The perfect place to stay in Amelia Island

My husband & I loved everything about this place. A short walk to the beach, spotlessly clean, well-equipped kitchen for cooking, lots of closet & drawer space for unpacking, plenty of hooks in the bathrooms & bedrooms, convenient location, excellent communication by owners. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella all included. We did not lack for anything. Our favorite places to eat: Cafe Karibo & The Patio (worth waiting for). We also enjoyed a short hike to Boneyard Beach and the farmers/arts market which is every Saturday.

A week away from snow

The condo is a three minute walk to the beach. It is clean and well equipped. The laundry and televisions are great. The location is good for getting around the island.

Comfortable, clean, great location.

Great location. The condo is very comfortable and clean. The only issue is parking, but not so much as to spoil our stay.

No frills find

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Condo is just a short walk to the beach and not in the crowded area. The condo community is a bit dilapidated and the condo itself looked like it could use some attention. The beds are very very firm and they only provided one pillow and a very thin blanket. So if comfort is key…pack a few more soft things. The air conditioning was not working when we were there so I hope they got that fixed! The management company was amazing, very attentive and helpful. I would have appreciated some discount due to the stuffy, hot house with no windows that open. But oh well. The beach made up for any discomfort. It was gorgeous.

Forest Ridge

Very easy check in, great location. Quiet community. Very clean and updated nicely. The parking was the best feature, right outside and close to unit. King bed was very comfortable, and the unit had everything you needed from kitchen to bathrooms. Actually stayed an extra night because we enjoyed it. Planning on a very quick re-book. Thanks for everything.
