About this property

Sandcastle Retreat - Hosted by Moore AI Rentals

  • Escape to this gorgeous oceanfront retreat located at the Sandcastles within the Omni Amelia Island Plantation. Upon entering the villa guests are greeted by an updated space that renders beautiful ocean views. The oversized windows pour natural light throughout the open floor plan and into the master suite.

    This space was decorated with sophisticated comfort in mind with a palette of blues. The main living area has a Smart TV with YouTube TV provided in and ample seating in the main living area with a pull-out sofa and three chairs. From here guests can access the private balcony to enjoy the sound of the ocean waves.

    The dining area comfortably fits four and the kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities including new cookware, a blender, a toaster, a coffee maker, a microwave…etc.
    The spacious master bedroom offers a King-size bed, flat screen TV, ocean views, and a connected bathroom with a shower/tub combo. This rental is perfect for a romantic getaway or a single-family vacation as you are just steps away from the beach and walking distance to the Omni Spa and Shops with many dining choices including the nationally renowned Bob's Steak & Chop House.

    Fresh linens, towels, and a starter kit of disposables are provided (travel-size shampoo/conditioner and body wash along with a limited number of laundry pods, dish pods, coffee, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, and one sponge.)

Perfect!

This condo was perfect! The location is perfect, the condo's furnishings were perfect, the pool was perfect, and the balcony was extra perfect! We drank coffee in the morning and wine at night while listening to the ocean and watching the waves roll in. Being this close to the ocean is truly good for the soul! I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying here again!

Lovely stay!

Beautiful beach front property! Amazing views. We appreciated every sunrise and an awesome lightening show from the balcony. The condo was peaceful, clean and well outfitted for our stay. Thank you for having a blender!! Sunrises AND Smoothies! Everything was as shown in the listing photos. I’m a beach gal but we also enjoyed the beautiful pool every day. We tried out two of the restaurants on the resort property and both had great food and friendly service. I had a question for the listing manager before we arrived and she responded quickly and was friendly and helpful. We really had a great time and are looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the resort.

Beautiful condo. Nicely furnished. Very quiet and perfect view of the ocean and swimming pool. AC worked well. Only complaint was the bed which had a thick topper on it making it too soft for us and seemed to sink on one side.

Another perfect visit to Amelia Islanf

This was our 3rd visit to the Omni Resort, Amelia Island and look forward to next year. The Moores know how to accomodate guests, from immediate attention given to our questions to the perfectly equipt condo, even beach chairs and umbrella as well as an adorable decorated space. Thanks Brett and Chasta

We fell in love with the view from the moment we stepped into this beautiful property. We were surrounded with cozy throws, comfortable furniture, oversized towels and a very comfortable bed. It is a very short walk to the pool, beach and our car. Unlike the Omni Hotel, there is no wristband, room key, no parking pass, no need for a tram to get to car or beach, unlimited access to pool and beach. A true paradise! !

Special vacation

Nice place. The elevator didn’t work most of the stay, but we were just on the second floor. There needs to be a ramp to the pool area to get to the beach as well for carts. Otherwise everything went well. The condo was nice for 2.

Great Family Getaway

The property was really great and clean. I want to make sure everyone knows the washer and dryer are community type not private. This and the fact the Ac will only cool to 71 is the only reason this place isnt getting 5 stars.The washer and dryer was a little decieving but we survived and had a great trip.

The property was amazing!! Our condo was decorated very nicely. The ocean view was beautiful! The location was perfect!! We will definitely recommend it to our friends!! Dana helped us. She was kind, helpful, understanding and super nice. When it was close to the time to come in June my husbands back was really bad. He could hardly walk. I told Dana I didn’t think we could come at that time. He needed surgery. She said we could come when he recovered. We are so grateful to her.!!!!!!

When we first arrived, we must have missed the cleaning person - the cleaning chemicals used were pretty strong - we had to air it out a little. But, we liked knowing it was clean! The whole place was beautiful and well maintained. Had everything we needed. My only thing - the mattress on the bed wasn't as comfortable as hoped. Super duper team - always polite and helpful. Great staff

Lots of space, great views of the ocean!

Everything was super clean. Great space to move around. Plenty of towels and dishes, and items to stay put and stay inside - or keep car parked and just walk to the beach, and eat at the place. It was a great getaway for my husband and I. Quiet inside and on the deck.

We have loved Amelia Island for years but this place takes the cake!! Great location. Easily accessible. Well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful views both from the living/kitchen area. The bed was extremely comfortable. The whole place was very cozy and felt like home. We were sad to leave!
