Amelia Island Williams House

Our 3rd stay and everything was perfect. The breakfasts are not only delicious, but works of art. Veronica has thought through everything and we could not wish for a better hostess. Hosea

The Amelia Island Williams House is a beautiful bed and breakfast. Spacious landscaped grounds are enclosed in a black wrought iron fence. The aroma of the many flowers and plantings are a delight. Veronica, the owner, told us the fascinating history of the house, and how it had been lovingly restored. With a background in architecture, she has continued this process. The original woodwork and flooring are incredible. With the antique furnishings, the house is like a step back in time. We stayed in the Hearthstone House (1880's) which is next door to the main house. Our room was warm and charming, with the most comfortable bed. The furnishings were beautiful and antique, as in the entire Williams House. The room opened out onto a porch with comfortable chairs. Veronica could have been a master chef. Her breakfasts are creative, healthy and delicious. She graciously shared one of her recipes with me! She keeps a large vegetable and herb garden on the property which provides some of the ingredients for her breakfast creations. The Williams House is located to conveniently visiting all areas of the island. We totally enjoyed our stay. It was a delight!

We detoured here for 2 nights on our way to St Augustine. The inn is beautiful and Veronica is an excellent innkeeper. Our room was well appointed with upscale linens and towels (Frette). We had a fully stocked coffee bar right outside our room (2nd floor) and a door leading to a deck with rocking chairs. Veronica checked us in. She’s warm and friendly, and always available to give you a restaurant recommendation or to chat. Homemade cookies and treats are always available at the entrance, and she has wine every evening in the main parlor, just to name a few of the many nice touches. Breakfast was delicious for both days we stayed, and it was nice sitting and chatting with the other 2 couples at our table. I’d recommend this BnB if you’re coming to the area.

Quirky, sometimes charming large B&B, but sadly flawed. Heat broke the first night in the wee hours and it was freezing in the room. My wife got sick. Also, a cleaning crew was loudly talking and even singing directly outside the room at the crack of dawn. The owner/proprietor was apologetic the next day but slightly dismissive. She moved us to another room in an adjacent building that was considered a slight upgrade because it was a little bigger, but it lacked the charm of the main house. Big hassle and no other compensation for the discomfort and inconvenience. The WiFi in the new room was terrible and kept cutting out. When I complained, I was told there was nothing to be done. (She did reboot the modem to no avail.) The included breakfast is nicely presented but the food was odd. I’d be happy with bacon & eggs. Instead it was a pseudo gourmet experience. Very fussy and mediocre. Also, be warned …. There is a saloon/bar across the street that can get LOUD. (They close at 9pm). When I arrived (Sunday) there was an ear-splitting live rock band playing outside the bar for about three hours. Certainly not the quiet romantic getaway I was looking for. To her credit, communication with the owner (texts, calls) was excellent, and the location is great. Some people evidently like this place. I didn’t. Our four-night stay was disappointing, especially for the price.

The Amelia Island Williams House was the best B&B I have ever stayed at. Veronica was awesome and very accommodating. Beautifully decorated for Christmas and the food was delicious! We enjoyed the package deals to include history tour and dinner out. The rooms were clean and very spacious. We loved it. John & Laurie Palmer

Highly recommend! They thought of every detail and take joy in making it a stay to remember. It was a wonderful experience!
