My family just came back from a last minute trip to Amelia Island between Christmas and New Years. While we just missed the great weather (it was in the high 50s, low 60s all but our last day) we had a really nice trip- the change of scenery the doctor ordered. Our first time to Amelia, we loved the beaches, the nature and downtown Fernandina- which is much larger than we expected with all sorts of great restaurants. While we weren't looking for a condo on the 6th floor (would have preferred a house) there are not a lot options when booking three days out. This condo was beautiful and spacious. We were never on top of each- a huge living area and three nice sized bedrooms. Everything was in very good shape. The best part was the view and the sounds. We literally heard the waves all night and, as an early riser, seeing sunrise every morning was a real treat. The location is good- while only walking distance to one restaurant, it is an easy drive to both Harris Teeter and Publix (5 mins) as well as to downtown Fernandina (less than 10). We rode bikes to a few different parks and destinations, too. Very pleased with our decision to stay at Amelia by the Sea.
