We are an Iowa couple (semi-retired educators at Marshalltown Community College) who fell in love with Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach; we know you will too!

You will also love our condominium villa at Amelia Landings Resort. It is nestled in a very secluded, oak-lined, serene setting. Yet, you are a five- to ten-minute walk to a public access on beautiful Amelia Island beach!

A short, private drive leads you to our building, and there is ample parking. Extra parking for boats, trailers available--just ask.

Our villa is on the second floor of a three-story building. (Unfortunately, there is not an elevator in the building, so our condo is not handicapped accessible.)

You spoke-we listened! We have maintained the SAME RATES FOR OVER 10 YEARS!! We we have also continued to provide discounts for senior (55+) and military (active, former, retired, reserve, guard, and even dependent) guests. No proof is needed for either category. Just tell us--if we can't believe our seniors and our military men and women, who can we trust!!

We are are now taking reservations for the entire year:
-- The POPULAR spring and summer (March-July): Upper Rate Season
-- The BEAUTIFUL fall (August-October): Medium Rate Season
-- The PEACEFUL winter (November-February): Lower Rate Season

We love any time of the year on Amelia Island, and so will you, but spring, early summer, and the fall periods are our favorites!

Updates every year! Over the last several years we have:
-- replaced kitchen and laundry appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, disposal, washer/dryer)
-- put new mattresses in both the Master Bedroom (Queen Beautyrest) and the Guest Bedroom (Twin KingKoil)
-- remodeled the kitchen (Feb 2013) (new cabinets, counter tops, sink, faucet, range hood and microwave)
-- added Paula Deen cookware to the kitchen
--removed carpeting and installed wood flooring (11mm laminate) with extra sound dampening insulation
-- purchased new living room, bedroom, and balcony furniture
--removed wallpaper and painted all surfaces (Feb, 2015)
-- installed larger flat-screen television in the LR and updated guest BR TV (Jan, 2015)
--replaced balcony light/fan combination (Feb, 2015)
--Replaced the entire A/C and Heating system, including premium user-operated temperature control (Mar 2015)
--added new art and rearranged the pieces to better fit the decor
--added an extra-padded liner for the living room sleeper couch
-- slowly built a collection of books, DVDs, and CD's. (You may wish to bring your family favorites--our collection is still small! We love it when guests contribute to our "Little Library"!)

Our condo in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island can be your central point for travels to Savannah, Atlanta, Charleston, St. Mary's and Cumberland Islands (see wild horses here!), the attractions in Orlando, NASA and the Cape, Cocoa Beach (you must go to the legendary Ron Jon's Surf Shop!), Daytona Beach, Jacksonville, historic St. Augustine, and much, much more. Cruises depart from Jacksonville and Cape Canaveral

We look forward to welcoming you to our Amelia Landings condo. Send us an email to receive a no-obligation offer for your stay!

Additional information about rental rates

Fees:

  • Refundable Damage Deposit $100
  • Cleaning $75 + tax
  • Tax Rate 11%

Notes:

NOTE 1: If you can find a "Black Hole" in our calendar--2 to 6 open nights with bookings on either side--We will let you have those nights for 25 percent off the stated rate!! (All the open nights must be reserved; no other discounts will apply.)

NOTE 2: If you are a senior (55+) or have ANY military affiliation (active, former, retired, reserve, dependent, Guard, etc.), we will give you 10 percent off the nightly, weekly, or monthly rate!!

NOTE 3: We have kept these same low rates in our Amelia Island condos since 2007--one of the best bargains on the Island! Our cleaning cost has increased only $10 since 2007!

NOTE 4: Historically, we have gotten absolutely wonderful guests in our condo and they take great care of our place! (Our "No Pets" and "No smoking" policies have really helped also!). We have recently dropped the damage/loss deposit rate from $200 to $100. Here is why: We do think a damage deposit is a good business practice, but we have had to keep a portion of the deposit money only ONCE in all these years since 2005! Here's the story: A young child of one of our guests locked herself in the guest bedroom, and her daddy had to force the door open to "rescue" her! In doing so, the door frame suffered some damage. He wanted to pay for the whole repair, but we talked him and to paying only half. Kids come before dollars, don't you think?

NOTE 5: On your second and subsequent stay in either of our condos, we will provide a 5 percent discount in addition to any other discount, e.g., Military or Senior!

NOTE 6: After six visits, you qualify for a "Tony Award" (named after our very first guest), and you will receive up to one free week during your seventh visit!! We know of no other owner on the Island making this offer!! (PESKY DETAILS: You will have to pay the Cleaning Fee and the 11 Percent Tax on the cleaning fee. The free week must be taken at one time, not over several visits. You may add more nights to your stay at the published seasonal rates.)

Owner's cancellation policy:

50% refund for cancellations more than 7 days before check-in date.

100% refund for cancellations more than 14 days before check-in date.

Owner info

Year Purchased: 2005

About the owner: Welcome to our vacation home! We live in Marshalltown, Iowa, and we are both retired from the Iowa Valley Community College District in Marshalltown, where Linda was a Library Supervisor and Bob was a Professor of Psychology. We both continue to teach psychology classes part time, and Bob is a part-time marriage counselor at a local counseling center. Linda has two adult sons, one in Mason City, IA, and one in Long Beach, CA. 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 (we call her our gift grand daughter!). When we are not traveling to see kids, we spend a lot of time (and our children's inheritance) on house renovation, both in Marshalltown and on our condo. We also love to travel and have in the past few years been to Holland, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Key West, and Cuba. We recently cruised in the Bahamas, departing from Cape Canaveral, FL.

Why the Owner Chose Fernandina Beach, FL, USA:
Since we have daughters and grandkids living in the Orlando and Charleston areas, we wanted a place roughly half way between the two locations. Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island is just perfect for us! We winter in the condo and rent it out the remainder of the year.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
All the comforts of a (ok, small, 800 SF) home, at rates that will surprise you! Senior and military discounts, return visitor discount, a free one-week stay after six stays with us, and occasional 'surprise specials' such as our amazing '25% Black Hole' special--just ask!
