We loved the location, as it was within walking distance to all the major locations and had parking included! The accommodations were great for such an old home (you could mainly just hear louder cars from our room) and the staff was wonderful. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the provided wine (especially in the room,) cookies, and water!

We came here to see a concert at the AMP outside of town. Being that the rates at nearby hotels were more than I was willing to spend, I looked at local B&B's, and this one fit the bill between it's local and downhome aesthetic, breakfast being included with gluten-free options for my wife, and a relaxing bathtub for my wife to soak and relax. Eva was fantastic in ensuring we had everything we needed. She is an absolute gem who made us feel at home and welcome. She helped us with some concerns and requests. With a house that has been in existence since 1853, as indicated by the plaque by the front door, this has the historical aesthetic and the comfort to match. The lobby area has some lovely velvet sofas shared with the dining area, where you can have either white or red wine or water, for example. The porch is also nice for a glass of wine, people-watching, and enjoying life as it passes by. Food-wise, they served breakfast if you're able to get to the lobby before 9:45 PM. Technically, the kitchen is open till 10 AM, but don't push your luck. But it's nice to have some coffee and breakfast, whether it's eggs and French toast soufflé or whatever is on the menu, and then you're off for your day. If you are gluten-free, make sure you mention it in advance so they can accommodate you. Our room was lovely, with a comfortable four-poster king-sized bed, a classy dresser, and nightstands. No closet, but there are knobs for hanging up shirts, pants, and dresses if you have clothes hangers. I liked the complimentary dark chocolate when we arrived as well. The room we had for our stay had a hot tub and a shower with multiple showerheads. Once you figure out how to use both, it is heaven. It allowed us to live our best lives. My wife enjoyed the tub immensely, then, after the fact, enjoyed the bathrobe. I liked that the toilet was in a separate room from the sink and shower/hot tub, especially, if you need to go and it goes sideways. The outdoor patio is also nice if you want an afternoon drink, fenced off from the street, especially if you want to smoke a cigar. We have already booked for a concert we are attending in July. And that date will not be the last time we book at the B&B. It is grand.

We were allowed our parking spot at 12 even when check in wasn't technically until 3 p.m. however, we were also allowed to check in early! This helped a lot. It doesn't hurt to ask when you get here. With that said, the location is absolutely wonderful. You are in the prime location to walk to all of the stores and restaurants around. You are a small distance from the fort and easily accessible to walk. Our room was small but perfect. After all, this is an older building not a Marriott. It adds to the unique structure of the stay. It was clean and they make sure to add extra detail to small things. We had towel swans on our bed and the toilet paper was shaped like a rose. I thought that was great. If they have time to add those touches then I know the room was cleaned thoroughly. The balcony from the room was excellent. It was quiet and nice to relax on after a stroll around town. Coming and going was easy. You're provided a key to lock up when you come and go. They also provided beverages that are self service and include beer and wine. The breakfast we had the next morning was pancakes and sausage. We were provided OJ, Coffee and water. The food was good and the service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this place to future travelers. If you're looking for a romantic, leisurely & convenient place... this is it!

I mention this because we booked it the day before with almost zero research (looked at some pictures, and the breakfast caught our eye). We honestly cannot wait to go back!!!!! The owners are amazingly nice people who called us as we were traveling down to see when we'd be in, and made our check-in process flawless. The room is stunning (Fitzgerald)! Original hardwood floors, a large bed, and a shower with a fancy shower head (which doesn't even begin to do it justice - multiple sprayers and settings) that was luxurious! The internal Struggle we had with "These sheets are the softest thing I've ever touched, let's not get up" and "We are in the heart of everything: let's go exploring!!!!!" was too real. Walking distance to everything we wanted to see, and a short drive to St. Augustine beach (which has good parking) for when we were ready to do some beach time. The crown jewel of the Bed and Breakfast is the BREAKFAST!!! Made fresh daily onsite, with ingredients they go out and get the night before (they called ahead to see if we had any dietary restrictions). Definitely consider this as your home base for your next visit!

Title: From a dream to a nightmare--do not trust this business…read moreRating: I was incredibly excited to stay at 44 Spanish Street Inn, expecting a charming, historic St. Augustine getaway. Unfortunately, what I thought would be a dream vacation quickly turned into a complete nightmare. My husband and I live about two hours away from St. Augustine, and since we had a night off, we decided to book a one-night getaway. I searched online and found what looked like a completely relaxing, dream room: the Palm South room. I felt comfortable booking directly through their website because the policy explicitly noted that payment was not due until we arrived on the property. We were so excited at the thought of a quick getaway where we could just relax in our own private, in-room jetted tub. A few minutes into our drive to the hotel, the nightmare began. We received a call from the owner demanding payment. I thought this was odd since the website stated payment was due upon arrival, but since we were already on our way, I paid over the phone. A few minutes after that, while still driving, my husband received a text message giving us the access code to a different room: "Palm North." The room they forced us into was $30 cheaper and did not have a jetted tub. Figuring it was a simple mistake, we called the owner. He informed us that they switched our room because the water heater for the Palm South room was broken. When we explained that we only booked that specific room for the in-room jetted tub, he told us we could still stay in it, but the water would be cold! He did not offer any compensation or a discount for the forced downgrade. When I asked him to please just reverse the charges since the advertised room was unavailable, the owner flatly refused. He claimed he had offered us two different rooms--neglecting to mention that one was cheaper and the other was broken! Since we were almost there, we decided to drive to the property to speak with someone in person. When we arrived, the property was completely deserted. The owner refused to answer his phone, leaving us with no choice but to call the local police for assistance in resolving the theft. Even the police could not reach him. He had gotten exactly what he wanted: our money for a room that wasn't functional or as advertised. We ultimately left and had to book a room elsewhere with working hot water and a much nicer owner. We are now relying on our bank to dispute and reverse the fraudulent charges. What started as a beautiful dream turned into an absolute nightmare. I learned a very hard lesson and will never book directly through a website with a small property like this again. Avoid this place at all costs. **Edited to add that I filed a report to yhe BBB and a secondary complaint with the Florida Attorney General (the Department of Legal Affairs). I saw that this had happened to many other people and its NOT RIGHT!!

From the moment we arrived, the owners and staff were so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about making our stay special. The food was amazing--I even asked for one of the recipes, and they were more than happy to share it with me! We also signed up for the ghost tour through the inn, which made the experience even more fun. Before we arrived, they had beautifully arranged ghost story books, shirts, and an EMF ghost detector in our room. It was such a thoughtful touch and made our anniversary trip feel even more special. We stayed in Graham's Room on the third floor. Although the bathroom isn't inside the room, it was still completely private and was never an issue for us. We actually loved staying on the third floor and experiencing the charm and character of such a historic inn. There is something really special about staying somewhere with so much history. We also took advantage of the complimentary tickets to the St. Augustine Lighthouse, and I'm so glad we did! The views were beautiful, and there was so much history to see and learn about. The inn also offered 50% off admission to the Oldest House Museum, so of course we had to do that too. We really appreciated all of the extras that came with our stay because they encouraged us to experience even more of St. Augustine. I think my husband's favorite part may have been The Snug! It felt like our own little private bar, and we had such a great time meeting and talking with other guests there. My favorite part might sound silly, but it was the robes! I loved mine so much that I ended up buying one to bring home with me. What really stood out to us was how much more this felt like an experience than simply a place to stay. Between the history, the hospitality, the food, the little extras, and the people we met along the way, our anniversary stay was everything we hoped it would be. We left already knowing that we will absolutely be back--and next time, we plan on bringing friends and family with us. Thank you to everyone at the St. Francis Inn for making our anniversary so memorable!

It was okay as the other 3rd floor room was vacant. Our room is very small. The main part of the house is charmingly restored. The front desk clerk is exceptionally accommodating. We loved the gift bottle of sherry and the exquisit aftrnoon treats. Having stayed in some similar antique bed and breakfast establishments, I have to say we were disappointed in the breakfast experience. The little buffet was nicely done offering a different breakfast everyday. Our day was egg-cup day and, ufortunately, it was quite dry. Even though the room was cute, the waitstaff was quite shabbily dressed. It distracted from the charm. Perhaps a nice apron would help. I think it's about a half mile walk to the famous, cobblestoned part of George Street. We got a free tram ride back. The grounds of the Inn are lovely and quaint. It's special to know you stayed in the oldest inn in Florida!

The Inns decor was British and nicely decorated. Our bedroom was comfortable and there was a private deck outside our room. The bathroom was on the tiny side, with the sink in the actual bedroom.

It was the perfect size for everyone to move around freely and still have a small dance floor. Also the price is crazy good. You will NOT find a more reasonable deal in town. Bring in your own vendors and you can create a fabulous wedding on a modest budget. I'm not just saying that because I am the proud bride. I'm saying it because it's a recession and fabulous doesn't normally come cheap. And I don't throw the word FABULOUS around breezily. I'm deadly serious. Anyway, you get the place in all it's charm for three days and two nights. Then you can rent it for an extra day for a good price. And really, you just have to get rid of your trash because they clean and do laundry for you. How is that not perfect? Go there because it made my very special day amazing.

The Sanchez House is a romantic venue that we rented for our St. Augustine wedding this past…read moreJanuary. When originally searching for a wedding venue we had a few must-haves, which included a location with historical character, in driving distance from Orlando, and located in a town where out-of-state visitors could enjoy exploring. And so we focused in on St. Augustine. I had a good gut instinct about the Sanchez House from the moment I discovered them online, and I must shamelessly admit that I stalked the websites of every couple who had their wedding at the Sanchez House. We quickly booked a visit to the Sanchez House, because they are only able to hold 12 weddings a year due to being zoned in a residential area. We met with the owner, Blake, who shared with us the history of the home, gave tips from other weddings held on the premise, and shared some of his favorite vendors. When we experienced the venue in person, we fell even more in love with the charm that was evident around every corner of the house! The SH offers a brick courtyard, artificial turf front lawn, large gathering room, dining room, kitchen, office, two bedrooms, small one-car garage, and an attic. Not only can you hold your wedding events at the house, but you are able to stay there, as well. This allowed us and our bridal party, 6 in total, to stay at the house. So convenient! After booking the Sanchez House, we decided to extend our celebration into an entire weekend. Our events spanned from 50 to 90 guests, and SH accommodates them comfortably. The house is in an excellent location by the bay and walking distance to historic St. George Street. At the SH, we were able to select our own vendors. We held our ceremony in the courtyard which transformed to the dance floor. The front lawn was donned with a heated tent and tables on the coldest Florida winter day. It even snowed lightly! Guests had the chance to mingle throughout the house in the dining room, gathering room, and balcony. I would note that the parking around the SH can be challenging, but we gave plenty of parking options for guests through our wedding website and social media, and suggested our guests to stay at one of the nearby hotels or bed & breakfasts. I highly recommend the Sanchez House for any couple looking for an intimate St. Augustine venue!
