Whenever I am near south Jacksonville, I want to visit Club Continental on the St. Johns River. Built in 1923 as the winter home of Caleb Johnson, heir to the Palmolive Soap Company, The Club Continental is now a romantic and intimate Inn, Private Club, and Special Events Venue.

The original house is lovely and the river suites allow you to sit on your balcony and enjoy a wonderful view of the river. What a peaceful and beautiful place, where you step back in time to Old World Florida. Majestic Live Oaks draped in Spanish moss beckon you to a leisurely stroll in the gardens that host many Southern favorites such as camellias, magnolias, azaleas, and hydrangeas. There are Tennis Courts, Pool & Cabana, onsite Pub House, plus an upscale Restaurant. The Mansion features seven Bed & Breakfast-style rooms, each beautifully decorated in its own unique European style. Fifteen oversized luxurious rooms, each with a private balcony overlooking the St. John’s River and boasting its own distinctive décor make up the River Suites. I’ve spent many nights enjoying this beautiful property, sitting on the balcony over the river and sipping a good glass of wine and looking up at the stars.
