About this property

Fully Remodeled 5th-Floor Sandcastles Villa with Ocean Views!

Gorgeous ocean views are waiting for you at 241 Sandcastles in the Amelia Island Plantation! This 5th-floor, 1-bedroom oceanfront villa has undergone a complete remodel with no detail left untouched!

Enjoy all-new furnishings throughout and features like raised, smooth ceilings, recessed lighting, and granite counters in the open kitchen that overlooks the dining area and living room. The en-suite bedroom includes a luxurious king bed, TV, desk for remote workers, two updated vanities in the bathroom, plenty of storage, and direct access to the oceanfront balcony. There is also a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room and extra linens are provided.

From anywhere in the villa take in the stunning views and linger as long as you like on your private balcony. When you are ready, head to the beautifully updated complex pool or to the private beach access winding through the picturesque dunes. Between May and October keep your eyes peeled for nesting sea turtles on the beach (but be sure to keep your distance as they are locally and federally protected!) Perhaps you will spot dolphins, a migrating manatee, or one of our many shorebirds. The season for North Atlantic Right Whale activity starts in November and continues through March each year too. If you spot these, you've had the rare opportunity to see one of the world's most endangered species!

The gated 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 next door within the AIP.

Sandcastles Villas is one of the most popular rental destinations in AIP with 3.5 miles of sandy beaches right in its backyard. Cross the road to the walking/biking trails that weave for miles throughout the gated community and are an easy route to the old-Florida outdoor shopping village. This village has restaurants, boutiques, an art gallery, a nature center, and a luxury spa.

The socially-connected traveler will appreciate the complimentary high-speed wireless internet, and there is open parking for multiple cars in front of the unit. Bike and golf cart rentals are available nearby, and there are multiple golf courses close to this condo.

Note that the community laundry rooms are located on the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th floors (this condo is on the 5th floor.)

Please be advised that this property is privately owned and managed, and is not a rental through the Omni Amelia Island Resort. Our rental does not give you access to "resort privileges or amenities” like the Omni hotel pool, fitness center, and shuttle service. The Racquet Park tennis center allows lessons and clinics to be scheduled, but open play is limited to club members.

Island Paradise

This condo was great. It was clean and had all the comforts of home, along with a spectacular view of the ocean and sunrises from the deck. The location is perfect in the Omni Resort with restaurants, shopping, golf, and beautiful walking paths. It's like being on an Island resort.

Very Nice Condo in a Beautiful Community

My spouse and I visited friends in the area for a long weekend and were very pleased with the accommodations. The condo is located on the Omni Resort property and is in a convenient location if you're looking to explore Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island. The condo was nicely decorated and the beach front view is amazing. The property management team were helpful and shared all of the details we needed to enjoy our stay. Would definitely return when in the area again.

Love staying at Amelia Island Plantation

We have been coming to Amelia Island for years. The Plantation is such wonderful place because of the amenities and the location. This particular condo was in a perfect location close to the hotel and all the amenities. We rented bikes and a golf cart during our stay and were able to explore the resort. The pool area was being renovated but looked very nice. The beach walkway is super convenient as well. The condo was very nicely appointed and very clean. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location

Well it was a beautiful unit! But the mattress was horrible! We got very little sleep! If you look at the mattress you can see there is a problem with it. Also the kitchen needs restocked with cooking tools! Pots and pans are very limited! It’s a struggle to find stuff to fix dinner and to cook with. Other than these topics the place was nice.

Wonderful Beach Front Stay!!

I attended a Realtor Conference and our hotel was booked so I had to find an offsite place to stay. Not knowing the area, I needed to ensure I was as close as possible to the venue for the Conference. The owner was very accurate with the distance of this unit to the conference venue. When I arrived, there was a bit of miscommunication with the contactless check-in but the owner was on top of things, and got me access to the unit within minutes. The unit was exactly as it was depicted on-line down to the curtains being opened showcasing the gorgeous ocean view and in the same exact position as the photos and being in Real Estate, this is Impressive! The unit was very clean and spacious. The property was very clean and peaceful, we never heard our neighbors :). I would say that having door hooks for coats, bathrobes etc. would have been convenient but that definitely won't deter me from re-booking this beautiful condo! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Thank You!
