A Circle K store is tucked in next to the hotel, so grabbing a cold drink for the beach is a breeze. It's also next door to the Fort Clinch entrance. (A must see!) My 17 yr old son & I stayed in a double queen suite. The rooms were very clean. The beds were some of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept on. The L shaped couch was big and comfy for my giant son. The A.C kept the room COLD COLD - that is a LUXURY. The bathroom was very well stocked. Every staff member that we encountered was very friendly & professional. CONS : The wifi was in & out (mostly out). There were no umbrellas at the pool area for shade. Umbrellas are a most by the pool. The Breakfast Buffett differs from day to day. Biscuits and gravy were good. Scrambled eggs, sausage, fresh fruit. No breads, no muffins, no toast. That was a 1st. If the oceanfront properties are too expensive and/booked, this Hotel is great. We will definitely be going back. This location makes it easy to pack a lot of fun into a short trip

They also have breakfast. Would I stay here again absolutely not. The front desk staff has no knowledge of the surrounding area. We asked about a street that was three blocks away and she hadn't heard of it. They're not rude. They just aren't very personable. We had asked for early check-in. We got here early and we were told that our room would be ready by two. 4 o'clock still no room when I said something, they put us in a room and it was dirty. The location is great, but I will pay double to not have to sleep on top of the blankets if I ever come to town again

We had just travelled 6 hours to get there and were rather anxious to settle in the room. We finally reached the owner and got to the room. You asked what you can improve? Cleanliness. Also, could have done without the overwhelming smell of incense covering up the old museum and thrift store smell. To top it all up, the comforter had human DNA all over it. Disgusting. The room was dark, dank, and had an eerie vibe. More like a haunted house than the charming atmosphere that some of the reviews described. The husb and I came very close to leaving that night but decided to stay and brave it. It was one the most horrible and sleepless nights we ever had. The experience was so bad that we left at daybreak and didn't stay for breakfast.

The room and bathroom was so spacious and I was pleasantly surprised. The entire experience felt like we were staying at a friends house because it was so quaint and personable.

The breakfast was delicious and beautifully plated on formal china. We were offered an omelette, yogurt parfait, and banana bread-- so good. We really enjoyed our stay!

We did not stay at the Amelia Island Williams House, but I feel compelled to share the experience…read moremy daughter had with the owner/manager. My daughter had just purchased her first electric vehicle and, following the vehicle's navigation, was directed to the property's EV charger. Believing it was an available charging station, she plugged in for approximately 10 minutes. It was an honest mistake, and as soon as she realized the charger was private, she apologized and immediately began leaving. Instead of a polite conversation, she returned to find a handwritten note taped to her car accusing her of "stealing electricity and trespassing on private property." When she tried to explain that she was new to owning an EV and had simply followed the car's directions, the owner/manager repeatedly told her she "should know how to use her car." Even while my daughter was already backing out of the parking space, the owner continued threatening to call a tow truck. This happened on a quiet Monday evening, not during a crowded holiday or busy weekend when the parking lot was under pressure. There was no need to escalate the situation the way it was handled. I completely respect a property owner's right to restrict the use of a private EV charger and ask someone to leave. That was never the issue. The issue was the complete lack of courtesy, empathy, and professionalism shown to someone who made an honest mistake, apologized immediately, and corrected it without argument. The hospitality industry is built on customer service and grace. This interaction demonstrated neither. Based on the way my daughter was treated, I would not feel comfortable recommending or supporting this business.

It is a bit separated from the other blocks of rooms and has its own private screened in porch. One note with the bathroom is it is loft style so the walls don't go all the way up so bathroom privacy is limited but we were fine with it. The rooms were super clean, everything was very walkable, Veronica has great recommendations, wine every night, and more. I would definitely stay here again.

It is a corner lot and the neighbors are at a perfect distance. The ocean views sprawl from one side to the other side of the house and upstairs is a panoramic view off the deck. You can feel the love of the owner in this home and how they want you to create memories here. If you look at the guest book you can see that many families return yearly. It is right down from Fort Clinch and walking distance from some great restaurants and the Historic district is just up the road. I have been able to stay for the last 3 years for a annual retreat and make my own memories and I highly recommend you make some here too.

Lindsay was not in the office, fine call me Monday. I got a call on 5/6/24 and was told there was an issue that they double booked me and blamed it on a computer/system error. How?? I had a deposit plus a confirmation email too. What they offered was a less quality, not even them same as to the what we agreed on! They did find other places BUT at a higher price. Honestly a sorry is all?? I asked for refund, however even if I get it, I would not do any business with them.

This cottage is very functional, has a wonderfully appointed kitchen with everything you need to make your own meals. There's a washer/dryer, saving you trips to the laundromat and plenty of off-street parking for 2 vehicles. If you want to go out for a bite to eat, there are endless options/cuisines blocks away. Coffee, Mexican, American, Spanish, seafood and wonderful "local" bars. Amelia Island Brewing is a short block away, several Bistros and garden cafes. Everything has outdoor seating and local music in the evenings. The Guest Cottage location is easy and convenient for anything on the Island and Jacksonville is an easy 25 miles. Airport is close and an easy drive. Walk downtown, enjoy the wonderful stores, restaurants, Saturday morning farmers market and views of the ocean. Walk back to the Guest Cottage and enjoy living close to all that's happening! We would definitely stay at the Guest Cottage again and recommend it to anyone looking for an extended stay location on Amelia Island!

At its peak, the train station served a quickly growing Fernandina Beach during the last year of the 19th Century. Today, the train depot turned welcome center, is a great first stop when visiting the island. The staff is very helpful and provides a plethora of information about the area, current events, history of the city, and the best places to go for a meal or night out. The welcome center provides a variety of free brochures, some include coupons to local restaurants and shops. There is not a lot to see inside, however, the outside of the welcome center provides a great opportunity for a photo op. If you are in the area, I recommend stopping in to talk to one of the volunteers to get the low-down on what's going on in the area. You never know, you might find serendipity.
