“Charming, quirky , could be amazing”
The staff were excellent and the breakfasts were very good, Ellie was super helpful , the room was clean and the bed comfy , the location was perfect for St Augustine. Our only constructive feedback is that the property needs a bit of tlc, the paint is peeling and the garden very neglected , there is only 1 member of staff on duty at a time and they work very hard doing all of the hospitality chores , but a gardener and handyman would be helpful to refresh the property. The flag at the front of the house ( which is charming and very pretty) was greening and torn, dead plants in tubs, overgrown and weeded garden, some of the decor is very tired , rugs , curtains etc need replacing . Having said that I would stay here again because of the staffing and charm as well as superb location . Thank you

The hotel is super well located, you can walk to the first trolling station which is 3 minutes away and you will get to know the entire historic center of St. Augustine . The hotel is beautiful, full of antique details, and the hosts are two lovely, kind women who are dedicated to their work of taking care of their guests in the best way possible. The breakfasts were incredible.The rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable... I will be returning to this hotel soon.
