We come to Amelia every year and always stay at Forest Ridge. This was our first time in this unit and we will definitely be back. Everything was clean and there was plenty of room for my husband, 2 kids and I. We were happy there were beach chairs and beach towels to use. We had a great time.

This property was perfect for our sister trip (4 of us)! The location is quiet and feels secluded, but it's only a short walk to the beach & close to restaurants, the grocery & other shops. The property was very clean & the kitchen was well equipped for all of our meals. We recommend this rental!

Looking for peace, tranquility, and a renovated condo? Look no further. We have stayed in a dozen Forest Ridge condos over the years and the is was by far our favorite. It is located in the back of the condo which for us was a benefit even though the trek to the beach was longer. It was so quiet and private compared to other condos in the complex. We highly recommend this condo and will certainly be back next year!

The property is clean and well stocked. The amenities at the complex are great. It's a short walk to the beach and a short drive to downtown Fernandina Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will hopefully come back again!

We had a great visit!
The condo was a perfect size for our group of 5. The kitchen was well stocked with all the things we needed to cook meals. They also have beach chairs and beach toys to use. It was all very clean. My kids enjoyed the little playground on property, the pool, and feeding lettuce to the turtles in the pond.
Beach access is definitely walkable from the condo, but we opted to drive because my 75 year old mom was with us. We went to Burney Park on American Beach and Main Beach Park and found ample parking at both. The condo is also a quick drive to downtown, Boneyard Beach, and Fort Clinch. Fort Clinch is not to be missed if you want to collect some beautiful seashells.
We met the owners Andy and Sandy on our visit and they were so kind and welcoming! We'd definitely stay in The Lazy Turtle Too again!

Perfect for our stay. Good location. Quiet. Balcony overlooks trees. Loved that two rooms had twin beds. Our grandson was fascinated with the skylights.
5.0 / 5.0
No serious issues. Only comments are: the unit could use a new broom and the rug in the main bathroom is a hazard as it has no backing and slips around easily. We stashed it in the closet.

Our family came to Amelia Is for a wedding and beach trip combined. The Lazy Turtle Too was perfect for our needs. Close to the beach and not too far from the wedding or downtown! The condo was neat, clean, and fully stocked. We had a plumbing issue in the kitchen that was addressed in a timely manner. Would highly recommend and would love to visit again! (Note: 2nd floor condo and 10 min walk to beach.) Thank you for great memories!
5.0 / 5.0
The home was amazing, short walk to the beach but we preferred the drive for safety reasons. Pool was extremely close to. Only criticism i would suggest is cookware needs to be non stick everything stuck to the pots & skillet no matter what i used to keep from sticking. But would definitely stay again

Great location. Very quiet place.
5.0 / 5.0
I loved everything about our condo. The place was clean, modern, and the kitchen was perfect for our family of 5. The only thing that would keep me away is the lady that manages the pool. She was the worst. I have never had such a terrible experience at a pool that is supposed to be fun. She micromanaged everything and everyone and was not friendly at all! It’s a shame because the owners of our condo have done such a great job!

We've been coming to Amelia Island for years and loved our stay at this property for a wedding weekend. It was perfect for our party of 6 adults and grown kids. Cute decor, easy access to beach and close to Sliders! We will stay again!

Very nice clean condo. Well equipped with beach chairs and beach towels. Everything we needed. The owner is very responsive and all was as described. It is best to have a car in this location as Uber was not very available mid week. We had a great time and would return.

We love this complex and this rental did not disappoint. Very clean and nicely decorated. We would love it even more if it were pet-friendly. But if we don’t have our dog, we would definitely book again!!

we had a wonderful stay from start to finish. Very clean and modern and beautifully decorated. I think it’s important to know that in this development while it is not a retirement community, it seemed majority of the residents were 65 and over so being mindful of making noise was important. I found myself constantly telling my children to make sure their voices were low and if you have kids, this may not be an appropriate property for you.

Several friends traveled to Amelia Island for the ZOOMA Women's Half Marathon and we were so grateful to find this little gem. Very well appointed and charming with an upscale beachy feel. It was everything we needed in a great location!

This condo was absolutely perfect! Our party of 6 (3 mamas and 3 daughters) had the BEST girl's trip here. Condo was super clean, well-stocked, and had the CUTEST decor. Close proximity to beach and adorable downtown with shops and restaurants. Andy and Sandy were so helpful and responsive. We'd definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Nice
When we first arrived we were happy that the unit was in a community, it had a pool access and playground. The Condo had a keypad so accessing the condo was easy. The condo was a little smaller then pictured but it was cute and clean. It did have a full size washer and dryer, full kitchen and a private bathroom for the master bedroom. The walk to the main beach was about 15-20 mins but there was a beach accesses along the beach front road and if you go to an access it there it was about 10 mins, but you have to walk through the entire complex to get to the street and then from the street you get to the beach so not as close as i would have hoped but we managed. Pool was nice and clean. had a deeper end for swimming when we went a few times there was usually only one other family's there so plenty of room to enjoy yourself. I think the best part was just being in Amelia island the town in beautiful and we go every year.
A few Cons
The Beds were not comfortable at all, all 4 adults complained about the beds and my father slept of the couch. Getting horrible sleep on vacation sucks because it harder to enjoy it. It did not get better the more we slept on it. So that was the worst part and we actually left a day early because of it, I was just exhausted and ready to go home and sleep somewhere else. which is really disappointing because We drove all the way from PA. but everything else was ok.
I don't think i would book here again because we both work really hard to be able to have a vacation, and i went home just drained and vacation is suppose to be a place to relax and catch up after working all year so i did struggle with that. but i do recommend the island!

Wonderful getaway
I stayed here with my 2 daughters for about a week. We were very happy with everything about the property. It was clean, well-appointed, and very quiet. My girls enjoyed the pool. The apartment had plenty of room for us and the location is fabulous. We could walk to the beach, to Dairy Queen, and to rent bikes. And many attractions (as well as necessities like the drug store and grocery store) were a short drive or bike ride away. Highly recommend.
