Wonderful

As part of a four week tour of SE USA from the UK this was definitely a highlight. It annoys me intensely when people say they give 110% or 11/10 but, in truth, and if I could, both of these measures would apply to Williams House.
Veronica truly does give 100% in her commitment to providing the opportunity for a marvelous stay.
The rooms are beautifully and thoughtfully presented and deserve the 10/10 unequivocally. Breakfast was a total delight and as far removed from the all-too-common resort to plastic or styrofoam either in total or by degree as one could get. The food itself was both imaginative and beautifully prepared and presented.
Add in the fantastic location, a very short walk to old town Amelia Island, and it simply could not be better.
I would very much like to think that we will return in the not too distant future and, if you can, you should go too!
If you don't enjoy it as a fantastic experience I will be 200% amazed.

Beautiful property in a lovely part of Fernandina beach. Veronica was a wonderful host, made everything so easy and knew everyone and everything to do in the neighborhood.
Highly recommend.
House was beautiful and in a perfect area; walking distance from downtown shops and restaurants. When we arrived, we had to park on the street because there was not enough guest parking. We also did not get the room we were advertised when we booked it on Expedia but I assume this was Expedia's fault for not updating the photos and room description. We got a room outside of the main house (Island Getaway), which is not what was advertised to us. The owner was not very friendly and after we left she accused me of smoking in the room and also stated I smelt like cigarettes while she was serving me breakfast in the main house the morning before we left. The crazy thing is, I don't smoke so I found her comment to be extremely rude and offensive as she automatically accused me and assumed I was a smoker. For the price we paid and not having stayed in the actual house and being accused of smoking... I honestly wouldn't recommend staying here. We had a better experience at all of the shops and restaurants and could've booked a cheaper room on the beach. Not what we expected and very disappointed in the hospitality.
Great property and staff. It was our third bed and breakfast on our trip and definitely the best. The house was beautiful and the location very convenient for dining and sightseeing. The breakfast each day was excellent and presented very well. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into their service. Highly recommended.
Bed was very uncomfortable. I spoke with the owner the next day after 1 night and explained how the bed was very uncomfortable and that my husband and I did not sleep. Due to that we needed to cancel the rest of our stay. We ended staying at the Williams House due to non-refundable for the few nights.
Great location. Comfortable bed. Clean. No evening reception. (Bring your own happy hour.)Water, tea, coffee available 24/7. No snacks available. Breakfast was fruit and cake for first course followed by more fruit, spinach and cheese quiche and baking powder biscuit. Major sugar rush.
Gorgeous property, the owner Veronica was very attentive and provided us with an incredible experience during our stay. We look forward to come back again.
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 décor
- 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!
The property is beautiful. Nestled off the downtown area on a quiet street, but close enough to easily stroll to. The house is pre Civil War construction and mostly in its original state with all the modern comforts. The attention to detail was exceptional. The room and bathroom were spacious, clean, and comfortable.The complimentary breakfast was delicious as well. We will be back. Thanks Veronica for a delightful experience.
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.
Very quaint property, centrally located in downtown but set back from the "busy" part. The Emma Suite was a nice size, beachy type of decor..although the description says separate living room...it is not separated by a door..just a half wall so not private. A lovely hot breakfast served every morning at 8.30..different every day. The owner Veronica is warm, friendly and welcoming. A nice getaway. There is cheese and wine offering around 5pm but we did not partake.
