Beautiful Nature Views from Courtside Villa in Gated Resort Community!

Gorgeous, updated condo in the Courtside Villas complex on the south end of Amelia Island. This villa is on the grounds of the gated Omni Amelia Island Resort community and is convenient to the beach, complex pool, walking trails, and restaurants.

Beautifully updated and decorated, you will truly feel like you're on a wooded island retreat! The living area and both bedrooms have flat screen televisions, and the well-stocked kitchen has beautiful granite countertops. This villa is complete with top-of-the-line linens and plush furnishings. Lots of thought has been put into making this a comfortable and inviting place to vacation!

The unique design of this villa makes it a great option for a family with multiple kids or couples wishing to travel together but still have their privacy. The first bedroom has a king-sized bed and attached bathroom, with the stacked washer and dryer units in the hallway leading to main living space. The second bedroom has two queen-sized beds, an attached bathroom, and its own private balcony offering great views of the natural surroundings on the resort. This villa can comfortably accommodate six people.

With this rental, guests can enjoy both Courtside Villas' complex pools, the resort's private beach access points, walking and biking trails, the spa, shops, and many dining options. Golf is available at many courses on the island, including Oak Marsh on the resort itself. Bike and golf cart rentals are also available nearby - please inquire for additional information.

Please note this property is privately owned and managed, and is not a rental through the Omni Amelia Island Resort, formerly known as the Amelia Island Plantation. It does not give you access to "resort privileges or amenities" (Omni hotel pool, fitness center or shuttle service) and Racquet Park is exclusively open to club members and their guests. We will gladly answer any questions about other activities and amenities available on site!

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your trip to this lovely Amelia Island condo!

Just as Listed

The unit had everything we needed; including a washer and dryer. The kitchen came fully equipped from dish, glass and flatware to drip coffee maker and more. The furniture was comfortable and clean; the beds were comfy as well and the closets had plenty of hangers and extra blankets. Check in, check out and all additional information was super clear and concise. Over all, a nice place to stay for our visit to Fernandina Beach. Thank you.

Fun in Amelia Island

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo and at the resort. It's a beautiful area and was our first time visiting. The condo is very nicely furnished and was a perfect location for our extended family.

Perfect for rest, relaxation and beach walking.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Courtside Villas. It is a lovely place, with a beautiful view, and all the amenities you need. The view is perfect -- windows everywhere. Excellent restaurants in town, and beautiful trees wherever you go. What a wonderful time we had!!

Perfect getaway

First, the communication from the property manager made for a carefree stay. Start to finish they missed nothing. Second, the property and location was fantastic. The home has every convenience to make your stay comfortable and the location to entertainment is perfect. When visiting Amelia Island, this will be our spot.

We were very pleased with this Courtside Villa. We enjoyed the space and having a deck. It is quiet at this end of the plantation but everything is still within easy reach. We would definitely come back.

Great stay!

Stayed at this very comfortable and beautiful condo with a friend for a girlfriend getaway. The home had everything you could possibly need. The location is quiet and close to bike and walking trails and the Omni hotel is a few minutes up the road. The owners couldn't have been more accommodating. Amelia Island is a really beautiful place. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place!

Another enjoyable stay

This was our second time staying at this Courtside Villa. We find it to be well located and equipped with everything we need. Since we had no issues and we had a key pad entry we really didn't communicate with the property manager. Great spot and we hope to return.

Courtside Villas (early to mid Feb 2025)

Exactly as shown in photos. Comfortable, overstuffed furniture, high ceilings, nice views out windows and from the two outdoor decks which are nicely situated on the 2nd floor. Outdoor pool cleaned every day but too cold in mid Feb. Because of condos instead of hotel, lots of steps leading in from parking to navigate with heavy wheeled luggage. Original design, perhaps before short term rentals should have included ramps. Amelia Island Vacations, (either subcontractor or owned by VRBO) was excellent and this is our 2nd very positive experience with them. Easy to reach by phone, accommodated arrival one day earlier due to snow storms combined with Jet Blue waiving change fees could not have gone more smoothly. Villa fully stocked, just missing tea Kettle.

loved it!

Though there are many properties on the Plantation, it is designed in such a way that there is a great deal of privacy. The condo is in a beautiful green, quiet area convenient to everything we wanted. Lots of history and great food to be had in the area. The condo is comfortable and well furnished; well-depicted on the website.

Great location

The condo was close to walking trails and a short walk to the beach. The area is clean and quiet (minus the pickle ball courts). The condo is nice and spacious. The inside of the condo is dated and could use some up to date decor. The bathrooms need a little help as there was mold in the showers. There was also mold in the washing machine. The beds were comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the condo.

A Great Getaway!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on Amelia Island. It was our first visit and we loved the pace of the place. And our accommodations were absolutely perfect, very comfortable. We felt secure and really did feel like we were at home away from home. Our girls even had the pool to themselves each evening! It was an easy walk to the beach, taking about 12 minutes to get there. We made that short walk multiple times, including a few mornings to see the sunrise and check out the sea turtle tracks (really exciting to know they had used the beach while we slept)! We haven't committed to another trip to Amelia Island, as we really like to explore new places, but we all agreed that should we go back we'll seek out this same condo again.

Birthday under the Sea Oaks

This is a comfortable well furnished unit. It is under massive oaks with spanish moss. The pool is right outside the door. Mostly shaded. Had plenty of privacy. The beach was a rather long walk away for me. It was also a bit difficult for me to bring groceries from parking lot to the condo. Probably only an issue for older adults. We had a light out on our porch that was fixed quickly. We enjoyed our stay.

We truly enjoyed staying at the Omni Villas, the whole property is well taken care of, extremely manicured. pool (big pool) was immaculate. The villa itself came with anything and everything anyone could need for a comfortable stay. We will definitely be back. Wish we could give 10 stars
