Additional details
Originally, the Florida House Inn Bed and Breakfast, located on Amelia Island near Jacksonville Florida, had 25 rooms and no indoor plumbing. Without sacrificing its historic charm, we now offer 22 two comfortable bedrooms, which all with private baths. Ten rooms have working fireplaces, two have old-fashioned claw-footed tubs and six have large Jacuzzi tubs. All accommodations in our Amelia Island Hotel are air-conditioned and offer access to our spacious porches, perfect for rocking and relaxing.
Your room will have a nostalgic blend of antiques and period pieces selected with your comfort in mind. Romantic four-poster beds, quaint iron beds, quilts and handmade rugs are just a few of the unique touches that await you. The only worldly intrusions are a television and telephone in each room, but many of our guests happily ignore both.
Our hotel has a number of common areas for the enjoyment of all guests. These include... a parlor for mingling or reading a good book... a brick courtyard with a sprawling 350 year old oak tree, camellia bushes and soft breezes... a small pub for cocktails, conversation and several large screen TV’s to view the local news or the sporting event of the day.
