Turtle Haven Amelia - Oceanfront, Huge Balcony, Top Floor Views, Steps To Beach
Truly right on the beach. Top Floor (4th level, with elavator). This condo is all about proximity and the full condo-width balcony (25') that immerses you in the ocean’s presence. The feel & views are great from the top floor. With coffee on the balcony, watch the sunrise, ocean waves, and sea life unobstructed from your own perch on the beach. An ideal couple’s retreat. (*see notes below*)
If you're looking for relaxation, peace and quiet with easy access to everything you might need, you've found the place. Designed for the ultimate chill if you love being near the ocean. Balcony is also covered providing a cooling shade midday onward.
Amelia Island and the quaint, historic downtown of Fernandina Beach, is easy-going. Plenty of restaurants and shopping downtown and elsewhere both on and off the island. Nearby Ft. Clinch is great for hike/bike/walk/drive and where you can see Florida's natural beauty.
See our great reviews. We pride ourselves on providing a convenient and accommodating vacation experience.

From our guestbook:
- Just the perfect place - great beach access, close to restaurants, easy to get around. Condo is thoughtfully and generously supplied, and we so much appreciated being trusted with those "extras". Hope to be back soon
- Thank you for sharing Turtle Haven with us for the week! We celebrated our 39th anniversary. Absolutely loved everything. Such a pleasure to walk out the door to the ocean. We rented bikes and rode Egans parkway to Ft Clinch. Visited several places in the historic district. Espana, AIBC Brewing, Sandbar were fantastic! Already planning our return trip!
- Waves and sunrise were soul awakening. Truly religious!
- Loved it and the views. Will definitely be back.
-This condo is a treasure! The balcony and it's beautiful view, as well as the ease of getting to the water were our favorite parts, but I have to say I've never stayed in such a well-kept and clean rental. Thank you for that!! The boat tour to Cumberland is a must. We saw so many dolphins and wild horses!
-What a great fantastic week at your cozy condo with a gorgeous sunrise! Wish we could have stayed longer.
-Three "50ish" friends trip was a blast. It's a beautiful location and we loved the convenience of parking (although a little tedious at times) and the short walk to the beach. We're dog lovers, so we loved seeing all the dogs on the beach. The condo is great with all the amenities needed. This was our first time on Amelia Island and we were not disappointed. We want to bring our husbands next time!!
-great location - peaceful, but short walk to festivities!
-We loved the beautiful view from the deck and the privacy on this side of the beach. You provided everything anyone would need but since we brought our own supplies we can pay it forward to the next lucky renters!
-Again thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. We look forward to staying here again in the near future!
-Our first time to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, what a lovely vacation! Had a great time relaxing on the beach and exploring downtown Fernandina. Thank you for sharing your cozy home with us. We can't wait to come back.
- Thank you! so much for the last minute rental of "Turtle Haven" !!! Perfect, it was cozy, comfy, and beachy!!! It was perfect for a much needed slow down, recharge getaway. Be blessed.
- Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cute condo for the weekend. It was exactly what we needed. The balcony is beautiful and had us at a loss for words. We had a great time and would love to return in the future.
- What a sweet, wonderful place. We have so enjoyed out time here. Best balcony and beach access we have ever had staying on the beach. Amelia in October ♥♥♥ Lord willing, our family will return to this exact place again.
- Thank you for the wonderful condo. The weather was perfect. We loved sitting on the balcony and looking at the beautiful ocean. The place is adorable and very comfortable. We hope to stay again.
- T and I had a wonderful wee here with our dog Holly, who loved the beach! Great weather and great food (Cucina South and Salt Life) are both awesome. Downtown Fernandina Beach is great. Don't miss the tasting room at Marlin and Barrel. Hostess Shannon is awesome!
- We had a fabulous time here at Turtle Haven! The condo was so cute and comfortable. Of course the view is AMAZING! So calming and beautiful. We fell in love with Amelia Island and plan to come back next year. The condo is so well stocked too! Thanks for everything. -MB, Atlanta
- We loved it! My 40th class reunion was a blast and you made it complete! We will be back.
- We love your place! Perfect for our family of four. Loved the view, falling asleep to waves crashing! We ate in almost every day as kitchen was so well appointed! Picked up fresh fish and shrimp from Atlantic Seafood. Loved the little downtown. Best brussels sprouts anywhere at Amelia Tavern! Biking is amazing, great parks and playgrounds. Hope to be back soon!
- Thank you! It has been a trip we will never forget.The beach was great! Everyone is so nice. Best shrimp & Oysters at Salty Pelican! Also loved Salt Life Food Shack. Your condo is lovely and every need met.
- I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at Turtle Haven. The condo was wonderful, the view amazing, and the location was close to everything. We kept all our beach stuff in the car, so it was super easy to get it and be on the beach in seconds. The beach is pristine and not crowded at all. We love that it is dog-friendly and enjoyed watching other peoples dogs, (having no desire to bring our own to the beach). We had wonderful meals at the Salty Pelican and the Sand Bar. We drove to Jacksonville to visit some breweries, (Intuition and Aardwolf) which were both very good! We also did a tasting at the Marlin & Barrel distillery on the island and brought home some of their bourbon and vodka. We enjoyed walking around the downtown Fernandina Beach area with all the cute shops and historic homes. We went to Fort Clinch as well. It is such a beautiful park and the Fort is absolutely amazing. We were awestruck at the workmanship of each building and all the historic furnishings and artifacts inside them. We are already talking about coming back next year! Thank you for your lovely place and all the thoughtful touches that made it feel like home.
- Thank you so much for a great winter escape! We feel so at home in your lovely place! We love that we can hear the waves and see the sun rise from our bed. Exploring the island by bike is another thing we like to do - to town and even to Talbot Island by bike path. And of course, beach walks! What a great place to make special memories!
- Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! We had a wonderful week. We look forward to hopefully staying with you again in June. Thank you again and Happy New Year!
- Our stay was awesome! The beach/view is gorgeous. We had a very relaxing time and look forward to a return. We enjoyed downtown and supported all the dog-friendly restaurants... The beach is beautiful and unspoiled, people are very friendly, and Izzy made a lot of new friends. This trip was just what the doctor ordered.

Location was great! Huge balcony, which is where spent most of our time. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Beds were comfortable. We would stay here again
The apartment is supper cozy, very well set up and decorated. The beds were absolutely super comfortable. Linens were soft, plenty towels for shower, kitchen fully supplied with pots, pans and utensils.
I would definitely book this place again
We've stayed here five or six times and are never disappointed. The condo is beautifully decorated and well-appointed, with extra towels and sheets and more than ample kitchen utensils, plates, etc. It's a home away from home with a terrific view!
Property is in a great location on the 3rd floor with balcony looking out at the ocean. The space is a bit dated and could use some fixing up but overall was a good place.
The condo was exactly as advertised. The beach is beautiful and we could either walk down the beach or hang out on our balcony and relax from there. Clean comfortable and easy to find.
We love staying in this complex. It's on the beach and we love the private balconies. The location is convenient to downtown and restaurants. Have never stayed in this unit previously but hope to for all future visits. We visit twice a year.
This place exceeded expectations. Kitchen so clean and well equipped - beachy cottage feel with beautiful linen and towel colors. Truly the most incredible aspect of this haven is the view- moon dances on the ocean and sunrises in the mornings - we are so fulfilled and rested. We rented bikes and rode all over taking in the nature and history that makes Amelia Island special. We hope to be back!
We enjoyed our stay in this condo! Tastefully decorated and well stocked kitchen. Beds were very comfortable. View was amazing! The host was very quick to respond to my questions. Perfect set up for my elderly mother. Beach access was a breeze!
This unit was ideal for us! The bed slept great and the air worked well! It rained everyday so we spent a lot of time inside. TV's were easy to operate and all appliances were working. We would stay here again!
Older property but well kept. The nicest balcony ever! Gorgeous view. Saw dolphins every day! The only drawback, though quite manageable is there is just one bathroom....
We'll be back. Also very close to the shopping district with many restaurants and great shops.
Awesome place. Nicely stocked. Great view. The tandem parking might be an issue when the place is full. We were there on a off week and did not have to share a parking spot.
We had a great time at Turtle Haven. Awesome view and location! Top floor and oceanfront doesn’t get any better. Bed was so comfortable. Kitchen had all we needed to cook. So very close to downtown and to Ft Clinch State Park of which we enjoyed both. Walked and ran on beach. Beautiful sunrises! Our hosts were quick to respond to our questions and needs. Will definitely come again.
Great location with a balcony view on the beach . If your looking for quite and ocean breeze with shopping and restaurants near . You got it all here . Condo had everything us (two) needed . Parking is tight but in all we would definitely come back. Thank you Michael for everything. Hector and Gail
Very clean condo and wonderful views from the balcony! Basically, the beach is right outside the condo. Great communication with the owner. There is no assigned parking space for the unit, but we did not have a problem getting a space.
First trip with our new dog. She did very well and the property was well set up for this. View from balcony was EXCELLENT! The condo was very comfortable. Washer/dryer were older but worked fine. Very comfy bed. A little more water pressure would have been deluxe for the shower, but certainly workable. The unit owner was very helpful with pet info. Great trip!
But there wasn’t really a good place to take my dog for bathroom breaks. Virtually no grass without very nasty sand spurs. So I wouldn’t recommend bringing a long haired dog. But the condo, host, view were all great!
This is our second time here. The view of the ocean from the balcony is fabulous! It’s close enough to the water so that you can easily hear the surf. We’re happy they allow dogs on the beach. We had a minor technical issue and Micheal was very responsive in helping us rectify the situation. The cleaning service does a very good job. We’ll be back.
The condo is very convenient and we love it because it is right on the beach. This isn't our first time staying here and we will be back. The furniture is a little tired and the water pressure could be a little stronger, but having a private balcony right on the beach and a kitchen so well equipped makes up the difference. It's also nice having an ice maker. We love this unit because it's very quiet and just perfect for the two of us, even though it would accomodate more than two. The king bed is very comfy too.
Great location and ocean view, looks better in the pictures than actuality. The living room furniture needs to be replaced it is worn out and not comfortable. The fixture in the bathtub shower needs to be replaced difficult to turn on and off. Everything else was very good, it was clean, and no odors, bed was comfortable.
