Beautiful first-floor Turtle Dunes villa located on the south end of Amelia Island.

The gated Amelia Island Plantation (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, as well as multiple other great courses on the island. Tee times can be scheduled online.
Nearby, bike and golf carts can be rented to explore the larger community and venture to community playgrounds like Drummond Park and Aury Island. Many of our guests most enjoy strolling on the beach or along the AIP's miles of shaded walking and biking trails.
For those looking to explore further afield, the scenic drive north on A1A will take you to the charming Fernandina Beach Historic District to enjoy the unique boutiques, shops and dining options. Drive south on A1A to visit the Talbot Islands, nature preserves known for gentle hiking and excellent 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!

The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful view and great location to pool and beach access so worked well with kids. Only negative was that the confo is last one in the property so takes awhile to get to it once you go thru security gate. Restaurants are longer drive if you want to eat off the Omni resort spots. Overall great condo and experience
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo for a long, relaxing weekend—we had a wonderful time!
The other reviews talked about the proximity to the beach access walkway, so we were pleasantly surprised that the pool was also very close. (And we would get to see the neighborhood gopher tortoise that lives under the walkway on the way!)
We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio with our coffee in the morning, and it was so nice being able to take the dog for a walk right off of the patio, as well. The condo was very well stocked with anything you may need—from beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella to extra pillows/blankets, and coffee supplies. They thought of everything!
It was also very convenient being the first condo near the covered drive and being so close to the garbage chute.
On the way home, we were talking about when we would be able to come back and visit again, and how we were already missing the beautiful views!
Excellent property and experience. The only slight area for improvement would be clarity on directions at checkin. As cautioned, navigation gets you sideways in a hurry. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
We have stayed at this condo twice. We love it’s comfortable living and close proximity to the beach. It’s conveniently located close to grocery stores and restaurants.
Amazing view, great oceanfront location, immaculate and well stocked condo. Resort was beautiful. Walked the beach everyday. Restaurants were delicious.
Everything went as planned which is a bonus as no one likes to deal with vacation property issues while trying to relax and enjoy your leisure time! The island was full of wonderful restaurants, shops and places to explore! Can’t wait to visit again!

We enjoyed our stay at Turtle Dunes! It was beautiful and a short easy walk to the beach or pool.
Our condo was perfect and beautiful. We enjoyed watching the dolphins everyday and taking long walks on the beach. We loved that the beach was not crowded and enjoyed the peacefulness each day. We would love to return!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful Turtle Dunes/Amelia Island condo. It had everything we needed and the beds were extremely comfortable, which we consider important to us. We loved the ground floor location since we brought our pet, and it was lovely being steps from the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
The home is just as stated on vrbo. Fully furnished, great area, and waking to sun rising right from your bedroom is hard to beat! It was a wonderful time for all of us.
We loved staying here and immediately booked next year. Clean, comfortable with many amenities. We had a great TV, comfortable bed, nice shower and bathroom, beautiful views, nice patios, friendly neighbors, very dog friendly. Not so good is the bathtub drain and the kitchen cabinets not the best.

Beautiful condo, so convenient!
Great condo, just as described. Steps to the beach and pool. Quiet, roomy. Perfect. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed this property. Being on the first floor with the large grassy area in front of us was very nice and good for our little dog. There is also a lot of outside covered space to enjoy, more than you would have on a balcony. The interior of the condo is a little tired but it definitely met our needs.
We think this is a perfect location for anyone who wants to stay on the Amelia Plantation. Our unit was on the ground floor which gave us excellent accessibility. A short drive provided great dining and, of course, you can also take a little longer drive to downtown. All in all, we’d be happy to rent this property again. We did have a minor glitch with the door-lock code but that was taken care of quickly.
We absolutely loved this place. It is tastefully decorated, very clean, and is extremely close to the ocean. We plan to rent again. We were disappointed to find that the sofa wasn't a sleeper sofa as described. Otherwise, it was great!
This was such a lovely condo and perfect for our short visit to Amelia Island! We loved being on the ground floor with such a beautiful front lawn just off the porch. Just steps from the pool and beach, this made it very convenient to run in and out without missing much fun time at the water! We had everything we needed in the condo for cooking and entertainment. I will definitely be booking 1806 Turtle Dunes again! Thank you to the wonderful owners for such a beautiful place!
