Hoyt House

The Hoyt House enjoyed our Red Hat Ladies group for English Tea. Purple & Red was the dress of choice. They all enjoyed Kate’s Tea featuring a freshly made scone & crumpet with fresh fruit, English clotted cream and jam. We so loved to see the outfits and glamour of the women that came to the house.

The Hoyt House is noted as “Relax in a Coastal Oasis” by Ashley Kappel, and photography by same. Thank-you Ashley Kappel for a wonderful article and photo. Here is the link to the article. http://visitsouth.com/articles/article/hoyt-house-bed-breakfast-fernandina-beach-fl/

The Hoyt House Bar & Lounge is now officially open!. An English pub the Amelia Lounge has authentic stained glass and cherry wood, featuring The Amelia Martini using Dragon Fruit Vodka. It is awesome. Have a seat at one of the pub tables, or enjoy the pool & water fall while sipping your favorite summer drink. Grab your pistachio nuts while they last!

Amelia Island Main Beach is open with a great new concept from Sandy Bottoms Bar & Grill. They new have tables and chairs on the Beach! Myrta & I had Killer Whale on tap and some wonderful appetizers. The picture is the main beach from where we were sitting. People were swimming and the waves were awesome. A great treat for us and our guests. A must do when on Amelia Island.

Passover Seder at The Hoyt House will be our First Seder with all the traditions and festivities of Pesach. Myrta & I are excited to bring this family tradition to our home.

English Tea at The Hoyt House Bed & Breakfast was a smashing success! All who came truly raved about the food the presentation on our three tire trays, the Victorian costumes and of course the tea! I’m drinking my favorite Tia Chai scented with coconut and cinnamon, oh so good.
