And here it is. The image setting I was hoping for. These beautiful totally wild horses in view of the ocean. I am so glad to have seen this. They never got any closer to the water than this. These two kindly allowed me to take a few photos of them on the dune above the beach while they grazed on small plants. Cumberland is a totally wild and beautiful place. You can hike the island for days and not see a single horse. Other times you can see a dozen or so. Patience was key and luck. If we didn't decide to hike back along the road instead of the beach we wouldn't have seen this. If we had stopped for lunch we wouldn't have seen them walking down the road. I can't wait till I go back and hope to see a few playing in the surf.

"Amazing place to stay"

"The location couldn't have been better and we had a private boardwalk straight to the beach. It was our first time visiting Amelia Island and ranks as one of our best beach trips. There is so much to do and explore here, but it is also pleasantly laid-back. "

"The apartment was as pictured, nicely decorated and fit our needs. That said, cleanliness is the most important feature we look for, and this property fell short of our standards. There was a used wash rag in the shower, hair left behind and the floors were not clean. The exterior of the property is not well kept but we only needed a place to sleep so that was not a big deal. This place has potential, but needs a little more attention to detail on cleaning. "

Courtyard by Marriott Amelia Island

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly, rooms clean and comfy. Would definitely stay again."

Villas By the Sea Resort & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice, comfortable resort. Easy beach access, nice pool. Nice (though pricey) restaurant on site. The beach access is extremely limited because there is zero access from mid to high tide. But it's lovely during low tide. I almost always had it to myself. It is very close to other more accessible beaches. My stay (end of Sept '25) was peaceful and the resort not overly crowded. My room was quiet and tranquil until the last night when a family with young children checked in just over me. Every step the kids took (nonstop running for 3 hours that night) shook my entire ceiling. They were also up at 7 a.m. my last morning. They were the only little kids I saw my entire stay, so clearly the place was not overrun. Maybe kids on the ground floor would be better...? All in all, a lovely place and I will definitely be back"

Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location, surroundings, peacefulness. Everything was so well presented. Only bad experience was the on site restaurant. Terrible food, no choices, service was okay(barely). Price was outrageous for 1. What comes free at most hotels was a heck of a lot tastier. Bring down the overall experience for food but not hotel."
