WHAT: A two-bedroom, two-bath condominium located directly on the broad and long quiet beach of this oceanfront resort. (Note that this unit actually has three bedrooms and three baths but we make it available some weeks for people wanting only two bedrooms. The two bedroom rate is lower and applies if guests agree to use two of the three bedrooms.)
WHERE: In the Amelia Surf and Racquet Club, on the sixth of a seven floor building, south end of the complex with unobstructed views both up and down Amelia Island.
WHY: Every bedroom has it's own bath giving privacy and independence to the occupants along with the space and convenience of a full kitchen, living room and dining room. Far more comfortable than renting two hotel rooms and located in the very desirable south end of Amelia Island. This is the optimum view unit in the entire Amelia Surf & Racquet Club complex because of teh high floor and south-end location with windows on both front and side rather than front-only.
DON'T MISS: Please be sure to read guests' comments. Also, Please click on the link "Click Here" under "Other Links" further down the page to see our Virtual Tour of C132.
BEDROOMS: For guests renting this as a two bedroom unit, you have the choice of using two bedrooms (each with separate bath) from two bedrooms each with a king bed and one with twin beds.
When your family is ready to plan an extraordinary ocean front experience, this is the place to rent, as this unit has an extremely special location. The view from this 3 bedroom, 3 bath sixth floor, corner unit is panoramic in that it encompasses a view of miles of beach and ocean to both North and South. The sunrises and sunsets from this unit and patio are spectacular. The beach on the south end of Amelia Island where this Amelia Surf & Racquet Club is located is wide, uncrowded and is dotted with dunes and Sea Oats.
Looking down the beach from the unit, you will see the oceanfront Ritz-Carlton which is a short five minute stroll. With four tennis courts and two pools at Surf & Racquet Club, there is always something to do, whether it be swimming or just relaxing. However, it’s so cozy inside too, with elegant, comfortable furnishings.In addition, many mirror-covered doors add sparkle and light to the unit while reflecting the beautiful ocean views throughout. However, it's so cozy inside too, with elegant, comfortable furnishings.
Enjoy a quiet supper on the patio, overlooking the beach and waves, or try some of the great local restaurants. When you stay here, be confident that you have chosen one of the most beautiful condominiums on the Southeast coast with what is one of the most remarkable, aw-inspiring and spcatacular view of the ocean, beach and waves in Florida.
For entertainment, enjoy HBO, a DVR cable box,and a 42" flat-panel HDTV. A small laser printer is available for your use. There is cable TV in all bedrooms and free high-speed wireless internet.
Activities and Attractions: Only 40 minutes from Jacksonville airport, Amelia Island has miles of hiking and walking trails through the inland oaks. Oceanfront horseback riding is very popular, too. The complex has two pools and four clay tennis courts. There are many great golf courses very close by, including one near the Ritz Carlton, just a five minute walk down the beach or road and others at the Plantation development on the Island.
Boating, fishing and all water sports may be found on the island, too. Antiquing in some of Amelia’s antique shops is popular as is strolling in the quaint Victorian downtown area. You will find many fine restaurants there and throughout the Island, as well.
A short boat trip to Cumberland Island, a place famous for it’s wild horses and the church where J.F. Kennedy Jr. was married, is a treat. Also, on Amelia Island is Fort Clinch, now a State Park, which is one of the most well-preserved 19th Century Forts in America. There are daily tours, hikes, fishing, and other activities. Other activities here or nearby are snorkeling, diving, hunting, miniature golf, cinemas and museums.

The condo was everything promised. The view and location are wonderful and the unit is spacious and well equipped. It is also close to the charming little town of Fernandina which has some of the best restaurants we have ever experienced in a resort area. We are golfers and the courses we played are a convenient distance from the condo and enjoyable. The Golf Club at North Hampton was our favorite. Brian was also very helpful and professional. We will definitely come back again.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

This is our second stay at this Amelia Island condo. We love coming here. The view from this condo is amazing. The photos cannot show how fantastic the views are. Beautiful sunrises, the ever changing ocean, the white sand beach, and sunsets that wrap around the entire island. It is literally steps to the beach. The condo is comfortably furnished, has two large master bedrooms--both en suite and an additional bedroom and bath. The kitchen is well stocked with many cooking utensils, pans, appliances, etc. The washer and dryer are very large. An added amenity were beach towels, sand chairs and umbrellas. Flat screen TV's were a plus as well as a DVR on the main TV. Thanks,Richard, for the wine and the Ritz gift certificate. Also, thanks for sending those two whales up the Atlantic past our condo. How did you arrange that? We watched them for over 20 minutes. They put on an incredible show. No breeches but lots of flukes and spouting. Amelia Island is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation away from the cold weather in Maryland and this condo is the perfect place to stay. We also enjoyed several restaurants during our stay. Bright Mornings for breackfast/lunch, Ciao's for dinner (Italian) and Baxter's for steak. We also enjoyed a boat ride around Cumberland Island. We hope to return again.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at this condo for a week with our teenager and grown children and it was a wonderful place to hang out together. It provided a cozy area to get together, but it had enough room to spread out. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals together, the furniture and beds were comfortable. The grounds were really nice and it was a short distance away from the pool and the beach was wonderful - not too crowded. I would definitely recommend this place and would go again if I'm ever back to Amelia Island!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Grandpa and Grandma came from IL and the kids brought our 1 year old grandson - he is able to look out the window and the deck is not a temptation for him since it is off to the side. :) (he would try to squeeze through!) The view is amazing! As he takes his naps grandpa can still be at the ocean!! Then off to the pool - ocean or shopping. We have been all up and down the east coast Maine to St Augustine over the past 30 years. This is one unit that we will return to and its 3 hours from the kids:) The place is clean and we couldn't ask for anything better. if I had anything negative it would be "slightly dated" but that is not an issue---I just like color and to decorate! thank you, thank you, for the nice place. We will be back! I would recommend to anyone ---but then it might be booked when I want it!Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

The photos don't do justice to the views from this condo to both the south down the beach and to the east over the beach. The moonrises were particularly beautiful. The unit is clean and well maintained, and both the rental manager and the owner were very helpful and hospitable. The guest guestbook in the unit was full of repeat visitors, and we plan to return to it as well. The unit's location is much more convenient to the many restaurants in Fernandina Beach than our past experiences at the Plantation.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

My family and I had a wonderful week in this condo. There is plenty of room for a family of six and abundant storage for all. It was nice to stay in a place where an extra amount of living and dining space were provided. The unit was very clean and offered everything needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were the perfect sizes for our group and were very comfortable. Also, the weather was just great. A review of C132 at the Amelia Surf and Racquet Club would be incomplete without mentioning the absolutely beautiful view. We loved it! I would definitely recommend this condo to all of my friends. We are looking forward for a return visit in the future.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

My husband, mother, and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay in this beautiful condo at Surf and Racquet Club at Amelia Island. We chose this particular unit because of its view of the ocean as shown in the VRBO pictures we saw online, and we were not disappointed! The condo was very clean as well as beautifully and comfortably furnished. We loved the new carpet! The only problem we encountered during our stay was the installation of hurricane windows and shutters, which made it necessary for us to be out of the condo during the day while the work was being done. Two or three days before our stay, we had been advised that this was a possibility, but we chose to go ahead with our plans, and we were certainly glad we did. Because there is so much to see and do on the island, this work turned out not to be a huge inconvenience for us. On the day of our departure, none of us was ready to leave, and we will definitely plan to stay in this lovely condo again when we return to Amelia Island. Thanks, Brian, for everything you did to help make our stay an enjoyable one. Thanks also to Richard for your email welcoming us to your condo. We sincerely appreciate that kind gesture!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed here with friends and had an amazing vacation. The condo is in great shape and the views from all of the rooms were just fantastic. And it is very well supplied with everything you need. We had our anniversary dinner at Merge in Fernandina and the food was superb! We would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and look forward to staying there again!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We recently returned from an outstanding visit to Amelia Island. This condo was perfect for our family; my teenage sons LOVED having a room and bathroom to themselves (not to mention televisions in their rooms). Having coffee on the deck watching the sun rise each morning was magic. The weather was wonderful the entire time and we were able to enjoy outdoor dining at most of the area restaurants. The boys enjoyed the shops at Fernandina Beach; especially the Fudge Shop for ice cream! Our favorite was Brett's Waterside Cafe where we could watch all of the boats and amazing sunsets on the island. Perfect!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 1994
About the owner: This is owner Richard CUllen enjoying the beach. Whenever possible, we eat our meals outside on the balcony table ovelooking the ocean.
Why the Owner Chose Amelia City:
In 1994, I stopped at Amelia Island while on my way to visit Hilton Head, and later realized how much more attractive I found Amelia with its quiet, wide, and beautiful beaches, and the charming old town of Fernandina Beach nearby. I was hooked on first glance by Unit C132 with its extraordinary south-end-of-property views at Amelia Surf and Racquet Club. I have enjoyed many visits to Amelia since then, and I am delighted to share this special place with you.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
We especially like the short 30 minute drive from Jacksonville Airport (considering that I live in California), the awesome veiws of the ocean and beach from my end-unit condominium, the broad and sparsely occupied beaches, and the general quaintness of the area. I usually eat meals in but guests leave many positive comments about the numerous restaurants nearby.
