Studio Retreat | Next to Pool & Steps to Beach

Welcome to 271 Sandcastles in the oceanfront Sandcastles Community at Amelia Island Plantation, hosted by Stay Better Vacations. This first-floor retreat offers a private patio just steps from the pool and beach access over the dunes. Enjoy the oceanside pool, pristine beaches, and scenic walking and biking trails. With easy access to the conference center, golf courses, and local attractions, this serene retreat is perfect for a relaxing getaway or an adventurous escape.

Perfect for two, this first-floor studio offers a cozy retreat with the pool just beyond your patio and the beach path only steps away. Relax in the inviting living area, enjoy meals at the dining table for two or the kitchen bar, and rest easy in the queen bed. This studio includes a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo for your convenience.

The kitchen includes everything you need for a simple stay—a full-size fridge, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster. Step outside to your private patio with a bistro table, perfect for quiet mornings with coffee or evenings under the stars.

Whether you're here for a quick getaway or attending a conference at the nearby Omni Resort, this space is the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm.

Please note: This first-floor studio does require some stairs for access, though using the ramp eliminates most of them. The shared laundry room is just a few doors away, with washers and dryers available free of charge. An ice machine is located on the ground floor.

This location offers everything you need for a care-free vacation, just park and unwind. Within the resort, explore parks, playgrounds, and amenities like free pickleball, basketball, and ping pong at Drummond Park. Stroll boardwalks along the salt marsh or catch a sunset at Walkers Landing. Enjoy spa services, boutique shopping, and dining at The Shops at Omni Amelia Island. Nearby, golf courses and bike or golf cart rentals offer even more ways to explore.
