Our story

A move that changed everything.

Vacations Amelia started the same way a lot of good island stories do — with a decision we knew would change everything.

We relocated to Amelia Island in 2021 and quickly fell in love with the community, the pace, and the pride people take in this place. Before long, we launched a local cleaning company to serve short-term rentals, working behind the scenes in dozens of homes and condos across the island.

That experience gave us a front-row seat to what truly separates an average stay from a five-star one. As owners and guests alike began asking for more hands-on support, Vacations Amelia naturally evolved into full-service short-term rental management.

Today, we combine our backgrounds in hospitality and real estate with an uncompromising standard for cleanliness and proactive communication. We don't believe five-star experiences happen by accident — they're built through attention to detail, responsive service, and treating every home like it's our own.

Our goal is simple: deliver exceptional stays for guests and peace of mind for owners, every single time.

What Makes Us Different

01

Attention to detail

Cleaning-company roots mean we notice the things others miss — and fix them before a guest ever would.

02

Responsive service

Proactive, human communication — for guests mid-stay and for owners who want to actually reach someone.

03

Treat it like ours

Every home gets the care we'd give our own — because reputation is the only thing that compounds.

Come stay with us.

Or hand us the keys — we'd love to care for your home too.
