Every listing below is live from the MLS — the same data, tax truth, and flood detail as everywhere else on this site, updated continuously. A note on how I work this area: Amelia Surf & Racque sits beyond the St. Johns County and Beaches corridor I serve street-by-street every day. The data here is real and current, and when you are ready to tour or list, I will introduce you to the colleague at my Christie's International Real Estate office who knows this market best — and stay involved as your advocate from first call to closing.

Location
Amelia Surf & Racque Location & Commute
Amelia Surf & Racque sits on the southern end of Amelia Island, with Jacksonville International Airport about 16 miles to the southwest — typically a 20-to-25-minute drive depending on traffic. Downtown Jacksonville and its major medical centers, including UF Health Jacksonville and Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, are roughly 20 to 23 miles away. Buyers weighing this location often ask me about the island's bridge access, since Amelia Island connects to the mainland via a single causeway — something worth factoring into any commuting plan. The beach communities of Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach lie about 18 to 20 miles south along the coast.
