Amelia Island Williams House

My husband and I spent our Anniversary night, plus one more unexpected night (due to car trouble) at the Williams Inn. Veronica is the epitome of a thoughtful and kind innkeeper. Our guest room was spotless and filled with antiques and art. The dining room at the Main House was gorgeous. Each morning we were treated to a delicious two course breakfast with gracious hospitality. Veronica was helpful in all ways, including restaurant recommendations and activities. She is clearly a valued member of the community and contributes greatly to Amelia Island. We highly recommend the Williams Inn. You will be welcomed and pampered.

Stayed there for a get together with friends and it was fantastic. Veronica, the owner and proprietor was a perfect host. She is very friendly and gives helpful advice and tips for things to do in the area. The inn is cozy, comfortable and luxurious. Our room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable with modern appointments. Veronica's breakfasts were exceptional. Very healthful and delicious. The inn is in a great location. It is in a quiet and safe area with easy parking. It is a very short walk to the charming downtown area that has many excellent restaurants. It's close to the harbor and an easy walk to the beach. It's a great place to stay on Amelia Island.

Another amazing stay. Staying at The Williams House is like visiting your favorite relatives. Rooms are well appointed, service is excellent, and Veronica is exceptionally welcoming. Location is walkable to restaurants and downtown Fernandina Beach. We stayed in Catherine's Chambers which was luxurious yet comfortable. Will definitely visit again.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and loved everything about this Bed and Breakfast. Veronica was a superb and friendly host. Her attention to detail showed itself in her beautiful table settings each morning, in the cleanliness and the beauty of each room and its unique art and furnishings. We felt cared for with her suggestions for restaurants and places to visit and her daily homemade cookies and happy hours. We had a wonderful few days and will definitely return. Debi and Bob

My mother and I stayed for 3 nights at the Williams House and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We were kindly welcomed by Veronica, the innkeeper, with wine and cookies as we’d arrived during the nightly happy hour. Then we were shown to the cleanest room I’d ever had the pleasure of staying in. It was beautifully decorated and provided all the amenities we could need and ask for during our stay. The exceptional hospitality continued with daily breakfast provided by Veronica and the staff at the inn. The food was rich and flavorful, and the dining experience was top tier. Thank you to Veronica, Miss Helen, Miss Delia, Sebastian and those whose names I cannot recall for the work they did to ensure a 5-star experience. I also enjoyed seeing the way Veronica blended Victorian era charm with personal style. We look forward to returning soon!

We absolutely loved our time at The Williams House. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable! Veronica’s two course gourmet breakfasts weee to die for! She makes you feel so comfortable. We could have stayed around the table all morning just chatting and listening to all of her stories about the home. Everything from the table setting to the relaxing music was wonderful. Veronica had so many good suggestions on where to dine and things to do! We enjoyed sitting in the porch in the swing and reading or just listening to the “quiet”! We will definitely be back!!

We stayed at the Williams house for six nights and loved it! Veronica‘s breakfast are amazing. Definitely the best we’ve ever had and we travel a lot. The location is great. We could walk to many restaurants and we rode our bikes to the beach. We had wine from 5 to 6 PM every night. She had homemade peanut butter cookies And it was definitely better than a five star hotel. We will be back! We stayed in smugglers Cove, which has a beautiful very large screened in porch that we enjoyed every morning and evening.

Veronica and her Team are exceptional hosts. Superb communication and coordination before, throughout, and after our stay. The breakfast experience each morning was simple yet very thoughtful and a highlight of the stay. Can’t wait to be back in Amelia and enjoy another stay at this wonderful property.

Staying here at The Williams house made my time on Amelia's island just that much more Devine ! Veronica the owner made us feel at home our entire stay . Bed & breakfast stays are winning me over each and every time I stay at one. You meet new people and you wake up to a 2 course brunch every morning which is always nice . Veronica goes into detail about every dish every morning which I could appreciate . Also a fun fact is this cute bed n breakfast is in correlation with the Underground Railroad so it's history there . I loved that The Willams House is located right in the heart of downtown area. Everything was in walking distance from there . The entire house and rooms gave off vintage from the furniture, set up , equipment and more . It's been rumored that it's haunted here we didn't experience any likeliness of that so I'm sure it's all just rumors . I 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic place to stay. Walk to restaurants & shops. Breakfast is fantastic (both the food and the gorgeous place settings). Sit on one of the many porches or courtyards with a wine and enjoy the breeze and birds. It's a lovely house with a lovely owner who is most accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Our getaway to the Williams House could not have been better! The warm and welcoming atmosphere and owner, Veronica, made the entire two days feel so spectacular. The gourmet breakfast, the wine at happy hours, the homemade cookies and unbelievable beautiful rooms and decor really made you stop and appreciate your days. The thoughtful additions and touches to the rooms did not go unnoticed. I would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone who may be interested!

The owner, Veronica, is quite the strange bird but also a nasty anal retentive bitch! She treated us like dirt. We trued to check in 1 hour early to which she stated no way, room not ready (b.s.) I've owned a B&B so I know..& when we showed up at 3 pm check in time..she wouldn't even let us sit in parlor as she checked in the other guests!! Told us to wait outside on the porch!! Total. Bitch. I then gave her a gift upon check in & bought her another gift b/c I had felt bad fir trying to reschedule due to a lot of rain.. she texted me that she was uncomfortable accepting the gift! I knew then that she was gonna be trouble. She made us wait 15 min b/c she insisted we HAD TO SIGN A WAIVER TO USE THE BIKES!!! WTH!? Then after we checked out she ran our credit cards without our permission for $166 b/c she said we ruined 2 face towels & stole a coaster.. which we did not. We did put a coaster on balcony & she prob missed that.. HORRIBLE OWNER, CHEAP!! She charges a fortune but no fridge in room & ice machine nowhere near our room!! Do. NOT. GO. TO. THIS. OVERPRICED. B&B!!!

Veronica , the owner, has done a beautiful job with this Historical home. It's kept pristine. Breakfast is out of this world which shows the care that's put into it. Rooms are sufficiently updated to keep their original feeling. We loved it and highly recommend !

The Inn is a treasure. The rooms, grounds and food have complex details to enjoy. The staff are well trained and seem to enjoy the hospitality side of this business. Bikes, beach towels and chairs are available to guests. Comfortable bed and plenty of hot water. David's Restaurant is next door on Ash, the lounge bar was able to accommodate us without a reservation. A block away is the Schoolhouse Inn with a onsite cozy bar for a evening event. Staff directed guests to the Saturday Farmer's Market to enjoy.

My family, a few friends, and I all stayed a long weekend here for my wedding, and we could not have had a better time. They had bikes we could ride around the island, we walked to town in a matter of minutes, and we really enjoyed time on the porch outside! Chris and Maria are a lovely couple and care so much about the house. We even got a history lesson the day after the wedding! They have wedding packages for up to 50 people, and Maria does an amazing job of decorating. The breakfast is amazing, and they really go outside the box of eggs and sausage (like braised pear which was my favorite dish). We're hoping to keep coming back every year to enjoy their hospitality and the island! I'm really thankful!

Wonderful Bed & Breakfast! Very charming and romantic. We thoroughly enjoyed it and everything was just perfect! Thank you Chris and Maria

A friend and I stayed for a girls weekend trip. We stayed in Emma's Room or the carriage house. We loved the room, great location for walking to down town. Close to a really good micro brewery. Veronica was a very welcoming hostess and I will be back. I might have forgotten to mention the amazing breakfasts she prepared each morning. You won't be disappointed

Wonderful place to stay! Room was very clean and spacious! The most amazing breakfast every morning! Will definitely be back!! The innkeeper was more than helpful, and she referred us to outstanding restaurants, fun things to do, and even offered to purchase tickets to a local concert for us in advance of our arrival. We cannot say enough about this excellent bed and breakfast, one of the best that I have ever been to in the States.

Second stay at Williams House. Nicely appointed and fresh flowers everywhere. Rooms are clean but decor is dated. Smuggler's Cove has a lovely private porch with hot tub. Would recommend complimentary water in rooms or in the community refrigerator. While I prefer to stay closer to the beach when I am in this area, the Williams House is a good location with an energetic host who is eager to please.

I must say you cannot get any better than this. From check in to check out this was by far one of the nicest places I have stayed in years. The room was spotless this house has so much amazing history it's truly unbelievable. The host and hostess are truly amazing people and love what they do the gourmet breakfast was also amazing. Location is also perfect a short walk to everything. A+

Had a wonderful weekend with my husband for our anniversary. Stayed Friday and Saturday night in the King Ferdinand suite. The room was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was 5 star. The hosts, Chris and Maria, do an amazing job of making you feel comfortable and welcome. The best part is their extensive knowledge of the history of the oldest house in Fernandina Beach and the local community. Will return and recommend with highest rating. 5 Star is not enough. Jennifer and Keary.

This Bed & Breakfast was exactly what my husband and I needed after not seeing one another for 8 months due to our military service. Chris & Maria think of everything - there's not one special detail they miss. Only small constructive criticism is the hot water - with the showers we would run out of it rather quickly. But that's to be expected with an older home. Would immediately recommend to anyone for a nice, relaxing, romantic visit to Amelia Island.

I had such an amazing stay at the Williams House! Maria and Chris are fantastic hosts and the Williams House is such a beautiful place. I highly recommend the tour of the house, provided by Maria. I still can't stop thinking about it. She had me in tears. She's a great storyteller and the story she weaves of the Williams Family is so beautiful. I will be back someday.

What an amazing place! Chris and Maria really create an unforgettable experience. The house is spectacular, the gourmet breakfast is excellent, but their love of what they do really creates an environment that is just incredible. I proposed to my girlfriend, now fiancé, in Amelia Island this weekend and Chris was instrumental in helping me streamline my plan. He even did some location scouting for me since we're up from south Florida! Make sure to take Maria's tour of Williams House, her extensive knowledge of its history and the history of the area really made the experience come together. We stayed in the "Smuggler's Cove" room and it was just perfect! Plenty of room, a comfortable bed, all the amenities you could ever need... and a private balcony with a hot tub. Yes, you read that right. A hot tub. In fact, it's the only remaining pre-civil war hot tub in the country! I can't recommend their bed and breakfast highly enough. I'm not a guy who leaves reviews, but a weekend here is an experience you'll always remember. I know we'll be back! Thanks so much Chris and Maria!

The drive up to Amelia Island from Orlando is an amazing experience and you can really see the scenery change as you get closer to the coast. I find the entire town almost as if it was lost in time - cobblestones and brick houses. Tranquility. It's magical. Everything closes early - around 5. This is of course perfect as one can walk on the beach and enjoy the serendipity Amelia Island offers. The air is fresh, everything is unpolluted. Williams House is a big contributor to this environment. Rich in history with intricate decor and top notch hospitality..everything is perfect. This B&B offers 3 meals as well as afternoon tea (with wine and cheese and crackers) and midnight snacks (biscuits, tea). Writing this review almost makes me feel nostalgic. I can't wait to return here. PS We stayed in the Princess Amelia Room

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast! We were amazed at the history of the house, and our hosts, Chris and Maria did an excellent job explaining it's history and serving up some world class breakfasts. We would highly recommend this experience. Of course, we will always be partial, we were married in the courtyard, and took a beautiful carriage ride through the town afterwards. We will be back year after year.

Excellent hosts. Tasty food. Great location (walking distance from the most popular street and a bike ride to the beach). I worried about it being too far from the beach, but it's in a more visitor friendly area than the area immediately surrounding the beach. Hosts provide a rich history of the Williams House and have bikes available for your use. We met many interesting and friendly guests. Great restaurants on the island- tons of great food within a short and lovely 10 min walk.

This is a great bed and breakfast located a little outside of the tourism area. The rooms are very nice, clean, and spacious. The stuff is very nice and knowledgeable about the history of the house. They serve a sit down breakfast every morning. The breakfast was very good. We will definitely make another stop to this B&B.

Excellent place to stay! Owners , Chris & Maria are accommodating and friendly! Convenient location, delicious breakfast and will definitely recommend to others.

A great B&B. The owners, Chris and Maria really care about their guests and go out of their way to be accommodating, The breakfasts are great, the rooms very comfortable and the location is perfect to walk to the historical district. It is a short drive to the beach and they provided beach towels? Chairs and an umbrella. They thought of everything. The house itself, built in 1856 is full of history!

OUTSTANDING!!!! Chris and Maria are the owners and make your stay an incredible experience. The breakfast they serve every morning is delicious and take into consideration food allergies! They make everything so personal by calling you by your first name and are extremely hospitable! I would recommend this place the anyone!

We stayed from 10/24-10/26/15 and had an amazing time! The B&B is beautiful and we loved our room, Chloe's Garden. The owners, Chris + Maria, were wonderful - great breakfast, great tour/history of the B&B, and lots of "hospitality"...we look forward to staying there next time we are in the area!:-)

Chris and Maria made our first b&b experience so wonderful! They are so warm and welcoming to their guests. The Williams House has an interesting history and is impeccably preserved. Maria is a wonderful story-teller and is incredibly knowledgeable about the homes history. Each breakfast was delicious and unique. Our room was beautiful and included some original vintage pieces. We are excited to return in the future!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days back in March....and I am sorry it has taken me this long to write a review. This was only our second time staying at a B&B, but The Williams House is top notch. We stayed in the Smugglers Cove, and took full advantage of the hot tub every night. What a treat! We played golf a few days- but the breakfast we did eat was amazing. Gourmet cooking in a beautiful setting. The porches are great for a glass of wine in the evening, and the town has many great local places to eat. We loved Amelia Island and will definitely be back.
