Nicest rental I’ve ever stayed in!

This place was SO CLEAN. They had plenty of toilet paper, dish cleaner, garbage bags, etc—little things that were nice not to have to think about. We rented bikes which was super fun. The beds were AMAZING. We plan to book it again for next year. The ELEVATOR was even clean (!!!) The porch was perfect. I don’t care what the listing says, we had an amazing view of the beach.

Good Location

Pros- Nice location on beach, Super clean in condo as well as outside pool area, boardwalk. Management very responsive and we would Definately book a different condo with Stay Better Vacations but not with this owner. Very pretty furnishings. Nice view and location to shopping and restaurants. Kitchen well stocked. Cons- No hot water in Kitchen so hard to wash and sanitize dishes, silverware or pans. Bathroom shower warm but not hot. Worst issue Ecobee temperature controlled by owner who only allowed 2 settings. So when hot during day we had to use 3 plug in fans to help. When a storm came through and temps dropped we had no control of thermostat. All the mattresses need replaced. Very hard and squeaked when you moved. For price with air condition issues by owner I would not book again especially when owner stated it should be run like a hotel and management of unit were not allowed to bypass code for us to control air flow. Maintenance had to come out twice due to temperature issues on 95 degree days. All vents were closed upon arrival as well.

Spring break 2022

This was our first trip to Amelia Island and we loved it! There was some construction going on upon our arrival but management addressed any concerns in a timely manner. Ketch Courtyard condo was beautiful and location was perfect! Would recommend SunSetters for beach chair rental as this is not included in condo. Quick and easy access to the beach from the condo is a real plus! Will definitely be back in the future.
