“Just one block from the beach, The Flip-Flop Retreat offers an easy, worry-free way to enjoy Amelia Island living. This furnished 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo in the Forest Ridge community has been extensively renovated, with nearly every major component replaced — allowing you to enjoy the beach lifestyle without a long to-do list. A short set of stairs leads to the first-floor unit, where sliding glass doors open to a private deck for morning coffee or evening breezes. Inside, the home feels fresh and comfortable with new subflooring and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, an updated HVAC system with brand-new insulation and ductwork, fresh paint throughout, and a fully updated bathroom. The kitchen was completely redesigned with solid wood custom cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, and new appliances. A brand-new full-size washer and dryer and a new water heater complete this move-in-ready space. The Flip Flop Retreat is furnished and ready for the new owner to complete it to their liking. Forest Ridge offers a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a true beach-community atmosphere. Many owners enjoy their condos personally and rent them when they’re not using them (zoned for nightly, weekly, or monthly rentals), making this an ideal option for a beach getaway, a simpler full-time home, or a flexible coastal retreat. Shopping, dining, and historic Fernandina Beach are just minutes away. This is beach living done right — updated, comfortable, and ready for flip-flops from day one, because "Life is Always Better in Flip-Flops!"
