Many bike rental shops offer daily and weekly rentals for pedaling your way across this enchanted isle. Just south of Amelia Island is Little and Big Talbot Island State Parks, wonderful nature preserves with quiet coastal hiking trails and for spotting migrating birds.

We stayed for our 40th wedding anniversary and could not have asked for anything better. Location was great, got to wake up to a beautiful sunrise every morning, which you could see from the master bedroom, sunset wat right outside of the front door! The property was beautiful and quiet. This may be my new favorite place for vacation and possibly retirement.
Tastefully furnished and incredibly clean!
The fabulous view of the ocean, direct beach access, and the great location with amenities and nearby attractions made for an unforgettable getaway.
Highly recommend for anyone seeking a relaxing coastal retreat!

This property was wonderful! Very clean, updated, supplied household items needed including plenty of paper products. Communication was fast a friendly. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends staying in the area.
What a delightful week my sister and I had at Turtle Dunes on Amelia Island! It was our first visit, and we were so glad we stayed on the quiet and beautiful south end of the island! The condo was impeccable! Would definitely stay again!
This location was perfect for us - steps to the beach, which wasn't crowded at all. It was very peaceful here. Access to some wonderful restaurants and the Amelia Island Plantation is beautiful! Will definitely come back
My daughters and I enjoyed our stay so much. Access to the beach was very short and easy. The master bedroom (with the window seat) was in the perfect location to see the beautiful sunrises each morning. We will definitely book again.
