Guest Reviews
What an amazing spot! I’m so happy we chose this for our first time staying in St Augustine. You’ll have a great view of the water, friendly staff, close access to the historical downtown section, and a very cozy experience in the room itself. The breakfast in bed option is totally worth it, they deliver it right to your room and it feels just like a home cooked meal....See More

We chose this place for my birthday and it didn’t disappoint! The room was cozy, beautifully decorated and sparkly clean, the food was amazing, and the location is prime. So nice to sit on their porch overlooking the ocean. The street is also really quiet and safe. Attention to detail and service is top notch. Social hour was probably my favorite thing to experience. We’ll definitely come back and...See More

We were obssesed with this bed & breakfast! The service and food was incredible. Location is great- about 10 min walk to historic district. TV was not working in the loft room. There was no signal. TV is not really necessary but after a long day of exploring we wanted to sit back a little. Overall, amazing place! I would love to come back every month.
- Meliha Osmanovic
We had the best time! The place is beautiful and super well taken care of. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and the social hour was such a fun bonus. The breakfast was DELICIOUS as well. You can’t beat the location—it’s close to everything but still peaceful. We’re already planning to come back and stay here again.
