Overview

Professionally managed by Casago First Coast. Seconds from the sand and steps from the pool — this third-floor condo inside Amelia Island Plantation puts you at the heart of one of Florida's most celebrated resort communities. Ocean views from your private balcony, high-speed WiFi, elevator access, and private smartlock entry make arrivals seamless. Walk to the beach, swim in the pool, then explore historic downtown Fernandina Beach just minutes away.

The Space

Amelia Island Plantation is one of the most sought-after resort destinations on Florida's Atlantic coast — a gated oceanfront community with direct beach access, manicured grounds, and a relaxed, upscale atmosphere. The 287 Sandcastles condo sits on the third floor of the Sandcastle Villas complex, right inside this community, giving you resort-level beach access without the resort price tag.

Walk out the door and you are seconds from the Atlantic. The shared outdoor pool is steps away. On-site elevator means no climbing stairs with beach gear. Self check-in via smartlock means no waiting at a front desk. And when the day is done, come back to the air-conditioned condo and stream your evening on the flatscreen TV.

This is a hotel-style condo — there is no full kitchen. A minifridge, microwave, and 12-cup drip coffee maker are provided for light meals, snacks, and morning coffee. For dining out, downtown Fernandina Beach is just minutes away with a wide selection of restaurants and seafood spots. Community laundry facilities are available on the second and sixth floors of the building.

This unit can also be booked alongside the neighbouring 288 Sandcastles to create a two-bedroom configuration for larger groups — contact us for availability.

Pool, Beach and Outdoor Access

The shared outdoor pool is directly on the property and open to guests throughout their stay. The Atlantic Ocean beach is seconds away through the grounds of Amelia Island Plantation — one of the most pristine stretches of Atlantic coastline in northeast Florida.

The private balcony is a functional outdoor space for morning coffee and fresh air. It overlooks the building's mechanical area rather than the ocean, and the AC units below may produce some background noise — guests find it best suited to a quiet coffee in the morning rather than an evening gathering spot.
