Guests can easily walk to the resort village for dining, shopping, mini golf, and the Nature Center for Segway and Kayak Tours. The resort provides the perfect little collection of boutiques, restaurants, chapel and art gallery, with live music often being offered on weekends.

This location is ideal. You can park your car and never need to get in it until it's time to depart. However, if you do so choose to explore more your options are endless. In the resort itself there are many parks and playgrounds. Drummond Park on the river side of the resort offer free Ping Pong, Pickleball Courts (we have rackets for your use), Basketball Court, Playgrounds and Pétanque Court.

Also a visit to Walkers Landing to enjoy viewing the beautiful Walkers Creek, the perfect spot for fishing and enjoying the sunset.

**Please be advised this property is in the Omni's Resort and does not give you access to some of the resort amenities (the main Omni hotel pool, fitness center or shuttle service). The Racquet Park is available for paid tennis and pickleball clinics or private lessons. The Sandcastles pool for your use is the one in the photos. Guests do have access to the resort's restaurants, shops, parks, trails and spa, as well as the Little Sandy Golf, Pickleball Courts and Pétanque Courts in Drummond Park.

Guests may rent golf carts, kayaks and bikes in the Resort or other vendors outside the Resort who deliver for much less than the resort pricing. We do offer beach chairs and an umbrella. If you prefer a lounger type chair Sunsetters provide loungers and umbrellas for a daily fee, set up for you on the beach, order online or call Phone: (904) 557-4393. Club 14 Fitness offers a full gym with daily rates, about a 10 minute drive.

The historic town of Fernandina Beach with shops, restaurants and scenic harbor is about a 15 minute drive. In town you will find the oldest seaport in the US with a rich heritage that has been under eight different country flags. You may also enjoy strolling around downtown at night among the enchanting lighted trees. If you choice to get on the water there are jet skis, parasails, boat tours, inland/offshore fishing charters and sailing charters available. A short ferry ride from St Mary's takes you to Cumberland Island, one of the most beautiful national seashores and not to be missed.

Perfect Relaxing Getawsy

Clean, peaceful, well stocked and appointed property. Steps from the uncrowded beach and close to grocery, coffee, food etc. excellent beach walking and many paved trails. I came for contemplation and solitude and it was perfect!! Excellent Communication and check in with owners. Directions were spot on and the keyless entry a breeze. Did I mention the view? Absolutely stunning!! Waking up to the sun rising on the ocean was a beautiful start to each day!! Will return with my husband.
