We had a wonderful visit to Amelia Island, thanks to the excellent hospitality of our amiable hosts and their outstanding inn. The Fairbanks House is one of the oldest on this historic island, painstakingly and beautifully restored. Fairbanks House shows great attention to detail, from breakfast to evening reception to bedtime cookies, ending with a soak in a clawfooted tub.... More

This is the third time I stay at Fairbanks House for Shrimp Fest. This time, it was in the old "servants quarters"... boy would I have liked to have been a servant! The place is kept up immaculately (if there is such a word). Every detail is catered to. The inkeepers, Theresa and Bill are super friendly and accommodating. Fantastic... More

Stayed in this charming 1885 residence. Bill and Theresa (sp?) were great host and hostess, always trying to please their guests. My wife and I really enjoyed the typical eclectic B&B customers during the House's Social Hour at 5PM every evening, with wine and snacks. Breakfasts were all delicious and we got excellent help, including the House's own collections of... More

We just finished a great visit to the Fairbanks House. Theresa, Bill and crew were amazing! Exceeded our expectations over and over! Plus Fernandina is a great spot to get away and have some great food and see some interesting sites. We used the bikes to cruise down to the beach and then on over to Fort Clinch. We did... More

This was our third trip to The Fairbanks House over the past 10 years. Each time that I return, I am impressed with the beauty and peaceful ambiance of the house, the creativeness of the room packages and the attention to detail from the Innkeepers. It is a combination of the customer service of the Ritz-Carlton with the relaxed atmosphere... More
