Florida House Inn - Hotel in Fernandina Beach - 22 S 3rd St, USA

Julia, the manager, was the perfect hostess. I started each day with my coffee on the front porch. There is free coffee and water all day in the front room with comfy couches. Breakfast is at 8:30 and includes fresh, flaky danish, a delicious egg dish, and so much more. The location is the perfect place to explore if you are walking. We parked in the private lot and didn't need our car until we left. There is a bar for the perfect ending with live music next door. We took our own beverage and had a private party on one of the several patio's. The beds are soft and the pillows are fluffy. The shower is big enough for two. I'll bring my husband on my next visit.Julia recommended several places to visit, including the local craft fair. It was a fantastic trip and I'm already planning my next visit. Julia went the extra mile to be sure that each quest was treated like family.

We booked a room for a 3 night stay over Labor Day weekend. We got room 14. The ac worked! Clearly the room hadn’t been cleaned in a while. There were spiders and spider webs everywhere. Also big red ants. The bathtub had dirt and spiders in it. The area rug was very dirty. One of the folding doors for the bathroom was hung backwards so, it didn’t close. EVERYTHING smelled musty and moldy. There was nowhere comfortable to spend time in the room to take a break from the heat. The people were nice. Had breakfast at leddys porch and it was good. Cant complain about the music from next door, it was one of the reasons we pick to stay there. In the end, we were so uncomfortable in the room because of the spiders, mold and cleanliness we left early Sunday morning and went home to finish our long weekend, instead of staying through till Monday. We will visit Fernandina again but, will never stay at the Florida House Inn again. It’s a shame because it’s a really cool historical landmark but, it’s being neglected.

My review is much like others. I wanted to like the Inn, because of the history and the central location. You can walk the whole historic district of Fernandina Beach very easily. Parts of the Inn have been renovated, but it’s a work in progress. I have stayed in other historic properties and they were kept up a lot better.||The upside is that when we did finally encounter staff, they were very nice. We had read other reviews and knew the Green Turtle Tavern next door had live music pretty much every night until 11. We were in Railroad Room 7. It is meant to be sort of working class with twin beds and a very utilitarian bath. Okay room, but it finally got too hard to be right next to the bar two nights in a row. Our last night the staff did move us to a queen room on the other side of the Inn. You could still hear the music, but it was much quieter and nicer.||The downside is that the Inn really seems like an afterthought compared to the Mermaid Bar and the tavern next door. The staff left the courtyard lights on ALL night, making it hard to sleep in 7. The “breakfast” each weekday was overcooked quiche, yogurt with granola, and bagels and toast. That’s pretty much it unless you were there on a weekend day and partook of the brunch at Leddy’s Porch.||TL/DR- the staff are not in the office much, and the main focus of the Inn is the tavern next door and the Mermaid Bar. The staff we encountered were nice. The rooms on the tavern side are just too noisy without a fan for white noise. Stay on the other side if you can.

The building is full of history, but in need of some TLC.|We stayed in room number 8. Unfortunately there is a bar next door that has live music. The band plays until 11. We thought they had a bar and restaurant. These are opened limited hours. The restaurant did serve a great breakfast on the weekends. During the week there was breakfast available for only one hour per the person that checked us in. There is a coffee machine in the front of the building. There are no refrigerators. They do have an ice machine available should you need ice for a cooler. Great spots to sit in the back and also on the porch.|Staff was friendly.|There is limited parking, that is not monitored. |Location is great. We walked everywhere in Fernandina Beach.

A lovely property listed on the National Historic Register. My husband and I stayed in room 7 (railroad twin). While the room is quite small and has yet to be fully renovated it was still adequate and the beds were comfortable. It is perfectly located in the Historic District making most places a quick easy walk. Unfortunately those are the only real positives. The Inn is situated next to The Green Turtle Tavern which the owners of the inn also own. The Inn also houses The Mermaid Bar which is open Thursday -Saturday. The tavern has live music every night until 11 and customers spill over onto the inn property. Room 7 is on the tavern side and we literally had people standing right outside our window. The outside doors of the inn are left unlocked unless guests lock them (guests are given a room key and outside door keys) and while we locked the doors at night during the day the door right by our room was routinely left ajar. The noise level from the tavern and bar made sleeping impossible until well after midnight. I did finally talk to a member of staff on our last night; this was the first time anyone had been available in the office since we had arrived a couple of days prior. She was very nice and did move us to a queen room in the front of the inn on the opposite side of the tavern. The noise was somewhat diminished and it was a bit safer as it was on the second floor. They do offer a complimentary breakfast but be warned that it is more of a Continental style breakfast not a full hot breakfast. Leddy's Porch, also run within the inn does serve brunch Thursday -Saturday and guests get a 10% discount. The Inn is sadly an afterthought as the main focus is the Mermaid Bar, Tavern and Leddy's Porch. Great location just don't expect to get much sleep.

We arrived for our Saturday night stay to no parking, anywhere, even remotely close. We had 2 rooms, 14 & 7. #7 was so small that when you opened the door it hit one of the beds. There’s no AC unit in this room, only a ceiling fan which barely moved any air. The hot/cold setting for the shower are backwards. This is a SMALL room. VERY close to the bar and the super loud music until 11pm was less than optimal. #14 is on the second story. The late night music was equally as intrusive up stairs on the opposite side from the band. The room smelled like water damage. We discovered after a shower (which ran out of hot water) that the tub edge leaked out in to the room. The area rug was saturated with water. The ‘closet doors’ to the bathroom provide zero privacy and only 1 of the 2 doors actually worked. The shower head and jacuzzi tub jets were disgusting with black mold. The shower curtain liner had orange mold on it. We spent close to $500 for the two rooms for 1 night, parked blocks away and had to walk through all the pot smoking in front of the Inn and on the patio outside both rooms, showered with a moldy shower head, seriously? Spend your money someplace else.

Location was the ONLY decent thing about this place. I went with my mom and aunt to a wedding that was being held there. Mold all over the shower curtain. Thick layers of cracked dust in the window. Stained sheets which promoted us to check the bed further. - BED BUGS -BLOOD STAINS -URINE STAINS Absolutely horrible! This place could be wonderful if it was cleaned properly and maintained. I understand it’s old and has character, but that doesn’t mean it has to be nasty.

The Florida House Inn offers a prime location in the heart of downtown Fernandina Beach, making it a convenient choice for exploring the area. However, the experience was marred by disappointing breakfast offerings, which lacked variety and options. I also was not able to park in their parking lot because it was full. I parked several blocks away. Additionally, the customer service fell short of expectations. Despite calling ahead to reserve a room for the following year, I was met with confusion and inconsistency upon check-in, resulting in frustration and dissatisfaction. I called the day before my reservation to reserve the same room for the following year but was told I had to wait until I checked in tomorrow to reserve that room. When I checked in the next day I was told I could not reserve that room because it's already been reserved. I explained the conversation I had the day before and her response was "it's first come first serve and there was nothing I could do!" Improved communication and attentiveness to customer needs are essential for enhancing the overall guest experience.
