Stunning, Fully Renovated Oceanfront Condo – Amelia Surf & Racquet Club (6th Floor)

Welcome to your private oceanfront escape, a completely reimagined two-bedroom condo with almost 40 feet of uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Atlantic. Enjoy the sound of the waves from the living room or either of the two balconies off each of the oceanfront king suites.

The renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances. Each private ensuite bathrooms offers a walk-in showers with high-end tile, marble accents, and sleek new vanities.

Thoughtfully designed with a mix of curated original art and handpicked furnishings from Arhaus, Restoration Hardware, and Pottery Barn, this home blends modern comfort with coastal charm.

OWNER-MANAGED FOR A PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE

This is an owner-managed unit, our only unit - meaning you’ll enjoy direct communication, exceptional attention to detail, and a truly personal touch from start to finish. No management company, no middlemen - just genuine hospitality and immense pride of ownership.

Come experience the sweeping ocean vistas, refined interiors, and the relaxed luxury that make this condo one of Amelia Island’s most special stays.


FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Large, OPEN CONCEPT living & dining area with a new 55 inch Samsung smart HD TV on a full motion mount that enables adjusting to almost any angle and allows you to enjoy our YouTube TV channel package as well as the ability to log in directly to all of your personal streaming accounts. Living area opens to both oceanfront balconies!

• Gorgeous white kitchen with ALL NEW high end Stainless Steel Appliances, NEW cabinets, NEW quartz counters and a large assortment of small appliances, kitchen utensils and cookware.

• The two king bedroom suites have new hybrid mattresses and high end luxury sheets and bedding. Each has a desk with charging station and both open to private oceanfront balconies! Each have new 42 inch Samsung smart HD TV’s on motion mounts that allow you to enjoy our xfinity channel package as well as the ability to log in directly to all of your personal streaming accounts. All new baths in each suite with NEW tile and marble showers, NEW vanities (one has double sinks), NEW flooring and lighting.

• Free (and generally very reliable) Wi-Fi High Speed broadband Xfinity Internet – no problem with video conferencing, zoom meetings, etc. Since we are on a barrier island, there are occasional outages, but Xfinity has been great about restoring service quickly.

• The mechanical room off of the hall near the laundry closet also contains beach gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella and tennis racquets.

• Fully equipped kitchen with most everything you need including both Keurig and regular drip coffee makers.

• The elevator that services our building is just outside our unit providing very easy access.

• There is a front door Arlo camera doorbell for security but no other camera inside the property.

The Surf and Racquet Club is a gorgeous, private, gated resort that is extremely well maintained. The resort offers DIRECT OCEAN ACCESS, 2 AMAZING POOLS and 4 HAR-TRU TENNIS COURTS that are meticulously maintained with a resident tennis pro. The lovely grounds and sweeping lawns are just steps away from the RITZ CARLTON via either the beach or a paved pathway draped by a live oak canopy.

Please note that this unit is set up for adults only... Although we love children (and have raised 2 ourselves!), there are NO child safety features in the condo, we have high end furnishings, high end original art, showers only and the 2 separate 6th floor balconies aren't child friendly, so we simply aren't comfortable hosting children. Thanks for understanding.

Unless a prior agreement has been made, the individual who books the property must also be the primary guest staying at the property. Prior approval is required for any booking in which the person making the reservation will not be the primary occupant of the unit.

Wonderfully Relaxing

The property is well described in the advertisement. It is beautifully decorated and the hosts have thought of just about everything. As they mention it’s probably not best for children to stay there just because of the decor of the unit. Hosts are very helpful. One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at. .

Wonderful condo in a fabulous destination

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this lovely, well-appointed condo. Joe and Joan provided so many wonderful extras—fresh flowers, coffee k-cups, bottled water, wine, and more—that were truly above and beyond the usual in a rental condo. The grounds were well maintained and the beach was one of the nicest that we’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. Truly a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back.

Amazing Experience in Amelia

My Mom & I LOVED Joan & Joe’s condo. I’ve rented many times over the years and this is #1 in my book. So well represented online and even better in person, felt like a home not a rental. Furnishings are gorgeous and everything was provided in the kitchen, bath, beautiful patio furniture and even a make up mirror! We plan to return for sure. Joan & Joe were also great to communicate with pre stay and during our stay. The location is ideal and the views breath taking. I highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Joan and Joe

Host profile image
After vacationing in Amelia Island for many years we decided to fulfill a dream and purchased a 1 bedroom condo in Amelia Surf and Racquet Club in 2017 as an oceanfront retreat for ourselves as well as family and friends and our wonderful vacationing guests! We enjoyed it so much that we upsized to our current 2 bedroom unit in 2021 and did a major renovation that was completed in July 2021! There are more pictures and information on the VillaSoleilAmelia website… so check it out!

Why they chose this property

We spent years visiting beach towns all up and down both coasts of Florida, but immediately fell in love with Amelia the first time we came here over 20 years ago! And the feeling has never changed. From the unbelievable, uncrowded beaches to the charming historic town and the old growth oak canopies all over the island, we’ve never found a place that offers so much or feels more like home.

What makes this property unique

The View is simply spectacular. And the location of this south end resort accessed from an idyllic tree canopied street just steps away from the Ritz Carlton can’t be beat! Miles of beachfront at the back of the complex and miles of pristine paved trails to the front with pools and tennis on the property and golf, restaurants and shopping all less than a mile away offer something for everyone!
