Amelia Island Williams House is breathtakingly romantic, casually elegant and picture perfect. I’ve
had the pleasure of sitting on this porch on many different occasions with friends. It is a wonderful private and romantic oasis with all the gingerbread you’d expect. Just the kind of porch setting you’d imagine. The large porch has cozy areas with comfortable wicker furniture and amazing style, which encourages you to sit and sip a cup of cocoa or your favorite brew. The lighted iron fence creates a fantastic atmosphere and the architecture of this house is impressive.
The antebellum style of the Addison on Amelia seamlessly blends the elegance of a bygone era. Private and semi-private porches overlooking Ash Street and the soothing fountain courtyard make these porches awesome. The meticulously restored main building was originally built for merchant Frank Simmons in 1876. Breakfast on this porch is delicious and inviting.
Fairbanks House, located in the Historic District is a jewel of an Inn offering elegance with enthusiastic service and an island attitude, surrounded by the intra-coastal waterway on the left and the grand Atlantic Ocean on the right. Hanging flowers, wicker love seat and chairs beckon you to come sit and relish the view. .
Amelia Island, Florida is a seaside port, listed on the National Register of Historic Towns located in northeast Florida, with miles of undeveloped natural beaches, quiet fishing villages and quaint historic districts and is steps away from quaint gift shops, art
galleries, eclectic and antique shops, along with fabulous restaurants. There is hiking and cycling paths, world-class golf courses, deep-sea fishing
and an array of water sports just blocks to the marina and a short walk to the beach. The fall season is full of festivals and local events.
You can be as busy or as laid back as you want as you enjoy the gorgeous fall weather. The days are a little shorter, the evenings are a little cooler and the humidity has dropped, which adds up to beautiful weather.
Where does everyone want to go when the need to catch a break? Florida! From Tampa to Tallahassee, the Keys to the Panhandle, St. Augustine to the Everglades, the Florida Bed & Breakfast Inns offer you the best of Florida, and the best of gracious southern hospitality.
