About this property

Turtle Dunes Condo in Peaceful Part of Amelia Island Resort!

NEW PHOTOS AS OF JANUARY 2025! Take In The Ocean Breeze, Swaying Palm Trees, and Great Views from This North Florida Beauty!

Enjoy gorgeous ocean views from this 2 Bed/2 Bath second-floor condo in the sought-after Turtle Dunes complex in the gated Amelia Island Plantation. The main living area and primary bedroom both offer picturesque views, with access to the private oceanfront balcony from both rooms.

The comfortable king size bed in the primary bedroom offers the soothing sounds of the ocean waves. The full attached bathroom has a double vanity and walk-in shower. The second bedroom has its own attached bath as well, along with a queen size bed and flat screen TV.

The inviting living area provides comfortable seating, a large flat-screen TV, a desk perfect for remote workers, and a wet bar. The large sliding glass door to the private balcony allows for plenty of natural light.

The kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a sub-zero refrigerator. Guests will enjoy a fully-stocked kitchen with everything needed for meal preparation.

The Turtle Dunes complex is in an ideal, peaceful location on the south end of the Amelia Island Plantation (AIP.) Take a dip in the large private pool for Turtle Dunes guests, and wander out to the beach, with access just a few steps away on the boardwalk. Turtle Dunes also offers it's own private tennis courts for use by guests.

The larger AIP community is a beloved 1,340-acre paradise that is surrounded by maritime forests, tidal salt marshes and pristine, sandy beaches. Dining, shopping, and spa services are offered at the Omni Amelia Island Resort, located within the AIP.

Golf is also available within the AIP at Oak Marsh and Little Sandy short course. There are multiple other great courses on the island as well. Tee times can be scheduled online.

Nearby, bike and golf carts can be rented to explore the larger community and venture to AIP playgrounds like Drummond Park and Aury Island. Many of our guests enjoy strolling on the beach or along the AIP's miles of shaded walking and biking trails.

For those looking to adventure further afield, the scenic drive north on A1A will take you to the charming Fernandina Beach Historic District, where you can find unique boutiques, shops and dining options. Drive south on A1A to visit coastal nature preserves like Little Talbot Island State Park, known for easy biking, hiking, kayaking, and birding opportunities.

As part of this rental, a custom digital guidebook is provided with thorough property information and our local area guide sharing favorite restaurants, attractions, and more! Excitingly, our guests are also eligible to receive a 15% discount on beach gear rentals.

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your trip to this lovely Amelia Island condo!

*Please be advised this private property is not a rental through the Omni Amelia Island Resort and does not give you access to "resort privileges or amenities” (i.e. the main Omni hotel pool, fitness center or shuttle service), and Racquet Park is limited only to club members and their guests. We will gladly answer any questions about area activities and our amenities!

Beautiful Island

Wonderful property at Omni, but vacation was marred by cherry picker lift parked between condo and ocean all week. At times it was operated and made the beep beep sound, giving me a headache. When I complained, I was given a discount.

Great beach condo

Very clean, well stocked, great location. This was the best stocked unit we have ever rented. Beach chairs, beach toys, kitchen had everything we needed; including a blender! Location is great. 2nd story is high enough for unobstructed beach view, and view of pool too. Easy boardwalk stroll to beach. From front door to beach was only a minute walk total. Bedrooms were spacious. Enough room in both bedrooms for a pack 'n play to comfortably fit between bed and the wall, with enough room to walk around it too.

Quiet and Cozy

We did enjoy our stay at the property. It did have more kitchen items than most places we stay, which was appreciated. I loved the cookbooks and other reading material available. The condo itelf had a bit of an odor. Not bad, but like my grandmother's house perhaps. We bought some candles which helped. The tvs are very small in the bedroom. The OMNI resort is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay.

Turtle Dunes bliss!

Wonderful trip, and great experience at Turtle Dunes. We stayed on the top floor last year and chose the second floor this year to save money. For the price, this place did not disappoint. We still had a great view of the beach and all the amenities of the Omni resort! The condo came well equipped and was very comfortable. i had a mix up with our check out date and the realty company was easy to contact and happy to extend our stay one more day. Highly recommend! Highly recommend the wood fired dinner at the Marche cafe on the weekend.

Enjoyed our stay

Lovely location to the beach. Host management company very responsive. Due to Covid they had removed blankets but quickly provided once I notified them. The decor is a little tired. The master bedroom bed is hard as a board, if you like that it would be good. But if comfortable bed is needed this is not. Loved the ice maker it allowed us to feel up the cooler for the beach easily. But it is very loud especially at night. Soft is really only suited for 2. On the small side with 1 other chair. With Covid we did have to spend more time in the evenings in the family room. It is not very comfortable to sit on and is wore needs to be replaced. But all in all loved the beach and pool. Turtles walking all over it was very nice.

All Good

Nicely appointed unit with good furnishings and accessories. Excellent view. Very pleased with overall experience. The only fly in the ointment was some mold that had accumulated in the nozzle of the kitchen faucet which was sloughing off into the water. Would have gone undetected had I not noticed black flecks in my glass of water. I cleaned off the head by soaking in detergent and kitchen cleaner. Meant to bring to the attention of management but forgot. Only mentioning here so that management is aware and can resolve the issue. My stay overall was very enjoyable and I recommend this unit and the management company.

Pretty good

The property's location is great. I think Turtle Dunes is the best building on the plantation. They installed a huge icemaker in the bar area and that was an awesome discovery for us. That said, in this unit the kitchen supplies were skimpy. Only 2 proper wine glasses, just a few plates, etc. Enough for 4 people but be prepared to wash dishes every night. Dishwasher is in hospice care, just waiting for that inevitable day. Bedroom TV remotes batteries dead. Mosquitos in the unit, got lots of bug bites - I imagine the prior guests left doors open. Bring Raid. Clogged sink in master bath - tried unsuccessfully to fix it. Dining room table nicknamed the leaning table of pizza. Beautiful Cerwin-Vega sound system (but not working). All in all, a pretty good unit in a great location if only they'd solve a few neglected items.

Property manager needs help

Our property was great and the location was excellent. The property managers were very little help with beach reconstruction going on. We have never been to that part of Florida and looked for guidance, I had to call the construction manager for help. If I owned the property I would get a property manager to better represent me. I would stay again but not through that group. After speaking with other renters we heard the same story
