Guest Reviews

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...See More

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...See More

Oh wow! My wife and I had a wonderful time at The Williams House. Veronica was so welcoming and we enjoyed the history of the house as well as her fantastic hospitality. The morning breakfast was delicious each day and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting other guests in the Inn. The house was so beautiful and clean. We can’t wait to go back at Christmas where we heard she decorates...See More

- Donald Mosby

We don’t two wonderful nights at The Williams House. Our room was perfect and elegantly decorated as was the main house. Veronica was so attentive and offered suggestions for our days. She provided an extensive list of her favorite restaurants which was very helpful. The two course gourmet breakfasts were out of this world. We definitely would return to Amelia Island to The Williams House.

- Patricia Strong

I spent a weekend at Williams House for a seminar for future innkeepers. It was the perfect destination, full of inspiration for an aspiring B&B owner. Veronica takes the time to pay attention to every detail, and it really shows. The rooms are inviting and comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to my next trip there!
