Fernandina Beach Villa w/ Remarkable Ocean Views!

Reviews

• Outstanding view

  5/5

  This was a very relaxing and beautiful stay! I didn’t have to wear shoes for three days, and went back and forth to beach and condo with direct path! The condo is clean and well stocked. I loved the Christian verses on the walls. We will definitely be back!

• Lots of plusses

  4/5

  Pros:>The condo has great views, and is one of the best stocked eating / cooking rentals we've ever stayed at. The owners obviously care about their renters' experience.>The balcony area is small but great. Our only issue was that the highs were low 80's, so it wasn't as comfortable sitting there for prolonged periods as we would have liked. In cooler weather, it would be a fantastic place to sit on the comfortable chairs, sip coffee (or adult beverages) and watch the ocean.>It was a short walk on a private boardwalk to the beach, and then we could walk for miles on packed sand without having to leave the beach. >All of the appliances have been upgraded; the full size washer/dryer is a plus.>The Evolve team was great for the one question we had, immediately answered the phone and stayed on until the issue was resolved. Cons: (none of these are dealbreakers, just setting expectations)>This is an older complex, and the stairs, etc, show its age.>The bathrooms also show their age a little; nothing wrong, just not up to the standards of the upgraded appliances.>The main living area is smaller than shown in the photos, and a lot of furniture is packed into the small space. It was totally fine for the 2 of us, but might be too tight for 2 couples for more than one night, even tho there are 2 full size bedrooms and 2 full baths.>As mentioned in other reviews, the couch is not very comfortable. There is a comfortable recliner, and a fairly comfortable armchair.Overall, we are glad we stayed there, loved being able to see the ocean and beach from all parts of the main room, master bedroom and the balcony, and very much appreciated the owner's and Evolve's attention to make the stay a success.

• Fabulous ocean view in a great location!

  5/5

  The condo is located in a great area along the ocean that is close to the cute Old Town Fernandina Beach. It was also convenient to a grocery store for us to get supplies. It’s a corner unit located on the top floor with a spectacular 180 degree view of the beach and ocean. We spent every morning enjoying coffee on the outside porch watching the sun come up and dolphins swim by. The place is comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and a cozy little living room. It was a comfortable place to come home to at night after a fun day of activities.

  The only suggestion I would make, and I say it with love, is the couch needs to be replaced with a comfy pull out couch. The one there was not comfortable to sit on and it would only be acceptable for children to sleep on. That change would make that condo a fabulous place to stay. I read that the owner responded to a former visitor’s comment about the couch that it provided needed storage. I would suggest to put plastic bends under the beds and get a couch that was comfortable and could provide additional sleeping spaces for adults. We enjoyed our stay and would go back to this condo if we return to this area.
