My wife and I visited the area for the first time over Labor Day weekend. We loved the entire island and especially The Addison. Great location and a great property. Very convenient to everything and really good food all around. Every breakfast at the inn was delicious. Thanks to Lisa and Ron, as they were fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone.

The breakfasts were handled with care and love.....somethings I'd not prepare (time!, time, time!!)...See More

Fernandina Beach is an enjoyable resort town without large crowds. Food choices were...See More
