The Addison on Amelia

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.

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.

Eileen and I stayed at The Addison January 8-January 17 and had a wonderful time there. Ron and Lisa are terrific hosts who are very accommodating. Eileen had some mobility issues at the time of our visit and Ron and Lisa went out of their way to be helpful. Lisa even prepared a list of recommended places to visit when we moved on to South Carolina. We highly recommend The Addison to anyone planning to visit Amelia Island.

We stayed for 3 nights at The Addison. When we arrived to check in we met Ron the owner who was so nice we knew the decision to stay here was a good one. The room was a good size with a very comfortable king size bed with a walk-in shower. We met Lisa later in the afternoon and we talked about places to see and things to do. The mornings start with great tasting coffee with a 2 course breakfast that changes daily. In the afternoon we met some other guests on the covered porch and discussed the best restaurants and daily trips. Great group of friendly people. We will absolutely be returning to The Addison when we return to Amelia Island.

Enjoyed our stay at your marvelous inn in late March. Location was perfect for being near to downtown but in a quiet neighborhood. The jacuzi bath was an added treat and we certainly appreciated the happy hour you hosted. The second story room with a balconey overlooking the courtyard was a special spot. Thank you, Judith Wechsler

The perfect inn in the perfect location. Ron and Lisa were most welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was tasty. Congenial fellow guests made for pleasant and convivial happy hour on the porch. We have stayed at The Addison twice and would never seek a better spot for a visit to Amelia Island. How wonderful to stay in a beautifully furnished and appointed inn in a quiet neighborhoods yet with so many excellent restaurant choices within a few minutes’ walk.

Absolutely perfect. Charming, gorgeous, welcoming, immaculate, quiet, centrally located in a beautiful historic neighborhood. Breakfast was so good I asked for recipes. The hosts have thought of every comfort. We will be coming back for sure.

This was our first visit to Amelia Island and I’m glad we stayed here. The room was clean and well appointed, the location made for an easy walk to Fernandina shops and restaurants, and the owners were very friendly and helpful. We stayed 5 nights and were served a different dish for breakfast each day for plenty of variety. We had our favorites but all were great. There are only two parking spaces on the property, which were usually taken, but we never had a problem getting street parking right by the property. We will stay here again.

A lovely place to escape to…. Lisa and Ron were so welcoming. The Addison is exceptionally maintained, spotlessly clean, and being within walking distance to the downtown area makes it a wonderful place to stay. The breakfast was imaginative and delicious,
