Enchanting Sandcastles Villa-Ocean Front-Amelia Island Plantation
This is a breathtaking, two bedroom villa on the third floor of the Sandcastles condo complex, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The occupants will enjoy two full bedrooms that each have their own full bathroom and balconies, with unobscured views of the Atlantic Ocean and beach. A beautifully appointed kitchen, dining area and living room, sit conveniently in-between the two bedrooms. This spacious complex has three TVs with cable and WiFi, and has a fully equipped kitchen. It sits minutes away from the Omni Hotel and is walking distance to all of the plantation's shops, restaurants, Spa, bike-Segway-golf cart rentals, miniature golf, fishing and other tremendous amenities
Everything was exactly as described. Loved having 2 beds in each room. It was also nice that there were beach chairs and boogie boards there for us to use. The best part is being beachfront! We would definitely love to visit again.
This property is the perfect. The two room and shared living and kitchen space is the ideal set up and location for two families or one large family The kitchen is well stocked with essentials, the beach is close and easily accessible, and the pool is an added bonus.
School got out and 5 educators wanted a low key trip to unwind. This place gave us exactly that! Great location, the beach was beautiful, and the resort was so nice! The condo was perfect for us!
We had a lovely and peaceful stay at the Sandcastles condo in Amelia Island. The property was very quiet, clean, and felt safe throughout our visit. One of the highlights was the serene balconiesâperfect for morning coffee and morning dolphin watching! We also enjoyed spotting the gopher turtles roaming the grounds.The condo layout worked great for our group, especially with the double balconies that offered added privacy between rooms. The pool was clean, decent sized, and never felt overcrowded. The beachfront was a very short walk and easy to access.The nearby Omni Plantation area had a nice selection of shops and restaurants within walking or biking distance. While weâd suggest skipping the dining options at the Omni itself, we highly recommend grabbing pizza at Mellow Yellow in the Centre, and donât miss DeNucciâs ice cream if you head into town. There's also plenty to do nearbyâputt-putt, nature trails, and more. Highly recommend Huguenot Memorial Park/Beach about 10 minutes south. It's beautiful and at low tide there are sandbars as far as the eye can see. This was our favorite swimming spot.Our only suggestion would be for the owners to update a few of the kitchen amenitiesâthere was no proper knife for cutting watermelon, and the blender base was there but missing the pitcher.Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely consider staying here again!
My mom and I had a great mother/daughter weekend at this beautiful condo.
Very comfortable for us with a pretty view.
Would absolutely stay here again.
We have been visiting Amelia Island every February for the last five years. This property has wonderful views, is conveniently located to amenities, and is very comfortable to stay in. Hearing the waves is relaxing.
We enjoyed this unit. Lots of space. Liked that the shared space separated the two bedrooms. We walked to restaurants. Awesome view of beach. The pool was nice and clean. Would stay again.
Great property! Great location? Main entrance keypad problematic in operation. Often times had to use other 2 entrances. Otherwise the accommodations were fantastic!.
Cleanliness was subpar. Condition of furniture, walls, doors, etc were not in the best condition. Just felt very worn in/used. Loved having a code to get in. Views are spectacular. HVAC system worked well.
This condo unit was perfect in every way and just what our family of 5 needed. The beach was as beautiful as we were hoping for. We loved walking along the beach at dusk collecting shells! The unit was very clean and well appointed. Larry was very helpful when I couldnât locate the second thermostat - that was right in front of me :) We already said we will be back next year! Thanks for a wonderful first family vacation in Florida!
Thank you Larry for hosting us at this property! My family of 6 enjoyed every minute. The location was perfect. We walked to the Omni Shoppes to eat and shop and play mini golf too. Spent time at the pool which was clean and new looking. This property is steps from the beach! We also used Amelia Offshore and went on a 2 hour sailing adventure. Highly recommend this company. And I highly recommend this rental. It had all we needed for our home away from home. We got groceries at the Harris Teeter grocery store not far away and even cooked in one night. Thank you so much!
We had a lovely stay at this condo! We have stayed on Omni property a few times and in the building at least 3 times, this being our first time in this unit. Nice decor and perfect location for pool walk and to restaurants on site. The beautiful ocean view we loved! A couple of things:
We could never find the air for The kitchen/ living room. Only for bedrooms.
The tv in the living room is small and enclosed in a cabinet so itâs hard for a night time movie if you have more than can fit the couch.
It was well stocked kitchen wise, everything was clean. I would recommend more towels but thatâs it.
Would stay again!
This is the 5th time we have stayed at a villa at Sandcastles. We always enjoy the location and the layout of the condos; however, this time the condo was only partially clean, not "sparkling" clean as usual. The information for the wifi was difficult to read and the cable box in the main room shut down multiple times a day. While it was a great trip it did have some challenges we have not encountered before. But I would still recommend it to others, assuming these issues were just flukes and not the norm.
This is the second time we have stayed at this particular unit and our 5th time staying on the Omni property. This building is our favorite because itâs walking distance to all the restaurants on property.
Pros of this unit:
The view! Amazing views and you can see dolphins swimming!
The convenience of proximity
The pool
Linens are nice
Kitchen is stocked
Cons of this unit:
Couch needs a good cleaning
Fridge door gets Stuck so comes open easy
Microwave feels like it might fall out soon
Tv is too small for this unit
We would for sure stay again!!
We had the best stay here. The kitchen and the bathrooms were well furnished. The bedrooms were cozy, and enjoying the view of the ocean from the balconies was therapeutic.
We will definitely be back!
