The Amelia Island Williams House
Bed and Breakfast

One of the country's premier Bed and Breakfasts is located right here on Amelia Island, Florida.

The Amelia Island Williams House Bed and Breakfast of Fernandina Beach has not only been nationally recognized by CNN, PBS Television, and the Travel Channel, but has also been named "One of the Top 25 Inns of the South" by National Geographic Traveler Magazine.

"From wrought-iron gates topped with gilded fleur-de-lis to capacious verandahs with comfortable wicker and old-fashioned swings, this elegant Bed & Breakfast is a treasure in a sleepy little spot just off Florida's northeast coast. This magnificent 140-year-old stately Antebellum mansion was featured as Country Inns Magazine's "Inn of the Month, June 1995" and subsequently "One of the Top 12 Inns of the Year, 1995" and called "Florida's most gorgeous hideaway and the uncontested gem." In spite of the home's beauty and grandeur, a comfortable, warm, and loving atmosphere awaits all who enter to share the unforgettable Amelia Island Williams House experience.
