This is a wonderful relaxing get-away run by a terrific couple, Bill and Theresa. Our first stay at a B and B and we loved it. After arriving and parking the car we were able to walk to the historic sites in Fernandina Beach. We even ventured the mile and a half to the beach. We awoke to a great... More

My second stay at Fairbanks House was even better than the first, and that was quite special. This time, I arrived just before the social hour, during which wine, hors d'oeuvres and the inn's special treat, Wine Slush, are served. A Slush is like a frozen sangria, but better, less sweet. The innkeepers are quite particular, and this is reflected... More

A christmas tree in our bedroom, a carriage ride through the historic districts in town, a few great breakfasts....what could be better you ask? How about wine and munchies around 5 each night, a treat from Santa on Christmas morning, dinner at an amazing restaurant. How about super innkeepers who seem to have the answer to everything and know just... More

We had a wonderful stay at the Fairbanks House. Theresa and Bill couldn't have been nicer. This was a complete surprise for my husband as it was his Birthday/Christmas present. And the much needed honeymoon that we have never taken. Once Theresa and Bill had collected information from us regarding our trip they made it more memorable then we could... More

What a wonderful bed and breakfast for a girlfriend's weekend getaway! Rooms were so much more spacious than any other B&B I've stayed in. Perfect toiletries and eco-friendly as well. Honestly, not only were the owners the most helpful and accommodating that I have come across, but they served the yummiest breakfast ever! (Which is even more fantastic due to... More

We found the Fairbanks House on Trip Advisor and was NOT disappointed. We have stayed at the Fairbanks House on 3 separate occasions and each one more memorable than the last. Theresa even set up a whole weekend of romantic surprises for our Valentine's Day weekend. Upon arriving (late I might add) there was chocolate covered strawberries, wine, and tulips... More

We had three generations staying in this beautiful bed and breakfast last weekend (me and my husband, his parents, and his 97-year-old grandmother). Even before we arrived, Theresa was a huge help--suggesting rooms that would work for us, making restaurant recommendations. We ended up booking 2 rooms on the first floor--perfect for our various generations. The rooms were awesome--period fireplaces... More

My wife and I booked a trip to this area in order to get away from it all. She had to talk me into spending what it cost to stay here, but I'm glad she did. This place is cat-daddy! It's a terrific old mansion that's been really well modernized (plumbing, air con, pool are all top notch) while retaining... More

Theresa and Bill are the best and the room was very cozy. We sprung for the Tapestry Room and it was worth it! It has the largest bathroom with a jacuzzi. You get the use of bicycles while you are there. It was great to ride around and see the city. A ride to the fort seems like a long... More

Spent 2 nights and 3 days at this wonderful B&B with friends. Their "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" package was perfect for the 4 of us wanting a fun yet elegant time. The Inn was clean and well appointed. The breakfasts yummy and the happy hour above average. Of note, the guest skills of the owners was outstanding. Never... More
