Normally, we visit in the summer and stay on the beach but since it was October staying at Forest Ridge worked just fine. The condo had a fully stocked kitchen which is rare. They had everything you would need to bake a cake or cook a meal. They even had a “junk” drawer in the kitchen with things like tape, pens and a lighter. They thought of everything. My only suggestions are fluffier pillows and instructions for the TV.

Great location to beach and downtown

House was wonderfully clean and very well stocked. Easy parking in front of condo. Loved the short walk to beachfront for sunrise walks. Enjoyed getting some sun by the pool facilities.Downtown is a quick drive away for nice visit to shops and great restaurant choices. Recommend this condo and the area, overall!

Great location!

This was the perfect place for our family trip to Florida. The location is great for beach access and activities on the island while also close enough to Jacksonville to spend the day. The condo is very well kept and decorated, and has all the amenities you will need for a great stay. When we come back we will definitely be booking again!
