Get to know beautiful Amelia Island like a resident with an extended stay at one of our many long-term rentals. Rentals are available by the month, with choices that include marsh, ocean, fairway, resort, and forest views. Each home or villa is beautifully furnished and complete with all of the amenities and comforts of home.

Amelia Island is located in Northeast Florida where the climate provides plenty of sunshine and a gentle change of seasons. No matter what time of year you book your long-term rental, you’ll be able to enjoy all of your favorite outdoor activities, from shelling on the beach and kayaking the waterways, to golfing, biking, and hiking. Amelia Island Plantation puts you just a 45-minute drive to the Jacksonville International Airport and less than three hours from Orlando’s theme parks and attractions.

First, think about a short term rental, one where you move in, start to enjoy yourself—and then it’s already time to pack up and leave. With a long term rental, the dwelling can feel like you’re home away from home for a more extended period of time, a place to relax.

If you asked ten different people, “How long is a long term rental?” you may get just as many answers. In general, though, a long term rental can last for one month—or for six months or more. If you want to stay in Amelia Island for a longer period of time (and who could blame you?), let us know and we’ll find the best long term rentals in Amelia Island Plantation for your choice of length.

Amelia Island was voted one of the Top 10 Islands in the world by Conde Nast Traveler readers, thanks to its unequaled combination of culture, history, beaches, pristine wetlands, and maritime forests, and world-class events such as the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. It’s one of the few places in the nation where you can ride horseback on the beach, play 36 oceanside holes, climb to the top of a lighthouse, and take a sunset cruise all in the same day.

Your rental on Amelia Island Plantation puts you in the center of everything the island has to offer. Stroll, sunbathe, or swim on miles of uncrowded beaches, shop and dine at some of North Florida’s most popular destinations, or hike and bike through our unspoiled conservation land, all without ever leaving the resort grounds. You’ll also be near seven state parks and historical attractions such as Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach, a 50-block district that’s perfect for a day of strolling, dining, and sightseeing. Fernandina Beach is home to the nationally renowned Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, held in May each year, as well as beautifully restored Victorian homes, world-class fine restaurants, unique shopping, and so much more.
