Just steps from the complex entrance await the soft, sandy beaches, a refreshing swimming pool, as well as nature paths for hiking and biking. Just steps south of the Sandcastles is a boardwalk that meanders through the plantation's Sunken Forest, which provides various vantage points for viewing wildlife and picture taking of the beaches. Also located within the plantation are salt marshes which are great for kayaking, parks with picnic tables and grills to facilitate your vacation pleasure.

After a day of play, there are local shops and dining for all tastes or you may want to consider a massage at the spa within the resort.

Regardless of season, this Sandcastle property is a welcomed retreat, only minutes away from Historic Fernandina, which offers additional dining, shopping, and recreational venues.

We understand that sleeping in a comfortable bed is very important. The king size bed has a new Serta Perfect Sleeper mattress; Not too hard or too soft, enveloped with Egyptian cotton sheets. We feel this combination will provide a restful sleep, allowing you to awaken refreshed.

Why they chose this property

We have always enjoyed coastal living and the emotions the atmosphere evokes within. Occasionally we are afforded the opportunity to step away from our home, which is only minutes away, to take advantage of this beautiful piece of paradise. This villa is located within the gated community of Amelia Island Plantation, which has many amenities of which to partake.

What makes this property unique

The moment we stepped through the door of this apartment, we were immediately beckoned by the balcony which promised a breathtaking view of the ocean. Just as we reached the balcony, it's as if someone had cued a pod of dolphin right in front of us.
