Overall a nice place, great location for getting to the beach or pool quickly and easily. Very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of amenities. The check in/out process was very easy! The starter amount of tp, dishwasher/ laundry pods and trash bags was enough to last us the week. The rental mgr was very quick to respond to any inquiries/issues.
I do suggest you bring a white noise machine if you are a light sleeper, you can hear the people above you/out on the walkway, like at a hotel.
A few things to know before renting this condo: this is a humongous resort property that stretches along the beach, and Turtle Dunes is the very last building. It is not a walkable distance to get to shops or town, although you can rent bikes or golf carts to get around inside the resort. The little area within the resort that has shops and restaurants is cute (the shops are mostly boutiques), my family liked Natural Slice (pizza), Falcons Nest and Marche (ice cream, pastries, breakfast). They had live music each night over the 4th. The best place we ate was The Salty Pelican in downtown Fernandina Beach!! It was recommended by a local and did not disappoint. The hotel at the front of the resort is beautiful, they had a huge 4th of July party with free glow sticks and a DJ. You cannot use the hotel pool or shuttle service if you are not a hotel guest. The parking at the condo is limited, and the overflow lot is very far away! They have a couple luggage carts to help bring up your stuff, only one elevator but it is pretty fast. **There is no on site beach chair rental, it is a company in town (Riptide). I highly suggest you call and set up your beach chair rental in advance. (Or go to WalMart and buy a couple $35 chairs and save some $$$ like we did. We left the chairs there, hopefully they still are!)**
The beach is almost completely covered in shells! I’ve never seen anything like it. I found 2 intact sand dollars and my husband found several shark teeth. We took a sunset cruise with Amelia River Cruises, and it was wonderful! We just happened to get to see a submarine being guided in to port. We also saw a few dolphin. Amazing!
Again, overall a nice condo in a nice location. Great beach, decent pool.
