Below I will describe our penthouse and reference some of Amelia Island's treasures. However, the collective wisdom of all our prior guests does much better job of capturing what we offer and highlighting Amelia’s charms. Please reference the guest comments towards the bottom of this website for lots of helpful recommendations on fun things to see and do while vacationing on Amelia.
Welcome to our gorgeous, extensively remodeled, oceanfront villa! Kick up your feet and live large in this penthouse with two completely private master suites complimented by their own oceanfront verandas and panoramic coastline views. Virtually every room of this exquisite Amelia Island beachfront penthouse offers breathtaking 180 degree ocean views spanning the entire coastline. Throughout the penthouse you will enjoy the scent, sight and sound of the waves lapping the shoreline.
The penthouse comes equipped with:
* Free high-speed internet service, both wired & wireless
* Private oversized Whirlpool Jacuzzi tub for two
* 42" 1080p Plasma HDTV
* Sony Vega flat screen TV
* CD players in each of the suites
* DVD player

This unique, newly remodeled villa features an oversized Whirlpool Jacuzzi tub made for two with a spectacular ocean view. Indulge yourself in a relaxing jetted tub with someone you love, while you both take in the ocean's beauty.
Cool off in any of the resort’s four crystal clear pools. Tennis anyone? There are four clay courts on the grounds and a professional tennis pro to help you get into the swing. Head out for a round of golf on the award winning neighboring courses. Perhaps just sit back, relax and gaze out the windows to watch the dolphins play and the horses stride gracefully along the beach.
Pamper yourself on a new king-sized, pillow top mattress that will rock you to sleep in-between luxurious 1000 thread count, Egyptian cotton sheets. Enjoy the privacy of two master suites. Each oceanfront suite has its own remodeled full bath complimented by granite countertops, new commodes and custom-made cabinetry. We paid attention to every detail. The recessed lighting can be dimmed to create that romantic mood, while the remote controlled ceiling fans and lights can be operated from the comfort of your beds.
This Amelia Surf and Racquet Club penthouse offers substantial upgrades, uncommon to vacation rentals. Enjoy the gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops imported from Spain. The kitchen also offers a spectacular coastline view so that the chefs in the family can look upon ocean for their culinary inspiration. There is an assortment of kitchen small appliances including: food processor, waffle maker, wok, rice maker, blender, mixer, hot & iced tea maker, automatic juicer, etc. to enhance your culinary adventures.
Save your cell phone minutes this vacation. All of your long distance and local calls are free. There are cordless handsets in each bedroom and the living room. Additionally we offer complimentary, unlimited international calling to Canada, Puerto Rico, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the UK.
Perhaps you would enjoy exploring the unspoiled beauty of Amelia Island State Park, home to many rare wild birds and some of the best fishing grounds in Florida. Cast your line off of the park’s mile long, pedestrian only bridge which straddles Nassau Sound. Saddle up and ride along the beach atop the gentle, well-trained horses from the park’s own Seahorse Ranch; one of the few places in the country where you can experience the romance of horseback riding on the beach all year long. The penthouse is a short beach walk from the Ritz Carlton where you can enjoy free live music, dancing, exquisite dining and a luxurious spa.
Beyond the beach, Amelia Island is renowned for its beautiful greens. For the golf enthusiast, you may wish to book your tee time at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club which offers 27 of Florida’s finest holes and a full-service clubhouse and restaurant.
Are you fatigued by the typical vacation rental that has signs of wear and tear, soiled carpets and partial ocean views? Isn’t time that your hard earned dollars went further and rewarded you with a truly restorative vacation? If so, welcome to our well loved, well appointed Amelia Island Oasis. You deserve it.

The Simpson Family from Washington, Michigan enjoyed their stay immensely! We had a great time playing tennis, golfing and laying around the pool. The beach can do wonders to your spirit!! Despite the first few days of cold weather, things turned around to make it another wonderful trip to Amelia Island. Thank you for the use of your beautiful place, it had everything we needed!

We had a marvelous time in Amelia and your home was a perfect retreat. The weather was spectacular and we were treated to a wonderful fireworks display (wedding at the Ritz) on our last night. Deah was great to work with and the overall experience exceeded our expectations! Thanks again.

Brigid your home is lovely; it is everything you promised it to be, and more. The sunrises are spectacular - the view, the best here on Amelia Island. We enjoyed some awesome food at the Beech Street Grill and Brett Waterfront Cafe. The music and laid back atmosphere at DownUnder was fun. What a joy for us to share some time here at the beginning of the week with our beautiful granddaughter. We will always have great memories of them playing in the sand and all the seashells we collected. Our son and daughter in-law enjoyed their lovely guest suite.

After much deliberation we decided to make Amelia Island the site for our honeymoon, and we couldn’t be happier with the decision. We loved waking up to the sounds of the beach and the beautiful views from the condo. We had massages the Plantation. We went horse back riding on the beach with Kelly’s Seahorse Ranch. We went on an amazing day trip with Kayak of Amelia. Our favorite restaurant was Luigi’s Italian Trattoria in Fernandina Beach. We had a blast and can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful condo. The weather was perfect and we so enjoyed the beach. Loved the “Gourmet, Gourmet” and “Down Under” restaurants, especially the shrimp. Also loved the tile work and marble in the condo, lots of thought went into planning. Looking forward to returning soon.

We have truly enjoyed our stay in your condo. The view is awesome! The weather was just right. We enjoyed long walks on the beach. The wedding we attended at Amelia Island Plantation was beautiful. Thanks again for sharing your home away from home with us. The only thing missing in the condo is a TV in each bedroom.

WOW, what a view! We loved watching the sunrise in the mornings from our beds. We came for a week of R&R and we got it. The weather was beautiful and the beach a paradise. Your condo was exceptional and every touch thought of.
