About this property

Beachfront Bliss with spectacular views


Shipwatch Villas is nestled within the stunning grounds of the Omni Amelia Island Resort.

Our condo offers a delightful retreat within this exclusive resort, where you'll discover over three miles of pristine, uncrowded beaches and meandering waterways awaiting exploration. Set amidst a serene forest of live oaks, you'll find endless opportunities for leisurely strolls and bike rides along the numerous scenic paths. Conveniently located within walking distance from our condo, the Omni Resort presents an array of shops and restaurants, along with a charming miniature golf course set amidst the majestic live oaks. Nature enthusiasts will delight in the diverse wildlife, from birds to turtles, crabs, and the occasional manatee sighting, all thriving in their natural habitat.

Our spacious second-floor condo is meticulously decorated to evoke the comforts of home while imbuing a sense of luxurious resort living. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, a generous walk-in closet, and an expansive master bathroom. The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed with a private bathroom, while the third bedroom boasts two queen-sized beds and its own bathroom. Positioned in the south corner of the Villas, our condo treats you to breathtaking ocean views from the living room, dining area, kitchen, breakfast nook, and the master bedroom. Overlooking a serene relaxation area and green space, our villa also provides access to a seasonally heated pool.

Equipped with televisions in each bedroom and the living room, our condo ensures entertainment for all. We provide plush towels and high-quality sheets for your utmost comfort. The fully stocked kitchen includes a Keurig single cup coffee maker, a standard drip coffee pot, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Upon request, we can provide a Porta-Crib and high-chair for your convenience. Additionally, we strive to enhance your beach and pool experience by offering beach chairs, umbrellas, and various beach toys stored in our condo's storage closet.

Please note that while our complex features an elevator, there are still a few steps to access our condo door upon exiting the elevator, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues.

Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. I am readily available to address any needs you may have during your stay, ensuring prompt attention with the assistance of our dedicated cleaners, handymen, and contractors, all conveniently located on the island.

This premier condo offers an exceptional opportunity for a family getaway or special vacation, promising unforgettable ocean views and proximity to all resort activities. Ranked among the top three islands in the Continental US by Travel and Leisure 2021, Amelia Island guarantees a memorable vacation experience. We highly recommend travelers insurance for added peace of mind.

While this property is not a rental through Omni Amelia Island Resort, guests still have access to the resort's walking and biking trails, spa, nature center, putt-putt, and more. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy various courses in the Amelia Area, including Oak Marsh located on the grounds of the Omni Resort. Bike and golf cart rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that this rental does not grant access to certain resort privileges or amenities like the main hotel pool and fitness center, and Racquet Park is exclusively open to club members and their guests.

Rest assured, our layout adheres to all social distancing guidelines. With outdoor front door entrances and open-air stairwells, there are no enclosed common areas to worry about amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Amelia Island's private beaches ensure minimal crowding, while our rigorous cleaning protocols, following CDC guidelines and Nassau County's protocol, prioritize cleanliness, elegance, and comfort throughout your stay.

Great location

The unit is very well equipped and very clean. It is close to the beach with great views and easy access to everything. It is a 20 minute easy drive to town but that was fine as it is the quiet end of the island. We would definitely go back. Michele and the owners were very responsive to the one small issue we had.

Great Stay at Shipwatch

The condo was excellent, clean, and comfortable, just as advertised. Our hosts were also timely in their communication and everything was a breeze. The unit was steps to the pool and a few more steps to the beach. We had two toddlers in our family, so the convenience factor was a major plus. The unit has plenty of space and all everything within worked perfectly. We would definitely book again.

Great Family Trip

Wonderful family vacation in a beautiful condo! Everything you need for a wonderful week at the beach! Communication was super- hostess was quick to response to any question/needs. Plenty of room for our whole family-we enjoyed watching the sunrise from the patio in the mornings and then playing cards at night at the table which fit our whole crew. My grandchildren and children are ready to go back-this was one of our favorite places to stay on Amelia Island so far!

Fantastic Week at the Resort Condo

This condo was the best place we've stayed at in Amelia Island. From the beds to the kitchen and the bathrooms, everything was really comfortable and updated. They had plenty of really fluffy bath towels along with really nice beach towels. The condo was outfitted with plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. Even the bath tissues were really soft!:o) This place was amazing!!

Family friendly stay

Our family of 6 with ages ranging from 10 to 80 stayed here for a week in October. This was a wonderful time of the year to stay as we had the pool and beach nearly to ourselves. The condo is a short walk from the pool and beach. There were adequate beach towels and beach chairs. Kitchen is large and stocked with plentiful dishes, glasses, pots and pans, etc. The property has nice walking trails and is very pretty for morning walks. There are great restaurants close by and in downtown Fernandina Beach. Although there is an elevator, it stops at a 1/2 floor level, so you do need to walk up 6-8 steps unto reach the level of the condo. This wasn’t an issue for us, but could be for someone with mobility issues.

Absolutely ideal

Beautiful condo with all the amenities, great view, easy access to well kept pool and beach. I can’t think of a better, more relaxing place for our quick getaway weekend. We were there for the beach but it was an easy ride over to Fernandina Beach to enjoy the picturesque town center and eat some absolutely delicious food! We plan to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Sheintal

Host profile image
My name is Michelle Sheintal and my friends the McGinelys own this condo. As our guest, you are a priority to me, and I am 'on call' to help you with anything you need during your stay ~ including any problems that could arise or to assist in guidance for fun activities and restaurant suggestions. My cleaners and handy men live nearby and can easily address any issues that need their attention during your stay. I am just a call or text away!

Why they chose this property

We have spared no details or expense to make sure you are comfortable during your vacation. Our number one goal is to have you return for future vacations. Our condo, which has been FULLY renovated has 'high-quality, name-brand' furniture & mattresses, linens, small kitchen appliances, towels, dishes, cookware, etc. We have created an environment within the condo that will hopefully tempt you to go ahead and book your next vacation with us ~ while still at our condo! The amenities at Shipwatch are superior to any condo I've stayed at in Amelia. The pool is over-sized and has a great deck area (including an area with covered tables).

What makes this property unique

You will receive a 'Welcome Packet' (via email) before your arrival that will provide you with all of the information you need (for a smooth check-in, and additional details to enhance your stay). Our Packet also includes restaurant suggestions, info on fun activities located on or near the Resort (ie bike rentals, golf cart rentals etc.), golf course suggestions, door codes, WiFi instructions, and so much more that will be a great reference for you during your vacation.
