Amelia Island Homes for Sale
Thirteen miles of Atlantic beach with resort communities, historic Fernandina Beach, and a state park at each end.
Living in Amelia Island
Amelia Island is the northernmost barrier island in Florida, with Fernandina Beach's historic downtown at the north end, resort and golf communities toward the south, and Atlantic beach the whole way.
The market ranges from oceanfront condos and resort villas to gated golf communities and historic homes, with second-home and relocation buyers driving demand.
Where it is
Amelia Island is in Nassau County, at Florida's northeast corner, about thirty-five to forty-five minutes from Jacksonville's airport by I-95 and A1A. Fernandina Beach occupies the north end. Moving south along the island you pass the beach neighborhoods, American Beach and its history, Summer Beach, the Ritz-Carlton area, Amelia Island Plantation with the Omni resort, and Amelia Island State Park at the southern tip.
The homes
The south half of the island is where the resort real estate lives: oceanfront and golf-view condos, villas inside Amelia Island Plantation, and gated single-family communities. The north half is Fernandina Beach's historic homes, beach cottages, and newer subdivisions. Prices span a wide range, and community rules, HOA fees, rental restrictions, and resort membership terms change the math from one address to the next.
Sellers on the island are often out of state or selling a second home, and timing matters: a written cash offer alongside the listing price is a way to decide from a distance without a month of showings.
Who buys here
Second-home buyers from across the Southeast and the Northeast, retirees, golfers, and remote workers who want the beach without a big city. Many buy after a resort stay and come back for the neighborhoods they saw on a bike ride.

Amelia Island questions
Can I rent out a home on Amelia Island?
It depends on the community. Some resort and condo communities allow short-term rentals and some prohibit them entirely. We confirm the rules for a specific property before you offer.
What is the difference between Amelia Island Plantation and the rest of the island?
Amelia Island Plantation is a resort community at the south end with the Omni resort, golf, and its own villas and neighborhoods, each with its own association. The rest of the island is a mix of city neighborhoods, beach areas, and gated communities.
Do you help out-of-state sellers?
Yes. Much of the island's ownership is out of state. We handle the valuation, the showings or the cash-offer review, and the closing coordination while you are elsewhere.
