Let's Go On Vacation
A Weekend in Florida
Amelia Island is just a short drive from where we live in Jacksonville, and it’s one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on the coast. Our hope is that this weekend feels easy, relaxed, and enjoyable from the moment you arrive.
We’re so grateful you’ll be joining us in Northeast Florida.
Where to Stay
All accommodations below are on Amelia Island and close to each part of the wedding weekend.
Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island
Additional Options On The Island:
If you prefer an Airbnb or VRBO, we recommend searching in the Amelia Island or Fernandina Beach area for the most convenient options If you’d like to explore a little farther, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach, just outside of Jacksonville, offer a great coastal atmosphere as well.
Ponte Vedra is a popular suggestion, it’s about an hour from Amelia Island!
