    WONDERFUL WEDDING WEEK

    September 23, 2012

    I was looking for a quaint romantic destination to elope. After enless hours of research and reading guest reviews I decided on spending our week at the Addison on Amelia. It exceeded every expectation. Bob, Shannon and Leigh are very warm and welcoming. Be prepared to gain a couple pounds as the breakfasts and happy hour appetizers are phenominal. The B&B is immaculate and decorated beautifully. The Historic District is within walking distance and offers great shopping and wonderful restaurants. The only regret I had is that we did not book our trip for longer than 5 days. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bob and Shannon for making our week so special. Richard and Mary Cacciatore

    My Wife's 30th Birthday

    August 21, 2012

    My Wife and I were given a 1 night stay at The Addison by some friends as a wedding gift. We ended up using it for my wife's 30th Birthday weekend getaway. Even before I arrived at The Addison the staff was more than helpful over the phone, and once we arrived they continued to overly impress my wife and myself. From the extremely polite and happy staff and owners, to the amazing breakfasts that were served every morning with a smile, The Addison created raving fans with us. The only thing that makes me want to keep it to myself is so there will be an open room for my next trip. Great place, great location, great people!

    wonderful weekend

    January 30, 2012

    We had never been to Amelia Island before and really did not know what to expect. I did know that I wanted to relax and just slow down and mellow out. The B&B was as important to me as the destination. The Addisom on Amelia far exceeded my expectations. The room was large and comfortable. Great porch and rockers. Coming from South Florida, we loved sitting and reading in front of the fireplace. Bob and Shannon proved to be excellent hosts. They were very helpful in giving us tips about the island and restaurant recommendations, (but It seemed as though every restaurant was better than the next). And who would believe that a "simple" breakfast in a B&B could be as good as any restaurant. Each day, the breakfasts and happy hour snacks outdid the last. Not to mention all the little things, not missed when they aren't there, but we noticed and appreciated them. Oh yeah, Amelia Island was nice too. Howard H.

    Weekday Getaway

    January 22, 2012

    Just spent a wonderful 3 days being spoiled and thoroughly enjoying it! Shannon and Bob were wonderful hosts in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed different and delicious breakfasts every day. Everything we wanted to do was a short walk. We particularly liked the walking tour of historical homes, the water tour around Cumberland Island, and the Amelia Island Museum. We will be back.

    Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Our hosts were very friendly and gracious. Their recommendations for dinner and activities were right on. The breakfasts were very special, they were as delicious as well as beautifully presented. This is a great place to unwind and feel pampered. The nearby activities are varied and will satisfy everyone.

    Absolutely Adored the Addison

    November 27, 2011

    Since the Addison was the fifth stay at various B&B's in FL, GA and SC- you rate the highest in room accommodations, decor inside and outside, the quality of your food service and daily "happy hour"- also the effortless manner in which you make all feel so welcome- you are truly tops on my list and will tell all about the Addison. Thank you again, Bob, Shannon and Lee- Fran

    Amazing

    November 27, 2011

    Thanksgiving at the Addison House was a treat from start to finish. The house is beautiful, the accommodations were comfortable and, best of all, the breakfasts and Thanksgiving dinner were exceptional! It's obvious that Bob, Shannon and Lee love what they do, which is evident in the attention they give to each guest. We'll definitely be back. Merle and Richard
