Florida House Inn

8/10 Good
"The Florida House Inn has quite the historic charm. If you are looking for modern amenities other than air conditioning and indoor plumbing, this is probably not the place for you. If you want a nice quiet getaway with some very rich (over 150 years) history, then this is the place. The Green Turtle Tavern, right next door, has live music on weekends so it is a little loud until 11pm Fri/Sat and 10pm Sun. If that’s not on your getaway punch card, again maybe not for you. We had a fun time sitting on the front porch, with our own cocktails, and people watching. You can also sit down on the back patio around the mermaid fountain for a slightly quieter get together. You can also make friends with the resident kitties if they will allow it. If you know cats, you know what I mean. The black cat, Mama, is the sweetest. The Mermaid Bar is open, inside, until 10ish. The restaurant, Leddy’s Porch seems to be a locals favorite spot for Sunday Brunch. The food was great AND you can get unlimited mimosas (or Bloody Mary’s I think) for $15. The fried green tomato BLT with homemade ranch was so yummy. My husband got an omelet with sausage and the sausage was phenomenal! Homemade and so tasty! There’s also indoor and outdoor seating. That was nice. Especially with the change of seasons coming, it would make for a beautiful Sunday out. We had a small issue with linens when we got there but the staff was very accommodating and courteous. We will definitely be back to visit."

When is the best time to go to Fernandina Beach?
For a pleasant experience with comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, the best time to visit Fernandina Beach is typically during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November).Spring offers warm, sunny days great for beach activities and exploring the island. Temperatures usually range from the high 60s to high 70s Fahrenheit (20-26°C). You'll find the water warm enough for swimming, and the natural beauty of the island is in full bloom. This period is ideal for couples looking for a relaxing escape with lovely weather for walks on the beach or exploring the historic downtown.Autumn also provides agreeable weather, with temperatures similar to spring, often extending into the low 80s Fahrenheit (27-28°C) in early autumn. The humidity is generally lower than in summer, and the main tourist season has ended, meaning fewer visitors at popular spots. This makes it a great time for solo travellers who prefer a more tranquil environment for enjoying the beaches, kayaking, or visiting Fort Clinch State Park.While summer (June to August) is popular for families due to school holidays, it's also the hottest and most humid period, with a higher chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
