Excellent property!

We were only on Amelia Island for two nights, but this is an excellent facility. Third floor, with a nice balcony overlooking the Atlantic, it would be hard to do better than this. The property is not new, but very well maintained and furnished. Lots of things to do on Amelia and would recommend a longer stay.

Perfect for Relaxing Long Weekend

We were thrilled with our stay here over Labor Day weekend! The complex was quiet, the unit was adorably decorated & cozy with such thoughtful amenities. We mostly enjoyed the stunning sunrises & ocean view from the balcony and relaxing on the beautiful & sparsely populated beach (even on a holiday weekend!). We are looking forward to returning.

All good till the elevator quit working!

The day before check out the elevator quit working and we were up four flights! Not ideal for dragging a weeks worth of luggage, beach chairs and coolers etc… The unit was lovely but there were only 1 set of towels. Also… there was only laundromat -washer/dryer for the entire building! (Also on lower floor! Sooo… also not ideal! Otherwise a nice place to visit

Serene getaway

This was the relaxed, beautiful setting that we had hoped for. Our balcony offered a excellent view of the ocean. We enjoyed our barefoot walks along the beach, which was a short distance down the walkway. Would love to come back.

The Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay! The unit was as described and was even better than we expected. Not only was it clean and well appointed, it was the perfect place to getaway as a couple. The deck was our favorite place to hang out (100% ocean view) and we really appreciated the beach chairs and towels. The pool was lovely, the parking was plentiful and the beach was beautiful. We will definitely return again and specifically to this condo.

Deceptive photos

Property clean, well maintained and nicely furnished and amenities. However, online photos deceiving as to how small the space really is. Kitchen is extremely small with only enough room for one person at a time. Pictures showed a pantry by entrance into the unit but when we arrived with bags and bags of items the pantry was marked as “owner closet” and locked so there was absolutely NO space -NONE - provided to store groceries - not even an empty cabinet. Also renters are not allowed to use the garage disposal - really- why even have one? Tried several times the first couple of days to call property management with some questions only to receive a “not available” response EVERY time. We really wanted to like this property but it is just way too small for our needs plus non-responsive management. Being former residents of Amelia Island we visit several times a year and occasionally like to try different properties but after this will stick with other properties that we’re more familiar with for our rental needs through VACASA. Unit itself nice but wasn’t at all impressed with Sandcastles as a whole. Only property we’ve rented that didn’t provide in unit laundry and having to use public community laundry facilities is a whole other story.

A week on the beach

We had a wonderful time. We saw gopher tortoises just about every day. We even saw the Beach Turtle patrol help two Loggerheads make it from their nest to the ocean. The condo was very tastefully decorated and had all the amenities. The property manager was very responsive to a suggestion we made for an improvement of the experience in the future. We highly recommend this condo.

Quiet stay on the beach

Property was comfortable and peaceful. Loved spending time on the beach during the day and hearing the ocean at night. We needed to get away from home for a few days at Halloween this year (but not too far) and this suited our needs, though a bit out of our budget.

We enjoyed our stay at this cute condo. It is nicely decorated and very clean. It was so quiet and relaxing to just sit on the balcony and have the best view. We only had one issue with Television, we had to get help to watch Georgia game but guy came by and was very nice and helped us. (I wish I could remember his name) We will return soon!!
