Nice place

We had a lovely time. He condo was spacious and well provisioned. It was great to be on the ground floor. The weather was a bit cooler than expected. But we went on some great hikes, walked on the beach and even sat in the sun by the pool. It's a lovely property ina great location. The grounds are gorgeous.

Love Turtle Dunes Ground Floor

What a beautiful, clean ( to our high standards) condo and special gift of a bottle of Sea Glass wine upon entering! My parents owned 1801 over 20 years ago before buying a home on Beachwalker Road. They have since gone to heaven, but generations of family keep returning to nostalgic Amelia Island. We loved the view from master bedroom and easy beach access. Thank you maintaining such a wonderful home!

A lovely condo… clean and comfy!

We were 2 sisters with our husbands….. just a low-key few days away for we siblings and our spouses! This condo was perfect! The rooms were quite comfortable! The location was great and we loved the community of Amelia Island. Our only negative was the huge piece of machinery which was outside of our ground level, 1st floor patio door. Certainly we couldn’t take pictures from the patio! But we adapted and learned to ignore the noise and look past the equipment!!

New Year's Trip

The property is lovely. Well decorated, stocked with needed items, and great location. You can see the ocean from the bed in the main bedroom as well as from the kitchen and living area. Easy access to the beach and pool. Nice patio area, partially covered. Two challenges: the main bed is very hard (if you like a softer mattress, consider bringing a mattress topper) and there is no phone service inside the villa--you have the "SOS" only service (if you need to have phone service for work or family then investigate possible remedies before your visit). Other than those two challenges, the place is just as described and we had a wonderful visit.

Wonderful location!

This property is in the perfect location. You just walk out the back patio and are steps away from the boardwalk to the beach and the pool. Such a beautifully decorated and lovely home. We fit 6 comfortably by pulling out the sofa couch each night. There were plenty of chairs and beach/pool toys in the big storage container on the back patio. Our family of 6 had a great time and would love to come back.

The location was perfect!! And the accommodations were great! The only issue was an odd smell in the unit, that clung to our clothes, even the ones that remained in our suitcases. Other than that - it was perfect!

Amelia Island

We stayed her the last week of February/early March 2022. All communication was emailed to us to check in. Upon entering, the condo was very clean. After traveling around Florida for 3 weeks prior and staying at other VRBO properties, this was by far the nicest. The kitchen was large and plenty of cooking pieces to use. The owner even left us a bottle of wine as a welcome present. Both bathrooms were very clean too. The view out the large sliding glass door (and master bedroom) took you right to the ocean. Lovely view. I have to say, the only down side was the internet was very slow and at times, didn't work at all. When we contacted the rental agency, she said "the internet is slow at the south end of the island." Maybe a new router would help. Our friends live just a few houses down and he has great internet. It just made it hard for my husband to work. But, I did love staying in this beautiful condo. I even liked the ground floor location. Thanks for a lovely week!

Not enough information from owner.

We had a very difficult time locating the address of the property. Rather than giving us a street address our navigation system could find, we had only a unit number. We had to finally ask a resident for help. The TV system was very inadequate and needed updating. I had to call the maintenance number and have someone come out and bring a new remote. The instructions to use the system were also inadequate. The HVAC was on cool, and the temp was in the 50’s when we arrived. My husband spent a long while trying to figure out how to switch to heat. A few instructions for the system would have been nice. Otherwise, the property was nice.

Excellent proximity to the beach and pool

This condo is a 30 second walk to the beach and the pool, which was perfect for me and my family because that is all we did while at Fernandina. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen is pretty well equipped. The dining room table is rather large for the space and makes the condo feel smaller than it is. It was not the owner's fault, but the housekeeping was not up to par. Overall, this is a very nice spot.

Almost 5 Stars

Overall, we had a great stay! The location and space were awesome! We were traveling with our 1-year-old and our baby monitor hooks up to wifi. It was very slow and worked intermittently :(. The photos show a lounge chair that wasn't there. Outdoor furniture actually went into our decision to rent this property so it's absence was a disappointment. Despite these two things, we would likely return.

A little piece of paradise!

So glad we chose Christine's little piece of paradise for our getaway. It was our first time in Amelia Island but definitely not our last. The condo was cozy and inviting and steps from the beach and the pool! The master bedroom bed was very comfortable and we woke up every day to beautiful views of the sunrise. We did a lot of exploring and wanted to share a few faves for future guests to this great condo. - Our visit to Drummond Point and Amelia Island State Park -Fave restaurants: Salt at the Ritz Carlton (pricey but worth the experience), Pogos Kitchen, the Salty Pelican In Fernandina Beach -Morning walks on the beach right outside our back door! Even walked to the Omni for breakfast -Evening walks near the beach - so peaceful and a million stars in the sky. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic Condo at Amelia Island Plantation-Turtle Dunes

We have been staying at AIP for decades and this is certainly one of the nicest condos that we have rented. It is beautifully decorated and although I was hesitant about being on the Ground Floor, it turned out to be incredibly convenient for the beach and pool. I loved it! Unfortunately, the condo was not clean when we arrived. In fact, it was unacceptable. However, I do not think this is the norm at all! Because of COVID, the leasing agency were very short staffed as the cleaners just weren't showing up. The managerial staff were even cleaning properties trying to keep it all running smoothly. When I complained, the agency bent over backwards to make it all as it should be. They were so apologetic and embarrassed. They sent in an excellent cleaner and made it all just right! I wouldn't even mention it, but it happened and I want to be truthful with my review. We had a really lovely stay and I would 100% rent this condominium again- no hesitation at all!

Great Updated Condo!

Wonderful first floor unit with all the amenities you need. I loved that I could open the door and be on the beach in a minute! The owner has really put thought into what you will need while you are there. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook. The automatic night lights in the bathroom were great too! The ease of check in and out was a definite bonus.
