Despite the close proximity to the lovely beach, our 2 week stay turned sour before we even left! The day before our travel Mock's Amelia Vacations (Prop Mgr) texted to say the HOA had contracted to have work done on the balcony and it would be blocked with no access. They said work would not be on our unit specifically, but would be done in the area. We asked if we could be moved to another unit and they said none were available. They offered a 20% discount or full refund. With multiple things in the works, including airline tickets, we couldn't cancel, so we opted for the discount. What a mistake. When we arrived on Sat. the patio door (the only natural light in the main area) was covered in thick plastic wrap. Every day in the unit was like a cloudy day in IL. I called the PM and left a msg to see if we could get the plastic removed. They did not return my call. On Monday morning the hammering and cement grinding started at 8:30 am and continued every day for 2 weeks, unless it rained. Sometimes they were on our patio, other times in nearby units but the noise level was unbearable. We made it very clear when we inquired about the high-speed internet that we would be WORKING from the unit. It was IMPOSSIBLE to be on calls with the construction noise - we even had to take some calls in the bathroom to get away from the noise - ridiculous. Mock's Amelia Vacations would not speak to me on the phone after calling twice (completely unprofessional) but got into an email spat with me instead, which culminated in them saying "feel free to leave anytime and we'll refund you". Really?? Where else were we going to go during spring break with no notice?? As work was being done on the 3 buildings around the pool, it was very unpleasant to be in the pool area. The unit itself was well stocked and furnished nicely. The master shower did not drain well (as evidenced by the many bottles of Drano in closet this was a known issue). The drain started to smell after a few days and by the end of 2 weeks it smelled awful on the 2nd floor. Needless to say we would never rent another property managed by Mock's Amelia Vacations. Amelia Island was beautiful but obviously our experience there was tainted by jackhammers, no view, and poor property management service.
