About this property

Shipwatch #1305 - Ocean Front! | 3 Bed, 3.5 Bath

Paradise awaits at this stunning two-story, three bedroom, three and a half bathroom oceanview villa, located on the beautiful Amelia Island!

Situated at the south end of the Omni Amelia Island Resort grounds, with direct beach access and heated pool, this well-appointed home is absolutely perfect for your next family vacation, romantic getaway, or ladies' weekend. The first thing you’ll note when driving into this exclusive gated community is the abundance of stunning, old white oak trees and Spanish moss, which form canopies over the roads and bike paths of the community. You will immediately feel in close touch with nature while you're here, Convenient parking meets you at the Shipwatch complex, where you will take stairs up to your new home-away-from-home.

Shipwatch #1305 is an incredible two-story unit, which boasts spacious and open living areas and stunning ocean views, and is tastefully and comfortably decorated with bright, neutral tones and beachy decor. Enjoy easy conversation and entertainment between the updated and fully-equipped kitchen, spacious dining area, furnished for a family or large group, and cozy common area. The balcony, accessed easily from the living room, looks directly out at the ocean, Enjoy listening to the sounds of the waves with a good book and glass of wine. This floor also includes a bathroom for easy access.

The lower level of this home features three generously sized bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with large, comfortable beds and luxury linens. This property comfortably sleeps six guests between the king-size master, queen guest bedroom, and third bedroom offering two twin beds (which can easily be turned into an additional king bed). We would also love to welcome your four-legged, furry family members (dogs up to 75 pounds) to explore the beautiful beaches, Historic Downtown area, or to walk the trails throughout this beautiful island.

All fresh linens and towels are provided for our guests. We also provide a starter pack of toilet paper, paper towels, dish washing soap, dish pods, and laundry detergent. Beach chairs, beach towels, and an umbrella are also provided for you to use during your stay.

Just outside is the oceanfront heated pool (seasonally, October - February) and grilling area, just steps away from the beach. It is conveniently located close to the Omni Amelia Island Resort with a wide variety of dining and shops. After a busy day at the beach or the pool, stroll through the shops or spend some time at the full-spa facility. No matter the occasion, your party will undoubtedly plan future visits and create memories that will last a lifetime at the gorgeous Shipwatch complex.

Please note that accessing this condo does require walking up and down a minimum of half a flight of stairs.  While there is an elevator at Shipwatch, it only stops between floors, which means that being comfortable with steps is a must to enjoy your stay here.

Please be advised, this property does not offer access to the Omni Resort privileges or amenities. Access to the main resort pool, fitness center, shuttle service, and Racquet Park (Drysdale) is restricted to only club members and their guests.

All RVs, trailers and boats are NOT allowed within the security gate. Please inquire for further details.

Pets under 50lbs are welcomed! No aggressive breeds and pet must be crated when guest is away from rental.

Beautiful!!

We stayed at this beautiful condo with our adult children and their spouses. It was perfect! I loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. We actually stayed in this building at the Omni Resort over 20 years ago with our children. We had great memories here 20 years ago and we made many more amazing memories recently. The beach is beautiful, hardly anyone on the beach. We rented bikes and rode all over the resort on the many bike trails.

Good unit, poor management

We had issues with the locks when we arrived, and no response to either of the two after hours numbers provided. We finally heard back 11 a.m. the next day. Had we not figured it out on our own (actual usage did not match the instructions provided), we would have had to sleep with unlocked doors overnight. The electronic locks did not have deadbolts and did not feel terribly secure. The contract specified 4 p.m. check in, the property manager texted the day before to confirm our arrival time, and yet we were not able to access the unit until 6 p.m. Aside from those hiccups, the property was clean, relatively well maintained (though definitely dated). Pool was great and beach access was close. Note that there's limited cell service inside the condo, though it's fine elsewhere on the property.

Wonderful Getaway

This property looked perfect for a friends getaway, and it was. Property was everything promised: location, parking, beautiful pool, access to beach. It exceeded our very high expectations with the quality of the beach towels and beach chairs. Would absolutely return and would recommend to friends. The wonderful restaurants were a surprise bonus.

Location great, Condo needs updating

We have stayed at the Omni property several times in the past 20 years in various condos. This condo is spacious, but the pictures are misleading. It is ocean front in terms of walking, but you cannot see the ocean since it is on the first floor. Nonetheless, the small porch is fine and you can hear the ocean. None of the bedrooms face the ocean, and the master faces the parking lot. Everything in the condo is very old and worn. The paint is chipped on all of the trim and walls. The couch is stained and dirty. The floors turned everyone's feet black so I wore flip flops the entire time inside. Nothing matches in the kitchen. The refrigerator is old. There is only one large pan in which to cook. The tvs are old and small. They do not have capabilities to get netflix or other streaming services. The bathrooms are very old, one has two cabinets with a sign that says "do not use" because it is clearly broken and not usable. The water pressure is actually pretty excellent. One of the worst things is the master bedroom bed is so squeaky that if you roll over, you will definitely wake up your spouse. Positives: The A/C works well. The location to the pool is great. The beach is excellent (although like most condos at the omni, you need to walk over the former golf course to get there). There are beach chairs provided, but know they are older and also worn. We had a great time at the beach, but the condo felt like something I would have rented when I was in college

Raising money for a cure!

We came down as a family of five (three adult children) two with Type1 diabetes. Rode in the 100 mile ride hosted annually by JDRF. Couldn’t have had a more lovely location! The island is spectacularly beautiful and this condo offered a great location within the plantation . Walk to beach, plenty of room,. Large deck.- just not for anyone with weak knees… lots of stairs.

Nice condo, good layout. Great for dogs.

Everything was nice, good layout. Good supply of paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex and dishwasher detergent. Property manager was very responsive. Easy walk to beach. Great green space area to kick soccer ball. Pool clean but chilly. Noisy when college students moved into condos on our floor, Thursday- Sunday. (UGA vs UF weekend) Floors a little dirty- dirt on feet and crawlers hands and knees. Only problem was limited WiFi and text messaging. No cell service- we had AT&T. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay.

Great location and nicely decorated, but don't be fooled by the pictures, this place needs some TLC. Biggest issue was cleanliness, everything was dirty, there were bugs, and the inside of dishwasher was COVERED in black mold. I let management know but they didn't seem to care. We have stayed in Ship Watch Villas multiple times, stay away from this unit, there are plenty of other much better choices.

Issue

The listing doesn't make clear the number of steps required to access the unit and no elevator to either floor. That became a huge problem for senior citizens hauling ice chests and luggage on arrival and departure. We found ants in the baths multiple times. The property manager was easy to reach. The neighborhood was great but we are unlikely to stay there again bc of the steps.

Lovely, spacious condo

This was our first trip to Amelia Island. Our accommodations were excellent. This was probably one of the cleanest Vrbo’s we have stayed in. There was a great assortment of beach chairs and beach toys. One of the beach chairs was broken but that was probably because whoever used it last didn’t say anything. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of room to cook. The seating in the living room was very comfortable. Keep in mind if you are not able to deal with stairs this is not the location for you. There are stairs going up to the condo, in the condo, and to the beach. As far as location we were not familiar with the area and turns out we were about 15 minutes from downtown and all the good restaurants but it was worth it. This area is away from the busy part of the island and super quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
