The reef
We loved the location and decor ! Communication was good, other guests were friendly! The outdoor shower was lovely when coming back from the beach, it would be a big improvement for both properties to have access to the pool since they share a boardwalk. The binder was very helpful also, but could be upgraded since Area 51 is closed and Cantina Louie’s was overcrowded , but the service was decent! We enjoyed are staying at the reef and would come back to stay at duke’s beach house again.

Bright and Clean
Enjoyed our stay at the Reef. Unit was in a great location, very sunny and clean. I worked remote and the Wi-Fi was flawless. The communication from the owners was excellent. Only two minor issues: The bed was squeaky and the dehumidifier was a little loud at night for such a small space. That said, we would stay here again.

Great getaway on Amelia Island
The Reef was a great getaway over the holiday weekend. The unit is beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you need for your stay. The bottle of wine was an unexpected but appreciated surprise. There is some construction going on next door--it was quiet over the weekend but work resumed bright and early the next day. It looks like most of the exterior work is almost finished, so hopefully this will not be an issue for much longer. The unit worked really well for a couple--cute and cozy!

Very nice little apartment, perfect for 2 maybe 4 people. It’s not an ocean view location but its so close to the beach that it didn’t really matter! It’s a short drive to historic downtown and the beach was beautiful.

Short Getaway to Amelia
We had a great break at the beach after a busy 6 months. We enjoyed the facility overall, nice and clean and comfortable for just us two. I though and maybe incorrectly there was a patio with a view to relax on, little surprised the apartment was sort of tucked in the middle of the building. But it was good and we enjoyed the time Thanks Steve

Cute Rental, Great Location but unit is small
Cute Rental, Great Location but unit is small. We enjoyed our stay and the host was very helpful. The unit is updated and a great place to stay. My family of three plus my dad stayed and it suited our need perfectly. The only slight inconvenience is that the laundry is shared between 4 units and there is no dishwasher. 5 star rental and ownership.
