About the location: Forest Ridge Village is a very peaceful neighborhood with a pool, tennis courts and a lot of green space. It's also just a short walk to 13 miles of white sandy beach. Amelia Island offers plenty of opportunities for bicycling, birdwatching, golf and fishing. The Egan's Creek Waterway is also a great place for a walk, where you will often see turtles, herons and alligators. At Fort Clinch State Park, you can step back into 1864 as soldiers reenact life during the Civil War. Fort Clinch also offers a six-mile multi-use trail, and 3 miles of shoreline - great for shelling and shark tooth hunting! Historic downtown Fernandina has Victorian-era architecture, a multitude of shops and every kind of restaurant that you can imagine. Enjoy some local shrimp, go on a river cruise, or just stroll with an ice cream cone and enjoy island life!

Beautiful home! So clean and cozy. Short walk to the beach! We come many times a year and it was our first time at forest ridge. We loved it! Great spot for spring break! We loved playing pickleball, grilling, playing cards at night and watching March madness. We will be back!

Normally, we visit in the summer and stay on the beach but since it was October staying at Forest Ridge worked just fine. The condo had a fully stocked kitchen which is rare. They had everything you would need to bake a cake or cook a meal. They even had a “junk” drawer in the kitchen with things like tape, pens and a lighter. They thought of everything. My only suggestions are fluffier pillows and instructions for the TV.

Great location to beach and downtown

House was wonderfully clean and very well stocked. Easy parking in front of condo. Loved the short walk to beachfront for sunrise walks. Enjoyed getting some sun by the pool facilities.Downtown is a quick drive away for nice visit to shops and great restaurant choices. Recommend this condo and the area, overall!

Great location!

This was the perfect place for our family trip to Florida. The location is great for beach access and activities on the island while also close enough to Jacksonville to spend the day. The condo is very well kept and decorated, and has all the amenities you will need for a great stay. When we come back we will definitely be booking again!
