One block from the St. Johns River. A hundred and fifty years from anywhere else.



Hummingbird House is a lovingly restored 1871 home in the heart of Palatka's South Historic District. Twelve-foot ceilings, heart pine floors, original doors with their old knobs — and the modern comforts you want: a gas fireplace for cool evenings, a clawfoot tub, and hotel-grade linens fresh for every arrival. Elegant without being fussy. This is a home, and while you're here, it's yours.



THE PORCH

A long north-facing porch with deep shade all day — even in July. Wicker rockers, a ceiling fan, and four doors opening onto it. Bring your coffee out at sunrise and watch the light come up over the St. Johns River. Hummingbirds visit March through September.
