We rented the Jamesons Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach condo over Spring Break 2013 and had a wonderful stay. This completely renovated condo had all the amenities we needed. A Beautiful kitchen and updated vanities and tub/showers in both bathrooms, the condo also had hard wood floors through the hall and bedrooms. The antiques, artsy furniture and artwork gave the space a contemporary feel. The condo unit is closest to the beach and is only a five minute walk from door to beach sand...which I timed myself. Fernandina Beach has a fantastic downtown and main street with lots of shops and dining. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this condo to any of our friends.

My wife and I wanted to take our family on a relaxing vacation by the beach. Having visited Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach, years ago we decided to try it again. We're glad we did because we have found our new favorite vacation spot! It's only a block or so from the beach and it is in a quiet area, away from the roads. The best thing about this place is the inside! It is spotless and has been updated, it feels very trendy with wood floors and a gourmet kitchen - it's nicer than any hotel you could stay at - especially for the price. You can tell the owners take pride in it. There is plenty of space for a larger family with the 3 bedrooms, our kids each had their own room. As far as the beach, it's a quick walk and it's one of the best beaches we have been to. Quiet, not overcrowded, waves, lots of sand, it's perfect! The town is neat too, with local restaurants or all your chains only a few minutes away if you want. I would highly recommend this place, you won't regret it!!

The location of this condo makes it desirable for beach lovers! The decor is charming and the island is what you make it, be it a family vacation or romantic getaway! I feel in all fairness that I must mention "beware of the cleaning service" On the morning that we were scheduled to leave, we had an extensive "list" of chores compared to other rentals, that included wash and dry towels, load dishwasher and run it, wipe out sink etc. We did everything but change sheets! We left it in better condition than we found it! So imagine our surprise when the cleaning lady reported to the owner that she had to do extra cleaning and a fee was deducted from our deposit. The owner totally disregarded us, not exactly good customer service! The sliding glass doors leading out to the porch hadn't been cleaned nor were the bathroom mirrors. We had to scrup the chairs on the porch and sweep the debris before we could sit down and relax. The neighbors can verify this. The floors inside were sandy and the corners were covered in "dustbunnies". This is not acceptable. We read the reviews and wish we had been told to expect to clean when you get there and clean when you leave... I would have rather done that than "pay" for a cleaning service!

Owners response:
I spoke on the phone to this client a few hours after he checked in to make sure everything was fine. At that time he did not mention that the unit was not clean or unsatisfactory. If he had, we would have immediately had the cleaning service come out to remedy any issues.
It was only after he checked out, that we had to charge him $20 to compensate the cleaning company to stay late to wash the dishes and move the laundry along. This party failed to follow our simple check out instructions, which he received well before he checked in.
Summer is our high renting season and the weekend turnaround is tight. The cleaning service has to turn not just this unit but others, including a second ocean front property we own. We have clear and reasonable check-out instructions to follow so that our units can be maintained to the highest quality.
It is unfortunate that this client felt he was treated unfairly as we try to make sure all our clients feel satisfied with choosing our rentals.

Went to Rob and Beth condo for the past winter (December /April). Consider them to be friends now, just to show you what kind of people they are ;)
If we could live there all year round we would, saying that we highly recommend them would be an under statement !!!
Again Rob and Beth thanks for everything will never forget you’re kindness and the stay we add there, hopefully we will get back next winter :)…

Owners response: Michel and Nicole, thanks for such kind words. We feel we have also made new and long lasting friends. We look forward to having you back and hope to see you soon after your renovations. You need to cook and paint some more of the island.

Relaxing week at the Beach

I was completely in need of a Beach Vacation and this condo suited the bill to a tee. We spent our days on the beach with the kids learning to surf and us lounging and taking long walks. The condo is a very short walk to the beach and the accomodations were great, clean and comfortable. You can tell Rob and Beth have done a ton of work making this condo comfortable and stylish. The location is great and a quick trip to the grocery and liquor store for some late afternoon Margaritas. Great Restaurants nearby and the Pipeline surf shop is really cool. We will definitely be returning.

Wow, Rob and Beth really did it right. This condo is totally updated and the kitchen is nicer than my full time residence. They have everything we needed and all in great working order, and the decor was fresh, clean and modern. Everything promised was delivered and the owners were great to deal with and made the arrangement simple. The walk to the beach was much less than expected and our kids made the trek without a peep, the beach was away from all the large condo and hotel buildings so we prety much had the beach to ourselves. We love the shady live oaks all arround the complex,and the pool and buildings are well maintained; it really had that old Florida feel. Amelia Island was wonderful, Fort Clinch was a step back in time and downtown Fernandina Beach is so quaint. Shrimp Festival was a blast, the merchants are very friendly and we picked up som beautiful art for our collection. Such a nice change from the crowded tourist trap beaches of the panhandle and south Florida. We wouldn't think of going anywhere esle.

We enjoyed our stay in this condo and Amelia Island very much! The condo was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was also very nice as well. The community was very friendly. The condo is just a few blocks from the beach. There is a private path leading you to the beach. The beach was absolutely beautiful!
The owners were very helpful from booking, to giving us ideas on things to do and places to eat!
We went out to dinner just two times. First was to Sliders. The location is nice; right on the beach. The live entertainment, on the weekends, was enjoyable. We also dined at Barbara Jeans. We sat out on the patio, enjoyed the view and their delicious unique cuisine.
We are already looking into scheduling this same condo for next year! The condo truly felt like a home away from home! We highly recommend this condo and the area!
