From warm and cozy country bed and breakfasts to elegant and historic hotels, author-photographer-illustrator Bruce Hunt has composed the definitive guide to Florida's most historic—as well as quaintest and most romantic—lodgings.

Looking to spend some time in a Victorian house in a quiet, tree-filled neighborhood or at a seaside cottage that evokes memories of summers spent at the beach? Perhaps you'd like to stay in a grand Henry Flager–era hotel where Vanderbilts, DuPonts, and Rockefellers wintered. Bruce personally visited each of the places he describes here and lets you in on which rooms are his favorites, what he had for breakfast, and even where to catch up with a few ghosts.

The author of Visiting Small Town Florida gives us more charming places to visit.

Come along for the ride as Bruce rambles around the state, stopping for a spell at 135 of the best inns and bed and breakfasts Florida has to offer. Written in an engaging, personal style, Florida's Finest Inns and Bed and Breakfasts relates the histories of many of the places Bruce visits as well as the personal stories of innkeepers and caretakers.
