There's Nothing Halfway at Sleeping Bulldog!
"WOW" was the repeated response as we spent our anniversary at the Sleeping Bulldog B&B. The rooms were creatively decorated, beyond comfortable and exceedingly clean. It felt like home away from home. The breakfasts are prepared with joy and passion and we felt that. The little extras added to the fun of staying here: "wow!" at the snacks available; "wow!" at the Tempurpedic king bed with ultra soft sheets; "wow! wow wow!" at the view from our room (New Orleans Room). The owners are so friendly and full of suggestions for dining and entertainment. We didn't want to leave. Thank you [innkeepers] Korby and Randal! We'll be back!

"Exceptional hospitality, incredibily delicious breakfast"
If you want to truly EXPERIENCE Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island, Hoyt House B&B is a MUST. To the first point of contact, to our final goodbye's, Myrta and Deborah, the innkeepers, went above and beyond to make us feel special and cared for. The 3-course breakfast was beyond anything I have ever experienced, and I travelled the world for a living. The comfort of the beds and the appointments of the rooms is more than you would expect at any 5-star resort. This was not just an ordinary vacation, this was a treasured memory that I will share with anyone that asks. Thank you Myrta and Deborah, I will be back.
