Lovely stay and we were lucky with great weather. Our only issues were the very dirty windows and the unreliable wifi that made it impossible for work.

We had issues with the locks when we arrived, and no response to either of the two after hours numbers provided. We finally heard back 11 a.m. the next day. Had we not figured it out on our own (actual usage did not match the instructions provided), we would have had to sleep with unlocked doors overnight. The electronic locks did not have deadbolts and did not feel terribly secure. The contract specified 4 p.m. check in, the property manager texted the day before to confirm our arrival time, and yet we were not able to access the unit until 6 p.m. Aside from those hiccups, the property was clean, relatively well maintained (though definitely dated). Pool was great and beach access was close. Note that there's limited cell service inside the condo, though it's fine elsewhere on the property.

This condo was very accommodating to our family. Parents, grandparents and kids had more than enough room. We brought our own beach things but condo closet had plenty if we needed more. Kitchen was well stocked. We really enjoyed our stay.

This property looked perfect for a friends getaway, and it was. Property was everything promised: location, parking, beautiful pool, access to beach. It exceeded our very high expectations with the quality of the beach towels and beach chairs. Would absolutely return and would recommend to friends. The wonderful restaurants were a surprise bonus.

Overall it was great! Stairs make a lot of noise going upstairs and down so early risers had to be light footed. Plenty of room and supplies.

We came down as a family of five (three adult children) two with Type1 diabetes. Rode in the 100 mile ride hosted annually by JDRF. Couldn’t have had a more lovely location! The island is spectacularly beautiful and this condo offered a great location within the plantation . Walk to beach, plenty of room,. Large deck.- just not for anyone with weak knees… lots of stairs.

Clean, comfortable and spacious property. Well equipped with beach chairs and beach towels.Worked well with family and kids.Pool was nearby and was nice and there was good beach access. Management company had great follow up. Had some items that needed repair: blinds broken in master bedroom, dishwasher was broken, microwave was not usable due to sparks. Upgrades seem needed.

We have stayed at the Omni property several times in the past 20 years in various condos. This condo is spacious, but the pictures are misleading. It is ocean front in terms of walking, but you cannot see the ocean since it is on the first floor. Nonetheless, the small porch is fine and you can hear the ocean. None of the bedrooms face the ocean, and the master faces the parking lot. Everything in the condo is very old and worn. The paint is chipped on all of the trim and walls. The couch is stained and dirty. The floors turned everyone's feet black so I wore flip flops the entire time inside. Nothing matches in the kitchen. The refrigerator is old. There is only one large pan in which to cook. The tvs are old and small. They do not have capabilities to get netflix or other streaming services. The bathrooms are very old, one has two cabinets with a sign that says "do not use" because it is clearly broken and not usable. The water pressure is actually pretty excellent. One of the worst things is the master bedroom bed is so squeaky that if you roll over, you will definitely wake up your spouse. Positives: The A/C works well. The location to the pool is great. The beach is excellent (although like most condos at the omni, you need to walk over the former golf course to get there). There are beach chairs provided, but know they are older and also worn. We had a great time at the beach, but the condo felt like something I would have rented when I was in college

Everything was nice, good layout. Good supply of paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex and dishwasher detergent. Property manager was very responsive. Easy walk to beach. Great green space area to kick soccer ball. Pool clean but chilly. Noisy when college students moved into condos on our floor, Thursday- Sunday. (UGA vs UF weekend) Floors a little dirty- dirt on feet and crawlers hands and knees. Only problem was limited WiFi and text messaging. No cell service- we had AT&T. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay.

The listing doesn't make clear the number of steps required to access the unit and no elevator to either floor. That became a huge problem for senior citizens hauling ice chests and luggage on arrival and departure. We found ants in the baths multiple times. The property manager was easy to reach. The neighborhood was great but we are unlikely to stay there again bc of the steps.

Great location and nicely decorated, but don't be fooled by the pictures, this place needs some TLC. Biggest issue was cleanliness, everything was dirty, there were bugs, and the inside of dishwasher was COVERED in black mold. I let management know but they didn't seem to care. We have stayed in Ship Watch Villas multiple times, stay away from this unit, there are plenty of other much better choices.

This was our first trip to Amelia Island. Our accommodations were excellent. This was probably one of the cleanest Vrbo’s we have stayed in. There was a great assortment of beach chairs and beach toys. One of the beach chairs was broken but that was probably because whoever used it last didn’t say anything. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of room to cook. The seating in the living room was very comfortable. Keep in mind if you are not able to deal with stairs this is not the location for you. There are stairs going up to the condo, in the condo, and to the beach. As far as location we were not familiar with the area and turns out we were about 15 minutes from downtown and all the good restaurants but it was worth it. This area is away from the busy part of the island and super quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

3BR/3.5BA 2-level condo had plenty of space for my family of 5. The kitchen was well-equipped and there were plenty of beach towels/toys/chairs available. The condo was very clean and the bedrooms/shared living spaces were big (though the bathrooms are small—true for other units in this building). The only downsides were the wifi wasn’t great in the downstairs bedrooms, which also meant the cable boxes down there didn’t work great. Also, the view is just so-so since this unit is on the lowest level of the building. There are stairs to get into the condo as well as to get out to the beach. What I like most about the Omni is the beach and condo pool always have MINIMAL people—great when trying to social distance.
