SeaView is located on a stunning stretch of unspoiled beach, next to the Omni Hotel in the amazing Amelia Island Plantation, minutes away from a full scale grocery store. The thoughtful attention to details makes this oceanfront home a special place for you and your guest.

Only a few steps to the beach, oceanfront pool(pictured) and the Sunken Forest, an amazing look-out site. Many of the walking/bike trails through the Resort are under the tree canopies, shaded for your comfort. In the Resort is a mini golf course, Little Sandy golf, corn hole, massive chess and checkers board, ping pong, great restaurants, a Spa, bike, kayak, paddleboard and golf cart rentals and Segway and kayak tours. All just a short walk from the condo. There is also a lovely Chapel in the resort with Sunday services. And of course, amazing Centre Street in downtown Fernandina Beach is 7 miles away!

We think you will find that this location is ideal. You can park your car and never need to get in it again until it's time to depart. However, if you do choose to explore more your options are endless. In the resort itself there are many private parks and playgrounds. The Drummond Point Park on the river side of the resort offers free Ping Pong, Pickleball Courts (we have rackets for your use), Basketball Court, Playgrounds and Pétanque Courts. At Drummond Park you'll also find boardwalks that meander out along the salt marsh giving you an amazing vista where you may see great blue herons, egrets or some of the many other water birds that inhabit this area. Visit Walkers Landing and enjoy viewing the beautiful Walkers Creek which is the perfect spot for fishing or just enjoying an amazing sunset.


**Please be advised this property is not rented thru the Omni Hotel and does not give you access the main Omni hotel pool, fitness center or shuttle service. The Omni Racquet Park is available for paid tennis and pickleball clinics or private lessons. The pool for your use is the one in the photos.

As you may already be aware from our hundreds of 5 star reviews, we are known for having a sparkling clean, comfortable vacation home. Together with our staff we manage every detail for you to insure a clean and relaxing seaside stay.

**We also offer a Beach Suite with no kitchen for shorter stays VRBO#1052482.

Best stay ever

If you are like me and you endlessly search and compare properties when you are traveling somewhere, let me save you time and searching and just book this you will not be disappointed. My husbsnd and I have stayed in many rentals over the years, but this rental was perfect and everything matched the pictures and description. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and loved our stay. Maggie and Norm were very communicative and responsive. We loved the resort and all of the attractions within 20 minutes. We cannot wait to return!

Beautiful, it was a great time.

This whole area is GORGEOUS, with really fun bike trails and friendly people. The unit itself - bed is extremely comfortable with excellent linens, all the chairs and couch are nice to sit on, the provided beach towels felt absolutely luxurious. they provided folding chairs that we took out on the sand, and binoculars at the condo. Freezer was full of ice. Oceanfront balcony is double the size of most, and you can see bunnies hopping around downstairs in the evenings from it too!

Stunning views, beautiful property

I can't say enough good things about this property. From the second you walk through the door you're captivated by the beautiful decor and stunning views of the ocean. The owners provide everything you need (and then some) for your vacation, inclusive of a magnifying make-up mirror and curling iron. You'll also sleep well in the comfortable king bed. The resort has trails to walk, shops and restaurants (I recommend Falcons Nest)- you really don't need to leave if you don't want to. We would love a return trip some day!

Anniversary Trip

My wife and I stayed at this location for our 10 year anniversary, we had a fantastic time. We ate wonderful food, cooked some fresh shrimp, and enjoyed some fresh fish we caught from the beach! The shark teeth hunting was a blast and we found several to take home to our children as souvenirs! We kayaked, golfed, and visited several state parks in a few short days. We would recommend this for adults or your whole family! The property has lots to offer and we barely scratched the surface

About the host

Hosted by Maggie and Norm Owners of VRBO#1050002 and #1052482.

Host profile image
We love hosting our guests and offering them a wonderful experience. Our goal is to make a beautiful, clean and comfortable home for you at the beach, to think of as yours and to return to often. We live a few blocks away and will assist you with any details during your stay.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like the Amelia Isalnd Plantation Resort for the best vacation ever! There are many walking paths, bike paths and golf courses in this Audubon International Sanctuary.

Amelia Island is well loved by travelers and is listed in the book, “1,000 Places To See Before You Die,” describing how past and present co-exist with some of the choicest and most pristine beaches along the Florida coast.

Making Amelia Island our island home was an easy decision based on all the wonderful things to do in the area. When we saw this villa we knew we could turn it into a special vacation place and we think we have. We hope you thinks so too.

What makes this property unique

The condo is located in a lush coastal hammock forest and sand dunes. The developers left much of the tree canopies intact, to give a wonderful feeling of privacy and serenity. Located in the Plantation, in a natural setting with large live oak trees and Spanish Moss on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, close to the Intracoastal Waterway. A secure gated resort filled with many amenities, recreation and relaxation! Just steps south of Sandcastles Villas is a shaded boardwalk leading to the Sunken Forest, which provides various high vantage points for viewing wildlife and photography of the beaches and beyond. Also located within the resort are salt marshes and parks which are great for kayaking, fishing, picnicking, playgrounds and grilling. Not to be missed are the beautiful marsh view sunsets in Walkers Landing and Drummond Point. These parks on the river side of the Plantation offer free Ping Pong, Pickle Ball Courts, Basketball Court and Petanque Court. For longer bike rides there are bike trails outside the resort that connect Amelia Island with Talbot Island.

Amelia Island is 13 miles long and between one and 2.5 miles wide, on the northeastern corner of Florida. Fernandina Beach is a delightful Victorian seaport village with art galleries, shopping, great restaurants, bars and a history museum, about a 15 minute drive away. There are Florida State Parks on both the north and south ends of the island. The north one is Fort Clinch, which is a historical fort in a wonderful natural environment for walking and a interesting historical place to visit. The southern side of the island has Bone Yard beach, horseback riding, kayaking and is a fishing paradise.

Jacksonville International Airport and Cruise Ship Terminals are about 30-45 minutes away.
