Sunbright Inn

This is a beautiful inn. Our room was comfortable and clean. The hosts were very accommodating and communication was excellent. Lovely two-night stay! Enjoyed the little details like the muffins, bottles of water and coffee maker. We loved the huge shower!

We had a wonderful stay at Sunbright Inn! 🥰 Everything was beautiful...the room, the house with all its attention to detail...was simply amazing!! Your inn is so quaint, like stepping back into the Victorian era, so charming and full of history....while providing us all the 21st century amenities...including the electric car charger!!! we especially enjoyed the living room – perfect for reminiscing about our day's adventures. It truly felt special, a gorgeous escape from the everyday hustle. We can't wait to return to Sunbright Inn for another relaxing getaway! ❤️..we would give it an 11 if we could!!❤️

There are renovations and there are historic renovations. The Sunbright Inn in Defuniak Springs recently went through a significant renovation of one of the original Chataqua homes in Walton County that was constructed in the 1880's. What you see today is thorough, extensive, and an outstanding job of a historic renovation. Make it a point to visit old Florida with a stop in Defuniak Springs and learn about the Chataqua movement from the late 1800's that began in New York. Walk around their nationally designated historic district that contains close to 200 buildings as part of the district. And by all means, book a stay at the historic Sunbright Inn. My wife and I have traveled fairly extensively, and you won't find any better accommodations than at the Sunbright Inn.

The best experience ever!!!! You truly feel like you have stepped back in time. Each room is exquisitely done and absolutely. Extremely clean and the attention to detail is amazing. The family that runs it are truly the nicest people. I would highly recommend everyone stay there at least once. We have stayed there twice and we will be back!!!

This place is outstanding! The hosts are beyond attentive and kind, the building is SO beautiful, the beds are remarkably comfortable, rooms are equipped with everything you might need for comfort and the bathroom is amazing!!! All the rooms are different, ours had a huge bathroom with a modern clawfoot tub and a huge glass shower, absolutely lovely! We had our morning coffee in the living room which is beautiful both in construction and decor, and filled with the most wonderful huge windows so flooded with light. Many of the many chandeliers are antiques and beautifully cared for so they sparkle and shine wonderfully. Other rooms have balconies and/or private sitting rooms, or other wonderful features. There is even a room with turret sitting in this wonderful old mansion that has been beautifully restored so it is modern in comfort and visually a beautiful blend of antique and modern. The parking is secure and onsite, and you are only a few blocks from the beautiful spring fed lake that gives DeFuniak Springs it's name. The downtown section is also charming with a number of restaurant options, a charming museum in the old railroad depot, and the oldest library in the state still lovingly cared for. The walk around the lake is lovely, and there are may beautifully cared for old houses to look at as you walk, as well as a fountain, places to sit, and wonderful old trees. I absolutely adored this wonderful place, and will return as many times as I can. OH! and have some rooms that are dog friendly!!!

This historic inn was recently restored and it must look even better than the original! Each room has a different theme and the attention to detail is amazing. The owners, David and Heather, have a lot of experience in hospitality to also deliver great service to their guests.
