This Inn was true to the florida charm. We loved it. It was very clean, and decorated very nicely. Staff were very nice and the location was perfect. We didnt have trouble with parking as we were never in a hurry, but there were lots of reviews referring to parking, it was pretty limited but we always found a spot. I would say that if you plan on checking in after the office closes just call them before 5pm so you dont panic like i did for a minute. They are perfectly happy to let you know where to pick up your room key and set up after hoirs check in. Very easy. We went for our anniversary weekend and we will be back again.

This is such and old and historic hotel, so rating it the same as you would rate a modern hotel is really unfair. This was truly a memorable experience...and it provided a great backdrop to enjoying the great and historic town of Fernandina. We really enjoyed the backyard courtyard and front balcony that provided a great vantage point to the town activity below. Very glad we stayed here. Also, the management and staff was superb!

The property was in the middle of everything, beautiful, and historic. Unfortunately we could not get our TV to work (but had no real need to watch it) or there to be hot water in our shower, which was more of an issue. We would definitely return to stay (if the hot water issue is fixed).

Florida House Inn is an old, tired wood frame hotel. Lots of rot in outdoor stairs, decks. Room dingy. Bathroom with mold on curtain and around tub. Outdoor space was pretty but needed update. Garden fountain not working. Furniture covered with pollen. Hotel is way past its prime and in need of renovation. Breakfast was standard but staff friendly and helpful.

Nice spot with an old Florida vibe. Small room and quite loud due to the tavern and beer garden next-door. However, the price was right, and the location is super convenient to exploring the town.

The bed was comfortable and the property location is great but that is the best I can offer. I was given a Standard Room, 1 King but I booked and paid for the Honeymoon Single Room. One of the reasons I booked the HSR is that it was 1 of the 2 rooms with a refrigerator. Fortunately I had decided not to transport my daughter's medication kept under refrigeration. The window A/C unit in the standard room did not work so the room was hot the day I arrived and then very cold when the temperature dropped into the 40s that night and the next night. The shower is disgusting. The base is a clawfoot type tub placed in a small tiled alcove of the room (a bit odd, but ok for a single traveler). However, the plastic shower curtain to keep water out of the room is filthy. There was hair in the tub basin. The alcove walls are maintained (poorly) only above the height of the tub. Looking below the tub height at the walls and floor of the alcove reveals that this area of the shower is never or infrequently cleaned or even dried/drained. I never saw a staff member and the office door was closed upon arrival (2 pm), at departure (9 am) and at all times I walked by it. There was limited water for the parlor Keurig and I'm not sure when it was most recently filled. On my first morning all but 2 of the k-cups were decaf. Breakfast was underwhelming. The Inn is a nostalgic property but in need of some very basic attention. It is also wrong I did not receive the room I booked.

It was fine for an older property. Toilet ran the whole time. Placed a call for repair and never heard back. Did not fix or respond. Stayed two days and never saw a staff member after check in. Emily, who checked us in was very nice. Property needs a lot of upkeep.

Property was severely understaffed. The person on duty was always very nice. It was just impossible for one person to provide the basic necessities. The sitting room downstairs was either out of coffee pods or water to fill the Keurig. The same pastries there when we arrived were still there when we left, only 3 days more stale. Breakfast was from 8:30-9:30, late by most B&B standards, and underwhelming. Bedroom was tiny and bathroom was in what would have been the closet. Two electrical outlets in our room were broken as was the towel rack. One couple we met couldn’t stand the place any more and moved to a different hotel even though they’d already paid for the night there. The only saving grace was the parking in the back and the walkability to the nearby historic district shopping.

We have stayed here for years during our anniversary. It’s a no frills but rustic experience, perfect for those who just need a comfortable place to sleep and stay out exploring all day. We love the old school charm but miss the awesome breakfast they used to serve each morning. But all in all, it’s a great place to stay for the price and location!
