The gated Amelia Island Plantation (AIP) community is a beloved 1,340-acre paradise that is surrounded by maritime forests, tidal salt marshes and pristine, sandy beaches. Dining, shopping, and spa services are offered at the Omni Amelia Island Resort, located within the AIP.
Golf is also available within the AIP at Oak Marsh and Little Sandy, as well as multiple other great courses on the island. Tee times can be scheduled online.
Nearby, bike and golf carts can be rented to explore the larger community and venture to community playgrounds like Drummond Park and Aury Island. Many of our guests most enjoy strolling on the beach or along the AIP's miles of shaded walking and biking trails.
For those looking to explore further afield, the scenic drive north on A1A will take you to the charming Fernandina Beach Historic District to enjoy the unique boutiques, shops and dining options. Drive south on A1A to visit the Talbot Islands, nature preserves known for gentle hiking and excellent birding opportunities.
As part of this rental, a custom digital guidebook is provided with thorough property information and our local area guide sharing favorite restaurants, attractions, and more!

Many thanks for your recommendation of our Turtle Dunes villa! We love to hear that our guests had a great time and enjoyed the property! Please visit us again!
Excellent property and experience. The only slight area for improvement would be clarity on directions at checkin. As cautioned, navigation gets you sideways in a hurry. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us! We are happy to hear you found our oceanfront Turtle Dunes Villa to be top-notch. Yes, referring to the written driving directions that our team sends out is critical for initial navigation to the property. As it says, "DO NOT only rely on GPS! Make sure to refer to these directions." We certainly don't want our guests arriving to their vacation with any confusion or stress. So thanks for making that recommendation to other travelers. We hope you will return again soon!
We had a fabulous stay and plan to return! Turtle Dunes did not disappoint, and the condo was just perfect for our needs.

The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful view and great location to pool and beach access so worked well with kids. Only negative was that the confo is last one in the property so takes awhile to get to it once you go thru security gate. Restaurants are longer drive if you want to eat off the Omni resort spots. Overall great condo and experience

Fabulous! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful views. Yes, the Turtle Dunes community is the furthest south within the gated Amelia Island Plantation, however it's privacy, gorgeous pool, and peaceful beaches are unmatched! We're so happy your family made some new core memories with us and we hope you can come again soon!
We have stayed at this condo twice. We love it’s comfortable living and close proximity to the beach. It’s conveniently located close to grocery stores and restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay at Turtle Dunes! It was beautiful and a short easy walk to the beach or pool.
Our condo was perfect and beautiful. We enjoyed watching the dolphins everyday and taking long walks on the beach. We loved that the beach was not crowded and enjoyed the peacefulness each day. We would love to return!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us! I just love when the dolphins are playing right outside the condo! They really are so much fun to watch. It really does feel like you have your own little portion of the beach, even during the busiest of seasons. We look forward to your next visit to Amelia Island!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful Turtle Dunes/Amelia Island condo. It had everything we needed and the beds were extremely comfortable, which we consider important to us. We loved the ground floor location since we brought our pet, and it was lovely being steps from the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved staying here and immediately booked next year. Clean, comfortable with many amenities. We had a great TV, comfortable bed, nice shower and bathroom, beautiful views, nice patios, friendly neighbors, very dog friendly. Not so good is the bathtub drain and the kitchen cabinets not the best.

You chose an excellent property for amazing views! We are happy that you enjoyed the spaciousness of this property, and sincerely apologize for your WiFi issues. We will check the internet connectivity at this unit to determine if any devices need replacing. We hope that those views will bring you back for a return visit!
We enjoyed this property. Being on the first floor with the large grassy area in front of us was very nice and good for our little dog. There is also a lot of outside covered space to enjoy, more than you would have on a balcony. The interior of the condo is a little tired but it definitely met our needs.

Thanks for being our guest and for taking the time to share about your stay! We're thrilled to read about your experience and agree that our condo's perfectly situated in Turtle Dunes, with extra outdoor living space and easy access to the beach, pool, and lawn. It was our privilege to host you and we are happy to report the owners are always making updates to their unit, so if you're able to come stay with us again you will likely notice those improvements too. We invite you back anytime!
We think this is a perfect location for anyone who wants to stay on the Amelia Plantation. Our unit was on the ground floor which gave us excellent accessibility. A short drive provided great dining and, of course, you can also take a little longer drive to downtown. All in all, we’d be happy to rent this property again. We did have a minor glitch with the door-lock code but that was taken care of quickly.

Thank you so much for the nice review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the condo and the great location. Our apologies on the couch - the owner recently added new furniture and we have updated the listing with that information and pictures. Thanks again and we look forward to having you back!
This was such a lovely condo and perfect for our short visit to Amelia Island! We loved being on the ground floor with such a beautiful front lawn just off the porch. Just steps from the pool and beach, this made it very convenient to run in and out without missing much fun time at the water! We had everything we needed in the condo for cooking and entertainment. I will definitely be booking 1806 Turtle Dunes again! Thank you to the wonderful owners for such a beautiful place!

Thank you for this review, mentioning the cleanliness and quality of the condo. Being so close to this great beach, and having a nice pool, are definite pluses!
Roomy, well appointed and beach access was outstanding
Difficulty with front door lock was a distraction
Primary uncertainly is details of pricing. Started out at less than $4000, but ended up at $5000. Difference was several separate undefined taxes and add on fees. Did not find nearly as much add one on other units in this complex. Seemed like just added items to increase total amount
We would be interested in renting same time next year for two or more weeks, but not without understanding the tax and fees
