About this property

Luxurious Oceanfront Condo on the Amelia Island Plantation

Our Shipwatch condominium is located directly on the Atlantic ocean with beautiful views of the ocean and the pool. The views you see were taken from our balcony. The 2131-square-foot living area has three large bedrooms each with its own full bath located within the bedroom suite. Depending on the sleeping arrangements, it can accommodate 10 guests.
Unlike most places that have only a 40 or maybe a 50 gallon water heater, we have an 80 gallon hybrid-electric water heater, to where everyone in the villa can be showering at the same time. That combined with an additional 50 gallon in the adjoining suite, you can have a whopping 130 gallons of hot water at your disposal for multiple users for special events.
The adjoining suite can sleep an additional 4-6 again depending on sleeping arrangements. Please inquire if you have any questions in this regard.
The condo has beautifully decorated rooms with oil paintings and tile floors and for additional privacy when you retreat to the lower floor it is as though you have gone to another condo! The bedrooms/baths and laundry area are downstairs and upstairs is a large kitchen, half bath, living area, wet bar and separate formal dining room. The large balcony has three sets of sliding glass doors that gives floor to ceiling views from every room upstairs. The balcony is furnished with a beautiful table and chairs for enjoying your coffee as the sun rises or dining under the stars.
The condo is located on the Amelia Island Plantation. Enjoy the hundred year old Live Oak Trees that drape the roads and bike paths right next to the sea. And for those who wish to relax and be pampered, a day at the Spa is fabulous! Whether riding bikes on the miles of paved bike trails, fishing, shopping, or horseback riding on the beach, there is always something to do on the Plantation! There is so much to do (or NOT do)!! You may want to explore the island or prop up your feet and just relax! It is your vacation and we want everyone in your group to enjoy it 'their way'!! Those who stay up late at night or rise early in the mornings will not disturb others who may want to stay in bed. It really is like having two condos!!!
All three of the bedrooms are suites with the full baths located within the bedroom suite. All baths are identical with a full bathtub and overhead shower, toilet and sink on a long vanity....no having to get dressed and go down the hall in the middle of the night ...or having to share!!! Two of the bedrooms are Master Suites with a king size bed and a separate dressing area with a large mirror and long vanity where you can apply make up or style hair while someone else is bathing and the steam is not a problem! The third bedroom has two twin beds that can be pushed together to make a king bed by using the connector in the closet. The condo has more storage space than most homes!!! There are several walk-in closets and also other closets and storage for linens etc. There is a large washer and dryer behind closed doors in the beautiful downstairs foyer with separate entrance and also a closet in the beautiful upstairs foyer next to the new powder room. It also has a separate entrance. The kitchen is large enough for several cooks and has lot's of pots and pans, dishes, glassware, and beautiful silverware. There is a formal dining room with access to the kitchen using the bi-fold doors or they can be closed....whatever you choose. The furniture is beautiful and has a china cabinet for additional wine glasses etc. The living room blends with the dining room and has a 50 inch plasma flat screen TV and a wet bar. Three sets of sliding glass doors are side by side , giving a 20 foot view and also access to the balcony. Floor to ceiling views are possible from every room upstairs. There is another closet on the balcony with some grilling accessories. There is also a dining table and chairs on the balcony for relaxing and enjoying the view. We are the closest condo to the pool in our association....no walking from several buildings away!! You can also grill on our new grills located to the left of the pool while you swim. The condo is designed with top of the line beautiful furniture and it has all tile floors every where except the staircase which we replaced with wood so the condo is not only beautiful it is maintenance free. The two full Massaud Sofas both make fold out queen size beds with a mattress so that the condo can sleep 6 to 10 people. If needed, the adjoining suite can sleep and additional 4 to 6 people. Having a condo this large and on two floors is wonderful ....upstairs is for fun and if someone is tired or wants privacy, they can go downstairs! Grandparents don't have to keep the same hours as children and everyone doesn't have to watch the same TV programs! This condo is great for weekends but also has such a well designed plan with so much storage and closets...it could be lived in year round!

A mosr beautiful view
We had a wonderful week at Amelia and love staying in the Omni Resort. The location is great, the beach wide and beautiful and the pool great for families. The view from the balcony is incredible and watching the sunrise over the ocean is a great way to start the day. The host is easy to work with and very responsive.

Perfect 3BR Unit
This is an absolute gem of a property. We have stayed in many units on the plantation and this one may be the best combination of location, size, accommodations and owner communication. This is a perfect unit for larger parties, with a very spacious lower floor with the 3 bedrooms. The upper floor is a perfect space as well for dining, congregating and enjoying the perfect view of both the pool and the ocean. I couldn’t recommend this property more.

Perfect spot for a big family!
This was our first stay here. Perfect spot for our large family group (total 13 - we also utilized the adjoining wuite), with plenty of room to spread out (two levels) and comfortable bedding. Never felt over crowded. Location is outstanding, just steps from the pool short walk to beach. Condo well appointed and very comfortable. All the beach chairs and toys you'd need in the convenient storage closet by the pool. Owner is very responsive and provides plenty of info. Excellent value, would gladly stay here again!

Amelia Stay with Kacey
Property is in excellent location and has great ocean view. Property itself needs updating including Painting, furniture outdated and too large, kitchen needs remodel and new appliances, a number of missing and non-functioning lights. Everything works for the most part but I am not sure I’d re-book for a week or longer stay. We will be booking again in Amelia Island. A one off problem was the router for the tv, phone and Wi-Fi replaced prior to our arrival. We had problems with all components and 1 of 4 tvs. Most were fixed by the time we left.

the view was great and the pool was nice but the condo was tired and in need of a good scrub
The pictures on the website did not represent the actual appearance of the condo which was very tired and worn looking. Pipe under the kitchen sink leaked very badly and it looked like it wasn't the first time. The floors were sandy and sticky in the upstairs living and kitchen. Sheets on the beds were worn thin and covers were very faded, very much in need of updates. Very large table on the balcony that made it so you could barley enjoy the view. For the price I expected better. I will not use VRBO again

Amelia Island is a great place; however, the actual villa we reserved was extremely unclean
The villa was Large and we paid a top rate fee for it to be extremely unclean. During COVID we expect it to be cleaned very well. Used samples were placed in the bathrooms which is against health regulations. Animal hair was on the bed sheets and the tables were not wiped and food was still on them. Towels were in the drier when we arrived also.

Needs updating and lots of TLC.
The location of the property was wonderful. Unfortunately we were greeted with a semi clean rental. It felt unclean and very outdated. We had to remove clutter in order to use the rental. We also had the in law suite as a separate dwelling that we paid additional monies for. Every day it rained and every day the windows leaked. The furniture and carpet wet. I talked to owner on a daily basis. Very easy to communicate with. Issues were checked out but not able to resolve while we were there. If you have anyone handicapped in your group this is not an easy place to navigate. Lots of stairs and elevators do not go directly to any units.

We had plenty of room, a lovely view from the living room, dining room, and patio. Lots of towels and beach supplies. Somewhat of a walk to beach. Interior could use some TLC: lots of scuffs on walls, deteriorating kick plates in bathrooms, hole in one tub prevented bath, and shower head in another left a hole in the wall. Great large TVs.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy our condo because nowhere else in the world have we found century old oak trees draping right next to an ocean. The perfect harmony of nature and wildlife together with the sounds of splashing waves we hear from our condo made it our only choice. Also we can be at the Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) in 25 to 30 minutes. Our island sits in a cove that has protected it from major storms for many years.
The many restrauants, unique shops and world class spa make it a dream come true and an escape from reality!

What makes this property unique

Our condo has a wonderful floor plan! When our family gets together it is especially nice to enjoy each others company and yet sometimes it is nice to slip away downstairs for quiet moments! It really is like having two condos. If someone gets up early to watch the sunrise with coffee in the mornings, no one else is disturbed and if others stay up late...those in bed will never know. Also having a full bath located inside each bedroom is wonderful.
