About this apartment rental
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 appreciatedbeing 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.

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!

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.

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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
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.

We enjoyed our stay at Turtle Haven Amelia. It was very clean and cozy with beautiful views of the ocean from the large balcony!
5.0 / 5.0
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!
5.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
This condo feels like home - plenty of linens, staples in the pantry, and all the kitchen equipment you could want. Michael was instantly responsive to a small problem, the sort that just happens at random. Hope to be back next year.

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.

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.

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.

Condo was nice and well stocked with most everything you need. Beach just a few steps away, balcony had a great view of ocean, good restaurants close by. We enjoyed our stay!

Our favorite place is Amelia island beach. This unit was well stocked and clean. The outside patio has high top table for eating as well as comfortable cushioned Adirondack chairs for relaxing while enjoying the spectacular ocean view. Highly recommend this place!!

Great condo unit right on the water.
5.0 / 5.0
The property itself is great (covered parking, direct access to the beach, elevators and luggage cart). This unit has incredible views of the beach and a huge balcony to enjoy coffee in the morning and a night cap in the evening. It is spacious, clean and comfortable. Location of the unit is excellent - a short walk to a few restaurants (one directly on the beach) and about a 40-50min walk to downtown. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great view. Close to town. Huge balcony. Nice beach. Comfortable bed. Parking was never an issue for us (2nd week of May). Great time!
Thanks!

This was our first beach vacation as a family with our 1 1/2 year old. The location was perfect and being right on the beach was absolutely necessary having a little one. Each sunny day we spent our time looking for seashells and building sandcastles. On rainy mornings and afternoons, we’d head to the cute downtown. We were very impressed with Fernandina Beach and our rental had everything we needed to be comfortable. We’ll be back!

My husband and I enjoyed our trip over Spring Break. The condo was very clean and well stocked. It is right on the beach so the walk is short and the views are great. Would love to stay here again.

We had a great stay! The oceanfront view is amazing! I loved how easy it was to get onto the beach to walk. It was a short 5 minute drive to the historic district which is fun to walk around.
The kitchen is very well stocked. We like to cook- so that was appreciated!
The masterbed was comfortable and the ocean view from the room with the big windows was a treat!
We had a great visit and appreciate your property!
(we saw a full rainbow on one of our days)

This is our second time staying at 305 and you can't beat the view and proximity to the town and amenities. The condo is well stocked with everything needed for cooking, plenty of linens, and great furnishings.

This condo was exactly how it's described. Beautiful views from bed. We walked downtown every morning (it took about 50 minutes). Loved staying here, we will book this again. I do wish they had beach equipment in the unit...no chairs/umbrellas.

Needs a total facelift both inside and outside. The wood floors, however, were lovely.

This charming condo checked all the boxes! The view was amazing, the accommodations were so comfortable with everything you might need provided. It was very clean and had a charming decor. Check in and communication with the owner was very easy. I would return ASAP!! Elevator was a huge bonus!

Beach access and ocean view second to none.
5.0 / 5.0
This little condo is perfect for a week at the beach - right on the beach, just a quick elevator ride and a short walk to sitting right in front of the surf. The balcony is great early in the morning and all afternoon, too.
The condo is stocked with everything you could need - and plenty of extras. We really appreciated the generosity of the hosts and the trust they showed by keeping so many extra supplies on hand. We really felt welcomed and you will too. Their good spirit shines through.

We spent 3 days at Coral Sands. Top floor condo. Amazing view of ocean and beach. Everything we needed was there and close to the downtown shops/restaurants.
5.0 / 5.0
We have all had experiences where the property looks amazing on line, then not so much in person. This is NOT like that. It is a perfect location right on the beach and exactly how it's presented. My husband, my12 year old son, and I went to celebrate my birthday. The beach is beautiful, dog-friendly, big waves to play in and was not at all crowded when we went. It's a perfect location for a walk either way to eat or drink at the many bars and restaurants. The property itself was very clean and well-maintained. The downtown area, while a drive away, was super cute. We found a fish market and did most of our cooking in the condo. My only small wish would be that we were allowed to have a small grill on the patio (apparently against fire code, which can't be controlled) and the property's parking situation is less than ideal since most people don't follow the rule to pull forward since they may get blocked in. That leaves some people without a place to park. Overall, I would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Great condo located on 3rd floor by elevator w/private balcony. Wonderful views & sounds of the ocean

Our family spent a week at the property and had a nice time. The condo was clean and the location is excellent. The parking situation is less than ideal but it turned out to be less of an issue than we anticipated.

Already looking forward to a return visit next year.

Great Views for July 4th weekend.
From the start we asked for early check in, and they accommodated us. The place was easy to find, and beautiful. Throughly enjoyed the views. Only thing is parking. That’s no direct correlation to the host, it was just a little tricky. Look forward to renting this place again in the future.
