Your home is lovely; it is everything you promised it to be, and more. The sunrises are spectacular - the view, the best here on Amelia Island. We enjoyed some awesome food at the Beech Street Grill and Brett Waterfront Cafe. The music and laid back atmosphere at DownUnder was fun. What a joy for us to share some time here at the beginning of the week with our beautiful granddaughter. We will always have great memories of them playing in the sand and all the seashells we collected. Our son and daughter in-law enjoyed their lovely guest suite.

After much deliberation we decided to make Amelia Island the site for our honeymoon, and we couldn’t be happier with the decision. We loved waking up to the sounds of the beach and the beautiful views from the condo. We had massages the Plantation. We went horse back riding on the beach with Kelly’s Seahorse Ranch. We went on an amazing day trip with Kayak of Amelia. Our favorite restaurant was Luigi’s Italian Trattoria in Fernandina Beach. We had a blast and can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful condo. The weather was perfect and we so enjoyed the beach. Loved the “Gourmet, Gourmet” and “Down Under” restaurants, especially the shrimp. Also loved the tile work and marble in the condo, lots of thought went into planning. Looking forward to returning soon.

The Simpson Family from Washington, Michigan enjoyed their stay immensely! We had a great time playing tennis, golfing and laying around the pool. The beach can do wonders to your spirit!! Despite the first few days of cold weather, things turned around to make it another wonderful trip to Amelia Island. Thank you for the use of your beautiful place, it had everything we needed!

We had a marvelous time in Amelia and your home was a perfect retreat. The weather was spectacular and we were treated to a wonderful fireworks display (wedding at the Ritz) on our last night. Deah was great to work with and the overall experience exceeded our expectations! Thanks again.

We have truly enjoyed our stay in your condo. The view is awesome! The weather was just right. We enjoyed long walks on the beach. The wedding we attended at Amelia Island Plantation was beautiful. Thanks again for sharing your home away from home with us. The only thing missing in the condo is a TV in each bedroom.

WOW, what a view! We loved watching the sunrise in the mornings from our beds. We came for a week of R&R and we got it. The weather was beautiful and the beach a paradise. Your condo was exceptional and every touch thought of.

Wow, what a view - loved staying here! Our favorite restaurant was Joe's 2nd St. Bistro - highly recommend it! The horseback riding on the beach was another highlight of our stay. Desserts of Amelia was a fun event on Friday night to benefit the middle school. We take many pleasant memories with us from Amelia.

We very much enjoyed our stay here to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Our favorite memory is breakfast on the balcony in the morning and gazing at the stars in the evening.

Thank you for sharing your home. This was our first visit to Amelia Island and we had a very relaxing time. The view from the condo was fantastic! We enjoyed shopping in town and dinner at the Ritz. The condo lived up to the pictures and description on the web.

This was our first trip to Amelia Island and we had a wonderful time! The weather was great while we relaxed on the beach. This was also our son's (16 months) first trip to the beach and he loved it. He also enjoyed the kiddie pool. The condo surpassed all of our expectations and we would recommend it to anyone. The owner was also great to work with and she made sure we had everything we needed. Our time here has flown by and we look forward to visiting again so that we can experience the awesome views of the ocean, as well as the hospitality from all the local folks. Thanks again for sharing your home with us!

We had a wonderful week! So very relaxing. Just what we needed. The views are extraordinary! We enjoyed searching the dunes for the turtles and rabbits as we walked to the beach.
Thank you for opening your lovely home to us!

Beautiful condo with incredible views. Enjoyed the sound of the surf from the balconies. Thank you for sharing your condo with us.

A great place to celebrate our love and relationship after 38 years of marriage! It was wonderful place to decompress from pressure of the outside world. We relaxed and enjoyed the quiet beaches. Awesome surf – spotted dolphins and observed a whale sprouting his spray in the ocean right before our eyes. Turtles were nesting in the dunes along the walk in front of the beach while rabbits were playing in the dunes in front of the condo! Found other guests and locals to be very friendly and helpful! Condo is very clean and beautiful! Highly recommend it!! Shops at Plantation are cute and fun. Had a wonderful meal at Embers Restaurant on Ash St. in the historic district, She Crab Soup is to-die-for and Havana – Banana (like Banana’s Foster) just delish! Baxter’s restaurant was a disappointment. Thanks for sharing your beautiful condo! We will take many pleasant memories back to Missouri with us. The view from the 7th floor made even better by your thoughtfulness in providing binoculars! P.S. Forgot – We really enjoyed visiting a very old, quaint cemetery behind St. Michael’s Catholic Church in the Historic District. If you like history, take a few minutes and wander among the headstones + read + reflect. The historic district has some really fun shops – loved Go Fish and the Pineapple Shop’s fun, inexpensive sandals. Hope to come back someday :-)

We had a fabulous time. Arrived on a cold and windy day and leaving the same way. However, the days in between were great. Laid on the beach, collected shells and sharks' teeth, and visited many places around the island. We celebrated our 25th anniversary in this great place. One that we will always remember. Thanks so much for allowing us to share this wonderful place.

Delightful! Delightful! Delightful! Thanks for sharing your home-away-from-home with us. The relaxed atmosphere of the island was a joy for us - a more than welcome respite from the busy, blustery suburbs of Chicago. Hope to be back.

What a wonderful condo! We have been in awe of the views! The first time we came to Amelia we got engaged, and promised ourselves we would never go back so the memory would be preserved. But we loved it so much here we couldn’t resist. This time we brought our son. It’s been such a joy to see him discover the ocean. I expect we will be back many times, and we would look forward to returning to the condo. It has been a total pleasure. Thank you for all your hospitality! We had a wonderful time staying at your condo! We really appreciated how much thought you put into making that a great place to vacation. We hope we’ll have a chance to visit again.

Our week passed by so quickly! From soaking up the sun, splashing in the pool and looking through all the shells on the beach (for those "special ones"); we enjoyed our stay. The upgrades and decor of the condo are very nice, convenient and comfortable. We enjoyed the balconies and view from the leather sofas in the living room. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!

Love the place!!!! We are having a wonderful time. Absolutely love the decor. It is very family friendly!!! The kitchen cabinets are really nice and all of the tile work is beautiful. Thank you so much and hopefully we can rent again. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your condo for the weekend! The view of the ocean is BEAUTIFUL! We had a relaxing and restful weekend. Your condo is incredibly beautiful! Hopefully we will be back soon. God Bless. Thanks Again!

Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful home! We had a very short visit but we will be back! We enjoyed a wonderful evening on the beach where I found my very first (of many) shark's tooth! We also visited Historic Downtown Fernandina which was wonderful. The carriage rides were a really great way to explore the town’s history! There is so much that we did not get to do that is a must for us to come back! Your activities binder was a great help! Thank you again for sharing your lovely home with its spectacular view!

Great condo - one of the nicest we've rented on vacations.
Lucked out on the weather too. Snuck in between Ophelia & Wilma and enjoyed 80+ degree days. Lots of great restaurants - Crab Trap and Downunder offered local atmosphere and great prices. Enjoyed lolling on the very quiet beach and relaxing on the balconies with a cocktail or two. Great views, top-notch accommodations and relaxing ocean sounds filled our week. What more could a vacation offer? Will take our memories of Amelia Island with us, back to the blustery Northeast - which will hopefully last through the winter, till we return again. Thank you Amelia Island.

What a wonderful place to stay! Your condo is gorgeous with beautiful views and the amenities are fabulous. Loved the Jacuzzi and all the state of the art appliances. We made waffles for breakfast a couple of times. Very nice that you provide beach chairs and umbrellas, etc. Also thank you for having a pack-n-play for our daughter. Loved Joe's 2nd Street Bistro, excellent dinner. Also Full Moon pizza was really good. Yoga on the beach was great and getting a Spa treatment at the Plantation was definitely worth it. Also nice walking trail in front of the property to get to the Ritz, easier with a baby carriage then carrying her on the beach. The shops at Palmetto were great, located right past Harris Teeter going to the Plantation. Really cute stuff in the shops. Thanks again for a fabulous place to stay.

Thanks for another great Fall break trip to Amelia Island. We loved our week here so much last year with my husband, daughter and his parents that we all came back again and brought my parents too. Even though tropical storm Tammy took a couple of sunshine days from us we still had a great family vacation. Thanks Again!

Thanks for the wonderful villa. It was a joy to watch the dolphin parade each morning. We even found a sharks tooth. A must for restaurants: Brett's and Baxter's. Of course, for your sweet tooth is Gourmet Gourmet. You need to try Larry's Subs on 14th - best ever!! Be sure and visit the Historic District. The Books Plus bookstore is charming. If you seek pampering visit the full body salon called Magna's on Center St. in the Historic District. We had a wonderful 35th anniversary and thanks for the special touch.

We had a great time here at Amelia Island. The villa is just as beautiful as the view! We had wonderful weather. The Jacksonville Zoo is a great day trip, as is the Museum of Science and History. We did the 2 hour river cruise to Cumberland Island which was very interesting. Yoga on the beach is a must - it just adds to the serenity of the beach. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Our family comes to the Island every year, and it serves as a brief space of quiet in five hectic lives. For two years we have been able to indulge in this place, and it has made ALL the difference. We stay in some nights and get to enjoy a "home - away - from - home." It is always so beautiful, clean and welcoming. Thank you for sharing it!

We had a most relaxing vacation. The beach, the view, the fireworks, the overall calm. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her prenatal massage at the Ritz. We tried several restaurants. We can't say enough about PLAE it compares to some of the great restaurants in the DC area. Again thank you for sharing your home.

Our week at Amelia Island was great! The condo is very comfortable and it is the perfect size for our family of three and my mother and father in law who spent the week with us. Our one year old daughter lived in the baby pool all week long. The view is beautiful and the activity binder was very helpful. We have made many special memories here. We would love to visit again!

Thank you very much! Your villa is most excellent. We were in town for a wedding. We saw lots of family, had lots of great food, lots of crazy weather, went to St. Augustine and overall had a wonderful time. I love your floor. The tile is excellent and I want to put that in my house out in California. I was here with my mother and sister and my two sons. I would love to come back. Thanks again - Steve. Great Place. We enjoyed our stay in your home and on the island - Helen.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We had a wonderful time and plan to return.

We celebrated our 15th year wedding anniversary at Amelia Island. Your villa has spectacular views and the amenities are awesome. We enjoyed our weeklong stay and will be back to visit soon. The activity binder was a nice touch. We played golf at the Fernandina Golf Club and later discovered Royal Amelia Golf. Fort Clinch state park is a must! Diner at PLAE in Amelia Plantation is superb! Most of all, we enjoyed staying at the villa with the great view, beach and pool. Thanks for making this such a great place to stay.

The Nagel family salutes the Captain and crew of this penthouse. Our voyage found calm seas, gentle breezes and sun filled days. The night time electrical show, thunder storms, were enjoyed from the front row seats of your spectacular window view of the sea. Our one day trip to Universal studios was well worth the effort. All guests are encouraged to make the trip. Visitors are also encouraged to take the Budweiser beer factory tour as well. Farewell crew, this Bud's for you.

A wonderful time was had by all. The morning sunrises will surely be missed. Your place was perfect for two couples who make a habit of vacationing together. A future trip to Amelia Island would most certainly include a return to your penthouse.

We have had a wonderful week. The view is extraordinary and tends to make you ponder about the deeper things in life. It's been a time of fun to shop and eat (my favorite were Gourmet, Gourmet and Brett's). It's also been a time to settle in with mom, sister and niece (they came because they were afraid we were having too much fun without them!). It’s been a time to remember why we enjoy being with those who accept us for exactly what we are - a time to reflect on the shortness of life and the fact that we so seldom connect in a meaningful way. This week will have many joyful and poignant memories for us in the coming year. Thanks for making such a lovely retreat.

We had a GREAT time on Amelia Island. Your home certainly lived up to its description on the web!! We had several days of 80+ weather, and a few cool days to let our sunburns heal. The view is spectacular and we were lucky enough to find a shark's tooth on the beach. Thanks so much!

Fishers had a great time on Amelia Island. The view is spectacular! The sound of the ocean waves, the sight of the dolphins and the seashell hunting were just some of the highlights. We also visited downtown historic Fernandina, St. Augustine Lighthouse, Alligator Farm, and the beautiful Cumberland Island. Thank you for allowing us to be here and to Raelene who was most helpful.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful beach home with us this week. The weather was perfect, the sand beautiful, and the condo was so very warm and relaxing. We've had great memories of this week that will live on forever in our hearts. I think the neatest memory is watching our boys 12 and 10 look at the submarine pictures and models and fantasize what life must be like as a commander and his family. We also enjoyed the many technological amenities and their uses. Viewing the fireworks that the Ritz put on from your penthouse was spectacular. Your vacation guide notebook was most helpful and inspiring. If I continue writing, I would take up the whole journal. Thanks again! We loved our vacation here.

We have absolutely loved our stay here. The view is spectacular and the penthouse is beautiful. We have had a truly relaxing vacation. Watching my nine year old son with his skin board and boogie board has been a real joy. He is also a wild wave runner driver - we rented them next door at the Ritz. We had a wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful 10 days in Amelia. The weather was perfect - our family reunion of 80 people was a great time to remember. This is our annual reunion: part of the fun is comparing the condos - We Won!! What a great place you have. We look forward to coming back next year. Thanks for all of your wonderful amenities. You are right - it's our home away from home. I returned with my son yesterday from Amelia and we absolutely love your unit. My wife and daughters are still enjoying the beach thru Saturday and I wanted to touch base with you regarding next summer. We will definitely plan on coming back to Amelia and want to stay in your unit again if available. Thanks again, I could live there. Much Appreciation!

Thank you for making this such a special place to come to. We enjoyed all your special touches and we can feel all the hard work you put into this home for all of us. We look forward to sharing this special place with you for many summers to come. Thank you again from all of us. It is even more than you said - just wonderful - THANK YOU! Can you put us down for 10 days next summer if it is still open for rent? Raelene was just super. Thanks for helping us have a great vacation. USMA '75 Go Army!

I rented this property about a year ago and I would like to rent again coming up in November. I have been trying to find the property listing on the internet but this guestbook is all I could find. Is the property still being rented out and if so where can I find it on the web or whom do I contact about possibly renting for a week in November. Please HELP!!! Thank you.

This villa is what you are looking for. We had a wonderful time in this villa and has more comforts than you can dream of. The view of the dolphin parade each morning and the horses along the beach (even a horse drawn carriage along the beach awaits you). If you are looking for a great villa, look no further. The owner was wonderful to work with, along with her property manager. You will certainly be pampered. ENJOY!
