About this property

Oceanfront Luxury. Experience The Ritz-Carlton just 100 footsteps away.

18 Ocean Place is the nicest condo in the best location on Amelia Island. Check out our guest reviews to see what we mean! And we're just 100 steps to the Ritz-Carlton next door.

Please note: in winter 2025 there will be some exterior building work, including painting, to keep our luxury property in top condition.

With 18 Ocean Place you deal with us, the owner directly. This is not an investor property rented by a management company, this is our second home. We think you’ll agree the difference is noticeable in the quality of furnishings and the care we take maintaining the unit, and in making it comfortable and inviting.

Our guests will enjoy an experience that is better than other vacation rentals. This is our personal vacation home that we enjoy sharing with others. Our condo is kept extremely clean and we will work hard to make sure you have a wonderful, fun, and relaxing visit to 18 Ocean Place.

Newly updated and luxuriously appointed throughout, enjoy the comfortable but refined decor in every room and high end kitchen of this spacious oceanfront condominium. This is the nicest place to stay, and literally right next door to The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island!

Discover paradise on Amelia Island, it is the perfect spot for families or couples and one of the most popular beaches on the East Coast. Located in an exclusive community on the unspoiled barrier island, this condo strikes the perfect balance between upscale luxury and carefree relaxation. For the tenth-consecutive year, Amelia Island is one of the top 10 U.S. island destinations and the number one Florida island destination in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. Amelia Island was also voted one of the USA Today Readers' Choice 10 Best U.S. Islands. You will find these accolades are well deserved.

Newly decorated with updated furnishings, fixtures and art, the tile floors and earth tones invoke the surrounding sand and dunes. Blues and greens from the ocean accent the pleasing color palette. This unit has all the luxuries and comforts of home. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors welcome you to your huge private 4th floor oceanfront balcony. Enjoy your morning coffee outside watching dolphins and a passing shrimp boat. Afternoon shade and sea breezes make the oceanfront balcony an inviting spot all day long. This floor plan has the only private balcony in Ocean Place.

There are two bedrooms and two newly renovated full bathrooms in this spacious and comfortable condo. The master bedroom has a king size bed and quality linens. The mattress is high quality and very comfortable! The bedroom faces the ocean and opens to the private balcony. The second bedroom has a queen and a twin bed. Both bathrooms are recently remodeled. The bathrooms are clean, bright, and luxurious..

The new, large kitchen is fully appointed with top of the line appliances, cabinets and countertops. There is a tile back splash and under-cabinet lighting that brightly illuminates the quartz waterfall countertop. Everything is here for you to make a picnic lunch for the beach, or for a gourmet cook to prepare a fine meal. The kitchen opens across a breakfast bar to the dining room which boasts a large table and seating for six. Enjoy conversation or watch TV on the new 60" HDTV in the spacious living room. The seating is comfortable and the view of the waves unsurpassed.

The Ritz-Carlton property surrounds this condo. The hotel building is next door, just 100 footsteps away. The Ritz-Carlton has used our condo many times for their guests when they needed additional accommodations. As a guest at our condo you have access to the luxuries and services of the AAA Five Diamond Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. Enjoy the world class spa or a meal at one of the four restaurants ranging from the five diamond Salt to more casual and kid-friendly settings. The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton has been voted one of the Best Hotel Spas in the 10 Best Readers Choice by USA Today. The four bar lounges are available before or after dinner as well.

The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island is unique in North America as the only hotel and restaurant combination to gain the AAA 5 Diamond rating for both the hotel and its fine dining restaurant, Salt. The 5-Diamond status continues today. We encourage our guests to walk over and visit this incredible neighbor.

Great getaway to Amelia Island

Brad and Aimee's condo was even prettier in real life than in the photos: yes, the ocean is right there and you can sit for hours watching and listening to the waves. Everything was spotless clean, and they provided every kitchen appliance and utensil you could possibly need, something lacking in so many rental units. Great place and great stay!

Wonderful Condo

We have just returned from a wonderful long weekend in this condo. Brad and Aimee were such gracious hosts and their condo is one of the best we have stayed in on the island. The location was perfect for my husband attending a seminar at the Ritz. We would highly recommend this condo... beautiful views, great location, and most well stocked rental we have ever stayed!

Amazing condo with responsive owners

Fantastic location with views to match. The condo was modern, clean and very well equipped. There was not one thing we needed that was not supplied - even a bottle of wine to welcome us. The owners were very quick to respond to any question we had and always went above and beyond. Will stay here again for sure! This place gets my highest recommendation!

Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, super clean, family friendly, easy access to the beach and included all the necessities needed for the perfect beach vacation. Great communication with owners up to and including the duration of our stay. There was lots to do in the area and also had great local restaurants.

Great Place

Dear Aimee and Brad, Thank you for your hospitality! We had a wonderful week. This was our first visit to Amelia Island and your thoughtfulness and guidance helped us greatly. Your home was the perfect spot for our big family. We loved the view and all your special touches made it feel like a home. My kids will miss seeing all the different creatures (turtles, salamander, peacock and a crab in the pool!). Jack and Alexandra Molloy

Fabulous getaway!

A weekend away for a work conference turned into a fabulous getaway on Amelia Island! The proximity of Brad & Aimee's condo to the Ritz was amazing as that is where our conference was held. A two minute walk and we had arrived. Not only was the condo beautiful, with a fabulous balcony & view of the ocean, but the communication that Brad & Aimee maintained prior to & throughout our stay was something that I'm not sure we would have found with another VRBO. We would thoroughly recommend this wonderful home to anyone who is looking for a relaxing, well-maintained, place to stay.

Just as advertised

My wife and I booked Brad and Aimee's condo for our 45th wedding anniversary. Everything that you see in the photos is what you get, great location, every convenience, fully stocked living area with all the accoutrements. Our daughter had her wedding at the Ritz so we knew how appealing Amelia Island would be, but the condo made our stay even better. We will plan to return with friends or family in the future. Our personal thanks go out to Brad and Aimee for making the stay so enjoyable.

Fantastic location and condo

Everything is exactly as described. Brad is extremely fast at responding to any questions, including recommendations of where to rent bikes. A few days before our stay he emailed a flyer all about the area. The condo is beautiful, comfortable beds, kitchen with all the cooking tools you need. Beach chairs, toys and umbrellas there for your use. And the view!!!! Next doo to the Ritz and close to shopping and restaurants. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Great stay and a GREAT location

Lovely 2B/2Bth condo on the 4th floor. Well appointed and very comfortable. This condo also had something a lot of the other condos we have rented do not, LAMPS! I know seems like a strange thing to call out but having lamps throughout the room really makes a difference in lighting the room appropriately. If I had to nitpick one small thing, it would be that some of the surfaces were a little dusty but, by no means, was the condo dirty. Just an observation. Would recommend and would definitely stay again. GREAT communication from the owners. Very engaged in making sure our stay was a good one!

Tranquil fun!

Early risers can step to the spacious balcony and see a red-gold sun come up from the ocean; a beach quiet and still vacant of footprints; enjoy the rhythm of waves meeting the cool sand; and, hear various birds practicing their calls - a wonderful way to start the day. Then, step back into this comfortable 4th floor condo for fresh coffee and a bagel, and a chat with family or friends before going to the beach, maybe to search for shark teeth or shells, or just wade. We did these things and much more. Amelia Island has great places to visit and dine. This condo is well equipped and hospitably furnished. We greatly enjoyed our visit. There is No Doubt we Will Return.

Best Vacation Ever

This condo is everything listed in the VRBO listing, everything earlier reviewers have posted, and then some. My wife and I are in our 70’s and have taken lots and lots of trips. Without going in to details, EVERYTHING about this property is first class.-literally everything- cleanliness, furniture, kitchen items, mattresses, and on and on. “Icing on the cake” is that the property owners are unusually thorough and cordial in their instructions for arrival and departure and all communications. Made you feel very secure that everything would go well and it did. Amelia Island is a beautiful island with lots of great restaurants. Nothing “tacky” about the island. Only bad thing was having to leave. Exceptional experience in every way !

18 Ocean Place getaway

18 Ocean Place is well decorated and spotless. Furnishings are updated and comfortable. The towels and bedding are nice quality. The king bed is very comfortable! We love coming to Ocean Place as it is so close to the Ritz and the downtown restaurants and this condo was perfect. Brad and Aimee are easy to contact and respond back very quickly with answers to any questions. We like to cook some meals when we are visiting and were impressed how well the kitchen was stocked- good quality pots and pans, dual coffee maker and high end blender! Its nice that the owners leave a few pantry items that are helpful in meal prep. There is a outside closet full of beach chairs and toys which are perfect for kids! Also there are four nice beach towels available for use in the condo. Overall a great experience at this beautiful condo!

Awesome condo, well stocked, clean, wonderful communication with owners, will return for sure!

What an awesome week! Disputes some rain storms, 18 Ocean Place made our stay just perfect!! The view doesn't get any better! It is easy to come and go to the pool, beach and parking lot! My husband had a conference at the Ritz next door, and we commented multiple times, how much easier it was to stay at the condo with our family! He could easily walk over for meetings, walk back for lunch with us at the condo, and be back to afternoon meetings quickly. The kitchen was very well stocked. We cooked many meals and had everything we needed! The games were such a nice touch, especially on the rainy afternoons!! The notebook with many island menus, fishing tour info, etc ... was very handy and such a nice touch. The owners were so kind and welcoming! We will definitely rent this condo again in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Aimee Nitz

Host profile image
We are a family of four and we love spending time together at the best beach in Florida. We live in Atlanta and love our trips to 18 Ocean Place on Amelia Island! We hope you will enjoy our condo as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love being right next door to the Ritz-Carlton and walking over to enjoy the amenities. Our guests love it too! We have been visiting and vacationing on Amelia Island for years. When we decided to buy a vacation home we knew this was the best spot in Florida, and along the east coast. We love the restaurants and shops plus all the outdoor activities in the area. We also enjoy a quieter day reading a book while sitting on the beach or our private balcony.

What makes this property unique

We believe 18 Ocean Place is your best choice! We've worked hard to make our condo comfortable for our guests and ourselves. This is an upscale condominium development and we think we have created a feeling of relaxed luxury in our unit.

The building is located next door to The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island and this provides easy access to their amenities. This just enhances the already great experience you'll have at our condo. We love to walk over in the evening for dinner. Years ago we were married at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island and its fun to take our daughters to the spot where we had the ceremony.
