Delightful bed and breakfast…read more House full of history. You would think some of the furnishings were original. According to the welcome booklet, all the original furnishings were sold off decades ago. All the rooms are open to exploration if they are not currently being occupied. Most of the guests stayed on the 3rd floor while I was there. Enjoyed room 304. Felt like I was back in time. Imagined I was renting the room, back in the boarding house days. Staff was open and friendly. Few notes: my room was missing a bed skirt. All the other rooms had one. Small thing really. Post cards and mugs were out of stock for sale. Prefer more house made items for breakfast. Fresh juice, one baked good, etc. Property has 2 porches and ver little yard or outside sitting options. Would have loved to play a local with the rocking chairs on the front porch rather the side. Again. Preference. Would stay here again.

In short order after purchasing the Cedar Oak, which was a successful restaurant he closed it and piled junk in front of the entrance. Repairs at the Spencer House were shut down because permits were not pulled. Similarly repairs at the The Club At Osprey Cove were shut down by the city and maintenance is non existent. The pool bathrooms have been demolished sans permit. The main Clubhouse for has been shut down because they allowed the fire suppression system to become non functional. So no pro shop, no tee times, no restaurant and no bar. Plus no food or drinks at the Tiki Bar. Here are current photos of the destroyed bathrooms, and visual evidence of how well brham maintains their properties as evidenced by the pool.

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.

We were locked out of our rooms at night with no one to contact and all of our stuff still in the room. We had to rent a hotel room elsewhere because there wasn't an after hours contact. Lisa and Bob said they "forgot" to provide the after hours contact information. If we are paying $400/night, we expect a certain level of service and this isn't it. Any hotel in the surrounding area is worth it over this place. The rooms are sub par and like others mentioned, breakfast is probably better at McDonald's. Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere.

It's located in a highly walkable area of town with trendy restaurants and bars that will suit everyone. I stayed in the Barnett room, which is spacious and comfortable. The linens and towels were high quality, the bed was very comfortable, and there were water bottles left out for me. I slept very well and each morning Joan prepared a five-star breakfast. She asked me what time I'd prefer to eat and provided options to suit my tastes. They're easy going and willing to share tips on things to do around town if you're interested. You won't find more gracious hosts than Joan and Dan. They made my trip to Jacksonville very memorable!

Down and Dirty: great location, great host, fun happy hour in the pub, comfortable surroundings,…read morebedroom was clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you would need. pool area and Jacuzzi was spacious and private. Highly recommend if you're in the area and would definitely come back. Booking: Easy online booking. Had every room listed separately with their own photos, pricing and availability. Made is easy to pick the room you wanted. Only other thing that would have been good was to add maybe a blue print of the home with each room marked on it so you had a better visual to where your room was in regards to the main roads. Service: Pre-communication was great! Jamie contacted us via text to confirm the time of arrival and any food or allergy restrictions along with preferred breakfast time. Upon arriving, Todd greeted us and gave us the grand tour and answered any questions that we had. Happy hour was from 4 to 5 each day and we arrived right at four, so it was perfect timing to check in, drop off our things, and grab a free cocktail! Breakfast each morning was right on time and delicious. Recommendations for food and other surrounding activities was provided. Room: The bed and bedding was comfortable and all toiletries were provided. Size of the room was perfect. Our room overlooked the corner of the main street so traffic made it a little noisy so I would probably stay in a different room. Next time I come. However, earplugs were provided on your bedside table upon checking in. The only thing that could have made the room better is brighter lighting or some type of vanity for applying make up and doing your hair. The lighting in the bathroom was OK but not as well lit as you would need when getting ready for the day. Location: The location was ideal! We parked our car upon check-in, and did not get back in it until we left to go home. We walked everywhere. We couldn't have found a better location that was far enough from the busy part of Amelia Island, but close enough for everything to be in walking distance.

This location is close enough to home (Savannah) and far enough that I don't get bothered by the drive there and back. We pulled up on an extremely rainy Friday night in December, and the drive down the driveway was so lovely! I felt like Horse Stamp Inn was eagerly awaiting my arrival. December may be a dreary month to visit because of the cold and the rain, but it's lovely for all the holiday decor! Pam greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the home. We were the only couple staying that weekend so we were able to glance at all the rooms. They even have an elevator! We stayed in the Seabiscuit room, which is the most luxurious room they have to offer. You'll be presented with a bed made for a Queen, all the pillows you can imagine, a day bed, a large walk in closet, a jacuzzi spa and his and her shower (one shower, two shower heads) and sink. Plus you have access to the private balcony that overlooks the home's entrance, with a view of the horses Belle and Sarge in a distance. I'm telling you, you'll feel like a Queen. Downstairs they had a coffee, tea and hot chocolate bar, with lemonade and sweet tea set out too. Tim and Pam were lovely hosts that really made us feel welcomed and cared for. I'm not going to reveal what breakfast consisted of, nor did I take any pictures of that, so I'll leave it to the Innkeepers to surprise you with that. I don't want to ruin the breakfast part of your stay! I highly recommend this to any couple considering a getaway!
