Florida Getaways
Inns, B&B's, Historic Hotels

These getaways will make you feel like you are a guest in somebody's home, because quite often you are.

The places on our website are selected because of their convenient locations in areas of historical significance.

Many of these getaways are bed and breakfast inns or historic hotels.

They are usually furnished with period pieces and have quite often been restored.

Our recommended getaways are part of Florida history and heritage.

As someone who loves Florida history, I enjoy staying in historic places including b&b's, hotels and inns.

It's nice to park the car and be able to walk to lunch, dinner, art festivals, theater, museums and other nearby attractions.

I try to identify historic Florida hotels or inns in each region and the towns they are located in. The closer they are to the historic downtown area the better they are as Florida getaways.

This website will identify at least one b&b inn or historic hotel for each town listed. If a town does not have an inn or bed and breakfast, one nearby will be listed.
