Guest Reviews
- Julie (10/5): - Great communication with property. Checking was easy and room was beautiful. Will stay here again next time in St Augustine.
- Darren (10/5): Great - It was a great stay and delicious breakfast. Customer service was on point also
- Mark (9/5): It was comfortable and convenient. - AJ was great. Provided everything we asked for and some we didn’t. Great location in the heart of old town.
- Anonymous (7/5): Good -
- Monica (10/5): Exceptional - How convenient the location is..close to everything!! The parking as well. Honestly, the Ac was a bit colder than we like. I wish we could control. We did not mention it to reception because it was too late at night, but we cover the vents with our bags :) Other than that, if you wear a sweater you will be fine
- Alecia (10/5): - We loved the location of the property and the proximity to St. George Street and downtown. The manager was very attentive and communicated via text, which was so convenient. He was also kind and friendly. We really enjoyed the daily breakfast that was included. Yogurt/ berries, eggs, bacon, hash, coffee & juices. Very nice. The property was clean and cute, but as with many homes in this historical district, it could use some TLC with the paint, hardware, and that’s why my score was not a 5 in that category. The bed was comfortable in our room, The Coquina, but it was extremely squeaky. We are newlyweds and this was a small hindrance. Ha. We will definitely return to this area and hope to stay here again. It was clean, convenient and comfortable. The hospitality was top-notch.
- Diana (8/5): Romantic Getaway - This is quaint little Inn in the downtown area of St. Augustine. All of the rooms are upstairs so if you have an issue with walking up and down a staircase you may want to find other accommodations. It was very quiet and comfortable. We did not partake in the daily breakfast that is included with the stay, but it did smell really good. It is within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops.
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joseph (10/5): - Everything was great. Nice rooms, friendly staff, good breakfast. Really tight parking though.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Greg (10/5): - Location was perfect and the staff was amazing!
- Maria (9/5): Superb -
- Vicki (10/5): - Great stay!!!
- Alfred (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Perfect quaint B&B right near downtown. - The room was big enough for 2 adults. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Check in and check out was quick and easy. N/A
- Lauren (8/5): We enjoyed our stay & got to enjoy all that we came to see. Thank you AJ and Ashley! - Location - perfect! A block away from mostly everything! Parking. The driveway was small - I don’t know how a truck or large suv would possibly fit without hitting their mirrors on the side walls. Getting in and out of the spaces were difficult too. Just tight overall.
- Sylvia (10/5): Aj made our stay at Southwind Inn. - Aj and his wife made our stay so very enjoyable. They made the atmosphere so very relaxing. Our location to Old St. Augustine was perfect. Walked throughout the town, rode the old town trolley for 22 stops, highly recommend, really enjoyed Harry's restaurant. Very pleasant stay. Highly recommend Southwind. Honestly nothing.
- Denise (9/5): Comfortable hometown feeling. Loved sitting outside.Clean & friendly - Loved the location & atmosphere of the home. Only complaint was the ice maker was broken. Not a deal breaker. We will return.
- Drew (6/5): St. Augustine - It was kind of run down. We have stayed in alot of old homes that are bed and breakfasts and this one was sub par. The host was helpful. It was just not too appealing.
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly reception from AJ and Ashley. Lovely porches, front and back, crystal room worked beautifully for three people traveling together. Quiet peaceful home a good respite for travelers.
- Diana (10/5): Definitely coming back! - The room was so perfect and adorable. I loved how classic it was, being handed a real key and waking up to the smell of bacon. The 11am check out time is so amazing. They were also so kind to let us check in early to be with the rest of our family who got there the day earlier Literally nothing. It was an amazing place
- Mark (4/5): Not worth the money. - The bed was terrible and squeaked all night. Seriously if you moved an inch it made a loud squeak and kept us up most of the night. Room was really small. Breakfast was like a Holiday Inn. For the money we spent I would have expected more. The only exception was the location was great and people were very nice.
- Jamie (8/5): We were visiting with friends so we didn't spend much time at the room but would recommend to others - Location was excellent. Walking distance to all of the museums, restaurants shops etc. Room was nice, clean and had a jacuzzi tub that worked. The manager was very kind and let us leave our car parked for longer after we checked out and went to some more museums. There was no control for the AC unit and it was blasting a little too cold on the evening. The bedding kept us warm enough though so it wasn't a huge deal.
- Kelly (10/5): - The location was terrific. Only i short walk to st george street. The hosts of southern wind inn were amazing. Their hospitality was off the charts! I would definitely stay with them again.
- Heather (10/5): - My son and I had a wonderful stay. AJ was an excellent host, very accommodating, kind, and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic! Our room was spacious, cozy, and clean. Close to everything we wanted to visit, as well as shopping, dining, and trolley transportation. We will definitely be staying here again!
- Jefferson (7/5): Good - Clean, close to town, comfy bed A little bit strange that there was no closet or even a dresser in the room to store your clothes.
- Terri (9/5): Cute place, friendly owners nice and close to everything! - Beds were very comfy. We drove for 21 hours and they let us check in a bit early with no hesitation. Super close to St.George St. which we wanted. Breakfast was good! Loved the balcony. Parking was a bit small.
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (8/5): Beautiful home, easy 2 minute walk to St George St. - Convenient to shopping, dining and the fort. We stayed in the Coquina room. Room was small but clean, nice shower with good water pressure. Only complaint was the bed squeaked with every movement. Breakfast was typical nothing special, scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit and yogurt. The staff were super nice and accommodating.
- Carla (10/5): - Loved this place! Everything was so close. Personnel was very nice. Highly recommend!
- Karen (6/5): - This is a lovely old home in a prime location within walking distance to all the historical St Augustine sites. Our room was tiny, no fridge or microwave, and the ice machine was out of order. No food allowed in rooms. Coffee and tea were in the main room of the house which meant walking halfway around the building and up stairs to a locked door. Breakfast wasn't until 9 AM, by which time we're usually already out sightseeing. The place is very clean, but mostly just held together by layers of paint. I did not see the other guest rooms, so I can't speak to their condition. I hate to give this type of review because the staff, Ashley and Ajay try very hard to be good hosts. As there was no ice machine, they brought us a bag of ice and a styrofoam cooler for the 2 nights we stayed, and went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great ambiance and the staff was really helpful at check in and breakfast was great. Easily walkable to the fort and all the shops of St. George’s st. I highly recommend the Floridian for dinner.
- Lezlie and Mike (8/5): - Friendly staff, nice accomodations. Delish breakfast.
- Tracy (10/5): Excellent stay! - Check in went smoothly and parking was available. Host AJ was helpful and attentive. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful! Location was perfect, walking distance to attractions, ships and bars/restaurants.
- Brian (10/5): Location is excellent! - Beautiful bed and breakfast in the heart of historic St. Augustine. The place is perfect for walking to any location and has a private room with own bathroom. Very cozy and worked out just fine! Staff is friendly and makes it easy to check in / out. Thank you for the hospitality.
- Patricia (10/5): Fantastic - Fantastic location. Walk to everything on historic district Great place
- Kathleen (6/5): - Very not a B &B vibe. We were not met by the host. I had to make a phone call when we got in. The call was abtupt. "Thecm key is in the msilbox." Not a very safe feeling to have the key left outside. Breakfast food was alright. Hosts brought out the food and left no friendly conversation. While we were sitting there finishing breakfast, they had a bug guy spraying in the room. YUCK! I have stayed at this B&B a few times. It has always been lovely. Nithing about this place would want me to come back.
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Terrie (7/5): The gentleman who was taking care of things was wonderful! - The bed was so comfortable and the bedding was so soft. The man taking care of things was wonderful. Very kind, helpful ! The property needed a lot of love. The veranda was dirty and cushions to chairs were torn. I know the hardwoods weren’t clean because my socks were black. It wasn’t your typical B&B when it came to a breakfast. They only had a single serve coffee maker.
- Shana (9/5): Very nice. - Very comfortable, great breakfast, and the host was very nice and was able to answer questions about our stay.
- Ian (2/5): - This is a terrible place to stay. Walls are paper thin. Jet bath is in a poor state of repair and in the bedroom not in a bathroom! There's no wardrobe or drawers to put and hang clothes. There's no way to adjust or switch off the a/c vents, that sound like a hurricane wind blowing through the room. For heat there is a very old, dangerous looking electric heater also incredibly noisy! Can't think of a worse room to stay, so glad it's just one night.... Also the room is not inside the main property. We paid $166 when quoted $157 why an $8 difference... If the room was $25/ night I'd accept it...
- LISA (10/5): - We had a great stay
- Justin (9/5): Superb - In downtown. 1 minute from the Fort Nothing
- Jeanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- DIONE (8/5): - Our stay was well. The manager communicated well and respnded to messages. The room was clean and as described. We loved the ole elements of the house. We enjoyed the balcony at night people watching. Easy parking access. Walking distance from all main attractions. Yummy hot fresh breakfast. No on site staff at night 😕 could use some updates on the hospitality side-offerings but still decent as is.
- john (6/5): - The room was nice , rhe staff were friendly, and the hot tub was great. The room needs a table. We asked for gluten free breakfast twice and we’re served biscuits and gravy.
- Nicole (3/5): Poor - No one told us when we checked in how it works with cleaning. We would have liked to have our room cleaned but no one told us at check in that we had to Request this and then charged us $45 for nothing. Also the TV did not work and we had to use our phones.
- Tonya (8/5): - We loved so many things about our stay. The garden tub and shower were lovely. The breakfast was really good. Eggs, sausage, bacon, grits, fresh fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive. Super easy check in and check out. The house itself is cute. Our only complaints is there was no place to put our things, and the tub dripped. Those issues are easy to solve and I bet they will be and. Great area. Everything was walkable and yet the house is enough off the main area that it was quiet enough to sleep and traffic wasn’t an issue.
- Tyson (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful place to stay with outstanding staff and service!
- Daniel (3/5): Poor - Location Breakfast should have been included. Email stated it wasn't being served. Turned out to be served for 1 hour for a price. This was supposed to be a bed & breakfast. Worst bathroom renovation I've ever seen. Zero care was taken. Bathroom was an appalling heap of scrap cuts. Building probably need condemned. Not sure that bathroom should have passed inspection. GFI Breaker was tripped apon arrival. Broken lamp on wall. No accessible outlets in room.
- Nanine (10/5): Great location - B&B lovely couple running the place. Location in the heart of the old city. Walking distance to everything. Also close driving distance to all beaches! Great stay!
- Yvette (10/5): - Southern Winds was charming and conveniently located to shopping, restaurants and adventure.
- Christina (8/5): Close to St. George St. - The Southern Wind Inn was very hospitable. The hosts offered help with luggage and was welcoming. The room was clean & the bed very comfortable . My only negative was the condition of the tub, which looked like it was chipping or peeling. The Inn was only a block off St. George St. Music from surrounding restaurants/ bars could be heard late in the evening, but wasn't so loud as to prevent sleep. A fresh breakfast consisting of an egg, toast, fresh fruit, juice, coffee/tea was served in the common room. Parking on site or in a lot across the street for fee.
- Elena (10/5): passing by St. Augustine - the breakfast was delicious and the bed very comfortable and the location perfect to explore the city
- Nestor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andy (8/5): - The shower was not large enough for me to fit in. I had to clean myself on a sponge bath from the sink. Other than that it was a nice place. We wanted it because of the jacuzzi but the jacuzzi was leaking and we did not trust using it. The door could have been broken open by any 98 lb person. So we do not feel completely safe, happy we brought our safety bar to bar the door. The people were very nice but breakfast was restricted to an extraordinarily small time. The breakfast was great, people were very nice but this is not the most convenient thing. We would come back, now that we know what the restrictions are.
- Hayden (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location, comfy bed - The house is old, but the beds were very comfy and the owners couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating! And the location is right in the heart of historic St Aug.
- Ellen (8/5): - Customer service and location were excellent.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Cute Bed and Breakfast - For our first stay at a Bed and Breakfast, we had a wonderful experience. Staff was very nice, convenient to downtown, breakfast was delicious, as were the fresh baked cookies every evening. As for the room it was perfect for the three of us. We stayed in the Crystal room. It had a queen bed and a twin day bed in a separate room. Overall we loved it and can’t wait to go back.
- Julie (3/5): We won’t stay here again. - Location was the only great thing about this property. Upon arrival, we had noticed the bed spread was still damp. Although we called and had it dried, that didn’t solve the issue. By the time we returned after dinner, we noticed that the entire bed was damp. (The office was closed and nobody was around to help) The sheets smelled as if they hadn’t been properly washed and the room itself seemed very damp. I would advise the owner to purchase a dehumidifier. There is also no way to adjust the air conditioning inside the room. Needless to say, we did not sleep at all on our one night here. We got up very early and decided to leave. After paying over $650 for one night, we expected a little more comfort.
- Richard (9/5): Close to Old Town & Every thing you want to see and able to walk everywhere. - Location is perfect.. we were able to walk to everything & parked our car safely at the Inn during our stay. The host Ms Ashley was very nice and easy to talk to & provided us with everything we needed. We will definitely be back !! N/A
- Ricardo (7/5): It was expensive stay. Expected a better breakfast for the value of stay - Location, bed Online breakfast included eggs, sausage or bacon and did not see any.
- Natasha (9/5): Superb - This bed and breakfast was so cute and in a great location! We were able to park here and walk everywhere we wanted to go. The owner was very nice and accommodating. The room had everything we needed and a great shower. We had our own entrance to our room in the back of the house which was very nice. The mattress was very thin and creaky.
- Pamela (8/5): - This is a very cute inn. The location is perfect if you’re wanting to walk around historic district. The owner assisted us in getting our luggage from and to the car, and were very accommodating. The offered free bottled water and complimentary wine. They were not serving breakfast when we stayed however it was mentioned at time of booking. The room was clean & quaint, however the bathtub needs some work, toilet was very low Just a fair warning all rooms are upstairs and no elevator. I can’t say enough about the hospitality which is very important. The room we stayed in the bed was extremely high and for me was very difficult to get into.
- Stephen (6/5): - The room cleanliness could be improved. Very disappointed in the fact it was probable the only place in the Historic District that did not decorate for the Holidays. For $700 for 2 nights I expected more.
- Julie (6/5): - Really close to St George street and all the shopping, which was great. Room was nice enough, but no garbage except a little one in the bathroom, Wi-Fi wasn’t very good and not very many plugs in the room. Communication with contact at property wasn’t always clear. In addition, how does a Bed and Breakfast not have breakfast?
- Brett (3/5): Hard Bed, no Breakfast. - Inn is in a nice location and that's about it. Not very hospitable. Narrow 2-hour check-in window and not much of a welcome by Paul when we got there. No tour of the Inn and amenities, just checked us in while standing in the dark foyer. Showed us to our very basic room, no help with my wife's bag. Had to ask about breakfast before he left, which there was none which is kind of half the point of a BnB (there is a coffee Keurig in the common area). Paul told me he commutes 2.5 hrs from Georgia and sounded eager to get on the road, which explained the narrow check-in window and phone call asking us when we'd get there even though I indicated our arrival time on our booking. Room is bare-bones, bathroom was fine, but the bed was hard as a rock. There was an electric heater rather than an extra blanket, even though it's December. They are definitely doing the bare minimum above an AirBnB and we felt like an inconvenience rather than paying guests. If you just need a room, fine, but this is an overpriced boarding house. Not a place you'd want to spend much time in.
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Jamie (4/5): - No breakfast at the Bed and Breakfast. No one available on site for any questions or emergencies. No Christmas ambiance. Dead plants by front door. Bugs in sugar by coffee station.
- Weneceslao (6/5): It was ok… - The stay was ok. The best part of the place was location. The house is old and the furniture appears to be from that era. It was almost like self service when checking out. I didn’t have a bad experience but the breakfast that they offer on the website was not being served so that was not very good.
- Rosa (5/5): Disappointed and overpriced and no breakfast - Location We were told the morning of our arrival that our room would not be ready until 4, when checkin is at 3. We arrived, quickly checked in and informed that there was no breakfast on Sunday. The primary reason to go to a B&B is the breakfast and to experience the charm of the hotel/ house. We didn’t even get to see inside the Inn. Sunday morning at 10:30 am we wanted to check out. We rang the bell ( 2 separate ringers) and called, but no one answered. I left the keys in the mailbox and texted asking that someone please confirm receipt. I wrote again several hours later. I was later informed that there was no house keeping on Sunday and someone would get back to me on Monday. All in all, a small room with no charm and a creaky bed for $390 . We normally enjoy the B&B experience and have been to St Augustine several times , unfortunately, the Southern Wind Inn was a disappointment.
- Yurinelsi (1/5): An abandoned house with good location - good location Terrible higine at the property, human hair, mold, dust inside the bedroom. The property from the exterior was like abandoned house due to the garbage, thick coat of dust and tree branches everywhere. Poor communication with the property, never answered my phone calls, terrible customer service by the property manager. We ended going to a new place to sleep that night. Price is too high for sleeping is such conditions.
- Esther (7/5): Overall, cute Inn, comfortable and convenient place to stay in old town for the SingOutLoud festival. - Cute old house. Perfect old town location. Comfortable bed, very high so if you’re short, be prepared to jump up. Very clean! Staff friendly. Only saw them at check in. Price was comparable/ good value based upon other nearby properties during the time I was there ( music festival). Jetted tub as advertised is worn and should be replaced. Bathroom needs renovation. Hot water was not working well. No breakfast, but staff was apologetic and offered a discount accordingly.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The Southern Wind Inn was a fantastic place to stay, very convenient to the old St. Augustine area. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to go to. If you don't mind walking a little further, there is a convenience store about a mile away, also a nice walk. My only request for them is to improve the door sealing around the doors - it is an older building so getting some weather stripping on the doors will help with keeping the outside noises and weather out. We would consider returning next time we spend time in St. Augustine - it was so convenient to everything we wanted to do. The breakfast included was made to order, and the staff on site was very friendly.
- Karina (1/5): Disgusting, rundown, falsely advertising SCAM - NO BREAKFAST Horrible Experience - Do Not Stay Here!!! Ruined Anniversary Disgusting, rundown, falsely advertising SCAM Assaulted by the co-owner, Paul My husband and I decided to take an impromptu trip to St. Augustine for our wedding anniversary, booking a one-night stay at Southern Wind Bed and Breakfast through Booking.com. The pictures on their website looked charming and perfect for what we wanted—a quaint, Southern-style B&B experience. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what was advertised. We arrived at 2 PM, walked around until check-in time at 3 PM, and then sat on the porch, soaked from the rain, waiting for someone to show up. The co-owner, Paul, finally arrived at 3:30 PM, unapologetically late. The first thing we noticed was how run-down the place looked—dirty porch, wilted flowers, and even tape holding things together. It was clear we had made a mistake. When we asked to see our rooms, it only got worse. The rooms were drab, with mold in the bathrooms—nothing like the pictures online. When I expressed my concerns, Paul was incredibly insulting and confrontational. As a woman, I felt threatened and had to call my husband into the lobby for support. We requested a refund and cancellation, but Paul refused to accommodate us and laughed in our faces, stating that we wouldn’t get our money back since it was a non-refundable, same-day reservation. To make matters worse, Paul informed us that there would be NO BREAKFAST included in our stay, despite the place being advertised as a bed and breakfast. The situation escalated to the point where my husband started filming Paul’s aggressive behavior, only for Paul to knock the phone out of his hand. We were in shock. The police were called but were no help at all. We left and ended up booking a stay at the Best Western Bayfront, which was clean and comfortable, though not the bed & breakfast experience we had hoped for. I regret rushing into this reservation without reading more reviews.
- Michael (1/5): Frustrating - Location We arrived only to find out no one was there. Called several numbers and finally some one called back and said we would have to find another place to stay. The only person too say "sorry" was the answering service. And after multiple phone calls, text messages and emails... It took 3 days for any one to respond to getting a refund. Good luck
- Olivia (1/5): Bad - Showed up after we had booked it and no one was even there to let us in. Had to end up getting another place to stay the same day. No heads up was given.
- John (2/5): - We arrived and the place was locked tight. We could not get in after trying several phone numbers. We had to find a B&B that had space for us, for the weekend. We stayed at one B&B for one night and then move to another one for the other two. We told two other couples who showed up about the problem. The people who own this B&B are horrible human beings.
- Clifford (1/5): do not book with them - we were to check in at 3 pm, the owners were no shows. do not make reservations for the B&B very bad management. we had to go elsewere for a room.. nothing
- Nathali (4/5): Not Worth - Property is not upkept, beds are uncomfortable, can't control the AC for the rooms so it was too hot to sleep, no cold water in the shower. Not worth the price.
- Angela (8/5): Meh… - This was a very old home in a very old town. The bed was somewhat comfortable. The ceiling fan had one setting so if you sleep hot then you’re up the creek! The entire house was on one AC setting. The room had no extra outlets for charging “new phones” and no mini-fridge for drinks (especially for those who are diabetic and need sodas/juice in the middle of the night). The tub was a bit taller than most tubs which made it a challenge to get in/out of. There was also a lot of street lights that came in from the windows even with the blinds closed….curtains would be ideal for the front bedrooms. Parking area in the back is okay….just needs attention! Trash could be picked up and the landscaping taken care of. Just some suggestions for the amount of money we paid for 2 nights. We paid fifty dollars for one night at a hotel which was 1000 times nicer.

- Claudio (4/5): Not a good experience. - There was no One there to greet us. The parking area and back entrance were so dirty. It was uncomfortable going up the stairs. There is no breakfast, or access code given to get ice or make coffee. I reached out to the individuals in charge and no one ever replied to me. for the price we paid was disbelief. Hours after we left, someone called to ask if we had checked out and didn’t even know what room we were in.
- Amanda (6/5): Room switch - This bed and breakfast is managed by a company that also manages other bed and breakfasts in the area. You cannot call and directly talk to someone on site and that should have been my first warning bell. Overall the building isnt dirty but its also not maintained. The porch on the back is falling into disaray and badly in need of some work. Weeds grew uncontrolled in the gardens and in general just a good sweeping could have made a major change to the outside of the property. Once inside we were shown to our room- which was not the room that was booked. We booked the honeymoon suite and this was even confirmed two weeks before our visit. Instead we stayed in the porcelain room. When I inquired with the woman who checked us in she let it slip that the woman who was staying in the honeymoon room extended her stay but that I would have to called management. When I called I was told there was an issue with the honeymoon suite and they had to change my room. When I asked to make sure that I wasnt paying more for this room, which had less ammenties they lied and told me the porclein room was more per night. When I questioned this further they said the issue with the honeymoon suite was the jetted tub and said they could ask about getting me a small refund for my inconvenience. The rooms are listed as the exact same cost on the website and the room availability confirmed that the honeymoon suite would have been available the next night.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The place needs some tlc. The car park is dirty, tree branches strewn around, dead tree looks like it could fall on the cars parked there. Entryway coukd be wider if they took out some stones that are just piled up. Broken/bent carpet strips by doors, it needs some work but staff were nice, breakfast could do with some imagination and small portions

- Rena (8/5): - Having breakfast only available from 9:00-9:30 am is very limited. Not realistic.... Should be at least an hour or two. Lovely location,easy parking.
- Bridget (10/5): WONDERFUL!!!!!!! - Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! Staff was friendly and the Bed n Breakfast was clean and comfy. Location was PERFECT!! A few minutes walking to shopping and waterfront. I will most definitely staff here again next time I’m in St. Augustine.
- Kim (8/5): - Very convenient and walkable to downtown, and the beach is a short 10 minute drive over the bridge. The bed and pillows were very comfortable; the room was extremely bright and could have have used light blocking shades. The room also needed more places to put your items such as night stands and more small tables. Also full size towels would have been a nice touch. Overall very clean and the staff was excellent and communicated very well prior to arrival. Parking is included, however there is a $45 cleaning fee even though we did not have the room cleaned for the 3 nights we stayed.
- Anne (6/5): Good location - Southern Wind Inn Bed and Breakfast was very clean and very close to all the attractions at St. Augustine. What was a bit disappointing was the interior could use a bit of love including the bathrooms where signs of wear were obvious. Also we were disappointed in the narrow and torn up drive way which needs much repair. Finally, I was very disappointed in the breakfast which was nothing more than a continental breakfast with cooked eggs. Not what I’ve experienced in other Bed and Breakfasts throughout the country.
- Sonjia (2/5): Worst B&B we've stayed - The property is poorly maintained, our room smelled of urine. I informed the staff each day of our visit with no relief, we had a byfold door on our bathroom that didnt work. no stoper in the tub, remote only worked on the cable box, flooring so soft in places we had to be very careful, door knob to the front deck kept falling off. Honestly we had already been on the road for 5 days and were just to tierd to go elsewhere. We were so very disappointed.
- Tiffany (6/5): Won't stay again - I've stayed here a few times in the past and it has always been great, you can't beat the location for walking to everything. However, this last time I stayed, I was charged $30 for a cleaning fee which, I inquired about. I was told that they automatically charge this fee now, but it was not disclosed prior to me booking the room. If you are going to charge any fees, they need to be known before booking. I always read through everything, and no where did it say anything about an additional fee. I think the place is under different management now.
- STEVE (8/5): - barbara was very friendly and helpful. had to wait 15 minutes for someone to show up to check in
- John (8/5): - It was a great location walkable to everything!
- Susan (8/5): - Needs upgrading. Better breakfast options.
- Kathryn (10/5): - Convenient for walking everywhere we wanted to go, quaint and reasonable pricing
- linda (8/5): - Great location. The room was clean, but quite basic. Unfortunately we were awakened every day at the crack of dawn by service trucks with back-up beeps. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was disappointing.
