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!

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.
