Another Great Stay in Shipwatch

My family and I had another great stay in Shipwatch hosted by Michelle. We had previously stayed at another one of her properties in Shipwatch and this one was just as wonderful. We especially enjoyed the pool and the large balcony. Highly recommend staying at any of Michelle's properties.

Fall Break at the Beach

We’ve vacationed in Amelia Island several times, but this was next level! This property is *just* like the listing - warm, inviting, and perfect for a family vacation. Michelle has thought of everything and more, from travel toiletries to a closet full of beach supplies. I can’t wait to sip coffee and watch the sunrise on the back porch again in the near future!

Golf Trip

Very nice condo to stay in. Close to restaurants. Elevator does not stop on either condo floor. Light in main bedroom closet burnt out. Second bathroom on lower level is hard to close. We replaced the screws in the lower level door latch plate. Door is still very tight. Dining room chairs could use felt strips - other condos as well.

Beautiful condo in a fabulous location

This condo in Shipwatch is fabulous! The decor is lovely, it is well-stocked with all that you need for a week at the beach (including nice chairs and boogie boards), and the layout is perfect for a family. And we loved the views from the balcony! We also loved the location of Shipwatch on the Omni property with so many amenities close by (shops, restaurants, mini golf). And the Shipwatch property is lovely - the pool is fantastic and very clean, the grounds are beautifully maintained, and parking was plentiful. We absolutely loved staying in this condo and will definitely book it again when we return to Amelia Island!

A wonderful stay

I attended an orthopedic conference at the Ritz. I brought my family and wanted a family-friendly layout. My choice didn't disappoint. It was easy to relax in a clean, well-appointed, and cared-for unit. A great view of the dunes and ocean, easy access to the beach and pool. Great performing A/C, too. Michelle was fantastic with communication about getting in the unit and we never needed her after checking in.

Amelia Island Vacay

I was very impressed with not only the cleanliness of the villa, but how well it was stocked. There were so many little touches that made our stay easier, such as ziplock bags and oils and spices in the kitchen, to games for the kids, and even beach gear and flip flops. We were not expecting to have access to these items, so we had a fully packed car with beach umbrellas, beach chairs, and towels and toys. When we arrived we realized that we did not need to bring half of the items that we packed. We plan to return to Amelia Island later this year and will definitely rent from this property manager again because it will make our trip so much easier with the lovely amenities that are provided. Because we have a small child we prefer to cook than dine out, we were pleased to find the kitchen well stocked. I chose this villa based on the 5 star rating for cleanliness and was not disappointed. Michelle ( the property manager) was lovely throughout the process and went above and beyond to be sure that our stay was as pleasant as possible. We will definitely be staying at one of her properties in the future.
