We have visited Fernandina several times during the last few years and have stayed at other B&B’s, but the Williams House is our new favorite. We stayed in Chloe’s Garden Room; a lovely room on the first floor of the main house. Everything about our stay was wonderful. The Inn was almost completely full so there were fun and interesting guests to visit with during the delicious breakfast and afternoon social hour. Veronica is an exceptional hostess and is running a first class operation.
We will be back for sure! Veronica does so much to make each stay a wonderful and personable experience. We arrived slightly early and since our room was ready she allowed us to check in early. She had fresh cookies and waters for guests upon arrival. A wonderful touch. The room was immaculately clean and had homemade soap, waters, unbelievably comfortable sheets and a journal where you can participate and read what other guests have said. Outside our door was a coffee, tea and water station. Veronica was so sweet. Since this was our first visit, she recommended restaurants and things to do. Also, she had pamphlets to provide :) Bicycles were available and they even came with a lock. We loved cruising around town on them. Location isn’t far from the historic downtown or the ocean. Breakfast was excellent! She provided coffee, water and juice. Since I’m allergic to citrus, she made sure to offer me cranberry instead of orange juice. Very happy about that. It was very thoughtful of her to provide me an alternative juice. Breakfast was a wonderful fresh yogurt parfait, stuffed blueberry french toast and fruit. Tasted wonderful. We will be back for sure!!! Perfect location, beautiful B&B, staff was outstanding, clean rooms, good food, wine for happy hour was great, tons of personable touches to make you feel welcome, and the property is stunning. Can’t go wrong staying here.…
We always stay At B&B’s when possible. The Williams House is fantastic inside and out. We spent two nights in the Southern Memories room in the auxiliary house right next door to the main house. Very accommodating room with large bathroom with all the amenities. Veronica is a lovely host; beautiful breakfast and no detail overlooked. Walking distance to the historic downtown, which has excellent restaurants and upscale shopping. Very close to the beach. We can’t say enough about our entire experience. Our stay was well priced for what we got. We hope to return from Texas in the near future.
Staying at the Williams House in downtown Fernadina Beach was truly a remarkable experience. From the moment we arrived at this beautiful large historic home and were welcomed by its wonderful owner, Veronica, we knew this would be a wonderful weekend. The rooms are large, beautifully furnished and very private (our room actually had a private porch!) with modern amenities. Veronica was extremely attentive, but not obnoxiously so…as can be the experience at some small inns. She had wine waiting for us when we arrived and served us amazing homemade breakfasts each morning of our stay. We truly enjoyed our conversations with Veronica and loved learning how she became an innkeeper of this wonderful establishment. One of the other great aspects of this inn is its location. The Williams House is literally a short walk (we didn’t get in our car all weekend) to the center of beautiful downtown Fernadina Beach…where we enjoyed plenty of shopping and fabulous restaurants. The inn is also about 1.7 mile stroll to the beach - which is magnificent and certainly worth visiting during your stay. You can’t go wrong with a visit to Fernadina Beach and staying at the Amelia Island Williams House.…
I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so. My husband and I stayed at the Williams House on Amelia Island at the tail-end of our honeymoon. Four days and nights here were filled with sunny days exploring the whimsical downtown, beach cruisers lent by Veronica, the perfect host, and the hum of crickets on the wrap-around porch at night. Credit for the planning goes to my husband, but Veronica really helped make it perfect with fantastic recommendations for dining and activities we wouldn’t want to miss, like a boat tour of nearby Cumberland Island where we saw wild horses, manatees and the most dolphins I’ve ever witnessed at once. At one point we admitted we took a coffee mug from downstairs, wanting a real mug for tea in our room, and the next day mugs appeared outside our door—little unexpected things like that make a difference and are why we love really good BnBs. The breakfasts are amazing, and you can pick from two different times, which helped when we wanted to sleep in or be up early for morning kayaking. This was an incredible stay and end to our honeymoon. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Looking forward to staying here again.…
My husband and I recently visited Amelia Island Williams House June 30 - July 3. This was our first time staying in a B&B. We had the best stay! Day 1, we were greeted by the owner and operator, Veronica. She was such a treat! She gave us a brief history of the house, informed us on the amenities, and gave us info on places to visit during our stay. We stayed in the Smuggler’s Cove suite in the main house. Our room was very nice with ceiling fans, cable tv, lovely decor with a REALLY comfy bed, and our own private screened in patio. As this IS a Bed & BREAKFAST, let me just say, breakfasts at Williams House were FABULOUS!!!! Whether we walked a few blocks to historic downtown Fernandina to enjoy the shops and restaurants, or relaxed on the porch at the inn, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are already planning a return visit with Veronica and her wonderful staff this Fall!…
Wow! Words cannot describe how wonderful our stay at Williams House was. We stayed in the Isle of Santa Maria room. It was tastefully decorated Victorian style - with my favorite - cherub paintings! The beautiful old trees surrounding the property were so very majestic. We enjoyed sitting on the wrap around balcony enjoying the greenery. We were greeted by the friendly owner Veronica who has gone out of her way to provide little touches and details. Here were some of the highlights that made this stay better than a 5 star hotel: - freshly baked cookies everyday - wine social hour - tasteful decor - great toiletries - bathrobes and beach towels - two showerheads - soft toilet paper - delicious creative 2 course breakfasts served in their artful dining room - good quality beach chairs, umbrellas and bikes provided for the beach - a refrigerator and microwave - keurig, k-cups and tea bags provided - plenty of water bottles - even provided choice of different pillows! Amazing! Plus it's conveniently located - just 5 minutes from the beach on one side and the marina and shops on the other side. We really enjoyed our romantic getaway. It was also fun meeting other guests too during the wine social hour and at breakfast. Thank you for making our first visit to Amelia Island so very special. We'll definitely be back!…
Williams House is a fantastic B&B located on a quiet street within walking distance of Fernandina Beach's historic district and many wonderful nearby restaurants. The house is well maintained and beautifully decorated. The hostess, Veronica, does a wonderful job welcoming her guests and making them feel at home. Breakfasts were special. We look forward to a return visit.
My husband and I went to the B&B for a getaway for two night. The hostess, Veronica was helpful with restaurant information and attractions on the Island. She was very pleasant and welcoming. Our room was clean and attractive, we stayed in the Chloe Room which was in the main house. The breakfasts were delicious and actually lovely to look at. Whipped ricotta with berries and honey, Egg souffle. Yogurt with granola and berries, french toast stuffed with cream cheese, bacon and endless coffee if you so choose.
We booked at the Williams House for a nice weekend away to relax and take in the charm of Old Florida, and our stay made the trip. We were warmly greeted by Veronica, oriented to the BnB and offered great tips for exploring near by. The house is beautiful and set in a quite area, but close and easy to get to nearby attractions. The house even offers bikes for guest use which was great for extra sightseeing as well. Our room was just as charming as the rest of the house and immaculately clean. Saving the best for last, the lovely breakfast served every morning by Veronica and staff was worth a return on its own. Great quality and you can tell it’s prepared with love. If back in the area I would definitely stay here again, and would recommend to any friend.
