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.

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!

Top Notch Vacay!!

We truly loved staying at this great condo. Not only did the pix online look just like the condo when we got there, but it was even better in person. The condo was super spacious and quiet and literally a short walk to the beach (take the short cut, you'll thank me later). Not only was the condo also well prepared for your stay, but the kitchen had everything you would need if you decide to cook. Tony and his wife Peg are wonderful communicators and even reached out to us during the storm to make sure we were okay, how thoughtful. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely! Perfect!

This is the cleanest vacation rental that we've ever stayed in! The owners really take excellent care of this property!! The condo is lovely and very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped. The beds are super comfy. We loved that it is a very short walk to the beach. We love to surf and easily walked our boards to the beach every day. There is a nice wooden raised walkway path with a shower on the way to the beach to rinse off (and rinse boards off). The on-site pool is very nice, too. Hope to visit here again!! The owners are kind, helpful, and very responsive. I also had to work remote and the wifi is fast and reliable.

Nothing short of amazing..

We loved our stay!! The condo is even better than described.. Host was very polite and responsive, we had ZERO issues, but just some basic local knowledge questions and he responded very quick. Amenities were top notch, condo very well kept up, all appliances, etc worked great.. Honestly there was absolutely nothing about this property that wasn't top notch 5 stars.. Just a side note if you like pizza we suggest Townies Pizza 5 mins from condo. Also Cedar River seafood 3 mins away was great very downhome feel.. If you are looking... STOP and reserve this one.. Thanks you for the amazing place!

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!
