A District 9 established village with its own on-site recreation center near Lake Sumter Landing
Fernandina takes its name from Fernandina Beach — one of Florida's oldest and most charming Atlantic coast cities. The village was built out as part of Village Community Development District No. 9, established in September 2004, which groups Fernandina with district neighbors Gilchrist, Sanibel, Charlotte, Pinellas, Collier at Atwood Bungalows, and Bridgeport at Mission Hills — a separate CDD grouping from Bonnybrook and the other villages just west of it. Residents have their own on-site amenity, the Fernandina Adult Pool & Recreation Center off Pinellas Place, with bocce, shuffleboard, and an adult pool open daily. The village sits within easy golf cart range of Lake Sumter Landing's waterfront dining and nightly entertainment, giving Fernandina a settled, established feel with genuinely convenient central positioning.
