It was perfect! Plenty of space for my family of four. Comfortable and well stocked. Loved the first floor location and proximity to pool and beach. Being on the first floor did not inhibit ocean views at all. Can’t wait to stay again!

We love Amelia and really enjoyed our stay. Condo was nice and clean.

It was a pleasure dealing with Guest Cottage. My sisters and I took our traditional beach trip to Amelia Island. We rented a property managed by Guest Cottage..Once inside the rental we were amazed to find extra perks that went beyond our expectations. There were plentiful supplies from extra facial tissue, soap, body wash, and lotion to a welcoming basket of snacks. The unit was so clean and check in and check out was so easy. The folks at Guest Cottage were easy to contact and very responsive to any question that we had. I will search them out the next time we vacation in that area.

The condo was very nice. Only complaints would be inaccurate code instructions for entry door, sliding door to porch is not easy to open/close, the extra charges were not disclosed in the listing and the tv in the bedroom was not operating.

We had a nice stay in this unit. It was ideal on the first floor with easy access to the beach. It was located mid island, so getting downtown or to the south end was only a short 10 minute drive in either direction. Communication with the property management was very good and responsive. The unit did have two beach chairs and an umbrella, however the umbrella was broken and the chairs were very small and not really comfortable for spending the whole day on the beach. If you stay here you may want to rent these items if you want to stay on the beach all day. All in all, a great cute spot with a beautiful view!

Guest Cottage was the perfect retreat for a September beach getaway! Loved the first floor property that opened up to a grassy area and provided direct access to the beach and pool. The condo was tastefully furnished and very clean!

My husband and I literally sat on the beach for 4 days straight. The first floor access to the pool and boardwalk to beach was great. Didn't want to go home...

It was beautifully decorated, clean, love the location & ground floor. Very well accommodated & supplied well! Cozy & relaxing. However, the refrigerator broke during our first night & we didn’t know it. Our food in the freezer all defrosted. We called & they told us they had gases it up & thought it would last longer. They said they couldn’t get a new one until the next week. They brought us a huge cooler into put our food & regased the refrigerator again. It worked better, however this was inconvenient. If they were having trouble with the frig, I wished they would have made provisions to have a new one brought in before we arrived. Also, the gates from the beach access & street going into the pool are never locked, so we had a lot of people walking up from the beach & from the parking lot, to use our facilities we are paying for. A huge truck of teenagers came up into the parking lot, all going into the pool & I asked if they were staying here & they answered yes…with their Aunt upstairs. When I questioned them further & told them I could go find out…they left. I wish the property owners would use the locks to keep so many out that are not paying & would make it nicer for the ones that are paying.
Also, on the access from the beach, they turn off all the water on the dock, so when you are coming up from the beach, there is no place to wash off. You should always wash off before going inside, sand clogs drains & gets into the house…we didn’t have a vaccum either!

We rented this property for the first time this year ( it is our 8th year together for a beach week).
The property location was perfect. The place was clean and well organized! We stayed 8 nights and booked again for next year.
The property management team were great- responsive and very friendly! They made us feel welcomed.

Great Stay!!
We loved staying in Amelia South E1. It's been updated since our last visit and was very nice. The kitchen and unit had many extra items so there was nothing we needed that wasn't supplied. Beds were extremely comfortable and the location was perfect. The only suggestion we would have would be to possibly provide a few more towels/washcloths and a vacuum cleaner. Other than that is was perfect. We will definitely be booking again!

Nice place
Overall great location. Bathrooms and appliances and carpet could use updating. The door to patio is extremely hard to open especially from the outside, the handle is not big enough and the door very hard to slide. We did enjoy our stay. Probably would stay again. Thanks

The unit was nice and as described. Being on the ground floor was the best part. The pool was kept up and not crowded at all. I loved having my morning coffee on the porch listening to the waves. The only things I would mention is that the instructions said that there were parking passes which I did not see anywhere in the unit and 2 key fobs which there was only 1 available when we checked in. Only minor issues and nothing that would stop me from staying in this unit again. Thank you for having us!

The property was just as described and was perfect for the 5 of us with room for 1 more. While not heated, the pool was in full sun for most of the day and warm enough for my kids to enjoy it. Being steps from the pool and beach allowed quick access. The property was spotless. It had the equipment needed to make meals at home. Usually on trips I see other places I would like to stay, but I would book this place again for an return trip. Wonderful property and excellent communication!

Open floor plan and first floor location are ideal for people with mobility issues. Bed and furniture were comfortable. The view was awesome and the patio was an added bonus to have a cup of coffee on in the morning and even great for those early morning risers to see the sunrise. Probably the best equipped rental we have used. The kitchen included enough pots and pans, silverware, Keurig, blender, and mixer to name just a few. The refrigerator had an ice maker. Only drawback was electric range but that really is just a personal preference. Nothing wrong with it. There were games and even a puzzle. The pool was just walk out the back patio door and the beach was very close. Tiled floor in the main living area which helps to keep things clean. Just a few spots on the carpet in the bedrooms but certainly not anything alarming. Our only regret was that we could not stay longer as Amelia Island is a beautiful place and this unit was great
