View looking miles down the beach from your oceanview cocktail table
Location: Amelia City, Amelia Island, Florida North East, Florida, USA (About 30 minutes from JAX, Jacksonville, FL Intl Airport) View Map
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
Keywords: Condominium
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.

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.

*Highest Guest Reviews at Surf and Racquet Club*
Year Purchased: 1994
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.
This excellent supermarket is just 0.7 miles from the Amelia Surf & Racquet Club.
The airport, JAX, is about thirty minutes drive from Amelia Island.

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!

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!

We have stayed at many beaches in Florida and this was our favorite. The views of the beach are tremendous. The property is in good shape including the 4 clay tennis courts. The tennis pro was a pleasure to deal with. The owner and his representative are friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to staying at this property again.

The condo is as nice as described. The view is beautiful. The beach clean and not crowded. My 13 year old daughter and her friend loved the waves, pool, and smoothies at the Ritz. The condo has a beautiful layout and the kitchen was well equiped. The owner does a wonderful job of welcoming guests with a nice note and bottle of wine. Our family had a great time and we will definitely be back.

Review Submitted: 08/19/10
I stayed at this condo in August 2010 and was very satisfied. The location was great and view was incredible. We were on the 6th floor and the ocean and beach and sky had fantastic views. Amazingly, it was very quiet. In fact after one night my wife decided to keep the sliding door facing the ocean open so we could hear the waves, but the volume was about perfect. Not too loud, not too soft. Also, we heard zero noise from others in the condo building. The building itself is starting to show its age (built in late 1980s) but the condo was updated with very nice decor. There were two small problems, one with a clogged drain and a shower that did not get hot, but the next day the property manager, Brian Sully, arrived with the plumber and stayed the entire time to be sure it was fixed right. We had a real nice discussion about lots of things. I can say Brian was more attentive to all the issues related to renting, arriving, getting us the keys and explaining everything, than any other property person we have ever dealt with. He is genuinely a nice person and very caring. If anything is not as it should be while you are staying, he will not rest till you are satisfied. All that said, the place was lacking dish detergent and umbrellas at the pool and the wireless internet connected but did not work. I had to hard wire my computer to the cable modem and it worked fine. The location is only about 200 yards from the Ritz Carlton, so you can walk up the beach and enjoy their amenities like the beach bar, all the restaurants, the beautiful lobby, sports bar with pool tables. Word of warning for those looking for Margaritaville. This ain't it. The little town of Fernandina Beach has restaurants and some things to do, but Amelia island is meant for quiet family vacations. We went to St. Augustine one day (about 1 hour and bit away) and had a great time there as well, Also, the owner, Mr. Cullen, left us a great bottle of wine and a gift card to the Ritz, nice touch! I would stay here again for sure but I am going to see more of Florida, but someday I will be back.
