Oceanfront Ground-Floor Escape Quiet Beaches & Better Rates

  • Why Wait for Summer? Your Effortless Oceanfront Escape Awaits on Amelia Island.

    Quieter beaches. Refreshing coastal breezes. Fewer crowds. Better value. And the beach just steps away.

    There’s a little secret about Amelia Island that summer vacationers sometimes miss: the off-season can be one of the most relaxing and rewarding times to visit.

    When the crowds thin out, the island slows down. The beaches become more peaceful, the pace is more relaxed, and refreshing coastal breezes make it easy to enjoy everything the island has to offer.

    And with typically lower off-season rates, you can experience a beautiful oceanfront getaway without paying peak-season prices.

    Welcome to Surf & Racquet, where an incredible location meets effortless ground-floor living.

    Located just two doors down from the Ritz-Carlton, this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom oceanfront villa puts you close to one of Amelia Island’s most desirable stretches of beach—while offering the comfort, privacy, and value of your own private vacation retreat.

    The Beauty of Ground-Floor Beach Living

    Leave the stairs and elevators behind.

    Park your car, walk right in, and let your vacation begin.

    This ground-floor villa is designed for easy, carefree beach living. There’s no need to haul luggage, groceries, or beach gear up flights of stairs. Everything is conveniently accessible, making this an especially appealing choice for families, couples, and guests who appreciate the ease of ground-level living.

    Inside, you’ll find a bright and welcoming open layout with comfortable spaces for relaxing, dining, and spending time together.

    Step outside to your private patio overlooking the pool. Enjoy your morning coffee, relax with a good book in the afternoon, or settle in for a quiet evening with the ocean breeze.

    And when you’re ready for the beach?

    It’s just steps away.
