Spectacular Ocean Front Amelia Island Plantation, Breathtaking Ocean View

This condo is in a great location for enjoying the beach and we appreciated the views (including a great fireworks display on NYE). We were there in the winter so we weren’t able to take full advantage of the beach amenities but we still had a few great walks and watched the sunset. The adult beds were very comfortable and it was very quiet. The downsides were the late check-in and early check-out and a few small maintenance issues. Also, the condo is multi-level with stairs required to get from the entrance to the living area, then steps up to the bathroom and two bedrooms, and another staircase to the master bedroom. They weren’t full flights but still important info that wasn’t in the description. A few other small things could’ve been more clear in the description (the grill isn’t at the condo but where the pool is, too far for us to use) or in the instructions (how to use the HVAC and how to charge the TV remote). But overall we had quite a nice stay and would recommend.

We had a wonderful family filled weekend at Amelia Island! The condo was perfect! It is very homey and had everything we needed! The view was amazing! While we were oceanfront, It was a trek to the beach but well worth it! The beach was stunning! Sterling was easy to communicate with and provided lots of details! We hope to come back soon!

We’ve been coming to Amelia for 17 years and staying in the Plantation. This is a Nice relaxing condo, with beautiful views and close access to everything. The elevator wasn’t working the entire trip and we had an issue upon check in, however the Host was very cordial and professional about it and is making it right with us. Great family friendly atmosphere!

We had an excellent stay at this property. The unit had everything we needed and more, including beach tote, umbrella, and five beach chairs. The accommodations are very spacious and comfortable. We did not encounter any issues during our stay. Our host was very responsive to questions before our stay and sent very detailed instructions and information about the area. We highly recommend and plan to stay again. The only negative of the unit would be if you have limited mobility or small children as the unit is four levels, first entry way/laundry, second kitchen and living, third two guest rooms and bathroom, and main bedroom/bathroom at the top. Views of the beach and pool are fabulous from the main bedroom and living/kitchen areas. The pool and ocean are easily accessible but a pretty good walk when carrying all your beach gear.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The condo itself was clean, and just the perfect size. Nice beds, and lots of pillows. Amazing view! The location was perfect, felt very safe, and family friendly. We also brought our little dog, and he lived his best life!! We loved the board walk, seeing the tortoises, then nice white sand, the view, etc. would definitely come back.

Great property! Couple of door updates but that is all.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. We especially enjoyed spending time on the balcony that overlooks the ocean. Beautiful view to enjoy our morning coffee from and watch the sunrise over the ocean !

This was a much less desirable visit than I would’ve hoped, given the points mentioned in the following summary. I’ll say one good thing for it: the condo has a nice view of the beach. But read on because there are plenty of other places on Fernandina Beach that also have nice views and likely don’t have these issues: 1. Lack of consideration for guests. Less than ten days after booking the condo and making the first payment, the host contacted us to ask if we were still planning on staying there because they had others interested in it for those dates. I thought this rather off-putting, given that we had already booked it and put money down on the place. Upon arriving at the gate, we found that the security guard did not have our names on the list. She searched for a while, and in the end was gracious enough to let us through based on an email I showed her. 2. Badly in need of repairs and updates. Nearly every door would stick and make a loud noise when opening. Not very conducive for good sleep during the night when you have more than one family there. The master bedroom and bathroom doors would barely shut at all. And the sliding glass door to the balcony was very hard to open and made a loud screeching noise when it did. Seems this is not a recent issue. A review from 2017 and others says similar things. Towel racks kept falling off. Turns out this is not a new issue for this unit either as another review from 2017 pointed out. Several blinds were missing in two of the rooms, which made it impossible to sleep in. Unless you want to watch Fox News, you’re not watching TV downstairs. There was no changing it. And the remote for the TV upstairs didn’t work at all. 3. Wrangling about refundable pet deposit. Before we booked the place, I asked in the inquiry chat if the pet deposit was refundable, and the host said that it was. After our stay, we didn’t see that it had been refunded so I messaged the host asking when we could expect to receive it back. The host’s response was that they didn’t have our deposit but that we should check with VRBO. I did that and, of course, VRBO said the host should refund it. I wrote the host back, but we didn’t hear anything for three days. So I called VRBO, and they touched base with the host and apparently convinced them that they needed to refund it. Granted we did get the deposit refunded, but only after we informed VRBO about the situation.

Thanksgiving with family was great has to check out a day earlier due to the plumbing problem

Enjoyed this beachfront property.
