First, Beverly was responsive and helpful. The check-in instructions and information to make the stay more enjoyable were excellent. The unit was clean and tidy when we arrived. The owners have done a great job at providing the extras that add so much to an enjoyable time. Too many of little, yet extremely thoughtful, items to mention. The views of the beach are beautiful and the balcony is an amazing place to enjoy coffee while watching the sun rise. The provided beach items in the lower level lock up are another nice touch. Nothing is perfect, but just be prepared for the traverse from the elevator landing up a 1/2 flight of stairs to the level where the entry to the condo is located. The elevator landings are intermediate to the unit floors. Thankfully all of our group was capable of dealing with the stairs. Getting heavy items up to the room might require some extra muscle. We did locate a great set of hand trucks and cart in the closet that are ideal for assisting with getting heavy items in and out of the unit. They came in handy on our departure and made that process much easier. Maybe anyone reading this can look them up when you first arrive. The stairs that have to be climbed when traveling to the beach from the unit also require some adaptability if using a wagon to haul beach items. All in all, a great place to stay. We will probably return.

About the host

Hosted by Beverly

Host profile image
My husband, Joe, and I love a good beach vacation! Unfortunately so many places have become so over commercialized. We loved the unspoiled beaches of Amelia Island (especially in the Omni Resort development where we are located) that we decided to buy our place. Our goal is to some day move there when we retire. Until then, we love sharing our place to allow other beach goers to have an incredible beach vacation. I love hosting and try to pay attention to the smallest of details. I encourage guests to call me with any questions so I can help to make their vacation a special, memorable one!!

Why they chose this property

We had been looking to buy a beach home for awhile. We searched all along the gulf coast, west coast and east coast of Florida before visiting Amelia Island. We noticed immediately that this area was different from the rest. The people are so welcoming and friendly, the beaches are beautiful, and we really enjoyed the downtown Fernandina area for shopping and dining. The easy access to the Jacksonville airport makes it easy to get in and out. There is also an executive airport on Amelia Island.
There is a relaxed, small sea-side town feeling to the area that we love! We definitely fell in love with the Omni Plantation Resort area and all of the amenities that it has. It is so beautifully landscaped, and has incredible restaurants and shopping opportunities, golf, bike/walking trails, golf cart trails, miniature golf, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding and don't forget THE BEACH!

What makes this property unique

We looked at numerous places on the island but knew immediately when we walked into 1370 Shipwatch that our search was over. This condo was THE ONE. The views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom are beautiful, we really like the open and spacious floorplan, and the upgrades throughout are wonderful. There is a King Sized Bed in the Master Bedroom, a King Sized bed in the 2nd bedroom and 2 queen beds in the large 3 bedroom (same size room as the master). We enjoy the gorgeous sunrises from the large balconies off the LR/DR and also the private master bedroom.
