Beautiful 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath High end Beachfront Condo in Turtle 
Dunes in Amelia Island Plantation. Large ground floor end unit is 
approx. 2,000 square feet.  Most importantly, great ocean view with
beach and (brand new) pool each  within 50 yards. 

This unit is newly redecorated, and is not your typical beach 
rental. 10 foot ceilings in living room, dining room, and bedrooms. 
Newly repainted throughout, and granite countertops have been 
installed in kitchen. We just put in new high-end tile in the living 
room and dining room, and recarpeted bedrooms.

This unit is the best of both worlds....great view of the beach from 
your private back patio while getting quick access to parking or
beach and pool. Turtle Dunes is the southernmost condo in Amelia 
Island Plantation, so you will have plenty of privacy on the beach 
or pool.  There is no public access to the beach, so crowds are not 
an 
issue.

No smoking, no pets.

For those still considering other beach areas. let me explain the 
reasons we decided to purchase in Amelia Island rather than Destin 
area:

1) Closer, easier drive from Atlanta or other Northern cities. More 
use of highways. We are only 20 minutes off I-95.  Much closer to 
commercial airport..Jacksonville Airport  is only 30 minutes away.

2) Private, relaxing atmosphere. Minimal traffic congestion,  
beaches and restaurants never crowded.

3) Better weather. Warmer in winter, cooler in summer by a few 
degrees.  Fewer hurricane risks which could impact your vacation. It 
has been nearly 100 years since significant hurricane has hit Amelia 
Island. Several times a year we get folks moving from the gulf to our
unit 
to escape the brunt of a hurricane.

4) Better beach and ocean.  We've not aware of any issues with 
riptide or red tides. Beach is much longer and wider. Great beach 
for running or even biking on the sand- beach is so wide that there is
good mix between soft sand (for dipping your toes) and hard sand (for
running, biking, etc.)

5) Beauty. Tree-lined biking trails beat highrise-lined streets in 
Destin. Seldom any lines at the local awesome restaurants.

6) Better rental value for your money. This unit would rent for 30% 
more in Destin.

7) Activities. World class golf and tennis.  Beautiful bike trails. 
You are at a resort...not a big condo in row of big condos. 
Historical Fernandina Beach and Fort Clinch Park are each 15 minutes 
away. Downtown Fernandina Beach has is a charming area...with great 
restaurants without the feeling of being a tourist trap.

Fireplace, jacuzzi tub, 3 TVs, 2 VCR, DVD, full kitchen, ceiling 
fans, and other  amenities. Full cable programming including HBO. 
Bedrooms include one king, one queen, and two twins. Hair dryers in 
each of the 3 bathrooms. Safe for valuables in master. Separate 
shower and bathtub with jacuzzi in master. One of few condos to offer private propane grill (Just buy 
your own small propane cannister from Wal-Mart for ~$2.50 each).

For those interested, we can offer Amelia Island 
Plantation Amenity cards, which are resort charge cards. You can do
most activities without one, so only a third of visitors choose to
purchase them. Main difference is that you cannot use exercise room,
do AIP kids activities, and cannot purchase food at the pool or some
of the club restaurants (you can go to Verandah, the nicest
restaurant, without one.). Charge for this card is $350 per week or
$65 per night (this issubsidized below AIP standard charge.)

Within gated Amelia Island plantation, close to golf, tennis, 
shopping,bike trails, water slides, putt-putt, and renowned 
restaurants. 

In addition to Amelia Island Plantation tennis facility (clay courts
where you can take lessons or join clinics), you can walk to free
private hardcourt tennis courts.

Enjoy running, biking or dolphin watching on the wide and beautiful 
beaches of Amelia Island.
