Graceful wrap around porches, lazy ceiling
fans and tall bay windows will warmly welcome you to our
grand mansion of yesteryear in the heart of the Historic District of
Fernandina Beach. Concierge service, soft
enveloping terry robes, touring bikes, beach chairs and towels, complimentary afternoon snacks and evening wine
make your stay perfect. Treat yourself to our impeccable
hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
Come Make
Memories By The Sea!
Park
your car and explore the wonders and pleasures of Beautiful Amelia
Island. Hoyt House and the Island provide the ultimate in a beach
vacation without the high cost of travel—spend two or three nights
with us and feel the joys of easy luxury and beach-side living. Choose
from one of our
Packages
which include activities
and special touches that assure you take home great memories of your
time with us here on Amelia Island.
Start
each morning with an invigorating 2-course freshly-prepared and served
breakfast (no buffets or self-serve here!), then “get out there” and
enjoy our enchanting Island kingdom.
Amelia
Island is made for leisurely walking or biking--at just 13 miles long
and 1.5 miles wide, you can explore our Historic District, our
beautiful parks, and our wide stretches of open sandy beaches—park
that car and return to a more leisurely mode of transportation.
Enjoy
our many amenities—sit and rest or read a good book on our wrap-around
verandah, sip cool beverages to refresh yourself after a bicycle
tour, munch fresh-baked goodies to cure that sweet-tooth craving (you
deserve it after a good healthy walk or ride, don’t you?). And
remember our wine/social hour from 4-6pm each afternoon, where you can
meet other guests and plan your evening activities—get suggestions on
where to dine (we have over 25 restaurants within a few moments walk),
take that carriage ride through the Historic "Silk-Stocking" District,
simply watch the world go by from our grand wrap-around verandah, or
take a leisurely soak in our large
Pool and
Jacuzzi Spa.
You
can request a picnic lunch and explore with a self-guided bike tour
around the island. Catch some of our beautiful wildlife and learn a
little history while you visit Fort Clinch State Park, staffed with
park rangers in period Civil War costume, or travel the byways of our
Amelia Island historic seaport, where you can see lovingly restored
Victorian Era homes and buildings. Don’t forget to take an afternoon
boat tour with
Amelia River Cruise
or their ever-popular
evening Sunset Cruise.
Venture
further to the Talbot Island State Park, just south of Amelia Island.
Stop by Kayak Amelia to participate in an up-close paddling adventure
on the Intra-coastal Waterway, or—for something truly
unforgettable—take a fun tour, on electric-powered Segway Scooters, of
the area, including historic Kingsley Plantation which dates back to
1814 (offered by Eco Motion Tours).
All
this awaits you when you spend a few Memorable Days at Hoyt House.
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!
