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 everythingyou 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.

    Comfort! Comfort! Comfort! Is the first thing that comes to mind. We have stayed in several others units in this same complex and this one was by far the most Comfortable. From the balcony furniture to the bed we were comfortable the whole time. I mean isn’t that part of a great vacation? Also, the host Micheal had great communication,even providing his phone number if there were any issues. In summary my wife and I had such a terrific stay in this unit we booked it again for our return in late spring of 2025.

    Great location, clean and beautiful view of ocean from balcony. Very well stocked even tho we did not use much. Could use some updating. Such great restaurants, I never cooked. Unfortunately we had to endure hammering noise every day from neighbors who were having their unit refloored. But over all, highly recommend this vacation unit. Owners very accommodating!

    The ocean view from this condo could not be more amazing! We have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this host was absolutely the best ever . If it was possible to give a place and the host a 10 star review, we would. The kitchen was well furnished. Easy walking distance to 2 great restaurants - Sliders and Salt Life Food Shack. We will definitely be back

    Stayed second year in a row. This time much cleaner. Brought older daughter who had a great time. Only downside was no umbrella and only 2 chairs which we bought (at Walmart for 70 and left for the next renter). We will come in May next time….a little too hot. But overall great time.

    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!

    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!
