    There are many rental options through this bussiness. We spent three nights in The Captain's House…read moreon the 3rd floor, unit A3. The unit is shotgun style, and as you walk in the door after taking several flights of stairs you walk down the long hall. On your left is the master bedroom with a private bath. Next is the second bathroom and then the utilities. We got use from the washer and dryer. Next the unit opens into the dining room where the table and rather heavy wood and metal chairs take up most of the space. To the left is the second bedroom and then the kitchen. The furniture in the front living room was comfortable. Ocean view decks are only divided by a wooden railing and the distance of the stairs that led downstairs to the boardwalk out to the beach. If you've got noisy neighbors you'll hear them on the deck. There is free WiFi in the unit, but it's slow. We have Verizon wireless and frequently had irregular and slow service depending on where we stood, time of day and maybe even the alignment of the planets, I don't know. I got use out of the TV in the master bedroom in the evenings when the rest of our small group of four were in the main room watching something else. The curtains in the master bedroom are very sheer and do little to nothing to block out sunlight or keep prying eyes from looking up from the street level if the lights are on inside. We ran out of toilet paper on our second day and there was none to be found in the unit. On our last morning, the plastic toilet arm in the master bath broke. Plastic, really? We lucked out and there was enough laundry soap to do two small loads, but that was it. In the master bedroom we thought that the a/c was rather noisy, but we were tired enough to not let it bother us. Kitchen was adequate but there was little else. Bring your own oil, seasonings.... $200+/night in mid May. Unit is a long 2+ miles from the downtown area so a car is useful. There is a mini mart/gas station several blocks north as well as a park.

    DON'T RENT FROM AMELIA ISLAND VACATIONS!!!!…read more Every review said it and we didn't listen. Please listen and don't rent from the Dunlops or anything they touch, including Elizabeth Pointe Lodge. Misrepresenting the properties they are renting - check. A cheap hotel is better maintained at a fraction of the price - see pictures. Unresponsive when issues arise - check. Their manager pulled over to text us but could not call us, neither have the Dunlops to date despite multiple attempts. Their employees are leaving them - check. We were told that 2 cleaning people left in the last week and the service person was shocked at the maintenance of our unit. The properties they rent are not safe - check. Our unit had one functioning smoke detector from 2005, exposed wires in the shower, unsecured shower doors and other safety issues. If you don't care about safety, the Dunlops and AIV have you covered! Overall, this is not how to run a business but how to take advantage of people who are on vacation. There are plenty of reputable rental and management companies on Amelia Island and Amelia Island Vacations is not one of them. Do your homework before you put your money, trust and safety in a rental. If I were to do it again on Amelia Island, I would stay away from this group. We wish we would have listened to the reviews as we really loved the area...

    Our unit was a little dated (Down by the Sea) so you cannot expect the quality of the units to be…read morethe same across the board, but some things are universal to the location. I'll start with the unit itself: a bit dated/worn in the kitchen & bathrooms---well-stocked kitchen but with older coffee maker and skimpy soap supply for dishes and laundry, wonderful location (we were oceanfront with a very short walk to the boardwalk and pool, everything you need for a week (or longer stay)...tv is also a bit dated and two lights were actually broken when we arrived...I'm sure they'd have fixed it if we'd asked them to come but I didn't want maintenance people in there while we were there so we just texted to notify. I didn't have five-star expectations so I wasn't upset but definitely recognize this is a budget accommodation that is beach front. The pool is large and clean and wonderful. There are stores pretty close by but I'd say you definitely need a car unless you're up for a long bike ride. We were happy here and would come back but it would help if the owner would spruce things up a bit...seriously, not a lot....just a little. The ocean view from our balcony and bedroom made it worth it. Plus there's ample parking and we always felt safe.

    Our unit, Forever Home - 100, was awesome! Beautifully updated with all the amenities needed! I…read morehad read some past reviews, new owners took over in 2021 and are doing a great job caring for the units. Monty was very personable and quick to answer any questions about local area. For sure coming back!
