About this property

Escape to Paradise -Oceanfront, Beach Access, Pool

Summary:
Guest Cottage's Escape to Paradise greets you with glistening ocean views upon arrival. Memories made, dining alfresco, or basking in the pool, this retreat offers spectacular views from the 3rd floor of Building 3 at Ocean Place condominiums, located next door to the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton. Spanish Oak Trees drape the streets leading up to the development, giving it a unique charm.

The Space:
Recently renovated, this condo features a modern and fresh design, brand-new appliances, fresh coastal decor, Smart TVs, and personal office space. Once inside you will enjoy the open floor plan with 10-foot ceilings and a breathtaking view of the ocean. Access the large 25.6' x 10.4' private balcony from both the master bedroom and living room to enjoy expansive views that stretch for miles along the shore, both north and south on lovely Amelia Island. This balcony provides the perfect private setting to enjoy the spectacular colors that canvas the Atlantic skyline at sunset. Or begin your day watching the beautiful sunrise over the ocean. Both the Owner Suite and living room provide wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that allow a full view of the ocean, beach, and dunes. Sleep with the sliding glass door cracked to enjoy the crashing sounds of the ocean waves pounding on the beach. Take the elevator or steps down to gain access to both the beach and pool. Ocean Place offers two oceanfront pools available for your enjoyment. Access the beach by taking a short stroll over one of the wooden walkways conveniently located just outside the pool areas. Enjoy the restaurants, days, and beach bar at the Ritz-Carlton next-door property.
Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, the perfect family vacation, or just time away with friends, this condo is the place to be!

Wonderful property!

We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties and this was certainly one of the best ones. Very clean, stylish and comfortable. The access to personal beach chairs, etc., was wonderful, as well as all of the extras the property offered. We loved it so much, we’ve already booked it again for next year!

Wonderful stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was great and as advertised. Location of the property right on the beach (plus the benefit of the provided beach chairs and umbrellas) made going to the beach easy and enjoyable, which is what we were looking for in our vacation. Communication with the property manager was easy and prompt attention when we had questions. Highly recommend this property.

This unit is probably the best one I have ever stayed in. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautifully renovated. The location is great. The view from the balcony is wonderful. Very well stocked kitchen and the beach chairs and umbrellas came in handy. I wished we had been able to stay longer.

Beautiful Condo with Amazing Beach!!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful time in Amelia Island! The condo is beautiful and is just as described. Amazing view of the ocean and loved listening to the waves crashing while we sat out on the balcony. The beach chairs and water toys were wonderful (the beach is amazing and has powder-soft sand)!! After a long day of enjoying the beach or exploring the island, the condo was a comfortable place to return to for meals and relaxation.

Lovely condo in great location

Condo is nicely renovated and in a perfect location. Worked great for our family of four. We did have some elevator issues during our stay and power outages (but the power was not just our building). But otherwise everything was lovely.

The Perfect Spot!

Wow! What an incredible rental! My family and I have stayed in a lot of beach rentals and this one takes the lead!! The welcome gift was such a fun surprise! The proximity to the beach is wonderful! Such a short walk! We appreciated the beach towels, beach chairs/umbrella and toys! The beds and sheets were so comfortable! The kitchen is stocked with just about everything you would need!! Watching the sunrises every morning may be my favorite perk! Absolutely breathtaking!! Thank you for such a great stay! We plan to come back again!

Beyond expectations

This is a beautifully decorated, well stocked, fabulously located beach retreat. Immediate decompression upon entering the front door. Beds in both primary and secondary bedrooms are ridiculously comfortable and updated bathrooms with makeup mirror and hair dryer are great. Incomparable view. Use of beach chairs , plush beach towels and umbrella were hugely helpful .The captains chairs on the balcony are the perfect spot for coffee and watching the sunrise. This is a first class accommodation and communications with rental group/owner rep could not have better. Many thanks !

LOVED this condo ! I didn't want to leave

This was my first vacation visit to the Atlantic coast. I was super hesitant as I've always gone down to the Gulf but this gorgeous condo paired with the shell-filled beach & constant breeze will forever be on my mind. This condo was beautifully appointed, and had everything you could think of and a little of what you might have forgot = laundry pods, salt/pepper & board games. The location in this condo was perfect with its nearly private beach, and just a couple miles outside the fantastic Fernandina Beach downtown area. The condo on the 3rd floor was perfect as you weren't a slave to long elevator rides and had a fantastic breeze and view of the ocean (so very thankful I didn't book the ground floor unit). I will very much book this again. I'm already headed down in another couple of weeks for a work conference but unfortunately unable to stay here. This was the perfect locale for my husband, our 10 yo son & my 80 yo in laws. And upon arriving home, I'm already planning a friends trip down with all our of kids.

Quaint stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was tastefully decorated and well stocked with all the essentials. The areas that needed more attention were the outside decks. The main level deck needed cleaning and plants replaced. The balcony would be more appealing with higher seating chairs to give view of the ocean.

Home Away from Home

We love this condo! This was our 3rd year to stay in this unit. You just cannot beat the view. The condo is always clean and Guest Cottage is always nice to work with. Upon arrival the air wasn't working right but they had someone repair it immediately and it ended up not being a big deal at all. Then it worked well for the rest of the week. Very minor. This unit is well stocked and a great location, in the middle of the building on the 3rd floor. The large balcony is a dream! We enjoy watching dolphin daily. And the beach is never crowded. We will definitely stay again.

Escape to Paradise

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this 2 bedroom condo in Ocean Place on Amelia Island. Beautifully decorated, comfy beds and linens, fully stocked kitchen, good sized patio with a table for dining - it has it all. It’s the little things that make a difference. Soft throws on the couch, beach towels, an owners closet full of beach chairs, umbrella, toys etc., and a pantry full of all those items you forgot! Great makeup mirror in the master bathroom too! Love this place

A 5+ star condo

We love Ocean Place, and this unit is outstanding in every respect - very clean on arrival, updated and tastefully decorated, with kitchen and beach supplies much nicer than what you normally see at a vacation rental. Everything about this unit says the owner wants you to have a wonderful time, and to come back. We did, and we will.

Our Favorite Vacation Spot

This is our second year staying at this condo. And again, we walked in and it was super clean. It is probably the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. The owners have so thoughtfully decorated and all of the furniture, including the beds, are extremely comfortable. Even the outdoor furniture is comfortable. The views are unbelievable including daily sunrise views and dolphin every morning. We were even greeted with a gorgeous rainbow over the water on our first day! Also, we noticed the property is better taken care of this year. The elevators and outdoor hallways seemed to be cleaned daily and the pool deck was replaced along with the pool chairs. So nice to see these improvements! The beach was never crowded and the pool was never full. And Guest Cottage is a delight to deal with. They are easy to reach if there is a problem and they do what they can to make your stay enjoyable. We would not hesitate to use them again. And we hope to return next year!

Working vacation

Ocean Place properties are dependably very nice units (we’ve stayed in others besides this one). The kitchen and master bathroom are very nice by any standard, and the kitchen is well equipped. Beds are very comfortable and the smart TV’s are up to date. We would happily stay here again! (Being adjacent to conferences at The Ritz-Carlton is a good reason to stay here..)

Perfect Amelia Island location

This is our second year at Ocean Place, but first year in this unit. The property owner has thought of everything when it comes to including the comforts of home, and it may be the most well-appointed home we've ever stayed in! Amelia feels like our home away from home, and we will be back!
