About this property
Shipwatch #1342 - Ocean Front!
Summary:
Shipwatch #1342 - Ocean Front!
The Space:
Paradise awaits at this stunning three bedroom, three and a half bathroom oceanview villa, located on the beautiful Amelia Island!
Situated at the south end of the Omni Amelia Island Resort grounds, with direct beach access and heated pool, this well-appointed home is absolutely perfect for your next family vacation, romantic getaway, or ladies' weekend. The first thing you’ll notice when driving into this exclusive gated community is the abundance of stunning, old white oak trees and Spanish moss, which form canopies over the roads and bike paths of the community. You will immediately feel in close touch with nature. Convenient parking meets you at the Shipwatch complex, where you will take stairs up to your new home-away-from-home.
From the entryway, you are welcomed into an open living room and dining area that overlooks the beautiful beach landscape and palm trees. Decorated in soothing blue tones and comfortable fabrics, this condo offers an array of amenities to ensure your every comfort, including a fully equipped and well-stocked kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances, flat-screen televisions, spacious seating and entertaining areas, and ocean-facing balcony, easy accessed from the main living area. This level additionally includes a bathroom.
The lower level of this home features three generously sized bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with large, comfortable beds and luxury linens. This property comfortably sleeps eight guests between the king-size master, king guest bedroom, and double bunkbed guest bedroom. We would also love to welcome your four-legged, furry family members (dogs up to 25 pounds) to explore the beautiful beaches, Historic Downtown area, or to walk the trails throughout this beautiful island.
All fresh linens and towels are provided for our guests. We also provide a starter pack of toilet paper, paper towels, dish washing soap, dish pods, and laundry detergent. Beach chairs, beach towels, and an umbrella are also provided for you to use during your stay.
Just outside is the oceanfront heated pool (seasonally, October - February) and grilling area, just steps away from the beach. It is conveniently located close to the Omni Amelia Island Resort with a wide variety of dining and shops. After a busy day at the beach or the pool, stroll through the shops or spend some time at the full-spa facility. No matter the occasion, your party will undoubtedly plan future visits and create memories that will last a lifetime at the gorgeous Shipwatch complex.
Please note that accessing this condo does require walking up and down a minimum of half a flight of stairs. While there is an elevator at Shipwatch, it only stops between floors, which means that being comfortable with steps is a must to enjoy your stay here.

Beautiful condo. Amazing resort. Very spacious. Only drawback is the walk to the beach. Very long plus up and down steps. My family and our friends enjoyed the stay
Overall the place was beautiful. Loved that it had a pool and it was beachfront. Beach towels/beach toys/beach chairs and umbrella were provided along with a wagon to haul them to the beach. The ONLY thing that I’d advise to bring is a large box fan for upstairs. The downstairs stayed cool. The upstairs was extremely hot and there was no ceiling fan or box fans provided. The AC unit is located downstairs.
Nice view and the pool couldn’t be any closer . Layout was nice. Each room had its own bathroom and shower. It was quiet and comfortable plus an end unit. Very spacious and nice big closets. Washer and dryer a plus.
We loved the location. The condo was perfect for our family. We had difficulty with a sink that did not drain and the toilets did not flush easily. Otherwise, we would most definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed the Omni Resortlocation. Beds were comfortable, water was hot. Ample room for the three adults and one small dog. Facility had a large pool. Lodging is nice but showing a little age furniture was comfortable but dining table needs to be tightened or replaced before it collapses. Worst part was the elevator setup. It stopped at a level beteeen floors so you either had to haul luggage up a half flight or down one to get to the entrance.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was very nice. The complex was very nice as well. We enjoyed the pool. The walk to the beach was a little far, but I think that's the case for most places in Amelia Island because of the large dune area. Overall a great place to stay.
We LOVE Amelia Island plantation and Shipwatch is our favorite place to stay. This condo was great for our big family that includes teenagers & elementary aged children. The kids loved this particular condo and have asked to stay here next time we come back!
Overall stay was excellent. Parking was a bit constrained at times but it was a very busy holiday weekend. Beach was very nice and was never over crowded even though it was Independence Day weekend.
Great rental. Needed a few minor repairs and found trash under sofa. But very nicely furnished.

Our check in was at 4 and it was not ready until 6. The place was not as clean as it was a year ago when we came. The upstairs is super hot and the AC unit is downstairs. No ceiling fans either. The pool in July is like bath water and not very refreshing. Not sure if it’s new owners or management from the last stay but it was definitely a different experience this stay.

We love Amelia
We love coming to Amelia! We consider it our home away from home. Just a few things that i feel could be fixed at this location would be more cleanliness of the unit. Provide the guest with some dish detergent and laundry detergent. Dryer not functioning properly, might just need a good servicing. Beach umbrella downstairs was broken so we had to buy our own. Sink faucets leak There is no cable at this location. You have to use your own streaming services. For the price we paid per night, the unit needs some work.
We had a fantastic time except for the arrival ay the condo. No carts to haul the luggage , elevator doesn’t go to the entry door, must go down stairs for upper floor entry and up a full set of stairs to the lower entry. Very convoluted circulation requiring exceptional energy and patience. Clients should be forewarned about conditions

Shipwatch on Amelia Island
We were very familiar with the Amelia Island Plantation and have stayed there many times with family. This particular condo had some problems:
-The entry door locks did not work properly and management did not get this resolved while we were there.
-The bathroom tissue holder in the master bathroom had fallen off the wall and needed repair/replacing
-Stairs were a problem. Other condos in the plantation allow you to use a luggage cart to transport luggage from your car to the elevator and then directly inside your condo. This condo is not suitable for older people. I am 67 and had a hip replacement.
-This condo was advertised as having been recently renovated. Who ever is doing your renovation work is a poor craftsman, at best. Also the maintenance man they sent out to help with the lock and bathroom was unskilled and did not know how to repair the items we discussed.
-We checked out one day early and I called Amelia Island Rentals and spoke to them about the problems and asked for them to discount the total rental cost by one day since we moved out early and I let them know early in the day on Friday. Their lack of response will prevent me from using VRBO or the rental agents firm in the future. You just lost a customer and many more in the future because of this rental. I have used VRBO in the past but will not do so in the future. You have too many competitors in the market to give sub par service.
-Had to pay too much $ up front for this stay with no recourse
This was the nicest most beautiful unit we’ve ever stayed in. Lots of room, great view and easy to get to the trails to ride your bike. We went to Bob’s steakhouse and had the best meal we’ve had in years.
Myself and my sister and brother spent 3 nights. The condo was spacious and well equipped. The pool was really big with lots of loungers. The beach was a long walk. Nice location.
