Dual Suites & Ocean Views at Sandcastles Villas | Pool, 2 Balconies & Golf

Four high school girlfriends enjoyed a two-day reunion here to celebrate our 60th year! It was even better than we hoped for. The location and view were perfect; the beds/pillows were great; the kitchen was very well-equipped; the experience/interaction with host company was seamless. Thanks for hosting our first stay to Amelia Island. We will be back!

I highly recommend a stay here!

The inside of the condo has a lot of room and many things have been updated. It gives plenty of room and privacy for adults and children with the 2 separate suites and balconies. You can not see each other from the balconies. It is right on the beach, although you have to walk out of the parking lot side of the building and then walk around the building or through the pool. The biggest problem is that they do not provide BEACH chairs or towels! In a Beach condo!!! They are all “locked” inside the owners closet who is unreachable as Vacasa manages the property. Vacasa was totally unhelpful, “they said well rent them but we don’t know where you can do that.” There are no rentals! We’re not buying beach chairs for 4 days. The building is horribly outdated and needs some TLC. It is disappointing to pull up to such an outdated building. Most of the things in the condo are updates but there are still relics-the popcorn ceiling and toilet seats, there is some black mold in the master shower ceiling. Would stay in the Omni next time.

Great access to beach plus wonderful restaurant options with Omni next door. We will be coming back.

We spent a week in this condo. Located on the 3rd floor in a beach-front building, the unit is nicely sited to provide a good view over the dunes and vegetation without feeling too far up in the air. We appreciated the fact that we had palm trees by our balcony as well as the dunes of the Hidden Forest to our south blocking the view of the Omni hotel complex, which is next door but shielded by the dunes and forest. The unit itself is comfortable but a bit dated and somewhat institutional in ambience. The rooms are tastefully decorated, but the kitchen and bathrooms look like they haven't been updated since the building was constructed. Everything was clear and in good working order, but it all seemed past due for an upgrade. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, glassware, and appliances, though the latter were definitely not high-end. We also lamented the following shortcomings: dim bedroom lighting, the absence of a chair in one of the two bedrooms, and the total absence of any documents explaining unit maintenance (e.g., the presence of a recycling bin) and food and activity resources in the area. If you want the feeling of luxury and state-of-the art furnishings, this unit is not for you. Comfortable, convenient, with good views, but not all that impressive.

Clean property

Great location. Beautiful resort. Great view from the 2 balconies. Love how close it is to the sand... short walk. Spacious living space, well maintained. Overall very nice furnishings (with new sofa that is upgraded from the picture) with 2 exceptions: the beds in main bedroom were not very comfortable and would be the main reason I would not stay here again. Also I think the reason we kept finding dirty dishes in the cabinets is because the dishwasher didn't work well because we often had to rewash dishes that came out of the dishwasher. Plus it was really loud! If not for these 2 issues I would reedy this again without hesitation!

Our family enjoyed staying here. Our daughter and her children had their own unit. Nice pool. Convenient location near laundry room.

Everything was pretty good. Only problem we had was trying to figure out if there was a grill somewhere on the property so we could grill some dinner. Tried reaching out to the number that was given with no response. FYI - There are no grills there. Other than that, the Omni is a beautiful place, and the Sandcastles are great.

We love The Omni Amelia Island Plantation, If you’ve never been it’s so beautiful and would highly recommend. The condo was beautiful and the perfect location (very close to all the restaurants and shopping) but the pool was freezing! My only complaint was not having a heated pool, especially since it is open year round. Our kids were so disappointed they couldn’t swim.
