Built Circa 1860, the Dickens Inn was the "original Manor House" of an active and thriving citrus plantation. Today the Inn sits amid luscious orange and grapefruit trees totally renovated to its original elegance. Located between Daytona Beach and the Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge that surrounds the Kennedy Space Center, and Cape Canaveral National Seashore. The refuge is home to more federally endangered species than any other place in the United States. You may even see a Painted Bunting at our bird feeder.
