A Storied Past, A Beautiful New Chapter
Nestled along the banks of the St. Johns River in Fleming Island, Homewood at Hibernia is a place where Southern heritage, natural beauty, and timeless hospitality come together.
The property’s story is intertwined with the Fleming family, whose legacy helped shape this beautiful stretch of Northeast Florida. In 1939, Augusta “Honey” Fleming brought the Homewood Model residence to Hibernia, a home originally featured in connection with the 1939 World’s Fair and Good Housekeeping.
Lovingly restored and expanded in 2025, Homewood continues its remarkable story, blending its historic character with modern comforts while preserving the timeless beauty of its riverfront setting.
Today, Homewood at Hibernia welcomes guests to experience intimate celebrations, romantic weddings, and unforgettable moments. Honey’s Cottage, our beautifully appointed adults-only riverfront retreat, offers couples a peaceful escape where history, comfort, and Southern charm meet.
We are honored to preserve this special property’s heritage while creating beautiful new memories for generations to come.
