Turtle Haven Amelia - Oceanfront, Huge Balcony, Top Floor Views, Steps To Beach

Truly right on the beach. Top Floor (4th level, with elavator). This condo is all about proximity and the full condo-width balcony (25') that immerses you in the ocean’s presence. The feel & views are great from the top floor. With coffee on the balcony, watch the sunrise, ocean waves, and sea life unobstructed from your own perch on the beach. An ideal couple’s retreat. (*see notes below*)

If you're looking for relaxation, peace and quiet with easy access to everything you might need, you've found the place. Designed for the ultimate chill if you love being near the ocean. Balcony is also covered providing a cooling shade midday onward.

Amelia Island and the quaint, historic downtown of Fernandina Beach, is easy-going. Plenty of restaurants and shopping downtown and elsewhere both on and off the island. Nearby Ft. Clinch is great for hike/bike/walk/drive and where you can see Florida's natural beauty.

See our great reviews. We pride ourselves on providing a convenient and accommodating vacation experience.

From our guestbook:

- Just the perfect place - great beach access, close to restaurants, easy to get around. Condo is thoughtfully and generously supplied, and we so much appreciatedbeing trusted with those "extras". Hope to be back soon

- Thank you for sharing Turtle Haven with us for the week! We celebrated our 39th anniversary. Absolutely loved everything. Such a pleasure to walk out the door to the ocean. We rented bikes and rode Egans parkway to Ft Clinch. Visited several places in the historic district. Espana, AIBC Brewing, Sandbar were fantastic! Already planning our return trip!

- Waves and sunrise were soul awakening. Truly religious!

- Loved it and the views. Will definitely be back.

-This condo is a treasure! The balcony and it's beautiful view, as well as the ease of getting to the water were our favorite parts, but I have to say I've never stayed in such a well-kept and clean rental. Thank you for that!! The boat tour to Cumberland is a must. We saw so many dolphins and wild horses!

-What a great fantastic week at your cozy condo with a gorgeous sunrise! Wish we could have stayed longer.

-Three "50ish" friends trip was a blast. It's a beautiful location and we loved the convenience of parking (although a little tedious at times) and the short walk to the beach. We're dog lovers, so we loved seeing all the dogs on the beach. The condo is great with all the amenities needed. This was our first time on Amelia Island and we were not disappointed. We want to bring our husbands next time!!

-great location - peaceful, but short walk to festivities!

-We loved the beautiful view from the deck and the privacy on this side of the beach. You provided everything anyone would need but since we brought our own supplies we can pay it forward to the next lucky renters!

-Again thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. We look forward to staying here again in the near future!

-Our first time to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, what a lovely vacation! Had a great time relaxing on the beach and exploring downtown Fernandina. Thank you for sharing your cozy home with us. We can't wait to come back.

- Thank you! so much for the last minute rental of "Turtle Haven" !!! Perfect, it was cozy, comfy, and beachy!!! It was perfect for a much needed slow down, recharge getaway. Be blessed.

- Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cute condo for the weekend. It was exactly what we needed. The balcony is beautiful and had us at a loss for words. We had a great time and would love to return in the future.

- What a sweet, wonderful place. We have so enjoyed out time here. Best balcony and beach access we have ever had staying on the beach. Amelia in October ♥♥♥ Lord willing, our family will return to this exact place again.

- Thank you for the wonderful condo. The weather was perfect. We loved sitting on the balcony and looking at the beautiful ocean. The place is adorable and very comfortable. We hope to stay again.

- T and I had a wonderful wee here with our dog Holly, who loved the beach! Great weather and great food (Cucina South and Salt Life) are both awesome. Downtown Fernandina Beach is great. Don't miss the tasting room at Marlin and Barrel. Hostess Shannon is awesome!

- We had a fabulous time here at Turtle Haven! The condo was so cute and comfortable. Of course the view is AMAZING! So calming and beautiful. We fell in love with Amelia Island and plan to come back next year. The condo is so well stocked too! Thanks for everything. -MB, Atlanta

- We loved it! My 40th class reunion was a blast and you made it complete! We will be back.

- We love your place! Perfect for our family of four. Loved the view, falling asleep to waves crashing! We ate in almost every day as kitchen was so well appointed!
Picked up fresh fish and shrimp from Atlantic Seafood. Loved the little downtown. Best brussels sprouts anywhere at Amelia Tavern! Biking is amazing, great parks and playgrounds. Hope to be back soon!

- Thank you! It has been a trip we will never forget.The beach was great! Everyone is so nice. Best shrimp & Oysters at Salty Pelican! Also loved Salt Life Food Shack. Your condo is lovely and every need met.

- I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at Turtle Haven. The condo was wonderful, the view amazing, and the location was close to everything. We kept all our beach stuff in the car, so it was super easy to get it and be on the beach in seconds. The beach is pristine and not crowded at all. We love that it is dog-friendly and enjoyed watching other peoples dogs, (having no desire to bring our own to the beach). We had wonderful meals at the Salty Pelican and the Sand Bar. We drove to Jacksonville to visit some breweries, (Intuition and Aardwolf) which were both very good! We also did a tasting at the Marlin & Barrel distillery on the island and brought home some of their bourbon and vodka. We enjoyed walking around the downtown Fernandina Beach area with all the cute shops and historic homes. We went to Fort Clinch as well. It is such a beautiful park and the Fort is absolutely amazing. We were awestruck at the workmanship of each building and all the historic furnishings and artifacts inside them.
We are already talking about coming back next year! Thank you for your lovely place and all the thoughtful touches that made it feel like home.

- Thank you so much for a great winter escape! We feel so at home in your lovely place! We love that we can hear the waves and see the sun rise from our bed. Exploring the island by bike is another thing we like to do - to town and even to Talbot Island by bike path. And of course, beach walks! What a great place to make special memories!

- Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! We had a wonderful week. We look forward to hopefully staying with you again in June. Thank you again and Happy New Year!

- Our stay was awesome! The beach/view is gorgeous. We had a very relaxing time and look forward to a return. We enjoyed downtown and supported all the dog-friendly restaurants... The beach is beautiful and unspoiled, people are very friendly, and Izzy made a lot of new friends. This trip was just what the doctor ordered.

Older property but well kept. The nicest balcony ever! Gorgeous view. Saw dolphins every day! The only drawback, though quite manageable is there is just one bathroom.... We'll be back. Also very close to the shopping district with many restaurants and great shops.

Great Stay in Fernandina Beach
The property itself is great (covered parking, direct access to the beach, elevators and luggage cart). This unit has incredible views of the beach and a huge balcony to enjoy coffee in the morning and a night cap in the evening. It is spacious, clean and comfortable. Location of the unit is excellent - a short walk to a few restaurants (one directly on the beach) and about a 40-50min walk to downtown. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

The condo is very convenient and we love it because it is right on the beach. This isn't our first time staying here and we will be back. The furniture is a little tired and the water pressure could be a little stronger, but having a private balcony right on the beach and a kitchen so well equipped makes up the difference. It's also nice having an ice maker. We love this unit because it's very quiet and just perfect for the two of us, even though it would accomodate more than two. The king bed is very comfy too.

Despite the weather, our stay was sunny!
This was our first beach vacation as a family with our 1 1/2 year old. The location was perfect and being right on the beach was absolutely necessary having a little one. Each sunny day we spent our time looking for seashells and building sandcastles. On rainy mornings and afternoons, we’d head to the cute downtown. We were very impressed with Fernandina Beach and our rental had everything we needed to be comfortable. We’ll be back!

Fall Trip
First trip with our new dog. She did very well and the property was well set up for this. View from balcony was EXCELLENT! The condo was very comfortable. Washer/dryer were older but worked fine. Very comfy bed. A little more water pressure would have been deluxe for the shower, but certainly workable. The unit owner was very helpful with pet info. Great trip!

Ocean view
This is our second time here. The view of the ocean from the balcony is fabulous! It’s close enough to the water so that you can easily hear the surf. We’re happy they allow dogs on the beach. We had a minor technical issue and Micheal was very responsive in helping us rectify the situation. The cleaning service does a very good job. We’ll be back.

Oceanfront View with a Rainbow
We had a great stay! The oceanfront view is amazing! I loved how easy it was to get onto the beach to walk. It was a short 5 minute drive to the historic district which is fun to walk around. The kitchen is very well stocked. We like to cook- so that was appreciated! The masterbed was comfortable and the ocean view from the room with the big windows was a treat! We had a great visit and appreciate your property! (we saw a full rainbow on one of our days)

Right on the beach
Great location and ocean view, looks better in the pictures than actuality. The living room furniture needs to be replaced it is worn out and not comfortable. The fixture in the bathtub shower needs to be replaced difficult to turn on and off. Everything else was very good, it was clean, and no odors, bed was comfortable.

Go ahead and make the decision: rent this place
The owner, Michael, is thoughtful, attentive and very responsive. The unit is oceanfront with amazing views and our time was quiet except for the sounds of the surf which we loved. Everything was clean, in great condition with a subtle design scheme. It’s a short drive to Historic Fernandina Beach (a quaint town of stores, restaurants and bakeries - be sure to go to Nana THERESA’s for your sweet tooth). I have already written about rebooking!!!

We had a lovely stay really enjoyed the sunsets , we had everything we needed ,if there was one thing I would like to see updated it would be the bathroom faucets really hard to use we’re in our 70s . We tossed a coin for our bedrooms my friend won however on the third morning the little slip rugs by the bed caused her to fall , she was ok and no real damage thank goodness a bit of bruising apart from that everything was great hopefully will visit again ,it’s a lovely area

Quick Get-away
This is an adorable little condo with a great view. I did not give it a 5 out of 5 stars as it was not quite as clean as I was expecting from the previous reviews. It is surface clean, but needs a really good deep clean. The refrigerator needed to be wiped out and the linens were old and stained and/or frayed. The sheets on the king bed I thought had not been changed so I washed them, but they were just badly stained. We are use to staying in short term rentals so this was a real disappointment. The condo could use some updating we paid top dollar, but then that may have been for the view. We did enjoy our stay, it is very comfortable and a great location being close to the historic downtown and a walk over the boardwalk to the beach. The owner is wonderful to deal with, but be aware that although it says pets considered, my impression was they do not really want pets! The did approve out little Yorkie and she was very well behaved as we expected. The other condo's within this complex had dogs as well. and the beach is dog friendly.
