"Really clean, beds were perfect for me (others may say too hard), great amenities and the LOCATION was a two minute walk to the ocean. They had live music at the pool/hot tub area. It was a holiday weekend and they ran out of pool towels and parking. Based on price, location, and amenities we will be a returning customer."

"Breakfast is decent, beach is right there, staff is amazing, and rooms are clean. There is a cool coffee machine. A couple of ‘heads up’: - The sofa bed probably is not useable - and the staff is unsure where to get the linens for it; I’m thinking only couples stay here…? Anyway, don’t plan on sleeping on the sofa. They also do not have cots. - No fitness facility of any kind! - Pool is small and shared with another hotel. - Parking is extra - $15 per day. - Beach is public access, and beach chairs/umbrellas are $40 per day and you MUST reserve them 24 hours in advance."

"If you are visiting Amelia with your family this is the perfect beach house in its price point! We live here but rented this house when all our children came for a week! Rotated who slept here, but everyone enjoyed the house for the beach days and dinners and time by the fire pit! Perfect location on the north end! Perfect for the family pups! Perfect deck for everyone to gather and visit! Perfectly cleaned, perfectly stocked with everything we needed to have family dinners! We celebrated my grandsons 18th birthday and had a photo session on the beach! Shoutout to Kristie at Soulshine Photography!!! Check out her Facebook page, Our family photos were gorgeous,! Kristie was reasonably priced and great to work with! Did I say the house is in the perfect location on the island! It’s quiet, close to the fort and restaurants and the beach is beautiful, just a short walk over the dunes! The management company could not have been better to deal with. We had a tiny issue with the air. They came within minutes on the weekend to take care of it . And called the next day to be sure everything was fine!! I’ve stayed in a lot of air bbb’s over the years, and this house, location, beach, everything about it was perfect! Book it and come visit soon!!!"
