Bed and Breakfast Tours in 2008 – Amelia Island, Florida
The Amelia Island Bed and Breakfast Association invites the public to enjoy three new open-house walking tours in 2008.
Beginning on Saturday, May 10, the seven member inns will offer a House and Garden Tour, giving guests a unique view of some of Amelia Island’s hidden gardens. Scheduled the day before Mother’s Day, the House and Garden Tour will showcase the properties’ flowering gardens, period architecture and unique decorating schemes.
Addison on Amelia, the Amelia Island Williams House, the Ash Street Inn, Elizabeth Pointe Lodge, Fairbanks House, Florida House Inn and the Hoyt House will participate in the tours.
In the fall, the inns will open again, on Saturday, Oct. 11, for a Fall Decorating Tour, and again on Saturday, Nov. 22, for a Holiday Cookie Tour.
Fairbanks House owner Theresa Hamilton, formerly the Holiday Tour coordinator, proposed three, smaller tours as a way for guests to enjoy the inns throughout the year.
Tickets for the tours are $20/each or $45 for the series and will be available beginning in April at any of the seven inns and the Chamber of Commerce Gateway Office.
