About this property

Enjoy 5th-Floor Ocean Views from 1-Bedroom Condo!

Welcome to our fifth-floor, updated oceanfront condo, where happiness comes in waves! 244 Sandcastles is located in the beautiful Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, a world-class gated community where visitors find 3.5 miles of quiet beaches, 6 miles of biking and walking trails, as well as the possibility of golf, tennis lessons and spa treatments.

Our one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo is the perfect romantic getaway or a luxurious single's retreat. It boasts a fully equipped kitchen, large windows with beautiful views throughout, a modernized bathroom, and a completely private, spacious balcony facing the Atlantic Ocean. The Sandcastles complex also has an oceanside pool and a direct path out to the sand.

Guests can easily walk to the main Omni hotel or the resort village (known as The Shops at Amelia Island Plantation) for dining, retail, putt-putt, bike/golf cart rentals, a nature center and live music most weekends. The Shops provide the perfect little collection of stores and cafes.

High-speed wireless internet is provided for the modern traveller's convenience. There are also two flat screen televisions in the unit as well, one in the living room and the other in the bedroom. Note that the community laundry rooms are located on the 2nd and 6th floors (this condo is on the 5th floor.)

​​​​​​​Please be advised this 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 (unless you're booking lessons or clinics). However, the refreshing Sandcastles pool, which has recently been renovated, has nice loungers for sunbathing and with so many places being walking distance, the shuttle service is less necessary.

244 Sandcastles will be awaiting your visit, and we will gladly answer any questions about area activities and our amenities!

Quiet and Secure

The property is private and nestled in a well maintained location. Property Representatives were super helpful in assisting with suite entry instructions as we arrived later than expected. The suite was very pleasant. We also enjoyed the basket of treats provided by the Resort.

Beautiful corner unit

We enjoyed our stay. We were surprised that there was no coffee or tea in the unit and that the washer/dryer we had expected was public and not in the unit. We would have liked more bath towels given the length of our stay. Otherwise the condo was great.

A good get-away

The condo was clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The only negative was the lack of information regarding what channels were available on the tv and how to access them. Otherwise, everything was fine. Fortunately we had no reason to contact the prooperty manager.

Great condo. Great location. Great view.

My wife and I had a great vacation and a great stay in this condo. The view was simply amazing. Loved the area too. The beach was wonderful and not at all crowded. The pool was really nice. Even though it was Spring Break time, neither the beach or the pool were ever crowded. There are also a good number of great restaurants close to the condo. The only small knock that I can think of is that I wish it was a little closer to Fernandina Beach, where there are many more restaurants and activities, but then you have more crowds, sooooo.....I'll take the nice quiet, relaxing beach and pool every time.

Great Stay with Wonderful View

I was in town for a conference at the Omni Hotel and this location worked out great as it was a 5 minute walk. The condo was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The view of the ocean from the balcony was fantastic and the beach was a short walk. I would definitely stay again.
