Great stay. Had to cut short the trip by one day due to the tropical storm / hurricane in Florida. Otherwise good trip

Forest Ridge is a great location on Amelia Island. It is walking distance to the ocean and has a very nice pool. The unit we rented was a little older and doesn’t have some of the renovations that many of the other units have. On the plus side, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked and updated. The refrigerator was stained on the front giving a dirty appearance. The screens were either missing from some windows or were torn so we were forced to use air conditioning more than we would have preferred. The sliding door in the master bedroom leaked water during heavy rain. Carpeting upstairs was stained in several areas. The dryer vent was disconnected and vents into the unit. We tried to hook up the vent but there was an obstruction and were unable to fix. Water stains were on the ceiling. This place makes a better short term rental than long term. Kelli, the local manager was very helpful with a few of the issues. The owner lives out of town.

Was nice to be able to walk to many places nearby while we visited our son.

A last minute booking for a family get together. Easy arrangements. Lovely location near the beach. Beautiful unit!

Everything was wonderful

We enjoyed our stay. The complex appeared to be in need of upkeep. Mold on patio noted. Instructions needed to enter pool area using pad key.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everything we needed was provided. We would use this condo again.

Nice location. Easy walk to beach. Very quiet community and very relaxing.

While the owner was friendly, responsive, and worked well with us, the property itself needs a lot of work and we were unable to continue our stay there. The owner offered to deep clean the furniture which was appreciated, but the property needed a lot more work. The washer didn't work (front was taped on), the fridge was over 20 years old and rusted out, and two of the three bedrooms were not functional due to beds or mattresses being broken (springs coming out or wobbly beds). Holes in the walls need to be patched and it desperately needs a new paint job to hide the stains and dings on the walls and ceiling. The single storage closet was completely filled with unusable junk and we couldn't even hang one coat in there. I am not sure who is providing all the positive reviews. Again, kudos to the owner's responsiveness but they may consider more $ investment in the property.

very clean and comfortable!

Enjoyed our time here. Was a nice place. Short walk to beach. Grandkids loved the pool and playground.

We love Forest Ridge for its location and I had marked this property as a favorite since we had just gotten a dog last summer. So when Fernandina Beach started allowing VRBOs again, I reached out to George to find out their COVID Cancellation policy which was very reasonable, and so we booked our stay. Upon arrival, the home was clean and prepared for renters. There were a few concerns we brought to George’s attention so he could get them taken care of before the next renters but they didn’t affect our stay. The only thing really missing when we checked in was hand soap at any of the sinks. As advertised there were all the linens, beach towels, a beach cart and other various beach gear (chairs, skim board, etc), along with starter paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap and dishwasher detergent. The townhome came with more than enough dishes, glasses, real coffee mugs (not the tiny 10-oz offerings), silverware and cookware. There was plenty of home knick-knacks too obviously collected from various adventures abroad (if things could only speak to share their origin story). The WiFi was easy to set up and there was even a dvr with plenty of recordings in the Master bedroom and living room, along with the normal cable offerings. Plenty of board games and books too. We have stayed in multiple buildings in Forest Ridge and this may have been the best location. It’s in the middle of the complex but right across from the pool; and there was a back porch that opened onto the lawn! It’s shared by the immediate neighbor of course, but it feels private. As a side note, Forest Ridge is located a block off the beach and as such, there are many non-beach critters to see! There is a hawk that has nested near the grills (charcoal on the other side of the complex). The boardwalk leading to the home has lots of curious digging spots and it turned out there are tons of armadillos at night. Also on the second night, I was walking the dog and we almost stepped on a Scarlet snake that slithered under the boardwalk. And finally, we saw a yellow rat snake crawling ON the wall of the building which I did not know could be done. It added to the beach vacay for sure. We really had a great stay despite COVID limitations and were able to continue to practice social distancing while enjoying the beach. This beach is NEVER crowded and this townhome was exactly what we needed. Looking forward to next year!

8 people slept comfortably. Close to beach. Pool was very nice. Lots of room. Nice deck outside.

It was obvious no one looked at the property, or it would not have been rented!! It smelled of URINE. The only reason we didn't leave was friends and family were already booked on flights to stay with us!! We had to leave because the Gov. of Pa. told us to go home. We should have received two weeks of credit which is a joke. I travel extensively, all over the world-why would I use your services?

The townhome is very comfortable and nice decorated. We had everything we needed to have a good vacation.

Me and my family LOVE Amelia Island and we always try to stay in Forrest Ridge. This condo did not disappoint. It was plenty of space for my family consisting of 3 young children myself and wife. Will definitely consider this unit in the future.

The time passed so quickly, we can't wait to return again. The condo was comfortable and had everything needed to make our stay memorable.

After working 12-14 hours a day coming to the Condo was relaxing on a great MB bed. The quiet neighborhood made sleep a dream, get it, a dream. The Unit is close enough to downtown to get to all dining and entertainment in less than 10 minutes. The Owner & Prop. Mgr. were easy to work with. Thanks for all they did to accomodate me and two others.

This great condo was nestled among the live oaks in quiet complex just a short hop to the beach. I took the short walk to the beach everyday at least once for the sunrise! I also made use of many of the over forty public beach access points across the island. It was not a problem find a secluded section of the beach anytime of day. The condo is centrally located and it is a short drive to many of the islands attractions. I fished in a new place everyday and caught fourteen different species! I love Fort Clinch and even though the pier is no longer there ( thanks to hurricane Mathew) it has a lot to offer. There is also a great state park on the south end of the island that offers , beautiful beaches , the George Crady Bridge , and some good natural trails, the Dee Dee Bartel public boat ramp offered some good fishing from its two docks and has a clean public restroom. The condo had comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, and everything I needed to rest up from long days of exploring the island. I had a great stay and I look forward to coming back! George seemed very responsive to my questions and always responded right away. Thanks George , I had a great getaway!

In a friendly neighborhood, easy walk to the beach and dairy queen. Easy travel to all kinds of things to do for all ages.

We enjoyed the property. It was comfortable for our family of 5. Air Conditioner worked well. Walk to the beach was fine, we measured it at about .24 miles, so one time around a track from door to sand. Beach cart made the walk easy. It was nice to have beach towels in the unit. We did a shrimp boil and sat on the back deck to eat one night. Had amazing barbeque at Gilbert's Underground Kitchen, Artes Pizza is a must too. Overall it is a good family complex and the unit was clean and comfortable. Might need a new washing machine, those beach machines take a beating. Thanks for the memories! Susan

very nice condo .easy access to beach. owner was vey helpful

We had a wonderful vacation at your home. The condo is in a great location, short walk to the beach and very close to town. The condo is very nice and the owner was easily available to reach by email. A few suggestions the kitchen should have more eating utensils and coffee mugs. We found ourselves hand washing forks and knives every time we ate. Over all we loved our stay and would highly recommend it.

My family enjoyed staying here. The property was exactly as described. I hope to be able to stay here again in the future..

No sure if hadn't been well cleaned or just vacant for awhile prior to our arrival, had to do some housekeeping. Comfortable and well furnished. Easy to find and good access to everything. Would use this property again. Suggest a map of the property for beach access, trash containers, playground, etc. along with the other written instructions. Would be very helpful!

Perfect place for vacation. Traveled alone with my dog, felt completely safe here. Loved the fact that there wasn't a bunch of steps to get to condo as I have physical limitations. I've already looked into returning soon.

Hubby and I booked our trip to Florida for September 9-23. Well Hurricane Irma reared her ugly head and we did not make it to Amelia Island until Wednesday, September 12th. The owner extended our trip so that we could make up the missed days. We had a contact person (Kelli Graves) in Florida and she texted daily updates on weather, bridge closings, electricity expectations, which stores and gas stations were open or closed, etc. She was invaluable at keeping up posted so we could decide when to travel from VA to FL (9.5 hour trip). The townhouse was a great value and we would definitely stay again (we have discussed coming back next September). The owner (George Chester) is great at returning calls and providing information on my questions concerning the contract. Thank you so much George and Kelli for everything.

Quant little place that fit our needs (family of 6) perfectly!!!

Our family of 4 totally enjoyed spending time on Amelia Island. This was our first time to the Island, but we will be back. This townhome was well equipped for our family, and being able to have our fur baby with us was wonderful. We would recommend this home to anyone looking for a great place to stay. The pool is directly across from the townhome, and the ponds and fountains are so beautiful. We met several people that live year-round in the development and they were all so gracious, giving us suggestions of things to do and placed to go eat that the locals love If you visit the area, you must go to Fort Clinch -- it's amazing. The home is nicely decorated and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed some family game time the evening that it rained on us, but that was lots of fun too.

This place was perfect for us - 6 of us - 2 families. We enjoyed our stay so much. Amelia Island is paradise! This property comes equipped with everything; however, the umbrella for the beach was in bad shape and I wish I would have brought our shade tent (bc I'm fair and had a toddler with us) but other than that we had everything necessary for spending a day at the beach. The location of the property is absolutely wonderful! Owners and manager are so nice and responsive! Definitely would stay here if/when we come back to Amelia Island.
