Amazing location
We had a really lovely time at this condo! The condo was spacious, clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The property is well kept and pool, fishing pier, and tennis courts were immaculate. It is an older property but the view from the living room cannot be beat. We hope to come back!

Great!
This place was very pretty and clean and practical. I appreciated the dishwasher soap. Check it was easy. Communication with the renting company was pleasant and appropriate. Only recommendation is to have higher quality toilet paper… cleaning my child’s bottom was a challenge. Would stay here again!

Thanksgiving Getaway 2023
The condo was perfect for meeting our needs. We loved it! Beautiful view, very roomy,, and accommodating. I would stay here again if the opportunity arises. However, the property itself needs to update or provide adequate outside lighting. Several lights were out on the walkways, corners, near the elevators and steps going to and from the parking lot and going to and from the beach.

It was just … ok
It’s my fault for not reading the fine print. We had 3 bedrooms. Only one had a tv. When it’s raining. Or just older. Not having one in all bedrooms was a big deal. The refrigerator would only get a drink barely cool. But ice fixed that. Last bad thing. Balcony was junky. It wasn’t useable. Other than these things, the condo was adequate and provided us a place to sleep.

Thank you for the review Chris. We are happy to hear that this property was sufficient for your vacation. We do provide the amount of TV's in all of our listings as it is a requirement in listing each of our properties. We hate hearing that you had issues with the refrigerator providing cool water, and the balcony not being clean. Our office did call and leave you a message the day after you checked in to ensure everything was working properly within the unit. If we would have known about these two items we would have been happy to send out someone from out team to address the problems. We appreciate you taking the time to send over your feedback, and thank you for your business.

Great Location
Amelia by the Sea is the only condo with a fishing pier at the property. I am always excited to meet new friends and see some of the folks I've known from prior visits. I just love the place and would stay year-round if I could afford it!

We are happy you have your own little slice of home here on Amelia Island, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future! Thank you again for your feedback.

Best view!
We loved everything about the condo! From catching all kinds of fish and even a couple of sharks on the pier, to enjoyed the beach, and eating and biking all around Amelia Island (especially downtown), everything was ideal. But the view straight out the pier from the kitchen area made cooking and eating in one of my favorite parts of the trip! The rental company was easy to work with which made checkin/out a breeze. Such a great week! Thank you!!

Awesome views and huge balcony
Condo was very clean and nicely decorated. The place was exactly as pictured and the views even better than anticipated. The kitchen was adequate for simple cooking needs but could have used a spice rack and sharpened knives. We cooked all our catch from Speckled Sea Trout to Whiting. Used the charcoal grilles in the commons area and really enjoyed fishing from the pier most every day. Even caught a three foot shark and of course let it go. So many species of fish to be caught, but other units we have stayed at ABTS had some fishing gear available as an amenity. This unit does not, so we bought our own at the local bait shop. The pool was directly below the balcony on this unit so it was more noisy than units on the ends at times, but otherwise peaceful. There are only 2 beach towels so bring more if in a bigger group, but to be honest we never needed one, as we spent lots of time in the ocean, but dried off before coming in. There are two boogie boards and a cool beach kite in the closet as well as a beach chair or two with umbrella. All in all, a great 9 day stay!

Thank you so much for your feedback, we will use this to continue to improve our guest experience. This rental is not advertised to provide spices, so we always encourage our guests to bring their favorite cooking spices with them, but we do apologize for any convenience. The wildlife on the island is very exciting, we are so happy you all experienced it first hand. We also encourage our guests to bring their own beach towels to our properties, the beach towels you all used were probably left by a previous guest but so glad it worked out for you to use them. We are glad you enjoyed the close proximity to the pool, and with that does come the potential of hearing pool activity from others. We are grateful for your business, and we hope we are your first choice when thinking about your next vacation on Amelia Island.

Fun at the beach!!!
We all had a great time in the condo, on the beach and in the pool. It would have been nice if we had been able to get in the condo earlier then 4 especially since it was done being cleaned. Also we thought it was interesting that all your emails said your office was open on Saturdays , when we tried on that Saturday it was always a recorded message. The maintenance company you have was wonderful. He took care of the issues we had and even was able to get a new dishwasher for the unit. It was a fun week!!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We appreciate it greatly and are thrilled you enjoyed your stay!! Unfortunately we did have someone checking out the morning of your stay and we needed time to get the property cleaned, inspected, and properly prepped for your arrival! We do apologize for any confusion with the Saturday phones! We had several Saturdays this summer where cleaners called out and we pulled our team out of the office to prep properties to be sure we could get everyone in on time! We were still working and responding to emails, calls, and text but just couldn’t have someone sitting in the office during those busy turnover days when we needed them out on property! We apologize for any inconvenience! We are so glad our maintenance team was able to assist you! We will certainly pass that along! We are fortunate to be able to do all of our maintenance in house so that team is actually a part of our company! We thank you again for your feedback and hope your family was able to make many wonderful memories! Please come see us again soon!
