The Addison on Amelia

Specialties

The Addison on Amelia is a tranquil 14-​room boutique inn that seamlessly blends the elegance of a bygone era with the modern amenities and conveniences the discriminating traveler expects. The inn is comprised of three antebellum style houses built around the perimeter of the property to enclose an enchanting courtyard. The meticulously restored main building was originally built for merchant Frank Simmons in 1876, while the other two homes were built in 1996 to compliment the architectural details of the main house. The inn is a non-​smoking environment with private, semi-​private and public porches that overlook Ash Street or our soothing fountain courtyard, providing guests with a place to enjoy a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, al fresco dining or simply to relax amid the oasis of calm.

The Addison is consistently ranked as the Number One B&B in Florida on Tri​pAd​vi​sor​.com, based on a high number of positive guest reviews.

History

Established in 2007.

The Addison has served many purposes throughout it’s history. The historic part of the structure was built in 1876 and has been a private home, an infirmary during the yellow fever epidemic, a doctor’s office and now, a Bed and Breakfast Inn. The Gibson family originally ran the Gibson House as a 3-​room B&B. They lived on the main floor of the historic house and rented out the upper three bedrooms. The next owners named the inn after Addison, their daughter. They added onto the inn in 1996 and increased the guest rooms from 3 to 14. Their additions created the courtyard that we all enjoy today. Bob and Shannnon purchased the inn in 2007 and re-​opened it as a B&B in January, 2008.
