Neighborhood Overview:

The Reef is centrally located approximately halfway down the island and is a quick drive to all of the island`s best dining and shopping.

Within a mile or two, you can enjoy dining and live music at The Surf or Slider`s, or ice cream from several local treat spots.

To the north, you will find Main Beach which features the Salt Life and Sandbar Kitchen restaurants, a playground, and beachside putt putt golf. From there, Amelia Island`s downtown historic district is just a short drive down Atlantic Avenue. There you will find plenty of wonderful restaurants, shopping, nightlife and local culture. Fort Clinch State Park is also located along Atlantic Avenue. The park features the 19th century Fort Clinch (still open to the public for tours), a great beach, and lots of beautiful trails for hiking or biking.

The South end of the island boasts several wonderful restaurants, the Ritz and Omni resorts, a picturesque canopy biking trail, and charming local boutiques. We recommend checking out the Ritz spa if you are looking for a relaxing treat!

Getting Around:

Amelia Island is a small area and is easy to navigate! There is free parking available throughout the entire island, making driving very easy to any place you choose to visit.

Although Uber/Lyft are not very reliable on the island (we strongly recommend bringing a car), they are available through the app on your smartphone.

Bike rentals are available at `The Beach Store` located 1 mile north of the Reef. Riptide Watersports also delivers bikes.

    I wish we had more time to spend at the beautiful apartment on the beach. Cozy two bedroom/ two bath with a full sized kitchen. Literally steps from the ocean. We will certainly stay here again on our next trip to Amelia Island. Thank you.

    Besides my bed being squeaky everything was clean and comfortable. The host communicated very well with me and we had no issues. Unit D was perfect for two people with the two queen beds and two baths. The beach was so easy to walk to just being across a bridged walkway. I’ve already recommended it to a friend. Thank you.

    The Reef is super cozy, clean and adorable. We had such a relaxing stay here. The only negative for us was the size of the beds (full size), so kind of small. But other than that I would say a pretty perfect vacation. We loved the area and the closeness to the beach. And the fact they allow pets makes it even more appealing to us! Would absolutely stay here again!

    We loved the location and decor ! Communication was good, other guests were friendly! The outdoor shower was lovely when coming back from the beach, it would be a big improvement for both properties to have access to the pool since they share a boardwalk. The binder was very helpful also, but could be upgraded since Area 51 is closed and Cantina Louie’s was overcrowded , but the service was decent! We enjoyed are staying at the reef and would come back to stay at duke’s beach house again.
