Yulee, FL? (Fernandina Beach: elementary school, living in, shop)

[divanicki75]

Hi all,
My husband is in the Navy and we're due to get re-stationed next year. It's looking like it will be King's Bay, GA. I have a friend who just got re-stationed there and they are living in Yulee. Our children will be going to school at St. Michael's Academy, in Fernandina Beach, since it's the only Catholic Elementary school within a good distance to the base either in GA or FL.

Can someone tell me names of towns that are a reasonable drive to both the King's Bay Naval Base & Fernandina Beach? I'm looking for good little towns to live in, I'd rather them not be in the boonies, if possible, I like to have conveniences a stone's throw away. Also, any feedback on Yulee & St. Michael's Academy would be much appreciated!

Many thanks,
Nicki

i'll trade you kings bay for hawaii! we're up at the sub base near seattle and tried to get down to kings bay, but those orders were given away to someone higher up, boo.

we were actually looking at yulee when we thought we were going there. it seemed like a good in between for both of us -- small town for raising a kid, with big city conveniences (a.k.a. shopping) only half an hour away. kings bay is about 20-30 minutes from yulee, too.

There is St. Mary's or Kingsland, Georgia.
Or you could just live in Fernandina Beach. Or Yulee.
I prefer Fernandina to Yulee, but that's just me.
I've heard good things about St. Michael's.
