Staying at Elizabeth Pointe Lodge
Dress || Sandals (similar) || Clutch || Bracelet
One final post about my travels to Fernandina Beach. We had the most amazing stay at the Elizabeth Pointe Lodge! I just had to give it some individual attention and let it shine all on its own. If you’re thinking of booking a trip to Amelia Island, here is my top hotel recommendation and why I loved it so much!
The Location
This bed and breakfast is right on the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean beaches. Honestly, need I say more? If I do, imagine waking up every morning with a cup of coffee and an epic sunrise view. I really can’t think of a better way to begin the day. From there, you’re just a quick drive, or longer scenic walk, away from Fernandina Beach’s buzzing historic district. With this hotel, you get the best of both worlds!
The Rooms
The rooms in this historic hotel are exactly what you need for a long weekend away. They are cozy with tons of natural light. Each room also includes a bathrobe that I couldn’t wait to sink into. I would like to note that this hotel also has a socially distanced check-in. The room key, two masks, and all our hotel information were already waiting for us in our room when we got to the hotel. Because traveling in the year 2020 is no easy feat, this was greatly appreciated!
The Food
My favorite thing about our stay was waking up and be treated to a delicious breakfast. During normal times, they would have a buffet breakfast in their dining room. Right now, they do a fantastic job at social distancing by limiting the number allowed in the dining room and allowing you to pick your meal ala carte. My standard order was over-easy eggs, wheat toast, and a fruit cup. Afterward, we take our coffee and sit on the back patio to watch the sunrise. Since David and I were both working remotely, we also appreciated being able to take advantage of the dining room during our 9-5 after breakfast.
The Amenities
The Elizabeth Pointe Lodge really goes above and beyond for southern hospitality. The staff was so friendly and extremely accommodating. They have everything you need for a perfect beach day right on hand, including beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, and bottles of water. The lobby sells local goodies from various small businesses in the area. I always love it when local spots support one another. It gave me such a good sense of how much this community cares.
I know that for so many, the thought of traveling can seem very daunting. Even still, it’s something that David and I don’t take lightly. We want to keep ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities safe. If you are hoping to get away, I recommend doing your research and finding a destination that’s taking the precautions seriously. Amelia Island definitely was the perfect answer and I cannot wait to get back soon!
