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!

Looking forward to future stays here

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!

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!

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.

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!

Great Beach Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Turtle Dunes. Loved the location and the property in general. It was a perfect setting for us and the views of sun rises and sun sets were fantastic. We had just a couple of minor things we needed to contact Gazal about and she took care of them right away. She also checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. I’m sure we will be back.

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!

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.

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!
