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.

We stayed at Sailor's Rest in the 1894 House. It was incredible - very clean, spacious, and private. We were thrilled to have our own assigned parking place.

We loved being immersed in the history of both the Inn and the 1894 House. Both are...See More
