The Basics

SELECT REGISTRY MEMBER SINCE 2002

The St. Francis Inn, built in 1791, is an oasis. Guests easily walk to everything St Augustine offers and then return to the B&B to relax. Some of our 19 unique rooms have fireplaces, balconies, and jetted tubs, all featuring antique furniture and modern comforts. The grounds include a heated pool, four-season gardens, and a walled courtyard. Guests return year after year for the friendly staff, generous amenities, and scrumptious food.

Stay for the Story

The inn was built in 1791 as a family home, but it’s been an inn since 1845. You’ll see our origins wherever you look. Walking through you’ll find exposed beams and period furniture. St Augustine loves its history. As its oldest inn, we fit right in.

Guest Reviews

We enjoyed our stay at the St. Francis Inn Bed and Breakfast. They go above and beyond with the service and amenities with a warm and friendly staff. Hot breakfast and espresso or cappuccino made to order every morning, a social hour from 5-6pm for light snacks and wine options before a dessert option available until 9pm. We stayed in "Anna's Room" in the main building and one of...See More

St Francis Inn, is an exceptional B&B, everyone goes over an above to accommodate whatever you need. The best example is when I mentioned to Mary the Innkeeper, that our bed was very uncomfortable due to being too soft, on our first night. She said she would look to see when the mattress was changed. We were out all day enjoying the town. When we returned, we had a...See More

Absolutely love staying here! And no, you do not have to be a "ghost hunter" type person to appreciate and enjoy your stay here! We especially enjoy staying in the cottage. Apart from the main building, but just steps away, the front of the cottage faces the courtyard and is particularly stress-free as you can choose your level of interaction or seclusion and not feel you are missing anything....See More

cute inn with some history. a nice breakfast, and they also have a ‘happy hour’ and dessert available, which is great. at the end of the day, the bed wasn’t comfortable, and the room was fine at best. we were told it was kid-friendly, but we had the only kid we saw, and it seemed like everyone was sort of annoyed about it. 7.4/10, will likely try another place...See More
