This coastal villa is set beneath a gorgeous canopy of oak and palm trees and offers a balcony that overlooks the Forest Ridge pool and tennis courts.

Upon entering the wood grain porcelain tiled entryway, this vacation getaway's appeal is evident immediately. The crème colored walls, contemporary décor, and coastal accents set the ambiance for the entire villa. The porcelain tile continues into the airy living room, which features a serene blue sofa and loveseat, a leather recliner, and a flat screen television and DVD player for entertainment. A newly renovated bathroom with a tiled shower and washer and dryer area is conveniently located off the living area and is ideal for guests using the sleeper sofa.

Across this spacious living area, your eyes will be drawn to the fabulous kitchen and roomy dining area as it is all one great room. The fresh white bead board kitchen cabinets paired with dazzling gray granite countertops and stainless steel appliances make the kitchen the highlight of the room. The adjacent dining area offers a large whitewashed table with seating for 6. The nearby kitchen bar area equip with 2 seagrass barstools offers additional seating.

Upstairs, on the second landing is the master bedroom with a comfy king size bed and a flat screen television mounted on the wall. An upstairs full bathroom is connected to the master bedroom and has a white vanity with handsome granite counters and an upscale walk in shower. It also opens to the hall for the use by guests sleeping in the second bedroom, which features 2 inviting queen beds with colorful coral and blue bedding.

This relaxing retreat is only a 5-7 minute walk from the pristine Amelia Island beach. Only a short walk from the villa is a community pool, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, a picnic and grilling area, and a playground. The scenic paved walk around the Forest Ridge community provides a safe recreational venue and a great place walking pets!

Really great place! Had everything we needed and was very clean. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot and spacious. The area was quiet and we felt safe. Pretty view of tennis courts and pool. Grounds and buildings kept well check in/out was easy. In the dark it’s a little hard to see the letters on the buildings and the map provided really helped.

Great Condo

The condo was clean, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all utensils/cookware needed, and there was plenty of bath towels. The unit is located at the back of the property, so the walk to the beach was about 7 min which was fine for us. There are stairs to get to the condo and to the beach, so you’ll need two people for hauling a wagon. The beach was perfect and clean and not crowded at all at this access point. We were very happy with our stay.

Great long weekend getaway

We were so lucky this home was available for our long weekend trip. The location was absolutely perfect, just a couple blocks from the beach with plenty to do all around us. The home was clean and furnished with everything we needed. Above all else, this particular property manager was phenomenal. I received communication with pertinent information regarding our stay before our arrival, they personally called us after we checked in to make sure we were happy with everything and they went above and beyond after I left my MacBook behind, shipping it back to my home immediately. I truly can not recommend this property manager enough. Their attention to detail and personal touches did not go unnoticed and were very much appreciated. I hope to have the pleasure of staying at their properties in the future. Thank you!

Last minute trip

My grand nieces and nephews come to stay with me over the summer. With little money we wanted to take a beach trip but had very little money. We were able to spend 3 nights which was greatly enjoyed. Could have used more pots and pans.

Not great for the money.

I enjoy cooking and you know you don't eat out every meal every day. However it was the poorest equipped kitchen I've ever seen. There was no skillet over 8 inches. The handles on all the pans were about to fall off, the utensils were very cheap, and the plates were severely chipped. The closet doors in the master were difficult to open and close. The pantry below the stairs was filthy. Other than that we really enjoyed ourselves. I probably will not return.

Great Stay At Fernandina

The condo was clean and bright, with an open-concept first floor and a nice deck. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the quiet neighborhood, an easy walk away from the beach. The management company, Amelia Island Getaways, was very helpful and responsive, too. If you are interested in this unit, consider renting directly through Amelia Island Getaways to avoid VRBO's unexpected new booking fee!
