Step back in time with us at The Florida House Inn. The Inn is the oldest continuously operated hotel in the state of Florida, built in 1857 and was originally a railroad boarding house built by David Yulee. The Inn today offers 17 charming guest rooms, shaded courtyard gardens with our mermaid fountain, breezy shaded porches and balconies, and much more. All guests are encouraged to enjoy the complimentary, continental-style breakfast prepared fresh every morning.

The Florida House Inn is located next to the iconic Mermaid Bar which offers live music and open patio to enjoy the beautiful Florida spring weather. One can easily enjoy the night life of Fernandina Beach while staying at this historic inn.

For those that want to enjoy a more traditional hotel stay, we would recommend staying at Hampton Inn Amelia Island. Here you can be a just few blocks away from the venue - walking distance to the celebration! This Hampton Inn is also a short walk away from Seaside Park, Fernandina Beach, Island Falls Golf and Egan's Creek Greenway Trail. Lots to do if you want to enjoy the Florida sunshine. It's also a short drive to historic downtown Amelia Island, where you can enjoy all that Amelia Island has to offer. Check out our "To Do" section for more details.
