Shipwatch Villas is nestled within the stunning grounds of the Omni Amelia Island Resort.

Our condo offers a delightful retreat within this exclusive resort, where you'll discover over three miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches and meandering waterways awaiting exploration. Set amidst a serene forest of live oaks, you'll find endless opportunities for leisurely strolls and bike rides along the numerous scenic paths. Conveniently located within walking distance from our condo, the Omni Resort presents an array of shops and restaurants, along with a charming miniature golf course set amidst the majestic live oaks. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the diverse wildlife, from birds to turtles, crabs, and the occasional manatee sighting, all thriving in their natural habitat.

Our spacious second-floor condo is meticulously decorated to evoke the comforts of home while imbuing a sense of luxurious resort living. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, a generous walk-in closet, and an expansive master bathroom. The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed with a private bathroom, while the third bedroom boasts two queen-sized beds and its own bathroom. Positioned in the south corner of the Villas, our condo treats you to breathtaking ocean views from the living room, dining area, kitchen, breakfast nook, and the master bedroom. Overlooking a serene relaxation area and green space, our villa also provides access to a seasonally heated pool.

Equipped with televisions in each bedroom and the living room, our condo ensures entertainment for all. We provide plush towels and high-quality sheets for your utmost comfort.

Upon request, we can provide a Porta-Crib and high-chair for your convenience. Additionally, we strive to enhance your beach and pool experience by offering beach chairs, umbrellas, and various beach toys stored in our condo's storage closet.

Please note that while our complex features an elevator, there are still a few steps to access our condo door upon exiting the elevator, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues.

Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. I am readily available to address any needs you may have during your stay, ensuring prompt attention with the assistance of our dedicated cleaners, handymen, and contractors, all conveniently located on the island.

This premier condo offers an exceptional opportunity for a family getaway or special vacation, promising unforgettable ocean views and proximity to all resort activities.

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!

We enjoyed our stay so much! Three generations of family with plenty of room and a thoughtful layout to stay comfortably. We enjoyed the pool. The weather was very windy during our week but the beach was beautiful. Michelle was extremely responsive… even ordering us a cooler to use for the beach and pool that arrived the following day.

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.
