Ok but not great

It’s adequate. It is rated very high for what it is vs other vrbo’s where we have stayed. It’s been updated but the bones are old, would also rate well below average in cleanliness. Don’t rent with high expectations

Nice place

Very clean and great well equipped kitchen. Nice ocean view. Roomy master BR and second BR. The twin beds in the third BR could have been more comfortable and less noisy. Would’ve liked more light over the dining room table. Overall, a good place and the price was right. Would stay again.

Great time

We enjoyed our stay at the condo, it was very neat clean and comfortable. The beach was beautiful with access right at condo entrance. The town was a lot of fun with plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. We will be back hopefully when we are not running ahead of a hurricane :)

Amazing

This condo was spacious and very clean. The pool was so nice, the maintenance guy was amazing (my father in law lost his parking pass). They take great care of this place. A great location. Nothing to complain about at all. I recommend this place. Stayed here with my husband in laws, and our two young toddlers. Perfect

Best place to stay in Fernandina beach

Very nice, convenient, well maintained, place to stay. They respond very quickly to any issues and are super courteous and polite. We've been staying there around 10 years and we still keep coming back. It's not a hotel, don't expect daily maids or anything like that. That's not what they do. Great spot on the beach, private access with water spray off. I just love staying there

Happy as a clam in mud

We had a nice view of the ocean and beach. Nice size balcony. The kitchen was very workable. Easy elevator access with a little alcove that was helpful! You might want to bring a sleep mask, a lot of light came through the blinds and curtains in the queen size bedroom.
