Most options were either sold out or priced at $800+ per night, so we felt incredibly lucky to find availability at Marker 8 Hotel and Marina for $360/night. The hotel was wonderful. The staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming. They greeted us with big smiles, provided a map of the town, and even offered restaurant recommendations. The location, though, was definitely the highlight. The hotel sits right next to the bridge that leads directly into downtown. They even have a private gate that opens onto the walkway, making access incredibly convenient. We loved being able to stay in a quiet, uncrowded area while still being just a short walk (1/2 mile) from all the excitement. Parking was also a positive experience. We arrived around 3:30 p.m., and the lot was mostly empty, allowing us to park right in front of our room. By around 8 p.m., the lot did fill up, so guests arriving later may want to be mindful of that. Our room was very clean, and the king bed was super comfy. Some of the furniture, particularly the bathroom shelving, was a bit dated, but everything was well-maintained and spotless, so we had no complaints. One of our favorite features was the beautiful view from the patio. The sunset from our room was breathtaking! Our room faced the marina, so we loved walking out to the pier to see the boats and watch the sea life in the water. The weather was perfect, so we took full advantage of exploring the marina area. Overall, we loved this hotel and would absolutely return. The location could not have been better for enjoying Nights of Lights.

Check-in is just weird, since management has decided that a kiosk with a video service rep on another continent is the same as in-person help. The kiosk is loud and the service rep unfriendly- but after waiting our turn, we got our keys and moved into our ocean view balcony room. Then we saw that in order to get to the 1-acre "private beach" (FYI: there is no such thing as a private beach in FL, only private access), families were having to carry their children and run across the busy highway between trucks in a sprint to avoid death. No crosswalk, no flashing lights, not even a sign asking cars to be aware. On the other side of the highway, the sand is washed out and uneven sandbags act as a makeshift stairway to the beach. The ironic & defunct wooden stairway to nowhere with a "hotel guests only" sign appears to get more maintenance than the functional beach access. But whatever. We can run across a dangerous highway for a good beach. We went out to explore the city and had a fabulous night, only to came home ready for sleep around 10pm to a room at 80 degrees & extreme humidity. Turns out they turn off your a/c when you're away. I called the front desk but the help was off-location (overseas) and gave me a number for the "regional manager". I immediately called and was sent directly to vm. I told his vm how upset we were. Then we couldn't sleep until the temperature finally got below 75... after 1am. The a/c took forever to recover. He never returned my call. The next day, we had a nice breakfast in the lobby and then hit the beach before exploring more of the city until around 11pm. We returned to the hotel to see people literally running out with their bags warning us about the cockroaches. We just wanted sleep - but our room was 80 degrees again! Again, I called the "front desk" in another country and was given the phone number for the "regional manager". I called and left a nearly identical message from the night before. No response. The next morning, we checked out. The regional manager never has reached out to me. The front desk never followed up. But we did receive an additional $17 charge for a wash cloth that was apparently stained beyond recovery. (It was lipstick. It got on my dress, too. Came out in a regular load of laundry.) This hotel represents everything that is wrong with Florida tourism in 2026. I wanted to fall in love with Ocean Sands but there is no

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!!

We loved the location, as it was within walking distance to all the major locations and had parking included!

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.

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!

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!
