Sandcastle Retreat - Hosted by Moore AI Rentals

Escape to this gorgeous oceanfront retreat located at the Sandcastles within the Omni Amelia Island Plantation. Upon entering the villa guests are greeted by an updated space that renders beautiful ocean views. The oversized windows pour natural light throughout the open floor plan and into the master suite.

This space was decorated with sophisticated comfort in mind with a palette of blues. The main living area has a flat-screen TV with Comcast Cable in addition to free WIFI and ample seating in the main living area with a pull-out sofa and three chairs. From here guests can access the private balcony to enjoy the sound of the ocean waves.

The dining area comfortably fits four and the kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities including new cookware, a blender, a toaster, a coffee maker, a microwave…etc.
The spacious master bedroom offers a King-size bed, flat screen TV, ocean views, and a connected bathroom with a shower/tub combo.

Great Family Getaway

The property was really great and clean. I want to make sure everyone knows the washer and dryer are community type not private. This and the fact the Ac will only cool to 71 is the only reason this place isnt getting 5 stars.The washer and dryer was a little decieving but we survived and had a great trip.

Special vacation

Nice place. The elevator didn’t work most of the stay, but we were just on the second floor. There needs to be a ramp to the pool area to get to the beach as well for carts. Otherwise everything went well. The condo was nice for 2.

Perfect!

This condo was perfect! The location is perfect, the condo's furnishings were perfect, the pool was perfect, and the balcony was extra perfect! We drank coffee in the morning and wine at night while listening to the ocean and watching the waves roll in. Being this close to the ocean is truly good for the soul! I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying here again!

Lovely stay!

Beautiful beach front property! Amazing views. We appreciated every sunrise and an awesome lightening show from the balcony. The condo was peaceful, clean and well outfitted for our stay. Thank you for having a blender!! Sunrises AND Smoothies! Everything was as shown in the listing photos. I’m a beach gal but we also enjoyed the beautiful pool every day. We tried out two of the restaurants on the resort property and both had great food and friendly service. I had a question for the listing manager before we arrived and she responded quickly and was friendly and helpful. We really had a great time and are looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the resort.

The property was amazing!! Our condo was decorated very nicely. The ocean view was beautiful! The location was perfect!! We will definitely recommend it to our friends!! Dana helped us. She was kind, helpful, understanding and super nice. When it was close to the time to come in June my husbands back was really bad. He could hardly walk. I told Dana I didn’t think we could come at that time. He needed surgery. She said we could come when he recovered. We are so grateful to her.!!!!!!

When we first arrived, we must have missed the cleaning person - the cleaning chemicals used were pretty strong - we had to air it out a little. But, we liked knowing it was clean! The whole place was beautiful and well maintained. Had everything we needed. My only thing - the mattress on the bed wasn't as comfortable as hoped. Super duper team - always polite and helpful. Great staff

Lots of space, great views of the ocean!

Everything was super clean. Great space to move around. Plenty of towels and dishes, and items to stay put and stay inside - or keep car parked and just walk to the beach, and eat at the place. It was a great getaway for my husband and I. Quiet inside and on the deck.

A New Favorite

We have loved Amelia Island for years but this place takes the cake!! Great location. Easily accessible. Well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful views both from the living/kitchen area. The bed was extremely comfortable. The whole place was very cozy and felt like home. We were sad to leave!
