. Location was great, easy beach access, and good communication with rental company.

Condo was clean, had gorgeous views, and had easy access to beach, pool, and tennis. King bed was very comfortable, but our kids could feel the springs in the fold out sofa bed. The fold out sofa in another unit where my sister was staying with her kids in B block was much more comfortable.
