We are now taking reservations for the popular summer season (June-August). We love any time of the year on Amelia Island, and so will you, but "high season" in northeastern Florida can't be beat!
See our Availability Calendar and Rate Schedule below. Weekly stays are preferred, but we will discuss alternatives. Occasionally, last-minute deals are available, particularly in the off-season (September-February). DON'T FORGET TO ASK ABOUT OUR FORMER AND ACTIVE MILITARY OR SENIOR DISCOUNTS!

We are a Central Iowa (Marshalltown) couple who fell in love with Amelia Island and the city of Fernandina Beach; we know you will too!
You will also love our condominium at the Amelia Landings Resort. It is nestled in a very secluded, oak-lined, serene setting. Yet, you are a five- to ten-minute walk on a boardwalk to beautiful Amelia Island beach! Use the crosswalk at the corner of Sadler and Fletcher to a public access beach. Wooden decks, picnic area; water to wash the sand off your feet.
A short, private drive from the entrance to the Amelia Landings Resort leads you to our building, and there is ample parking. Our condo is on the second floor of a three-story building. (There are no elevators in the building so unfortunately it is not handicap accessible.)

We are only minutes by car from the beautiful city of Fernandina Beach, Fort Clinch State Park, the historic Amelia Island Lighthouse, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the Amelia Island Plantation (upscale shopping opportunity), excellent golf courses, horseback riding, sailing, and other great local attractions. We highly recommend a short evening drive to dockside in Fernandina Beach, where the sunset over the Amelia River is spectacular!

Why the Owner Chose Fernandina Beach
Since we have daughters and grand kids living in Orlando and the Charleston areas, we wanted a place roughly half way between the two locations. Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island is just perfect for us! We get down there when we can (2-3 times a year) and rent it out the remainder of the year.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium/Villa
We enjoy the beach, of course, but just as important to us is the great little town of Fernandina Beach. We never run out of new things to explore, learn about. This historic city and island has many surprises! We love having a drink on the dock and watching the sun set over the Amelia River. Walking and biking on the Island is always a pleasure. Each time we go we make new acquaintances and friends.
With our busy lives as administrators, teachers, counselors, we head to our "Island Home" to relax; the screened balcony on our condo overlooking the woods is where you may often find us!
Bob and Linda
A must see location for food and drink right on the ocean. Easy walk from condo.
Path is a combination of boardwalk and cochina shells. Takes about five minutes from this point to the beach.
Water to wash the sand off your feet; decks and seating area; picnic tables; no public restrooms at this location.
Historic Civil War site; docent led tours by character actors! Great place for biking, hiking.
Beautiful area on your way to Jacksonville, Mayport Naval Shipyard, docks, Jax beach, Historic St. Augustine
A 50-square-block area is on the Historic Register; museum; theater; shopping; art galleries; restaurants; bars; docks on Amelia River; fabulous sunsets!
Owner's Map of Fernandina Beach
We live in Marshalltown, Iowa, and we both work for Iowa Valley Community College District. Linda is a Library Supervisor, and Bob is the Project Director for Distance Learning for the District. We both also teach psychology classes, and Bob is a PT marriage counselor.
Linda has two adult sons, one in Mason City, IA, and one in St. Paul, MN. Bob has three adult daughters, two in Orlando, FL, and one on Daniel Island, SC. We have four wonderful grandsons and a super-duper step-granddaughter.
When we are not traveling to see kids, we spend a lot of time on house renovation (which is also why we are working beyond the "normal" retirement age!).

Homeowner Response:
Andrea, We were so happy to have you and your family return to our condo for the third year! Thank you so much for your continued business with us. Barbara Jean's was one of our earliest eating places when we "discovered" Amelia Island. We loved it too. Glad you found the chocolate store by Publix. What a great compliment to the ice cream and candy store downtown! See you next year! Bob and Linda

Jane & Adrian, Thank you for choosing our condo for your visit to America and Amelia Island. It was a pleasure having you as our guest for your 2-week stay. We do hope you consider us again if your travel takes you our way; tell your countrymen--we love having visitors from other countries! Bob and Linda

Lyndele , Charlottesville, VA
Homeowner Response:
Lyndele and Graham, We are so pleased that you had a great time in our condo. We do appreciate that you like our "homey touches." There is a fine line between comfortable hominess and overdoing it, so we are glad you approve. The pool is nice, we agree. We are often so busy when we get to use the condo that we can't really appreciate how nice it is. We like the A1A route also; one does have to allow for more time, though. It certainly much longer that way than down the Interstate to Amelia Island. (PS: These folks must like our place--they are asking about another week's stay this November!!) Bob and Linda

Keith Goodwin , Athens, GA

Homeowner Response:
Hi Jack and Mandy, What a very complete and thoughtful Guestbook entry! We are delighted you enjoyed yourself. Thanks for all those great tips on places to eat and play. We will have to get in touch with Debbie Mazer to let her know how much you enjoyed the horseback riding at her place. Your shark's teeth success is fantastic! We have been told by others that one of the best spots in Florida is on Fernandina Beach--your success suggests that is right! We hope you see you again next year. Bob and Linda

Mike Colombo , Rome, Ga.
Homeowner Response:
Mike and Family, We are really pleased that you liked our little oasis! We love that walk also, and we certainly agree that Sliders is a real treat. I suppose the beach is the main draw, but we have been surprised also that the great pool is sometimes not very occupied. Very peaceful place to relax, read, swim, sun. Please come back if you can.

Homeowner Response:
What a pleasure it was to have Mike and Linda as guests in our condo for a week's stay this month! They really enjoyed themselves, and we so much appreciate the kind comments. They told us in another correspondence how much they enjoyed our screened balcony. We agree--it is the first place we head when we arrive at the condo ourselves. We want you back, guys--just let us know when you want to return! Bob and Linda
