Mother-Daughter weekend

We love Amelia Island! This condo is great. The view of the ocean from the living room, kitchen and bedroom was perfect. Gordon was an excellent host and was very fast in responding when we had a question. We wish we could have stayed longer but now will just go home and start planning our return trip. We will stay here again.

Beach getaway.

There are beach accessories available like camping chairs, cooler, boogie boards, and an umbrella. Photos are very accurate and area was quiet. You can bike on the beach. Bring something to gather shells, there's so many!Entering and leaving the property is a little annoying because of the call box. Southern pool is under repair along with the outdoor shower but apparently you can use the Northern.

Three days wasn't enough!

From the moment I booked, Gordon was an attentive host. His responses and attention to detail reflected his passion in ensuring his guests have a pleasurable stay. We had no problems checking in, and everyone in the community was friendly and helpful. The condo is in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean. With easy access to the beach, we were able to take full advantage of it's beauty. It is clean, fully stocked and very comfortable. We are looking forward to visiting Amelia Island again and hope to extend our next stay.

Great Views

Pictures are accurate. Great views and great location. We were close enough to other things on the island outside of the beach and pool. If you’re looking for a quiet laid back vacation, I would rate this at the top. The check-in process was flawless and the host was very responsive. Full kitchen with all the usual appliances available. 5 Star unit, location, amenities, service and vacation. Would definitely rent again.

Great location, easy stay!

I only originally had difficulty getting in the property gates, but I’m certain the host had written me instructions I had just glanced over them. The property is in an excellent location with fantastic views of the beach. My only complaint would be that the furniture needs to be updated, the bed was not very good and the pull out sofa mattress was not comfortable at all. Overall the property is a great pick for anyone wanting to visit the island.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Dinsmoor

Host profile image
We live right off the island and have always loved being here! In our free time we like to spend our days either on the beach / at the pool or on the boat....anywhere near the water. We take pride in our ownership of our villa and hope that you will enjoy your time with us.

Why they chose this property

Surf & Racquet is perfectly situated on the south end of Amelia Island- just down from the Ritz-Carlton and north of the Amelia Island Plantation- and it remains a "secret spot" among those in the know. Our busiest times of year are from March through mid August and the amount of people here during that time is a fraction as compared to places like Daytona, Jacksonville Beaches and especially Hilton Head (we've spent a lot of time in these areas). To the south of the island, you will find the undeveloped Talbot Island (award-winning state parks) and to the north, you will find Historic Fernandina, birthplace of the modern shrimping industry and past playground of families such as the Vanderbilts, du Ponts, and even Edward Teach (Captain Blackbeard).

What makes this property unique

Our villa is totally renovated and updated- to our tastes- as we lived in the condo after downsizing from a residence. We hope you enjoy your time with us!
