A piece of Hollywood history tucked away in one of the most beautiful corners of Florida. Kids of the 80s-90s and their parents will likely recognize the 131-year-old Captain's House in Old Town Fernandina Beach as Villa Villekulla, the fictional home of Pippi Longstocking in the 1987 movie “The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking”. This one-of-a-kind 2,220-square-foot home with its quirky architecture, original details, and magnificent views of the Amelia River is one of Fernandina Beach most photographed homes.
There is a Villa Villekulla in Sweden as well - checkout here for the movie location https://reveal.world/story/villa-villekulla-the-gotland-version
