Come experience the sweeping ocean vistas, refined interiors, and the relaxed luxury that make this condo one of Amelia Island’s most special stays.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

• Large, OPEN CONCEPT living and dining area with a new 55 inch Samsung smart HD TV on a full motion mount that enables adjusting to almost any angle and allows you to enjoy our xfinity channel package as well as the ability to log in directly to all of your personal streaming accounts. Living area opens to both oceanfront balconies!

• Gorgeous white kitchen with ALL NEW high end Stainless Steel Appliances including a wine cooler, NEW cabinets, NEW quartz counters and a large assortment of small appliances, kitchen utensils and cookware

• The two king bedroom suites have new hybrid mattresses and high end luxury sheets and bedding. Each has a desk with charging station and both open to private oceanfront balconies!

• Free (and generally very reliable) Wi-Fi High Speed broadband Xfinity Internet – no problem with video conferencing, zoom meetings, etc. Since we are on a barrier island, there are occasional outages, but Xfinity has been great about restoring service quickly.

• The mechanical room off of the hall near the laundry closet also contains beach gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella and tennis racquets.

• Fully equipped kitchen with most everything you need including both Keurig and regular drip coffee makers.

• The elevator that services our building is just outside our unit providing very easy access.

• There is a front door Arlo camera doorbell for security but no other camera inside the property.

The Surf and Racquet Club is a gorgeous, private, gated resort that is extremely well maintained. The resort offers DIRECT OCEAN ACCESS, 2 AMAZING POOLS and 4 HAR-TRU TENNIS COURTS that are meticulously maintained with a resident tennis pro. The lovely grounds and sweeping lawns are just steps away from the RITZ CARLTON via either the beach or a paved pathway draped by a live oak canopy.

Please note that this unit is set up for adults only... Although we love children (and have raised 2 ourselves!), there are NO child safety features in the condo, we have high end furnishings, high end original art, showers only and the 2 separate 6th floor balconies aren't child friendly, so we simply aren't comfortable hosting children. Thanks for understanding.

Unless a prior agreement has been made, the individual who books the property must also be the primary guest staying at the property. Prior approval is required for any booking in which the person making the reservation will not be the primary occupant of the unit.

If you wish to book for more than 2 weeks (which is set as our maximum), contact us for additional information. The location of this south end resort accessed from an idyllic tree canopied street just steps away from the Ritz Carlton can’t be beat! Miles of beachfront at the back of the complex and miles of pristine paved trails to the front with pools and tennis on the property and golf, restaurants and shopping all less than a mile away offer something for everyone! Parking is easy and free within the gated community.

We have a keyless entry system that makes checking in easy and we will be in touch before your visit with codes and other info for your visit.

We spent years visiting beach towns all up and down the east coast and on both coasts of Florida, but immediately fell in love with Amelia the first time we came here over 20 years ago! And the feeling has never changed! ________________________________________________ From the unbelievable, uncrowded beaches to the charming historic town and the old growth oak canopies all over the island, we’ve never found a place that offers so much or feels more like home. ____________________________________________________ In 2017 we decided to fulfill a dream and purchased a 1 bedroom condo in Amelia Surf and Racquet Club as an oceanfront retreat for ourselves as well as family and friends and our wonderful vacationing guests! We enjoyed it so much that we upsized to our current 2 bedroom unit in 2021 and did a major renovation that was completed in July 2021! There are more pictures and information on the VillaSoleilAmelia website… so check it out! We treat our guests just like we want to be treated. And, we are happy to assist with anything if we can!
