For your first time entering the complex, you will use the call box at the front entrance of Amelia Surf & Racquet Club (ASRC). At the condo, you will use your provided code to enter the front door. Inside, you will find an entry key that will allow access to the front gate (there is a key box next to the call box you used!) The entry key also unlocks the pool bathrooms and tennis courts.
There are no reserved spots; park anywhere you’d like!
Cable service is through Comcast/Xfinity. Both TVs in our condo have cable and corresponding remotes. You can stream Netflix, Amazon, etc. in the living room on our brand new 65in Smart TV.
Remove the water reservoir on the left of the machine, fill with tap water and replace. Press the power button and give the system a couple minutes to warm up. When it’s warmed up, lift the handle up, place a coffee pod inside and push the handle down to close. Place a mug on the machine and press the cup size you’d like. Note: There is also a regular coffee maker in the bottom cabinet next to the refrigerator if you prefer!
Before doing any laundry, please shake off all sand to keep the washer and dryer in good condition. Please use only HE detergent for the washing machine, which we provide for all guests. Please clean the lint trap from the dryer after each use.
The trash room is next to the elevator across from the condo. Please bag all trash.
The closest ASRC pool is just to the north of this condo. The pool does not require a key, but you will need to use the entry key to get into the bathrooms. Exit the front door, turn right and use the walkway on the north side of building C. Towels are above the dryer in the kitchen.
Get to the beach from the boardwalk just beyond to the pool. Beach chairs, umbrella and outdoor games are in the chest outside on the patio. Please do not bring these items inside.
There are four lighted courts available for our guests. You will access the courts with the entry key. If you’d like to reserve court time, please use the sign-up sheet at the tennis pro shop.
ASRC grills and picnic tables are located at the very end of the parking lot, straight out the front door. Please clean up after yourself if you use this space!
