This is an ocean front condo with beautiful views from every window. The patio was a nice place to have breakfast and drinks. The beach was just five stories down by elevator or stairs. The walk to the beach was just a couple of minutes. The pool was clean and so were the restrooms located within the pool area. Two of the bedrooms have balconies that face the ocean and the living room also has huge windows with ocean front views. This condo is in a secluded, lush, gated community. We enjoyed the pickleball courts and went into town a couple of times for drinks and dinner. Downtown Amelia Island is a 20 minute drive. All in all, a very nice place to stay while at the beach.

Thank you, Kathleen. We're glad you enjoyed the oceanfront views, patio breakfasts, easy beach access, and the clean pool and restrooms. It's great the balconies, gated community, and pickleball courts added to your stay, and that you had time to explore downtown. We hope to welcome you back to Amelia Island soon.

We had a great stay overall. The pool was closed due to some filtration and sanitation issues through the entirety of our stay which I completely understand is out of our hosts control. That being said, if I’m being honest it definitely put a significant damper on the trip.
Lailee offered us an alternative pool but was unheated. I appreciated the sentiment but just wasn’t the same.
All said and done though, the space is fantastic. Communication was good and if the pool isn’t a normal issue then we would 1000% come again.

We stayed in the condo on Amelia Island for two weeks with our family of six adults. There was plenty of room with lovely views from nearly every room. The ocean and beach are outstanding. We are very active with running and walks and the trails on the property were nice and very pretty through the trees.
We went into Ferdinand Beach town several times for shopping and restaurants. Very quaint and historic.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and the feedback from the others in our party was very positive. Would recommend, for sure.

Great condo on the beach with spectacular views and peaceful atmosphere. We didn’t spend much time there as we were in town for wedding festivities so we didn’t get to use the pool at spend time at the beach but the view was amazing as well as the condo.

The condo at Turtle Cove was phenomenal. The view was breathtaking and the grounds were immaculate. The beach is right out the front and it’s perfect for walking in the beautiful mornings. Doris, was extremely quick to respond with any questions we had and we had several about places to go. Downtown was great with shopping and eateries. We loved it so much, that we initially booked for 4 nights, but extended it 4 more. Definitely going back next summer.

Our family has been coming to Amelia Island for years, always staying at villas connected to the Omni. Every time, it has always been a fight or something has gone wrong with our condo, the livability of the space, etc. This year we decided to try something new and I am so incredibly grateful we did. We found Amelia Best VRR on Airbnb and we will never go back to the Omni. From the start, they were extremely responsive and helpful with our questions, extremely accommodating, and very detailed. The booking process was seamless, check in even smoother, and support throughout our stay was next level. We enjoyed it so much, we ended up booking our next trip with them on the first night of our visit! Thank you Amelia Best for a wonderful new vacation partner!

Best Stay Ever
We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations at our condo stay. The condo was exactly as pictured, no exaggeration here. The view from the 5th floor was spectacular. We booked for 4 nights and extended our stay 4 additional nights; that’s how much we enjoyed our stay. Doris, our host, was great. I texted her several times about various things and she was always quick to respond. Definitely looking to go back next year!

Fabulous stay at 1856 Turtle Dunes
Best spot on AI! Gorgeous condo with spectacular views! Spacious and very clean! Comfortable beds. Loved having the large balcony and corner unit. It was a very quiet location. Hospitality was superb with chocolates and wine upon arrival and quick responses to any questions we had! We would love to come back next time we plan a trip to Amelia!
- Wynee R , Posted: 8/24/2025
The home was beautiful. The views were amazing and the location of the property to the pool and beach access was great! We not so much a complaint, but a suggestion. Two of the three bathrooms were okay. They were clean and nice, but the shower heads were not good. The water had very little pressure and when you changed the setting the water shot out in different directions. It was not a nice shower experience and it was difficult to get shampoo and salt (saltwater) out of your hair. Please consider replacing the showerheads...
- Marianne M , Posted: 8/22/2025

Beautiful location. The condo was spacious. The pool was magnificent along with easy access to the ocean. My only complaint would be that the condo had very little supplies for us to use in the kitchen. There is no grill and not much to cook with. Having to supply our own beach towels was also an inconvenience.
- Brenda E , Posted: 6/24/2025
Thanks so much for your review! We're delighted you enjoyed our prime location, the spaciousness of the condo, and the amazing pool with direct beach access.
We're sorry to hear about the limited kitchen supplies and the inconvenience of providing your own beach towels. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will certainly take your comments into consideration for future improvements.
Just to clarify on the grill, the building strictly prohibits them due to safety regulations. We know this can be a bummer for some guests.
We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again!

The place was nice, view was spectacular, loved the open balcony area and the beach and pool access. The location was isolated from restaurants and things to do. Very peaceful if you are looking to stay in the condo or on the beach; a bit of noise from the condo above. Would have been nice to have a bit more paper goods and soap/shampoo. Also would like to have had chairs to take to the beach and maybe a raft or tube to use. Shower pressure in all bathrooms was a trickle, hard to figure out hot and cold and the hot water didn’t last long. Beds were comfortable with a choice of pillows. Family area was great with plenty of room for 6 adults to watch tv or the ocean. We enjoyed our time fishing and hanging out in Fernandina for dinner and nightlife.

We acknowledge our location offers a peaceful, isolated setting, which is appreciated by many. However, we sincerely apologize for the noise from the unit above and especially for the issues with shower pressure, hot water, and temperature control – this is not acceptable, and we are addressing it with our maintenance team immediately.
Your suggestions for additional paper goods, soap/shampoo, and beach amenities like chairs or tubes are valuable, and we will definitely consider them for future enhancements.
We hope you'll consider staying with us again so we can provide an even better experience.

Fabulous condo. Every way
I can’t say enough good things. The condo is spacious, airy, and beautifully and tastefully decorated. From the terrace one can see the sunset over the bay on one side and the ocean on the other side—gorgeous both ways. The owners thought of everything a guest might need. The kitchen is superbly appointed. Full size washer-dryer and plenty of detergent. Complete service of pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Beds extra comfortable and my husband loved reading in the window seat in the master bedroom. Our standard poodle was a gentleman inside and loved chasing the birds on the beach, which is very unpopulated. The owner made it very clear that she was available if we had any needs whatsoever and was completely charming. We will be back for sure!
- Claudia A , Posted: 5/31/2025
Wonderful retreat!
We had a wonderful girls weekend at this beautiful property. The location to the beach was excellent, and it was nice to have the pool nearby. We enjoyed the walking paths to the village, and eating and drinking at the nearby resort restaurants. Also an easy trip to Fernandina.
We never found a cutting board in the kitchen, but that was hardly as issue :)

Beautiful Oceanfront Condo
We had a wonderful week on Amelia Island. The condo was well equipped for six adults. We enjoyed the beach (rented daily chairs and umbrellas set up by Sunsetters), the 5th floor patio was a perfect spot for happy hour and tennis and portable net for pickleball was within a 5 minute walk. We highly recommend!

My friends and I recently stayed at this luxurious condo for a long weekend, and we had an amazing time. The views from the condo are breathtaking and spectacular. The condo was private, clean, spacious, and well-appointed. It had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and two private balconies with stunning views of the ocean where you can sit, enjoy, and relax.
The location of the condo was also perfect and private. It was remarkably quiet in the complex, and we didn't hear any outside noise. It's only a few minutes' walk to the beach and pools. Additionally, it was easy to drive to other popular attractions in the area for dining, shopping, and entertainment.
Laily was our main contact, and she is a joy to work with—fantastic. She was very responsive to our questions and needs.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this condo. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay on Amelia Island.

This condo was stunning! The pictures are true to how it looks in real life. We really enjoyed being steps away from a private beach and the pool. The master bed was a little on the firm side for us but we still slept well. The condo is close to shops, grocery stores and restaurants. This was, by far, our favorite VRBO to date. It was perfect and we look forward to spending many more trips here!

Great location and views
We love visiting Amelia Island, and this place was a good place to stay. Great views from most rooms, and the balcony provided sunset and sunrise views. It was furnished with everything we needed to cook and feel comfortable for our short stay. There were minor things that are small opportunities for improvement. There were 2 spots on the ceiling where the paint was peeling off from a water leak from the unit above, and the windows facing the ocean were a bit fuzzy from the salt water spray and could use a cleaning on the outside. Should have someone check the oven as well. We used it twice and items took 3-4 times the time to cook than they should have.

Wonderful Family Vacation Retreat
Without sounding too dramatic, I can't say enough about how perfect this location was. It was even more beautiful than the pictures portrayed. The rental was clean and comfortable, while still having the feel of a special vacation spot for a week. Perfectly close to a private beach and pool, we felt like we almost owned the resort, it was awesome! We were blessed with great weather, and the picture window in the living room was great for watching rain clouds roll in during the one occasion that it did rain. The check-in process was easy and our hosts were readily available via text, if needed (I only bothered them for local recommendations, no issues at all). I can't wait to return, really loved it!

Second time staying here!
This was our family’s second time visiting this condo. It’s perfect for our family of 4. My mom and my daughter’s friend came for a few days during our visit and we had more than enough room.
It’s clean, has everything you need, and very comfortable.
We were there for two weeks and didn’t want to leave. The property managers were quick to respond with any questions I had.
The views of the beach and the river are gorgeous! We brought our golf cart from home and explored the area. I highly recommend renting (or bringing) a golf cart.
We will return for sure!

Beautiful views of sunrise and sunsets
This property definitely lived up to the online VRBO listing. The views of the ocean and the ICW were amazing. The end unit on the 5th floor of this bldg was a great location for our group. We appreciated the layout of the condo that offered 2 bedrooms overlooking the ocean. The patio offered views of beautiful sunsets over the ICW and sunrises over the ocean. Easy access to the beach for nice long walks either direction. Interior was well appointed with amenities that met our needs. Defintely recommend.

Beautiful views
This condo had the most beautiful views. We stay at many VRBO’s all over and also on Amelia Plantation. The property manager was very responsive. However there were things out of her control but wish we had been informed of. Such as the restoration of beach in front of Turtle Dunes. King bed in master bedroom was so hard I woke up after the first night with horrible back pain. Went out and bought a foam topper to be able to sleep in bed since we were there for 3 weeks. Also, they had doors that were slatted so you could hear every single thing going on in the condo. They did come to take measurements while we were there to replace doors. Unfortunately that didn’t happen while we were there..
All in all it was a beautiful unit with a huge terrace with views of both the ocean and the amazing sunsets on the inter coastal and would stay here again!
- Kimber H. , Posted: 9/19/2021
Great location
Location is ideal for vacation. The only complaint I would voice is that the doors have slats in them and it doesn't allow for quiet or privacy. We could hear our girls watching tv and talking at night and they could hear us in the morning while they tried to sleep.
- susan h. , Posted: 8/12/2021
Dear Susan,

Great condo with beautiful views
We have come to Amelia island at least a dozen times and this was easily my favorite condo. The space was beautifully decorated, had amazing views, which were enhanced by an oversized balcony that was great for entertaining and enjoying the morning sunrises. The owner was very thoughtful when it came to small touches to make us feel welcome and also very easy to communicate with. The only two complaints are at times parking is difficult which seems to be a common problem at almost all the condominiums in this resort. The beds were all on the firm side of comfort which is not my personal preference so would bring additional padding if you prefer a softer mattress. Look forward to booking this place again next year!

Recent stay
Upon arrival, there was a bit of disconnect with the reservation and the gate; however, once you're in, it's difficult to forget it all with the breathtaking views. The reality of the views vastly outshine the photos online. The patio area wasn't highlighted enough. It's a wonderful area to sit and enjoy the gorgeous marsh on one side and the ocean on there other. Truly an amazing location. Gazal was very attentive and quick to respond to any concerns. Wifi and water bugs were not perfect, but again, it's easy to forget issues with the incredible views and location. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous condo. Every way
I can’t say enough good things. The condo is spacious, airy, and beautifully and tastefully decorated. From the terrace one can see the sunset over the bay on one side and the ocean on the other side—gorgeous both ways. The owners thought of everything a guest might need. The kitchen is superbly appointed. Full size washer-dryer and plenty of detergent. Complete service of pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Beds extra comfortable and my husband loved reading in the window seat in the master bedroom. Our standard poodle was a gentleman inside and loved chasing the birds on the beach, which is very unpopulated. The owner made it very clear that she was available if we had any needs whatsoever and was completely charming. We will be back for sure!

Great for families!
I am 71 years old and have rented condos from the Bahamas to Florida, SC, Tenn, Colorado, Montana, Maine, Wyoming, Vermont and Europe.. ( and that’s not all )
This condo was exactly perfect for our family vacation. It was not elegant or expensive w fancy things but that is not what we wanted. My son is a US Marine and doesn’t expect elegant or expensive things. He just wants to be w his wife and 3 children and enjoy a gorgeous beach and have a warm and comfy place to enjoy.
We cooked at home every night and day. The kitchen might’ve needed some better knives but unless u are an expert cook (like my son )the kitchen is well equipped. The Harris Teeter has amazing food. We bought shrimp, scallops and prime rib during our stay. Fantastic!
Beds are very Comfortable. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone coming to Amelia Island.
- Barbara G. , Posted: 8/5/2019

Absolutely perfect!
My husband and i got married in Amelia 6 years ago and came back with our first baby and brought along both of the grandmas. It was the perfect accommodation for the group, the outdoor balcony was our every morning breakfast spot and early evening cocktail hour. The views are beautiful, whether you’re looking for an ocean sunrise or marsh sunset. We rented a golf cart and explored the property, went shopping, and headed to the local grocery store. The rooms are in great condition, each one with its own bathroom which was perfect. Beach and pool both steps away, just bring your own chairs and umbrellas to the beach. Best part is it’s dog friendly! We loved our stay, will be coming back next year!

Excellent
We wanted a condo with a good view of the beach and a roomy den and this condo gave us both. Also, plenty of room in the kitchen and master bedroom and bathroom. The building is nice and the location in the plantation is good. Would definitely return.

Beautiful condo....perfect for our family!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful condo! The views were breathtaking inside and out! We especially enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning from the balcony, and the rooftop patio was like an outdoor living room! It was the perfect setup for our family of six, including our dog. We hope to return soon!

Perfect
Beautiful location & condo. Right on the beach with spectacular 5th floor views. The condo is beautifully decorated and very clean. Lots to do nearby.
- Barbara F. , Posted: 12/29/2018
We spent the Christmas holidays in a lovely place surrounded by water and sun.
This was our first visit to Amelia Island and one that will be unforgettable! Owner Gazal was so responsive to our needs and even left us a present of wine, chocolates and candy! Our family, including the family dog Jax enjoyed all the comforts of home! We even had a Christmas tree and presents!
The condo was very nicely appointed and all the necessities were included. Thank you for an extremely enjoyable stay!

Beautiful condo in paradise
This oceanfront condo was everything we hoped it would be. It was beautifully and comfortably furnished and decorated with a classy, beachy theme, and it had a well-stocked kitchen for us to prepare our family Thanksgiving dinner. We also appreciated the large dining room table that allowed our family to sit together for meals. One of the reasons we selected this gorgeous condo was because of the roof-top deck with table and chairs and the front and rear views of the ocean and Intracoastal Waterway from the deck, and it was just perfect. The 180 degree views of the ocean from most of the rooms are breathtaking. I spent many lovely hours sitting in the master bedroom window seat enjoying the view and a good book. Such a nice touch. The rental agent was warm and hospitable and always immediately responded to my emails or texts. She knew that we were gathering from multiple cities to heal from the loss of a family member, and she was very gracious and caring about it.
- Dorianne V. , Posted: 11/28/2018
Exactly what we were looking for!
Newly renovated, very nice accommodations with large living area, bedrooms and kitchen. The owners are extremely nice with thoughtful touches. The view is gorgeous with one of the biggest balconies/patios I have ever seen for a condo. Perfect location with beautiful grounds, pools and beach. Will be back!
- Deborah P. , Posted: 11/9/2018
beautiful condo!! Extremely clean and very well appointed!
Gazal and Amelia International Realty do not disappoint! Gazal is extremely hospitable and attentive. This is the second time I have rented from Gazal and her company and once again an excellent experience. Highly recommend the condo and experience - condo was super clean, well appointed and updated. Incredible ocean view! Will rent this one again! Many thanks Gazal!

Warm colors for relaxing, good spot and quiet place in the building and in the plantation. Nicely decorated. I used a walker and pretty much got around easily.

Beautiful unit, amazing views, spectacular stay!
Our experience with this stay was phenomenal from the time we made our first inquiry until the time we checked out. Gazal and Laily are wonderful to work with and clearly take pride in this unit and their top notch level of service.
The unit was just as pictured and described in the listing--very well furnished and decorated, especially compared to most other rental units. In fact one in our group checked the tag on the living room sectional to determine the brand for consideration in her own new home. One of the top features that made us select this unit was the deck and the views--and they did not disappoint! There are spectacular views of the ocean, which are especially extraordinary at sunrise, and also amazing views of the sunset over the waterway from the deck.
This rental was everything we had hoped for and then some, and we hope to return for a longer stay soon!

Beautiful condo and great ladies to work with!
We love the Amelia Island Plantation and have been staying in the hotel for several years. This year we wanted to share our time with more family and decided to rent a condo on the resort property.
Gazal and Laily’s unit that we stayed in was wonderful. The spacious and comfortable unit was perfect for everyone to have their own space not to mention it is beautifully decorated. We loved enjoying our breakfast on the rooftop balcony in the mornings.
We had a couple of minor challenges while there and Gazal and Laily handled things for us while going above and beyond to give our family a great vacation.
The beach access and pool at turtle dunes was wonderful. We will for sure be staying again!

Perfect Stay for our family of 5
Our stay was perfect! Tha condo was clean and very comfortable. The property was beautiful and the views were fantastic. We walked the beach every day. We only had a short 5 day stay but were able to relax an enjoy all Amelia Island had to offer. It is conveniently located on the Omni Property which was perfect so we could take advantage of the Spa, resturants and Shops. The Beds and furniture were all very comfortable.
The owners were very responsive and accommodating to any questions we had. We hope to come back again.
Thank you for making our stay memorable!

Amazing ocean front views
We enjoyed our stay at this place very much. We loved the 3 bd 3 ba so each couple had their own bathroom. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Amazing views from master suites, living room and large balcony (the unit is on the 5th floor). Tram service was excellent and resort restaurants were very good. The pool was a bit too cold to swim in for this time of the year and pump from the pool house seemed a bit noisy when we were out on the balconies. Overall,
great place and highly recommend it.

We had high expectations based on the pictures, and we were not disappointed.
What a lovely property. We had a terrific family vacation with our adult children. 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms worked perfectly. The balconies, the view, the pool, the proximity to the beach, the benefits of being on the omni resort (island hopper, restaurants, pool, etc), and the dog-friendly environment left nothing to be desired. My son proposed to his fiancé on the beach, and we celebrated for hours with dear friends on the balcony. It was such a wonderful, memorable vacation!

Quiet, Great View, easy to get to beach
We were nervous as we knew that Irma was still being cleaned up, but the impact on Turtle Dunes was mostly gone. The floorplan was perfect, and they were very kind and thoughtful in things like hair dryer and curling iron, extra toilet paper, etc.. Not common with most VRBO we deal with.
Furniture was comfortable (wish a bigger TV in master bed room), and the bathrooms were user friendly.
Quiet, great view, and easy to get to beach and pool.

Great Memories Created for Three Generations
This is a fabulous location for multiple generations! With two grandchildren, two parents and two grandparents there is plenty of room for different activities both in the condo and on the plantation. The condo is roomy and very well furnished with many amazing views. The pool area is awesome! The beach is so convenient and no steps to cross over the sand dunes....can pull wheeled carts, etc. easily onto the sand. The beach is large and never crowded.......sometimes it feels private. There are several great restaurant options on the plantation from pizza to fine dinning. We have been to Amelia Island Plantation three years and the last two in this condo......hopefully many more to follow! Another huge benefit of this condo are the owners......they are amazingly helpful!! Thank you, Laily & Ghazal!!!

Wonderful!!
We were very pleased with this condo. It was lovely and the owner Laily is very helpful and helped us out with additional king sheets after we pushed the twin beds together to make it into a king. A few suggestions it would be nice to have a television in the bedroom with the twin beds and the early morning sun in the living room was very bright a shade on this window would have been a nice option.
We would definitely visit again!!
Very peaceful and relaxing area.
Thank you Laily!!

Relax and Enjoy
My two girlfriends and I rented this condo to celebrate all of us turning 50. We loved that it was the end unit on a high floor with a huge side deck overlooking the ocean. The easy access to the beach and to the pool for the unit was great. The condo was well-equipped and modern with spectacular views and we would definitely stay here again . It was nice that each bedroom has its own private bath as well.
Gazal and Laily ( and Charlene) were very responsive and we appreciated their kindness.

Great Getaway!
We loved our time at this condo and will definitely be back. Great location, and the ocean views are to die for! The kitchen is well stocked, and we had plenty of room. As other reviewers have stated the lack of a bathroom door in the master is just bizarre -- it would be simple and not terribly expensive to put in a pocket door so as not to make for some awkward situations. Speaking of the bathroom, when you go to the grocery store buy your own toilet paper, the paper supplied is gas station restroom quality so you will want to upgrade. There are a few other touches that would make the condo more luxurious but nothing major. Still a great place and we loved our time here.
- meg o. , Posted: 3/21/2017
Dear Meg,
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and
thank you for taking your time to give us your feedback.
We agree with you about the bathroom door,and it is our first priority as soon as we have a break in our reservations.
In regard to bathroom supplies,we usually get them from costco ,unfortunately this only time,our cleaning ladies prepared them.
We appreciate your comments.We love to have you here again at our condo and do our best to make it more desirable for your next trip.
With my best,

Christmas at Amelia
We decided to start a new tradition, and escaped to Amelia for a few days over Christmas. We go to Amelia a few times a year, and this home was easily the best we've stayed in. The condo was beautiful, updated, supplied with everything we needed and clean--couldn't have asked for more. The owners were gracious, responded promptly to our questions, and easy to work with. Strongly recommend staying there! We'll be back.

Last Minute Getaway
"This property is great. We thoroughly enjoyed the balconies and the views from every windows were breathtaking ,also being right on the beach. We had plenty of room with the 3 bedroom/3 baths . Furnishings in the unit as well as the décor were impressive. Great relaxing weekend, beach was amazing with no crowds, resort pool very clean, grounds immaculate. Ms. Gazal was extremely helpful and accommodating, made everything very easy from the begining to check out. I definitely recommend this place and will definitely return to this area and condo again! Thank you!"

Wonderful Experience!
Our family had a wonderful week in this lovely condo. It is beautifully furnished but the best feature is the view of the ocean to the east and the intercostal to the west. We enjoyed our evenings on the large balcony. The town of Fernandina has delightful restaurants and shops with abundant activities - golf, fishing, kayaking, etc. We especially appreciated the helpful assistance of our rental agent. When we arrived the pack and play we requested was set up and when a hair dryer didn't work, she immediately brought us another one. It was a near perfect vacation!

A Relaxing Getaway
We came in for a 4-day vacation at Amelia Island to relax with another couple. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We did not realize until the last night that the resort provided a shuttle service 24-7 from and to anywhere in the resort so, we were able to be picked up at the front of our building and go to the main hotel for evening festivities and then back again. A great feature!
The condo itself was clean and had great view of the ocean from several rooms. A note to the owner.... the kitchen faucet did not have much water pressure so it drizzled out.
All in all....a great place and we would definitely recommend it!
- MaryBeth M. , Posted: 4/12/2016
Dear Marybeth, I am so glad that you and your family and friends enjoyed your stay and I hope you made lots of good memories. Thank you for taking time and give me your feedback, I value that! I did notice the faucet in the kitchen and between your check out and the check in of 4/14 I had plumber came in and fixed it.
Looks like you and your family looked for all the positives around you and enjoyed your time staying here! You made my day by letting me know about your experience here and I love you to come back and visit us again in the near future.
Have a blessed Summer,
Regards,

FANTASTIC RENTAL
We just came back from a fantastic stay in this unit. It is recently updated with new cabinetry, appliances and fixtures. 3BR's are roomy, comfortable and convenient to all activities. Both balconies boost fantastic views, ocean and marshviews. Our family of 5 vacationed for a week and could only say, this unit was tops! Comfy beds, upgraded fine linens and furnishings. All was there and very nicely appointed. Rental agent was fantastic, she accommodated our every desire and provided all info needed to fulfill a fantastic Holiday. We will return to this unit specifically as we know and appreciate the quality and pride of ownership in this Villa. Miss the beautiful sunrise!

Fantastic views, and close to the beach....but there's a few things potential renters should know.
This unit is in the perfect location. The views from the living room windows can’t be beat. My dad isn’t able to venture out much, so he loved sitting at the window watching the ocean! It’s an end unit, which was great for privacy and for leaving the sandy items by the entrance. Loved the proximity to the beach. Such a short walk! Staying on the plantation was perfect because there is no public beach access. The beach was never crowded, and we could even leave our chairs/tent on the beach overnight.The condo has also been updated. The kitchen/bathrooms are beautiful. The tile in each one is gorgeous! I love the sleek fixtures and modern design. The unit has all the makings of an absolutely fantastic stay, BUT there are definitely some things that need attending to, or at least renters should be aware of them:
1) There are no window treatments in the bedrooms except for roll up sheer screens. I'm not really sure of the point of these. I guess it makes it harder for people to see in? It doesn't block out light. So, if you're a "get up with the sun" type of person, this condo is for you! If you're not, look elsewhere or bring something you could hang over the windows yourself. We were awake by 7am each morning due to our bedroom being very bright. Our toddler slept in a pack-n-play in the room with us. She normally sleeps until 8:30 or 9am, but she was awake with the sun every morning! After speaking with the manager, she said this is something she'd look into. Check beforehand if this is a concern.
2.) There was no bathroom door in the master bedroom. I'm an interior designer. I can appreciate different decorative tastes, but doors are necessary when there are multiple guests in a unit. You come around the corner of the bedroom, and BAM!..There’s someone showering or sitting on the toilet. This was also something the manager said they could look into changing possibly.
3.) Last problem, but not the least...The bedrooms doors were louvered. It allowed absolutely no sound privacy from anywhere in the condo. Again, we had a toddler with us. She goes to bed early, so we had to be extra quiet in the evenings and during nap times.
The management and owner definitely aim to please. Laily makes herself available to answer any questions or concerns. I would contact them beforehand if you have any concerns regarding any of these issues.
Again, this is a great condo, but these were just some things I thought renters should be aware of before renting.
- M. G. , Posted: 8/2/2015
Dear Mallory, thank you for all nice and positive comments you made about this unique villa, and we hope you and your family had a memorable vacation here on Amelia Island.
Mallory, the points you had make are all well taken, as I explained to you the reason behind the type of shades we had picked was that most people like to enjoy the view of the ocean at all times and this was the best type of window cover we could find in the market which can please both group. Also, I went a head and purchased Curtin to hang for guests who need more block in the master bedroom.
We had separate Water Closet, and we were receiving comment from guests that it was "small and closed in" and when remodeling was being done we tried to make it less closed in.
Door on the Master Bedroom I have talked to the owner and we have it in our future plan to replace them, even though for air circulation that type of doors are very sufficient.
Mallory, all together we truly appreciate your feedback as well as your comments and we love to have you here again and be able to make it even more enjoyable for you and your family.
Best Regards, Laily

Spacious bright condo with fabulous ocean and marsh views
My partner and I stayed in this condo from January to March 2012 and January/February 2013. We have already booked for three months next winter (2014). We were disappointed to read the negative review posted here, since we think this is the nicest place to stay on the Plantation. The issue of leaking roofs and the temporary closure of the pool are obviously outside of the owner's control --- I understand the Condo Corporation is working to address both problems.
We really love the spectacular views from this 5th floor waterfront condo, especially the sunrises and moon-rises over the ocean, and sunsets over the marsh. With windows open you can hear the waves breaking softly on the shore all night long.We enjoy birdwatching from the condo itself, watching northern gannets plunge into the waves, and flocks of pelicans swooping right over our balcony.
This condo is an end unit with windows on three sides, a huge patio/deck and lots of light. Between our first and second stays the owner installed all new windows and patio doors, and all new tile flooring, and new patio tiling. There is new living room furniture and a large flat-screen television. The unit has been completely repainted a neutral eggshell white. While the kitchen is definitely dated, it is clean and functional, as are all three bathrooms. The owner has added interesting new pieces of original art, and a lovely collection of seashells.
The Turtle Dunes building is well maintained, and the staff are helpful and friendly. We enjoy many of the Plantation amenities, including walks and shell-collecting on the beach, great bike paths, and the parks on the marsh side. The old live oaks with their Spanish moss coverings and the canopy roads are amazing.
My sister also spends her winters on Amelia Island, and whenever she has friends or relatives visiting, she brings them over to our condo to show them our fabulous condo with its amazing oceanfront views.
We would highly recommend this condo to anyone.
