Sandcastles Stay 6/11/25 to 6/15/25
Once entering the rental, you get a beautiful view of the ocean. On the counter are pamphlets that the unit is for sale, and we wondered if a realtor might want to "show" the listing. One of the smoke detectors in the unit started chirping, and we contacted the owner- they did have spare batteries to use in the unit but I would need to change the batteries myself (I did) as no one would be available to change the battery until the next day. Luckily the smoke detectors were within reach on the wall & not on the ceiling. We received 3 different check-out instructions. Sitting on the porch, however, watching a beautiful sunrise, provided the perspective of a nice stay on Amelia Island.

Good... could have been great
Overall, this is a nice condo. Lots of light, easy access to the beach and pool, wonderful neighborhood, and gorgeous view. There were several issues. The keypad to enter the condo was broken and it took some time to figure out how to access the key to get us into the condo. Once we got the key, it only worked on one of the two doors into the condo. The keypad was never fixed during our stay, so we only had one key the entire stay. The other issue was the bathtub. In the pictures it had both a shower head and bath faucet. Once we got there, there was no bath faucet, just a capped roughed-in pipe sticking out of the wall, so my daughter was unable to take a bath during our stay. The living room fan also did not work. The property manager was helpful when we arrived in getting us access to the condo via the key box, but the property manager did not respond to us when we contacted them about other issues.
