The Lazy Turtle Too (Next Door to Original) Vacation Rental - Amelia Island

Life is better at the beach! Relax and rejuvenate in our 3 bedroom/2 bath condo. Retreat to the master with king bed, smart TV and a private bath. We are located in a very quiet and secluded setting under the oak trees at the back of the resort complex. Our 1,100 square foot, second floor condo has vaulted ceilings, skylights, luxury vinyl plank floors, and a bright, airy feeling. There is NO ELEVATOR and you must be able to navigate stairs to access our condo. Come enjoy the beach!

The amenities include:

*A designated parking space (& additional visitor space)

*Central air/heat

*KING size bed in master

*Smart TV in master

*Third bedroom can be converted from 2 twins to short king

*High speed cable and wireless internet

*Smart tv in Living Room

*Large capacity washer and dryer (detergent provided)

*Linens, towels and beach towels provided

*beach chairs provided and several beach towels

*Hair dryers in both bathrooms

NOTE WORTHY:

*Approximately 30-40 minutes to JAX International Airport.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The home was very clean and nicely updated, which made it feel comfortable and welcoming right away. The location was perfect, and it was just a short walk to the beach and close to plenty of restaurants and shops, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer.We would definitely recommend this place to others and would happily stay here again!

Eric B., Centerville GA

Liked: Cleanliness
The primary reason for the low score is: We had an issue with the stove the first morning while cooking breakfast. While we were cooking the glass stove top began to crack with the heat. As it cooled down it continued to crack. We called the owner as soon as we realized it was happening and reported the problem. We were unable to use the stove for the remainder of our stay as we had planned. There was no indication during our phone call that we would be blamed for the stove top cracking. A week later I notice an 1150 dollar charge on my card from VRBO for the repair of the stove. Repeated attempts were made but the owner refused to discuss it with me. He claimed to VRBO that we dropped something on the stove but that is simply not true. If something was dropped it was prior to our arrival.The property was also described as 2 bath but the water was turned off to the hall shower during our stay. We didn’t report this and just lived with it because at the time we didn’t want to further bother the owner. Now, with the issue with damage claim, I wish I had. We have stayed at rentals like this for 20 years and never had a problem. We always take care of places we stay and have never thought we would have an issue like this. This experience makes me question future rentals through VRBO because there was no attempt to get any info from us, just an 1150 charge. The property is nice, but I cannot recommend it due to the false claim and lack of communication regarding it.

Well equipped kitchen, v good appliances and furnishings, linens were excellent and layout suited our group perfectly. When we arrived we could not get the TV to work and the internet bandwidth was not sufficiently strong for all our devices and TV to stream. The track lights in the dining area, first bedroom and living room were out. The ceiling in the first bedroom closet was peeling and flakes fell on our clothing. There were a few small cracks in the frig shelving and a misc knob sitting on a frig shelf.

I was mislead on the location and the commutation with the host was absolutely unacceptable

I requested the proximity of the TPC sawgrass and was told 29 min. It was actually 79 minutes. After an apology from the host I requested a refund after the first night stay and never received a response.

TVs and Remotes

We were challenged with operating the remotes for the living room TV and while we did get on to the TV eventually the sound went away and the alternate remote had sound options did not work. In the master bedroom nothing worked. We worked around it by using closed captions and reading the conversationsOur suggestions are 1) have your housekeepers test the remotes and replace batteries 2). It would be helpful to have a guide in your welcome package to operate the TVs. We have never used ROKU however are familiar with streaming services but we were lostWe enjoyed the space, it suited our overall needs Thank you

Girls Trip

Friends since kindergarten and before get together every year and this year Amelia Island was our choice. Our condo at the Lazy Turtle Too was great. Our hosts was very gracious when we contacted them. The walk to the beach was not accessible for a bunch of 76 year old ladies but they were within a short car ride. We found it easy to get around and a good time was had by all.

Fantastic Sister Trip!

This property was perfect for our sister trip (4 of us)! The location is quiet and feels secluded, but it's only a short walk to the beach & close to restaurants, the grocery & other shops. The property was very clean & the kitchen was well equipped for all of our meals. We recommend this rental! Also, check out Ghost Tours of Amelia Island, Amelia Island Board Rentals & Amelia River Cruises!

Best Forest Ridge Condo

Looking for peace, tranquility, and a renovated condo? Look no further. We have stayed in a dozen Forest Ridge condos over the years and the is was by far our favorite. It is located in the back of the condo which for us was a benefit even though the trek to the beach was longer. It was so quiet and private compared to other condos in the complex. We highly recommend this condo and will certainly be back next year!
