Oceanfront living on Amelia Island's pristine shores
Ocean Place Condominiums, completed in 1990, stands as a prominent fixture on Amelia Island's coastline. This seven-story building houses 106 units, offering residents direct access to the Atlantic Ocean's sandy beaches. Situated adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton, Ocean Place combines the charm of a small beach town with the amenities of a luxury resort destination. The condominium's location on the southern end of the island provides a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, with easy access to upscale dining, shopping, and recreational activities.
Spacious layouts with breathtaking ocean views
Ocean Place offers a range of two- and three-bedroom floor plans, catering to various lifestyle needs. The two-bedroom units span from 1,255 to 1,400 square feet, featuring two bathrooms and selling for $1,150,000 to $1,327,000. For those desiring more space, the three-bedroom units measure between 1,739 and 1,800 square feet, boasting three bathrooms and commanding prices around $1,950,000.
Many units have undergone recent renovations, showcasing modern finishes and thoughtful upgrades. Kitchens often feature stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and sleek cabinetry. Living areas are adorned with durable luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, perfect for beachside living. Large windows and sliding glass doors lead to private balconies, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Master suites typically include walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms with dual sink vanities and soaking tubs. Some units boast frameless glass showers and vessel sinks for a touch of luxury. Crown molding, ceiling fans, and plantation shutters add refined details throughout.
Monthly HOA fees range from $800 to $1,200, covering building insurance, water, sewer, trash removal, and basic cable and internet services. This comprehensive fee structure simplifies budgeting for residents while ensuring the upkeep of the property's shared amenities and services.
Resort-inspired amenities steps from the sand
Ocean Place provides residents with a host of amenities designed to enhance beachfront living. The property features two community pools, offering options for both lap swimming and leisurely dips. Two private dune walkovers provide direct and convenient access to the beach, allowing residents to easily enjoy Amelia Island's famous white sand shores.
Security is a priority at Ocean Place, with the complex operating as a gated community to ensure residents' peace of mind. For added convenience, each unit comes with an additional storage room, perfect for stowing beach gear, bicycles, or other personal items.
One of the standout features of Ocean Place is its pet-friendly policy for owners, allowing residents to share their oceanfront lifestyle with their furry companions. This policy sets Ocean Place apart from many other beachfront condominiums in the area.
The building's location adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton opens up possibilities for residents to access additional amenities. While not part of Ocean Place itself, proximity to the luxury hotel means easy access to fine dining, spa services, and golf facilities for those who choose to pursue membership options.
A blend of natural beauty and upscale amenities
Ocean Place Condominiums is situated in a prime location on Amelia Island, known for its rich history and natural beauty. The island, once governed by eight different nations, has evolved into a popular tourist destination that still maintains its small-town charm. The area surrounding Ocean Place offers a perfect balance of upscale amenities and serene coastal landscapes.
Just steps away, the Ritz-Carlton provides world-class dining options. Salt, a high-end restaurant within the hotel, crafts seasonal New American cuisine and has earned a stellar reputation with a 4.8 out of 5 rating. For those looking to explore local boutiques, Salty Threads, located about 3 miles away, offers beachwear and island-inspired fashion.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Peters Point Beachfront Park, a scenic sandy beach about a mile from Ocean Place. This park allows fishing and offers shower facilities, making it a perfect spot for a day of sun and surf.
Amelia Island is renowned for its soft beach sand and excellent fishing opportunities. The area boasts several marinas and fishing charters, allowing residents to easily enjoy boating and angling in the surrounding waters. Nature lovers can explore Fort Clinch State Park, a historic Civil War site that's also popular for shark teeth hunting and wildlife observation.
The island hosts several annual events that bring the community together. The Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival is a major attraction, drawing over 100,000 visitors to celebrate the area's shrimping heritage. Dickens on Centre is another popular event, transforming the historic downtown into a Victorian-era Christmas wonderland.
For everyday needs, the island offers several shopping plazas with grocery stores like Publix, Winn Dixie, and Harris Teeter. The culinary scene on Amelia Island is thriving, with over 40 restaurant options ranging from casual beachside eateries to upscale dining experiences.
Island accessibility with mainland connections
While Ocean Place Condominiums enjoys a secluded beachfront location, the area primarily caters to car-oriented transportation. The condominium's setting on Amelia Island means that most daily activities and attractions are best accessed by personal vehicle.
For air travel, Jacksonville International Airport is the nearest major airport, located about 26 miles away or a 45-minute drive. This proximity allows for convenient access to national and international flights without sacrificing the island's peaceful atmosphere.
Amelia Island is connected to the mainland by two bridges: the Shave Bridge on SR-200 to the north and the scenic A1A winding through mangroves to the south. These routes provide easy access to Interstate 95, about 15 miles away, connecting residents to the broader Jacksonville metropolitan area and beyond.
While public transit options are limited on the island, the area does offer some alternatives for getting around. The island's relatively flat terrain makes it suitable for casual biking, especially for short trips to nearby beaches or local shops.
For those looking to explore beyond the island, ride-sharing services can be useful for occasional trips. The Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, while primarily serving private and charter flights, adds another layer of accessibility for those with access to private aviation.
Ocean Place's location near the Ritz-Carlton means that many high-end amenities and dining options are within walking distance, providing a small pocket of pedestrian-friendly access in an otherwise car-dependent area. This proximity allows residents to enjoy some of the island's finest offerings without always needing to drive.
