Perfect for our weekend getaway for our anniversary. Close to beach and historic district. Very clean and breakfast was delicious. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. So nice that they offered beach items to use (chairs, cooler, wagon, etc). Will definitely go back so we can explore more of St Augustine.

Beautiful hotel in beautiful location. Our room had an ocean view and was super clean. Hotel was about a block from the beach and parking was not an issue. Convenient that Publix supermarket was close by. The staff at the front counter were great and made reservations for my wife and I for the Old Town Trolley tour in St. Augustine. A shuttle from the tour company picked us up from the hotel and took us to town. After sightseeing and shopping all day we took a free shuttle back to the hotel. Super easy. The owner is on sight each day and helped the breakfast attendants in the dining room. Hotel had a very welcoming atmosphere. Hotel also provided beach chairs and other beach items to use free of charge. Highly recommend!

Appreciated the helpful and friendly check in staff, room cleanliness, and breakfast quality. The outside tables next to the coffee shop was nice as the breakfast area opened up outside towards the beach side. Nice central location, within short walking distance to the beach and the grocery store, and short drive to downtown St. Augustine. We took advantage of the downtown shuttle parking for the Nights of Lights.
