About this property

Sunrise Heaven at Shipwatch Villas in Amelia

Amelia Island was awarded 3rd best island in USA by Conde' Nast Traveler Reader Choice in 2022.

We wrapped up our renovations in early February 2022 and our condo is ready to share with you all. As we designed the color palette for this new renovation, the primary focus was to bring the colors of the outside in. We wanted it to be peaceful and serene when you walked in the door and concentrated on soft sand colors on the cabinets and various shades of blue on the island and furniture. Our very private corner unit has the most incredible ocean views, and we knew that was our focal point. The layout of the kitchen was thoughtfully planned to take advantage of the beautiful views while you cooked or made your coffee in the morning.

We wanted a relaxed, coastal island vibe and we achieved our goal!

Our 3 bedroom, 3 bath condo is located on the grounds the Omni Amelia Island Resort. We are an exclusive resort like no other, with over three miles of uncrowded beaches and countless waterways to discover. Quietly nestled among a great forest of live oaks, you’ll love exploring the numerous walking and bike paths. The resort offers a variety of shopping and restaurants within walking distance of our condo, and there’s even a miniature golf option set among the majestic live oaks. If you’re a nature lover, you’ll find an amazing variety of birds, turtles, crabs and even an occasional manatee sighting all in their natural habitat. Truly, an amazing location!

Our spacious 3rd floor condo is decorated and flows just like a home ~ to ensure that you feel comfortable during your vacation, and at the same time get that ‘I’m-in-a- luxurious-resort’ feeling! Two of the bedrooms can be considered "master suites", as they both have king-sized beds, walk-in closets, lots of additional space, and freshly-updated bathrooms. The third bedroom has 2 full-sized beds, and has it's own beautifully-updated bathroom. Our condo sits in the south corner of the Villas, so it is filled with amazing ocean views: from the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the breakfast area, as well as the master bedroom on the south side of the condo. The condo also overlooks the villa’s pool (seasonally heated) and relaxation area and green space. We have T.V.'s in each bedroom and the living room. Our condo includes comfortable towels and our sheets are high quality, so you will rest easy! The kitchen is fully stocked with any of your cooking needs and is equipped with a Keurig single cup coffee maker, a normal drip coffee pot, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. We can add a Porta-Crib and high-chair ~ both upon request.

We try our best to keep beach chairs & umbrellas, small beach toys and other ‘beachy/pooly’ fun items in our condo’s storage closet for you to enjoy!

Please be aware that this complex does have an elevator but, when exiting the elevator, there are still about 5-7 stairs/steps to get to the actual floor where our condo door is located. If you are unable to do stairs, I would not suggest this condo for your vacation. We are not a handicap accessible complex.

I’m happy to be directly available for any and all needs you have during your stay. My goal is to provide quick-action and attention to you ~ so our cleaners, handymen, and other contractors are readily available, as they live on the island in case you need them.

We hope that you will feel valued and appreciated throughout your stay, and to ensure that you get the best experience, you will connect directly with me ~ you have my cell phone number to call for anything.

This is perfect for a family occasion or special vacation. Truly a premier condo with amazing ocean views and close to all resort activities. Amelia Island was just ranked in the top 3 Islands in the Continental US by Travel and Leisure 2021! You won't be disappointed if you plan your vacation on Amelia Island. This rare opportunity is ready for you and your family to build lasting memories.

I would highly recommend travelers insurance to protect your vacation from any emergency.

With this rental, guests can enjoy access to the resort's walking and biking trails, spa, nature center, putt-putt, and more. Golf is available at many courses in Amelia Area, including Oak Marsh located on the grounds of the Omni resort. Kayak, bike and golf cart rentals are also available on a first come first serve basis. This property is NOT a rental through Omni Amelia Island Resort and does not give you access to "resort privileges or amenities" like the main hotel pool and fitness center, and Racquet Park which is only open to club members and their guests. While you’re free to take advantage of the on-site public amenities throughout the Resort, their pool, tennis courts and fitness center is not included with this rental (Shipwatch has their own private pool~seasonally heated). You are still able to use the restaurants, shops, and spa located on the Resort as well as the pickle ball courts and basketball court at Drummond Point Park on the property.

Shipwatch Villas layout achieves any/all social-distancing practices that you desire. The condo’s front door entrances are located in an outdoor / open-air hallway. There are elevators, but there are also open-air stairwells that provide access to all floors, as well. There is no indoor closed-entrance or common area to be concerned with in light of Covid-19. Since we are a private resort, our beaches are NEVER crowded. Cleanliness (as well as elegance and comfortability) remain our top priorities for your vacation in our condo. We are following ALL CDC guidelines, as well as Nassau County's protocol for cleanings.

A Slice of Paradise

This was our second time staying in this unit. Our experience was fabulous once again! The condo is so comfortable, spacious, and has lots of natural light. The grounds are spectacular, we enjoyed walking throughout the property each day, and we captured awesome sunrises and sunsets (just below the top floor there is a balcony off the elevator which is above the tree line and faces the Amelia River).

Luxury Beach Condo

We had an amazing and comfortable trip at this well-appointed beach condo. All of the furniture was comfortable and plenty of amenities to enjoy the beach and play games during the evening. Plenty of television options and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. We really enjoyed our vacation and are thinking of renting again this summer.

Oasis in Amelia Island

Our stay at Sunrise Heaven at Shipwatch Villas was outstanding! The condo is perfectly situated very close to the beach as well as in walking distance to the Omni Hotel's shops and restaurants. The condo has light coming in from three different sides, which makes it bright and appealing. The kitchen was perfect for our one gourmet chef in our traveling party, along with a big dining room table close-by. The bedrooms were spacious with two ensuite bathrooms and other amenities. The condo is very tastefully decorated and well-appointed. There is a balcony facing the ocean with comfortable chairs - perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail. What stood out to me was our host, Michelle, who was a great communicator with us both before our stay by providing a helpful guide to the area and also by checking in with us during our stay to ensure that all was well. While we did not have any issues during our vacation, I had confidence that Michelle and her team would have addressed them immediately. This is a condo I know we will visit again in the future and are already looking forward to our next stay sometime soon.

Wonderful condo in a beautiful location

Had a great week in Amelia Island and this condo was perfect for our family. Ocean views and a quick walk to your choice of beach or pool. Well appointed with everything you could need. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and it was great to have beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella and even beach towels ready to go. Can’t wait to return.

Great Beachfront Condo Overlooking the Atlantic

Sipping morning coffee on the outdoor porch of this beachfront, beautifully appointed condominium overlooking the ocean made our family gathering a week to remember! We loved watching the turtles and rabbits each morning and early evening scamper amid the lush grass surroundings. This condo was well equipped with everything you need - a true gem!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Sheintal

Host profile image
My name is Michelle Sheintal. As our guest, you are a priority to me, and I am 'on call' to help you with anything you need during your stay ~ including any problems that could arise or to assist in guidance for fun activities and restaurant suggestions. My cleaners and handymen live nearby and can easily address any issues that need their attention during your stay. I am just a call or text away!

Why they chose this property

We have spared no details or expense to make sure you are comfortable during your vacation. Our number one goal is to have you return for future vacations. Our condo has 'high-quality, name-brand' furniture & mattresses, linens, small kitchen appliances, towels, dishes, cookware, etc. We have created an environment within the condo that will hopefully tempt you to go ahead and book your next vacation with us ~ while still at our condo! The amenities at Shipwatch are superior to any condo I've stayed at in Amelia. The pool is over-sized and has a great deck area (including an area with covered tables).

What makes this property unique

You will receive a 'Welcome Packet' (via email) before your arrival that will provide you with all of the information you need (for a smooth check-in, and additional details to enhance your stay). Our Packet also includes restaurant suggestions, info on fun activities located on or near the Resort (ie bike rentals, golf cart rentals etc.), golf course suggestions, door codes, WiFi instructions, and so much more that will be a great reference for you during your vacation.
