For a brief getaway to beautiful Fernandina beach, we chose the Florida House Inn to stay at because it was centrally located and looked historic. I found out later that it is the oldest continously operating hotel in Florida, which is pretty cool. Lots of character. The rooms are pretty basic, but ours had a jacuzzi tub, which was nice. Disappointingly, the in-room fireplace cannot be lit, but this is probably a complaint better directed to the Florida regulators.
Free, good, made-to-order breakfast was a nice perk.
Free off-street parking is just behind the hotel.
Adjacent to the property (and owned by the same person) is the Green Turtle Tavern. I was surprised that even mid-week in the off season, music is playing until 10PM. It was relaxing to sit out on the sencond-floor balcony and listen while sipping a bottle of wine. Old souls and light sleepers probably don't need to worry about the noise; between sound-proofing and the air conditioning, we didn't hear any noise from the street.
Overall, a great historic hotel in a charming little city!
