Cruis’Inn Keepers
Florida Contact: David & Julie JonesBiographical Info
We offer a complete range of 5-star services for your inn or bed and breakfast. Whether
it be managing all the nuts and bolts for several months or a week, let us show you how
our expertise, knowledge and experience can benefit you. No need to take a room out
of your revenue as we provide our own accommodations. Please call us today for a
personal, one-on-one conversation to discuss your needs.
Julie has a BA in Communications and has worked in news journalism at CNN as well
as a public relations specialist for an international association management firm. She
also has a Masters degree in Education. David has a degree in Industrial Engineering,
a minor in Business Management and has worked with many fortune 500 companies as
a consultant. Julie currently holds a Food Safety Manager Certification and David has a
Food Handler Certification. We were members of the Professional Association of
International Innkeepers, now known as Association of Lodging Professionals (ALP)
and held a 5-Star Diamond Registry with Bed and Breakfast.com. Serving guests’ needs
has always been our focus despite the many changes within the industry today such as
the emergence of VRBO and AirBnb, the consolidation of software reservation providers
and industry regulatory changes.
We created, owned and operated The Blue Heron Inn, which consisted of ten rooms, on
Amelia Island for thirteen years, from 2011 until 2024. We managed all the
food/beverage, housekeeping, reservations, landscaping, maintenance and other
operating responsibilities while supervising a part-time staff. During that time, we
became the number one rated inn on the island by TripAdvisor. Amelia Island has
recently been rated the third best island in the world by Conde’ Nast Travelers.
