I stayed at the Dunes Suite for one night and then switched to the Oceanview cottage when it became…read moreavailable. The Dunes suite was a very nice 2nd floor 1 bedroom with large bathroom with shower and tub. Also it had a small kitchen in the entry hallway and small side room that was useful. The unit was very comfortable for two and looked directly out to the ocean for beautiful sunrises. The Oceanview Cottage was right next door and was larger with 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bathrooms on the 2nd floor with parking below. The living room and full kitchen were very comfortable as were the bedrooms/baths for the 4 of us for 4 nights. And it was just a few steps further from the beach. Overall the location was very laid back, clean and great location on Vilano Beach with a very short trip over the bridge into downtown St Augustine. And my sincere thanks to the cleaning staff! They were always very friendly and helpful. This will be the first option I check anytime I return to the area.

I stumbled across this cute cottage when I was looking at BnB options in downtown St Augustine…read more Although the cottage is not located in downtown, it's only 5 minutes away and right on the beach. A perfect combo. There are several cottage options connected with this company but we opted for the Atlantic Suite. Our family members also rented two other cottages including the Royal suite and one other one right below us. The Royal Suite is a bit smaller but has stellar views and a beautiful bathroom with full bathtub and separate shower. Our Atlantic Suite has everything and is perfect for a traveling family. Full kitchen. Dining area. Full roomy living room. Decent sized separate bedroom with King bed. Full bath with shower and separate sink area. We love it! Special amenities: although separate from the downtown main BnB, you get access to their amenities. Happy Hour daily. Wine, beer, and sangria. Appetizers too. And daily free breakfast (or breakfast basket delivered to your cottage). And free downtown parking. As is the case with any accommodation, this place had it's problems/limitations. CONS 1. Doors are not properly sealed so the bugs get inside. 2. The kitchen doesn't have much so you may need things during your stay. 3. Not baby safe. Many outlets including ones on the floor! Also a huge wooden staircase that leads to nowhere. 4. All of the windows are dirty (probably from the beach air and sand) and I dont think they go to the trouble of cleaning them in between guest stays. 5. The pictures of this place were probably done awhile ago because it is super run down in real life compared to pics. Still nice but the pics set your expectations to be higher than reality. 6. If you need anything from the front desk, it might be hours before they can help. This is due to the fact that the cottages are managed by the Inn that's located 10 min away. 7. Rental comes with free full breakfast and Happy Hour but the breakfast is mediocre. Given that it's free, we ate it. Good enough to eat but nothing special (the website makes it seem like their breakfasts are amazing and gourmet).

Make sure you specify that you want a smoking or non-smoking room. For the price, it was a great place to stay.

I found our spot to stay in St. Augustine, forever…read more A gorgeous bed and breakfast, walking distance to the Spanish Quarter, close to bars and restaurants, close to the fort and the intercoastal; it is the bee's knees that allows us to live our best life in leisure without spending too much, so that we feel we would need to do additional favors on the side courtesy of Marriott or Hilton. 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.

After much thought, I would give Carriage Way Inn four stars. Carriage Way Inn does some things…read moreextremely well, some well, and some okay. I did learn this business was recently purchased by a company that owns numerous B&B's up the eastern states; hopefully that won't detract in the future. Upon arrival, a huge benefit is a dedicated parking area around back. Unless you drive a very large truck or largest SUV (e.g. a Suburban or F250) you'll have a spot. You should park and leave your vehicle. Saint Augustine is very walkable and Uber/Lyft are readily available, if necessary. Make no mistake; parking is premium in this town so a dedicated parking lot is a big plus. We arrived a little early but were greeted very warmly. Like most old B&B's, there is no elevator or lift (which we were aware of and is no problem for us). We were shown our room (Tourmaline) on the second floor and all typical questions were answered. The room, bed and bathroom were very comfortable. Great adjustable AC (a must in Florida), small flat screen tv (which we never turned on and neither should you), bathroom with very good shower and pleasant toiletries, comfy bed and good blinds to pull down for sleeping. A big negative to the room is the soundproofing. This room (Tourmaline) is right on the front of the house and it was the last weekend of a motorcycle gathering in not too far off Daytona. So we heard mid life crisis motorcycle riders and nearing elderlies on their horridly loud motorcycles off and on all weekend; both out and about and driving by the B&B. Not much the B&B can do except more soundproofing of the windows. It wasn't just the motorcycles, noise from loud car radios occasionally, too. The noise didn't ruin the weekend but did detract. I brought a white noise machine to help with sleeping and recommend it. The location of the B&B is phenomenal; centrally located and you can walk almost everywhere in downtown Saint Augustine. Importantly, we felt totally safe the entire time we visited. Saint Augustine is a very safe city; especially the tourist, populated and Flagler College areas. The B&B generously offers plenty of beverages downstairs to help yourself to. Water and cans of soda are available at all times. Wine, red and white, is set out to serve yourself in the late afternoon through mid evening. I believe I recall beer and hard seltzer, too. The snacks put out at happy hour were meh; just okay. But there were some deliciously scented fresh baked cookies in the afternoon. However, I've had much, much better snacks and happy hours at B&B's in Savannah, north Georgia and Charleston. The first floor sitting area is comfortable; plenty of small tables for sitting for snacks and breakfast; we never felt cramped. Minor glitch; the downstairs ice machine adjacent to the soda and water was broken most of the weekend. The Staff was apologetic and ice was set out and or provided by the downstairs Staff; but this was a minor annoyance. Of note, the rooms do not have little refrigerators. A nice addition might be an ice machine on the second floor (especially since that's where most of the rooms are located. Okay, now let's talk about the breakfast...We only ate it one morning, of two, because it was straight up lousy. Please know I am in no way a picky eater. The entree eggs were not good and I suspect they were most definitely not fresh cracked but powdered, frozen or premade. The plated side ham was barely eatable; it was extremely tough and salty. A B&B breakfast should be very good, if not memorable. This breakfast was shockingly subpar. Well, the coffee I made in the Keurig was fine and the server lady was pretty nice... In sum, I'm not sure I would stay at Carriage Way Inn again. Our stay was not bad but there are so, so many B&B's in Saint Augustine. Perhaps if Carriage Way radically upgrades the quality of the breakfast offering and sound proofs the rooms we'd return.

We had a great experience on our stayed.

It's located in the Heart of the historic district in Palatka, Fl. We got very lucky to be able to reserved 2 rooms for this past weekend a year ago for a wedding that we attended. We got there Friday night at around 8:00 pm and Mr. Tate was such a gentleman to assist us and guide us to our nice cozy rooms. The rooms where clean and very comfortable. We were 2 couples, Mr. Tate was very kind and made us feel at home not like customers but family guests. In the morning his daughter Abby served us an amazing breakfast She as well was very attentive and kind. We were there for 2 nights and on the second day before checking out we again had a great breakfast and after that Mr. Tate, gave us a tour of this magic place, so much history on this magnificent landmark. This is the first time that we stayed in a Bed and breakfast Inn. And truly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you very much Tate and Abby for such a wonderful experience We'll definitely be back

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!

It is very close within walking distance to all the shops restaurants and bars in St Augustine. The room I stayed in had a very large bed, so large that it would not let you close the bathroom door.

The bathroom itself left a lot to be desired, there were mystery stains on the shower curtain, mismatched light bulbs and half a towel rack. Based on the price I may stay there again if ever in town but though people should be aware If they are more picking them me.
