About this property

Pet Friendly | Forest Ridge Townhome | 5-7 Minute Walk to the Beach | Community Pool & Tennis Courts

This charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Forest Ridge townhome has everything you could desire in a seaside retreat for a little rest and relaxation. A serene color scheme, coastal embellishments, and comfortable furnishings adorn the entirety of this unique villa.

The main living area boasts an open floor plan where two comfy leather sofas immediately tempt guests to kick their feet up, flip on the TV, and relax after a day of fun in the sun.

Overlooking the great room is a fully stocked updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets, quartz counter tops, and a California bar top perfect for serving meals! An adjacent high-top dining table seats four and is also part of the great room.

Just off the main living area on the first floor you'll find a wonderful master suite with all handmade wooden furniture, a brand-new king-sized Nectar bed, a flat screen TV, and a private master bathroom with a walk-in shower. The laundry area is also conveniently located in this bathroom.

If staying inside on a beautiful day is not your cup of tea, grab a good read, head out the back sliding glass door, and enjoy the spacious back porch! This spacious private balcony hosts a table seating four with a sun shade umbrella as well as a teak wood 2 seater bench.

Through the quaint entry foyer and up the stairs you'll find two additional bedrooms as well as the second bathroom open to the hallway for use by both bedrooms and offering a shower/tub combo. The first bedroom is host to all handmade wooden furniture, two queen sized Nectar mattresses and a flat screen TV. The third bedroom features one queen sized Nectar mattress and a flat screen TV.

This marvelous vacation getaway is only a 5-7 minute walk from the pristine Amelia Island beach. Only a short walk from the villa is a community pool, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, a picnic and grilling area, and a playground. The scenic paved walk around the Forest Ridge community provides a safe recreational venue and a great place walking pets!

Fernandina - Forest Ridge

We had a situation come up that required a very short notice need for a rental. So happy we found this- accommodated our needs perfectly. Communication was excellent and instructions/directions were very clear/easy to follow. Thank you for a great stay!

Nothing short of Wonderful!!

Let me start by saying we vacation frequently throughout the year. So, we've stayed in Condos, houses, cabins, etc of all sorts. This condo is not the newest or fanciest place we have ever stay, but it is by far the best we have ever been to. The location is awesome. Just a very short walk to the pool which is very nice and the landscaping is gorgeous! The condo itself was immaculately clean when we arrived. There are plenty of towels, dishes, and great appliances. The beach is only a short drive away or you could walk. We chose to drive as we had small children in our party. The absolute best thing about this condo are the beds!! Omg the mattresses are amazing!! My husband and I literally had to drag ourselves out of bed every morning! This will be our new go to Condo in Fernandina!

Quaint Place But Needs Bath Improvements

This was a very quaint condo, however there were a few red flags that need to be brought to the property owners attention. The bath towels were absolutely horrendous, paper thin, and felt like they were from the 1960s. These towels should have been replaced three years ago. The bath mat was unwashed. There was no trash can in the upstairs bath and the trash can in the master bath was lined with a wrinkled Walmart bag. In addition, the tray that held the towels had dust and hair in it. The bed linens were beautiful and I have no complaints on the living and kitchen space. For this property to have such nit picky exit instructions, they need to have some attention to detail on their bath linens and tighten up on their bath cleanliness.

We totally enjoyed our stay at Forest Ridge. Clean and comfortable accomodations. Location very convenient to beach and town. One issue with parking. The complex has a rule after Labor Day, parking permits are not needed. You must park in your assigned spot or visitor spot. With this said and given the time of year after Labor Day, we received a threatening letter from the Home Owners Association stating our car that was parked in a visitor lot was going to be towed since we had no parking permit placed in the vehicle. I called the property manager. She apologized for receiving this note and was going to speak with the woman that left the note. Our car was not towed, however, it was unnerving to receive this warning.

This place was spot on. Very friendly neighborhood. Best place for family. Very clean. It is better to drive to the beach which was only 2 min drive. We did not want to leave. I guess my only coment would be, they are a little too uptight about some things, ive never been to a place that had specific check out instructions and rules, but they prolly have to be that way, which is understandable. These little things i can over look. We definitely will be back. We had a wonderful time. This place felt like home.

clean, cute, & well located. Loved the trees all around. It had everything we needed. the air struggled to keep the condo cool- especially upstairs. However, it was July & hot. The buildings on the outside need a refresh/update. So much potential.We would definitely stay in this unit again- once it is cooler.

Nice townhome

My husband and I stayed with our married son, his wife and 3 children. They stayed upstairs, and we had a king bed downstairs. It was nice separation and enough room considering they wanted to be at the beach most of the time. My husband and I enjoyed the big pool while they enjoyed the beach. No complaints.

Great Location

The condo is located just a quick walk to the beach and public beach access. There was plenty of room for our 8-person group and the kitchen was well stocked. The pool is also right behind the condo. All in all, we had a fabulous time! The kids want to know when we can go back already!

Destination wedding

Nice condo in a quiet complex with pool and playground. Pet friendly:) We enjoyed our long-weekend trip to FB. Condo had well-equipped kitchen. Upstairs bedrooms have closets. Master bedroom downstairs has only a small wardrobe and two luggage racks. I would suggest a dresser to put tv on, instead of the table there.

Great place

The apartment was awesome and as described. Plenty of room for the kids to play. The back deck was great for lunches after the beach and a beer at the end of the day. Off the main road so quiet at night, but close enough for an easy walk to the beach. The pool was good too, perfect for kids.
