Oceanfront, fully renovated, all 5 star reviews

Experience unforgettable moments with your family or friends in our serene and spacious condominium at Shipwatch Villas, located on the grounds of the prestigious Omni Amelia Island Resort in Amelia Island, Florida. Our fully renovated, 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom condo comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests, making it the perfect choice for your next vacation destination.

Shipwatch Villas is located on the ground of the Omni Amelia Island Resort.

Our condo is located within the beautiful setting of the Omni Amelia Island Resort. Our resort is an exclusive resort like no other, with over three miles of uncrowded beaches and countless waterways to discover. Quietly nestled among a great forest of live oaks, you’ll love exploring the numerous walking and bike paths. The Omni Resort offers a variety of shopping and restaurants within walking distance of our condo, and there’s even a miniature golf option set among the majestic live oaks. If you’re a nature lover, you’ll find an amazing variety of birds, turtles, crabs and even an occasional manatee sighting all in their natural habitat. Truly, an amazing location!

Our spacious 2nd floor condo is decorated and flows just like a home ~ to ensure that you feel comfortable during your vacation, and at the same time get that ‘I’m-in-a- luxurious-resort’ feeling! Master bedroom has a king sized bed with a large walk-in closet and spacious master bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed with private bathroom and the third bedroom has 2 queen sized beds with its own bathroom also. Our condo sits in the south corner of the Villas, so it is filled with amazing ocean views: from the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the breakfast area, as well as the master bedroom on the south side of the condo. Our Villa also overlooks relaxation area and green space. Our complex offers a seasonally heated pool. We have T.V.'s in each bedroom and the living room. Our condo includes comfortable towels and our sheets are high quality, so you will rest easy! The kitchen is fully stocked with any of your cooking needs and is equipped with a Keurig single cup coffee maker, a normal drip coffee pot, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. We can add a Porta-Crib and high-chair ~ both upon request.

We try our best to keep beach chairs & umbrellas, small beach toys and other ‘beachy/pooly’ fun items in our condo’s storage closet for you to enjoy!

Please be aware that this complex does have an elevator but, when exiting the elevator, there are still about 5-7 stairs/steps to get to the actual floor where our condo door is located. We are not a handicap accessible complex.

I’m happy to be directly available for any and all needs you have during your stay. My goal is to provide quick-action and attention to you ~ so our cleaners, handymen, and other contractors are readily available, as they live on the island in case you need them.

We hope that you will feel valued and appreciated throughout your stay, and to ensure that you get the best experience, you will connect directly with me ~ you have my cell phone number to call for anything-even recommendations throughout your vacation.

This is perfect for a family occasion or special vacation. Truly a premier condo with amazing ocean views and close to all resort activities. Amelia Island was just ranked in the top 3 Islands in the Continental US by Travel and Leisure 2021! You won't be disappointed if you plan your vacation on Amelia Island. This rare opportunity is ready for you and your family to build lasting memories.

I would highly recommend travelers insurance to protect your vacation from any emergency.

With this rental, guests can enjoy access to the Omni resort's walking and biking trails, spa, nature center, putt-putt, and more. Golf is available at many courses in Amelia Area, including Oak Marsh located on the grounds of the Omni Resort. Bike and golf cart rentals are also available on a first come first serve basis. This property is NOT a rental through Omni Amelia Island Resort and does not give you access to "resort privileges or amenities" like the main hotel pool and fitness center, and Racquet Park is only open to club members and their guests.

***While you’re free to take advantage of the on-site Omni public amenities throughout the Plantation, their pool, tennis courts and fitness center is not included with this rental (Shipwatch has their own private pool).

Our layout achieves any/all social-distancing practices that you desire. The condo’s front door entrances are located in an outdoor / open-air hallway. There are elevators, but there are also open-air stairwells that provide access to all floors, as well. There is no indoor closed-entrance or common area to be concerned with in light of Covid-19. Since we are a private resort, our beaches are NEVER crowded. Cleanliness (as well as elegance and comfortability) remain our top priorities for your vacation in our condo. We are following ALL CDC guidelines, as well as Nassau County's protocol for cleanings.

Family friendly stay
Our family of 6 with ages ranging from 10 to 80 stayed here for a week in October. This was a wonderful time of the year to stay as we had the pool and beach nearly to ourselves. The condo is a short walk from the pool and beach. There were adequate beach towels and beach chairs. Kitchen is large and stocked with plentiful dishes, glasses, pots and pans, etc. The property has nice walking trails and is very pretty for morning walks. There are great restaurants close by and in downtown Fernandina Beach. Although there is an elevator, it stops at a 1/2 floor level, so you do need to walk up 6-8 steps unto reach the level of the condo. This wasn’t an issue for us, but could be for someone with mobility issues.

Great Stay at Shipwatch
The condo was excellent, clean, and comfortable, just as advertised. Our hosts were also timely in their communication and everything was a breeze. The unit was steps to the pool and a few more steps to the beach. We had two toddlers in our family, so the convenience factor was a major plus. The unit has plenty of space and all everything within worked perfectly. We would definitely book again.

Great Family Trip
Wonderful family vacation in a beautiful condo! Everything you need for a wonderful week at the beach! Communication was super- hostess was quick to response to any question/needs. Plenty of room for our whole family-we enjoyed watching the sunrise from the patio in the mornings and then playing cards at night at the table which fit our whole crew. My grandchildren and children are ready to go back-this was one of our favorite places to stay on Amelia Island so far!

Beautiful updated condo. Kitchen is fabulous!
We had our annual family reunion. 6 condos were rented throughout AIP. Ours was by far the nicest! We loved having access to beach chairs since our car was packed and we left ours at home. We sat on the porch every morning for coffee and watching the sunrise. I loved the lotion they had in the bathroom! Such a nice touch. We loved every minute of our stay at AIP. Thank you for making our week at the beach a 10!!!

Fantastic Week at the Resort Condo
This condo was the best place we've stayed at in Amelia Island. From the beds to the kitchen and the bathrooms, everything was really comfortable and updated. They had plenty of really fluffy bath towels along with really nice beach towels. The condo was outfitted with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. Even the bath tissues were really soft!:o) This place was amazing!!

Family vacay
Overall the condo itself was great! The complex is older but this unit is updated. The beds were soft. Kitchen was well stocked. Property owner is available via text and helpful. There were tommy Bahama beach chairs available for use and in good condition. It was nice that all rooms were on the same floor in the condo. However the walk to the beach is up and down a lot of stairs and is far which you should be aware of before booking. The pool was closer and very nice but we were wore out by the time we got to the beach. Deff wouldn’t stay at this particular property if you’re unable to walk far. You can’t take a beach wagon because there are too many sets of stairs. Once you make it out to the beach, it’s a huge beach area with alot of room.

Beautiful condo with all the amenities, great view, easy access to well kept pool and beach. I can’t think of a better, more relaxing place for our quick getaway weekend. We were there for the beach but it was an easy ride over to Fernandina Beach to enjoy the picturesque town center and eat some absolutely delicious food! We plan to be back!

Beautiful Updated Condo!
What a special time with family at this beautiful and thoughtfully designed condo! The balcony views of the beach are so peaceful looking out over the well manicured landscape and dunes while the layout gives plenty of space for family and/or friends to be together! The owner gives accurate and detailed description of what is included when staying at Shipwatch. The owner's explanation answered all our questions about staying in a new place (Amelia Island) and affirmed our choice of staying at this condo and location! We enjoyed the location of a 10-15 minute walk to many of the Omni activities and restaurants while having more privacy at the Shipwatch pool and beach area. This condo provides many beach chairs and towels and there is also additional chair/umbrella rentals if needed. There are bikes to rent nearby and the Par 3, 10 hole golf course is perfect for family fun! The condo provided supplies if you want to use the grilling area located near the pool. This property is so clean and well maintained. Highly recommend this condo for your Amelia Island vacation and would definitely rent again!

Very Nice Stay
My family goes to Amelia Island annually and have stayed in the same building for years. It's older but this unit has been nicely remodeled with large kitchen and sitting area. It's new and clean. The beach and pool are easily accessible making it ideal. We had an issue with an inoperable dryer, but our host was very responsive and did her best. My only suggestion to the owners would be to upgrade the bedding. All of our guests were uncomfortable on very old beds. For a premium property of this nature, it makes all the difference. Otherwise, it's a great place and I'd recommend it.
