I had placed The Addison on my wish list of dreamy Victorian inns while passing through Amelia Island several years ago, and finally had the chance to experience its hospitality first hand. The gracious lines and soft colors of the mansion that lured us from the outside is reflected in the graciousness of the innkeepers, Lisa and Ron, within. We arrived just in time to enjoy Ron's excellent wine choices at the happy hour gathering of guests on the deck, and within minutes we felt at home. From here we were able to stroll to the waterfront, museums, shops and restaurants. Our sparkly clean room overlooked the pretty interior courtyard, featuring an impressive fruit-laden kumquat tree. Chef Lisa (whose most famous breakfast recipe appears in a local cookbook) kindly accommodated my food restrictions.
