About this property

🌴 🌴

About The Shell Seekers Retreat: We love beachcombing, and find this location very peaceful - and thus the name "The Shell Seekers Retreat" was born! The master bedroom has a queen sized bed, a spacious closet, large dresser and TV with cable/roku/netflix access. There is also direct access to the bathroom. The second bedroom contains a full bed, with a smaller dresser and a large closet. Bathroom access is directly across the hall. With a microwave, countertop oven, coffee maker, pots, pans and dishes - the kitchen has everything that you need to enjoy a meal at home. Laundry is available on the main level. Our home has Xfinity Blast high speed internet service and 100+ cable channels with HBO and Showtime. You can also use your Roku, Netflix or Hulu logins to watch your favorite shows on the 49 inch Smart TV.

About the location: Forest Ridge Village is a very peaceful neighborhood with a pool, tennis courts and a lot green space. It's also just a short walk to 13 miles of white sandy beach. Amelia Island offers plenty of opportunities for bicycling, birdwatching, golf and fishing. The Egan's Creek Waterway is also a great place for a walk - we often see turtles, herons and alligators. At Fort Clinch State Park, you can step back into 1864 as soldiers reenact life during the Civil War. Fort Clinch also offers a six-mile multi-use trail, and 3 miles of shoreline - great for shelling and shark tooth hunting! Historic downtown Fernandina has Victorian-era architecture, a multitude of shops and every kind of restaurant that you can imagine. Enjoy some local shrimp, go on a river cruise, or just stroll with an ice cream cone and enjoy island life!

Nothing short of amazing..

We loved our stay!! The condo is even better than described.. Host was very polite and responsive, we had ZERO issues, but just some basic local knowledge questions and he responded very quick. Amenities were top notch, condo very well kept up, all appliances, etc worked great.. Honestly there was absolutely nothing about this property that wasn't top notch 5 stars.. Just a side note if you like pizza we suggest Townies Pizza 5 mins from condo. Also Cedar River seafood 3 mins away was great very downhome feel.. If you are looking... STOP and reserve this one.. Thanks you for the amazing place!

Best place we’ve stayed!

We’ve been coming to Amelia island for 4 years now and this has been our favorite experience so far! We were all impressed with the quality of the condo and the helpfulness of the hosts, and thankful that it’s so reasonably priced! It’s a nice and easy walk to the beach and very close to the pool/tennis courts. We didn’t have any real issues and the one minor thing (that was the homeowners association’s mistake not the owners’) was resolved quickly and easily. We definitely plan to book again next summer!

Incredible stay

We want to thank Tony and Peg for the opportunity to stay at their condo in Fernandina Beach. We celebrated our 33rd anniversary and had an awesome first time on Amelia Island. The owners answered many questions that we asked after booking. They are very thorough with the description of the condo. We had close walking proximity to the beach. The condo itself was clean and as many others have stated, it truly has everything you would need on a stay away from home. I can’t say enough about the accommodation. A very comfortable bed, all possible cookware/kitchenware, great location to downtown, the beach, and Fort Clinch. We are grateful for being allowed to stay at this vacation home!
