We love staying at the Fig Tree Inn. This was at least our third stay. The hosts are like family yet attentive. The room was comfortable and spacious, with a lot of attention to decorative details,especially for the valentine's day weekend. It's very close to the beach, we're sorry the temperatures were too low to enjoy the beach, but we'll be back. Highly recommended.

We went to stay at the Fig Tree Inn while our house was being restored after a fire. The owner was very hospitable, Over the course of our stay we were lucky enough to experience three of the rooms. Each room were always clean, and all the beds were comfortable. We also enjoyed the fresh fruit for breakfast and the walks on the beach. Fig tree Innis the best!!!

We stay every year for the "Springing in the Blues" Festival. Dawn and Kevin have always been awesome. Love the inn. We have stayed in all of the rooms, and each one has its own charm. Breakfast is awesome. One year it was jokingly mentioned that one of our party liked steak and eggs. And even though it was not what they had planned for breakfast, Kevin went to the grocery store and got us that steak!!! Location is great, we didnt have to drive all weekend, everything is within walking distance.The house is very clean, beds are comfortable. Coffee in my room in the morning is great. Looking forward to this years stay, and many more. --House Mom Virginia

As experienced bed and breakfast users we were very disappointed with the Fig Tree Inn. On line ratings looked good and the location was what we wanted but the location is all we found to be happy about after our stay.

We were not greeted on arrival and never even saw our hosts until the third day. (Although we did arrive around 3 pm on Christmas Eve, it would have been a much better start to at least meet the hosts but we were given no indication through the booking process that they would not be there due to the holiday). Why even be open to new guests if you are not there?

The room we had was small but fairly true to the pictures on line insofar as decor and amenities, however we did not find the place to be very clean or in good repair. I actually had to repair the sink drain myself to allow the stopper to sit up and allow water to drain from it. Granted the place is old but a scrub brush and paint would go along way to make it more appealling. We found the bed to be somewhat uncomfortable, waking up several times every night due to backs aching (as well as the all night parties across the street).

What is billed as a "Continental Breakfast" on weekdays is really a couple of boxes of grocery store pastries on the kitchen counter. No fresh coffee is available (the owners provide small hotel style coffee makers in the rooms but these really don't look very clean and from experience I know that they do not make very good coffee). Apparently we were expected to go into the refrigerator to find things to eat and search through cupboards to find the dishware to eat it on. I had never seen a "Continental Breakfast" that wasn't served on some kind of serving trays with coffee, teas and juices all available for guest selection. I question if the approach at this place would even pass a health department inspection as there were no visible serving tongs and anyone willing to eat the stuff would likely be using their fingers. We got disgusted and found an open restaurant. (This was Christmas Day but luckily there was an open diner nearby).

A regular breakfast on Saturday and Sunday was an improvement and there was certainly plenty of fruit and variety, but in truth the the food (and its taste) was just average. I guess we have been spoiled in the past by innkeepers who delighted in preparing truly special and memorable breakfasts.

In summary, we never felt like a guest at this place. Introductions on arrival should be the least one expects at a B&B. To be left for almost 2 days with no contact from the owner (or their representative) just seems to go against everything one looks for in a Bed and Breakfast. It's all about the personal touch. For the price of this place ($145-155 per night) I know I could have stayed in a much nicer hotel room (I checked that out) on Jacksonville Beach!
