The Addison on Amelia

This inn is lovely. We stayed in room 3 in the main building. It had a fireplace which we took full advantage of as it was unseasonably chilly for the end of February. The innkeepers are gracious and very friendly. Ron serves the breakfast meal and his wife Lisa is the chef. This inn is the perfect location for experiencing Fernandina Beach on foot. Everything is within a 10 minute walk. In addition to breakfast Ron hosts a happy hour for all guests at 5:00. This is a very nice touch. (Nice wines and beer selection ). If you’re looking for a beautifully furnished, and very clean inn look no further!

Best honeymoon destination ever and the team who worked there was incredible! Thank you Ron and Lisa for making us feel so welcomed. The food was fantastic, the view was incredible and the entire experience was amazing! The best way to spend time in Amelia island because it’s close to the main downtown and just wonderful!

My husband and I stayed here for a night before journeying to Cumberland Island. The Addison is a beautiful small hotel just steps from the historic downtown. Ron and Lisa are the owners, and they make you feel like old friends. Ron greeted us upon check-in and showed us everything available at the hotel. There’s a great library with numerous books about the area. There’s also a lovely porch overlooking the garden where wine is served every afternoon. It was wonderful to sit on the porch and relax after a long day of travel. It was so lovely we decided to eat breakfast there the next morning. Ron told us about the various restaurants in town and where to park when taking the ferry to the island. He also had suggestions about what to do on Cumberland Island. Our room was nice sized with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The shower had great water pressure and there was plenty of hot water. Breakfast was delicious. You can’t go wrong booking here. The hotel is an absolute gem.

Absolutely one of the best places we have stayed on the Atlantic side of Florida. The inn itself is very inviting, with beautiful decor throughout. The bed was very comfortable, as were all of the furnishings in the room. The inn keepers are very kind and want to insure your stay is enjoyable, and made recommendations of where to go and what to see. The breakfasts were delicious and more than what I could, but hubby was able to devour all of his! And lots of shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Upon our return home, friends asked us how it was and would we go again. We gave them a resounding yes!

A perfect stay. Immaculate premises, Truly gracious hosts, wonderful breakfasts and engaging happy hours. All close to the very charming town with its great restaurants. Be sure to visit the museum, very informative. And we enjoyed Brett’s for the very generous drinks.

Inn is in a lovely residential area and within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the marina. There are only 2 guest parking spots but street parking in front of the inn is readily available. The inn is in excellent condition, very clean, and has modern amenities. There are a number of nice, covered seating areas on the porches where guests can relax. Innkeepers are welcoming, very present and gracious. They are readily available to answer questions and provide recommendations for the area. Just an FYI that there are no safes or mini-refrigerators in the rooms. However, there is a small shared refrigerator in the main building which contains an assortment of free sodas for guests available 24/7 and guests can put their small food items/leftovers in it. No water bottles are provided but there is a filtered water dispenser on property for reusable bottles. We are not fans of using reusable bottles on vacation as there is no way to really sanitize them thoroughly. Our room was very comfortable, spacious and had good temperature control. We did not notice any mustiness anywhere at the inn which is a plus given the Florida humidity. Linens were nice and pristine and the shower had excellent water pressure. Daily housekeeping of towels and trash are not automatically provided but is available upon request. We appreciated that there is a daily social hour with free wine, beer, soda. However, no food is provided so our recommendation would be for the inn to provide a small snack or some hor'dourves (even if just cheese and crackers or nuts) so we are not drinking on an empty stomach. We felt a snack would have enhanced the social hour experience and have experienced that at other luxury inns we have stayed at. In the morning we liked that coffee was available early and it was very good. Breakfasts are freshly prepared and on the healthy side. While the breakfasts were presented well and tasted good, one minor disappointment for us was that there were no baked goods available throughout our stay. Usually inns have either cookies, muffins, coffeecakes, or sweet breads, etc. as their signature items but the breakfast items here were generally savory (except for some fresh fruit). There is a different entree served each day with no other options offered. I don't know if guests would be able to get, for example, something like eggs, toast, or yogurt if they did not like that day's menu. All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay here again.
