Location: Amelia City, Amelia Island, Florida North East, Florida, USA
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2)
WHAT: This is a superior unit for those looking for the best. It is a beautifully located oceanfront 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 offer it as a one bedroom unit for occasional weeks for two occupants who use only one of the three bedrooms . The one bedroom rate is lower than the three bedroom rate.
WHERE: In Amelia Surf and Racquet Club, 4800 Amelia Island Parkway, Amelia Island, FL 32034. Located on the sixth of a seven floor building, at south end with unobstructed views both up and down Amelia Island.
WHY: Enjoy the convenience of a full kitchen, living room and dining room, and a washer and dryer. Far more comfortable than a hotel room and located in the very desirable south end of Amelia Island. This is the optimum view unit in the Amelia Surf & Racquet Club because of the high floor and south-end location with windows on both front and side rather than front-only.

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.

Enjoy a quiet supper on the patio, overlooking the beach and waves, or try some of the great local restaurants.

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.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1994
This is owner Richard Cullen enjoying the beach. Whenever possible, we eat our meals outside on the balcony table overlooking the ocean. The links here to the owner e-mail and owner telephone number actually go to Melissa, the very helpful property manager who handles all of the guest contacts for this property.
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 of this Condominium
We especially like the short 30 minute drive from Jacksonville Airport (helpful to me after my long flights from California), the awesome views of the ocean and beach from this end-unit condominium, the broad and sparsely occupied beaches, and the general quietness and quaintness of the area. I usually eat meals at home but guests leave many positive comments about the numerous restaurants nearby.
