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.
