Beautiful condo. Nicely furnished. Very quiet and perfect view of the ocean and swimming pool. AC worked well. Only complaint was the bed which had a thick topper on it making it too soft for us and seemed to sink on one side.

We fell in love with the view from the moment we stepped into this beautiful property. We were surrounded with cozy throws, comfortable furniture, oversized towels and a very comfortable bed. It is a very short walk to the pool, beach and our car. Unlike the Omni Hotel, there is no wristband, room key, no parking pass, no need for a tram to get to car or beach, unlimited access to pool and beach. A true paradise! !

Great Family Getaway

The property was really great and clean. I want to make sure everyone knows the washer and dryer are community type not private. This and the fact the Ac will only cool to 71 is the only reason this place isnt getting 5 stars.The washer and dryer was a little decieving but we survived and had a great trip.

Special vacation

Nice place. The elevator didn’t work most of the stay, but we were just on the second floor. There needs to be a ramp to the pool area to get to the beach as well for carts. Otherwise everything went well. The condo was nice for 2.

Perfect!

This condo was perfect! The location is perfect, the condo's furnishings were perfect, the pool was perfect, and the balcony was extra perfect! We drank coffee in the morning and wine at night while listening to the ocean and watching the waves roll in. Being this close to the ocean is truly good for the soul! I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying here again!

Lovely stay!

Beautiful beach front property! Amazing views. We appreciated every sunrise and an awesome lightening show from the balcony. The condo was peaceful, clean and well outfitted for our stay. Thank you for having a blender!! Sunrises AND Smoothies! Everything was as shown in the listing photos. I’m a beach gal but we also enjoyed the beautiful pool every day. We tried out two of the restaurants on the resort property and both had great food and friendly service. I had a question for the listing manager before we arrived and she responded quickly and was friendly and helpful. We really had a great time and are looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the resort.

Lots of space, great views of the ocean!

Everything was super clean. Great space to move around. Plenty of towels and dishes, and items to stay put and stay inside - or keep car parked and just walk to the beach, and eat at the place. It was a great getaway for my husband and I. Quiet inside and on the deck.

We have loved Amelia Island for years but this place takes the cake!! Great location. Easily accessible. Well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful views both from the living/kitchen area. The bed was extremely comfortable. The whole place was very cozy and felt like home. We were sad to leave!

Perfect Room with a View!

We thought our apartment in the Sandcastles Beach condo units of the Omni Plantation was perfect for our 4-day, 5-night get-away. We had a stunning view of the ocean, sunrises and long, gorgeous, unpopulated beaches. The beautiful grounds offer many walks, activities and services as well. In our unit, the kitchen was wonderfully stocked, living area comfy and cozy, and layout of the bedroom-bath area was ideal. Loved our balcony off the bedroom, and also accessible from living room. The pool hadn't yet opened during our stay, but looked inviting and we also liked that the Sandcastles are on the smaller size, compared to other condo buildings in the development. We would recommend and return!

Great place!

My husband and 5 yr old daughter really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cozy condo! Great location to the beach and pool. The unit is beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well equipped to cook our meals. The TV has Disney plus which our daughter throughly enjoyed. My only suggestions would be to add room darkening curtains in the living room for people sleeping on the pull out couch and to add ceiling fans. The unit does have two floor fans available for use. The property manager, Dana, is very responsive and very helpful. Great customer service! We had a great vacation!
