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!

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!

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.
