I travel to JAX for business and found this special B&B that is my first choice. I've been a…read morepatron for several years now. The house is beautiful in historic district and near St. John's River. Wonderful restaurants are close by. Owners Joan and Dan are very kind, accommodating, and prepare gourmet breakfast at the time that always works for my schedule. Only two rooms, private, cozy, with all the amenities. And the rates are incredible! This is a gem, don't want to give it away. But this place deserves good patronage!

This is an upscale neighbor with views of St. John's river as well as a semi-private road that makes for a nice stroll. It's located in a highly walkable area of town with trendy restaurants and bars that will suit everyone. I stayed in the Barnett room, which is spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels were high quality, the bed was very comfortable, and there were water bottles left out for me. I slept very well and each morning Joan prepared a five-star breakfast. She asked me what time I'd prefer to eat and provided options to suit my tastes. They're easy going and willing to share tips on things to do around town if you're interested. You won't find more gracious hosts than Joan and Dan. They made my trip to Jacksonville very memorable!

Speaking of Tom and Ila Rae, they are a delight! Such quirky, kind hosts. And their attention to detail is impeccable. We asked for breakfast including fruit and veggies, and boy, did they aim to please! Both days we had fresh squeezed tangelo and grapefruit juices, freshly roasted fair trade coffee, and delicious veggie breakfast creations. It's also wonderful because it's in a historic neighborhood with lots of places to walk! From restaurants and bars, to museums and parks. It can't be beat!

I can't say enough good things about my first stay at the Riverdale Inn. From the time we checked…read morein, my husband, myself and our dogs had the most memorable time spent there. We stayed in the carriage house ( guest house ) out back due to me wanting to be sure navigating an old mansions steps wasn't an issue. We booked the smaller of the two rooms in that space but were graciously upgraded to the larger one. I think it was because we booked the 2 dogs with us and the owners wanted to be sure we had enough space. We definitely did and appreciate the gesture more than they can imagine. This place is all about the comfort and amenities that a bed and breakfast is known for. It's also about location, location, location. You are only a few blocks from a water front park, restaurants, bars/pubs, a museum, shops and other places to explore. Not that you'll get bored luxuriating at the Riverdale Inn, but if you need a break from the lounging, the honor bar, breakfast and tea service then just walk out the front door and down the street. You won't be disappointed. I'll end with the staff. They were there when needed and less visible when they needed to be. Eric was an excellent host and we felt well taken care of by everyone during our stay.

The Inn is located in a nice area of Riverside and is close to restaurants and museums, as well as the water. Our room was on the second floor and was a nice size room with a tv, coffee maker, mini fridge and a beautiful bed. The Inn also has a bar on the first floor, as well as a good size dining room for daily breakfast. The menu offered about 5 or 6 options. We both went with the vegetable cheese omelettes and they were the best omelettes we have ever had. There was also a cute little outdoor patio adjacent to the second floor common area. It was a delightful stay.

We did not stay at the Amelia Island Williams House, but I feel compelled to share the experience…read moremy daughter had with the owner/manager. My daughter had just purchased her first electric vehicle and, following the vehicle's navigation, was directed to the property's EV charger. Believing it was an available charging station, she plugged in for approximately 10 minutes. It was an honest mistake, and as soon as she realized the charger was private, she apologized and immediately began leaving. Instead of a polite conversation, she returned to find a handwritten note taped to her car accusing her of "stealing electricity and trespassing on private property." When she tried to explain that she was new to owning an EV and had simply followed the car's directions, the owner/manager repeatedly told her she "should know how to use her car." Even while my daughter was already backing out of the parking space, the owner continued threatening to call a tow truck. This happened on a quiet Monday evening, not during a crowded holiday or busy weekend when the parking lot was under pressure. There was no need to escalate the situation the way it was handled. I completely respect a property owner's right to restrict the use of a private EV charger and ask someone to leave. That was never the issue. The issue was the complete lack of courtesy, empathy, and professionalism shown to someone who made an honest mistake, apologized immediately, and corrected it without argument. The hospitality industry is built on customer service and grace. This interaction demonstrated neither. Based on the way my daughter was treated, I would not feel comfortable recommending or supporting this business.

We got there Friday night at around 8:00 pm and Mr. Tate was such a gentleman to assist us and guide us to our nice cozy rooms. The rooms where clean and very comfortable. We were 2 couples, Mr. Tate was very kind and made us feel at home not like customers but family guests. In the morning his daughter Abby served us an amazing breakfast She as well was very attentive and kind. We were there for 2 nights and on the second day before checking out we again had a great breakfast and after that Mr. Tate, gave us a tour of this magic place, so much history on this magnificent landmark. This is the first time that we stayed in a Bed and breakfast Inn. And truly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you very much Tate and Abby for such a wonderful experience We'll definitely be back

Delightful bed and breakfast…read more House full of history. You would think some of the furnishings were original. According to the welcome booklet, all the original furnishings were sold off decades ago. All the rooms are open to exploration if they are not currently being occupied. Most of the guests stayed on the 3rd floor while I was there. Enjoyed room 304. Felt like I was back in time. Imagined I was renting the room, back in the boarding house days. Staff was open and friendly. Few notes: my room was missing a bed skirt. All the other rooms had one. Small thing really. Post cards and mugs were out of stock for sale. Prefer more house made items for breakfast. Fresh juice, one baked good, etc. Property has 2 porches and ver little yard or outside sitting options. Would have loved to play a local with the rocking chairs on the front porch rather the side. Again. Preference. Would stay here again.

In short order after purchasing the Cedar Oak, which was a successful restaurant he closed it and piled junk in front of the entrance. Repairs at the Spencer House were shut down because permits were not pulled. Similarly repairs at the The Club At Osprey Cove were shut down by the city and maintenance is non existent. The pool bathrooms have been demolished sans permit. The main Clubhouse for has been shut down because they allowed the fire suppression system to become non functional. So no pro shop, no tee times, no restaurant and no bar. Plus no food or drinks at the Tiki Bar. Here are current photos of the destroyed bathrooms, and visual evidence of how well brham maintains their properties as evidenced by the pool.
