Luggage cart

There are no luggage carts on this property. I was on the top floor and had to make 6 trips to bring all my stuff up. I'm older and have a dog. For the price I paid you should have carts. I broke a bottle of wine carrying it up with my stuff. There should be a bigger tv in the living room.

Almost Heaven!

The condominium was beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we might need during our stay. The view was spectacular and we spent lots of time on our porch and in the comfortable chairs at the front windows. It was a perfect spot for our dog, both inside and out on the gorgeous property. We hope to visit this condominium again very soon!

Nice place, great view!

First time on Amelia Island and we loved it. The house was nice and had a fantastic view. Balcony access from each room was great. The added security of a gated community was a plus.

The week at 1354D Shipwatch

The property was just as described in the pictures. I love the fact that this property owner is dog friendly. We were able to enjoy our vacation with our pup with us. The whole property is beautiful and the beach is not crowded with people. I sat on the balcony a lot over looking the pool and the ocean. Even though this time of year is hot, as the afternoon came the breeze picked up and it was just lovely. We totally enjoyed our stay and will be back again!

Great view, spacious condo

This condo had a great view and tons of room with a great patio area. The condo is a little dated with shower nozzles that only hit your head and a dishwasher that is in need of repair. Having laundry in the condo was great and we would recommend this property for a family or a couple

Only drawback

I didn't notice this in the caption of the property, if it is mentioned, my mistake. The elevator landing spot is between floors. So it would go to floor D, but that meant you still had to travel up or down stairs to reach your room. Not a deal breaker for my family, but if you had elderly people or anyone in a wheelchair, it would be inconvenient.

Nice stay at shipwatch

The view was lovely as are the grounds and pool area. Easy walk to the beach. The condo is large and has a good layout with newer appliances and living room and dining room furniture. The bathrooms need a refresh/renovation has some peeling ceiling paint, dirty grout rusty tp holder. Otherwise the photos are accurate.

Fabulous Ocean View Condo

We just finished almost three weeks in this roomy two bedroom ocean view condo. The layout is fantastic with a large living room, roomy bedrooms two full bathrooms and an amazing view of the ocean. The beach is steps away and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed. The apartment is definitely in need of a refresh however. The paint was peeling in the bathrooms, curtain rods were rusted, drawers in the dressers were broken and the lamps were janky and worked intermittently. The management company was prompt in addressing our issues and overall our experience was excellent and the location of this condo can’t be beat.

Nice Place

Very nice place and location. Only complaint was NO COFFEE MAKER. I had to go buy one. Seven steps getting to our room were no big deal. We would definitely go back and take our coffee maker. Great pool area and views.

Highly Disappointed

Spent a week here in December. Only positive is that it is facing the beach with a pretty view from the fourth floor. The negatives were: even though it has an elevator, the building is designed so that you have to walk down (or up) half a flight of stairs to get to the unit. It is not at all handicapped accessible and you have to drag your belongings down half a flight of stairs. The unit is in need of a serious renovation. The oven was dirty, the dishwasher broke and needed repair. The smoke alarm went off every time the oven was turned on. Any cleaning service before our arrival was marginal at best. The furniture is dated and worn, curtains beginning to mildew, ceiling fans dirty, screens ripped and metal in bathrooms rusted. Burnt out light bulbs, non-working lamps and electrical outlets. My bad for not reading the VRBO reviews, I just took a recommendation from the rental agent. Another visitor had these same issues three months prior to my visit and the “host” guaranteed a fix. Not so much. To top it all off, there was roof top construction which created annoying noise and then water running down the sides of the walls. The beach in the front is undergoing sand reclamation construction. This unit is not worth the amount of rent they are charging. Make another choice.

A state of slow decay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our second trip to Shipwatch, at this rental. The rental and the setting are beautiful, and they are dog friendly. I do have a few concerns. The condo seems to be in an overall state of decay. The dishwasher shelves go off track every time you manage to slide them out. You have to fight to get them back on track. The oven sets off the fire alarm.(Sorry neighbors) The toaster only works if you hold the button down. On a bright note, the fridge is new. The air returns are in a serious need of cleaning. Something I am sure goes above the weekly cleaning. A lot of the lights don't work, especially in the bedroom. The ceiling fan in the master bdrm does not work. The wicker patio furniture on the balcony is literally falling apart. I am not sure how safe it is for someone to sit on. Someone needs to really own this unit ,update it and give it some love.

Jaw dropping ocean views

The views are everything. Oceanfront. Gorgeous sunrises. Spacious and comfortable. That said, the bathrooms are a bit tired, with peeling paint and rusty shower curtain rods. Similarly, the tile is older, with less than pristine grout. The pink paint peeking out from behind the toilet showed more care could be taken with the paint job. But the ocean views, the peace and quiet. I’d go back.
