Description: In a magnificently restored 1905 Queen Anne mansion, ten elegant guestrooms await you on coastal Amelia Island, Florida. Graceful wrap around porches, lazy ceiling fans and tall bay windows warmly welcome visitors to Hoyt House, a grand mansion of yesteryear in the heart of the Historic District of Fernandina Beach.
Hoyt House Bed & Breakfast Inn, built on Centre Street in 1905 by builder John Mann, was modeled after the Rockefeller Cottage in Jekyll Island. Banker Fred Hoyt, his wife Kate, and their three boys--Charles, Willis & Wadleigh--resided here until Mr. Hoyt's death in 1927. The Everett Mizell family enjoyed a comfortable life in this grand home for the next half-century, followed by a local attorney, who's offices occupied the mansion until 1992. Over the past 100 years each owner worked to preserve the authentic and beautiful detail of the mansion's original architecture, which continues to delight guests today.
Hoyt House offers 10 spacious guest rooms, a swimming pool and hot tub, 4 public rooms with fireplaces, a turn of the century birdcage alive with colorful finches, afternoon refreshments, bikes, a fully stocked library and gently rocking porch swings. Luxurious leather sofas in front of the fireplace invite you to sit awhile and relax with a glass of your favorite beverage or listen to a piano serenade offered by a fellow guest. Walk to 25 restaurants in The Historic District of Fernandina Beach; from casual to fancy, BBQ to French Cuisine.
Other Amenities: Modern amenities include a pool and hot tub, in-room DVD players and free DVDs, high speed Wireless Internet service and individual thermostats. Just a short walk or bike ride from Atlantic Ocean breezes and quiet beaches. A gourmet Chef's Breakfast, bikes and beach chairs and towels are included with your comfortable guest room and we invite you to enjoy complimentary afternoon snacks and evening wine.
Golf, world class tennis, classic car shows, music festivals, antiques, turn of the century architecture, a lighthouse, national parks and beaches, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing, boating and bird watching await you on Amelia Island...all the good things in life!
