We stayed here for our 40th anniversary. Lovely property, room, comfy bed and great staff. Across the street from the bay you have sailboats and schooners . Great views from the Verandas.

It was a great location being right…read moreacross the street from the water and a couple of blocks off the main drag to provide less traffic and noise. Our room was spacious with a nice king sized bed. Shower had room for two. We also had a bench on the deck outside of our room. I sat there and read the paper. I loved discovering a cat curled up there on our last day who was friendly and enjoying the morning sun. Breakfast was delicious with an egg bake and waffle our two days. With fresh fruit, bread board, juice, and coffee, there was more than enough to eat. They also hosted a social for the guests but the timing didn't work out for us to attend. It was quite the spread when we peaked in one night. We really enjoyed eating our breakfast outside on the large porch. The first day it was raining but we were covered so not an issue. The second day it was sunny and clear. Beautiful views of the water. The staff was fantastic and took care of all of our needs. Great 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.

The property has 9 bedrooms and even with being completely full while we were there it was cozy and relaxing. Happy hour is from 4-5 daily with your selection of white or red wine. They offer complimentary non-alcoholic beverages all day and breakfast is at 9am every day. This trip, we only stayed one night but we will go back and stay longer. Breakfast consists of two courses - savory & sweet and the portions were generous. We had egg aviles, with seasoned tomatoes and home fries.

I used "reservationdesk.com" (Expedia-?) to make this reservation. The agent PROMISED that we would be on a second floor with a BAYFRONT VIEW. When we arrived at the MARIN HOUSE B&B, there was no waterfront view at all, and we were on the first floor, crammed into a little corner on the property. At check-in, we were basically told that, it's your problem because we used a third-party ("reservationdesk.com"). FINALLY, a week later, we finally got our receipt. Marin House said that they could not even give us a receipt because we went through a third-party. So, one week later, I see that we were charged for three nights, even though we checked out after the first night. ReservationDesk.com said that they contacted Marin House, who told them that since we checked out after the first night, it was against their B&B POLICY, and they are refusing to refund FOR THE TWO NIGHTS THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN THERE!!!!! EVEN THOUGH WE WERE LIED TO ABOUT THE ROOM. Sandy, the owner, got her britches into a big bunch because we were singing, and our choice of language apparently offended the geriatric crowd there.... SO, FOR ONE NIGHT, SANDY @ MARIN HOUSE IS CHARGING US OVER $1,500.00‼‼‼. THIEVES. THIEVES. THIEVES. STAY AWAY FROM THESE THIEVES.

Initial Reaction: My mom had initially stayed at the Casa Monica a while back. I had remembered…read morethis hotel was in downtown Saint Augustine, across from Flagler College, when we were going to spend the night in town. I'm glad we did, as we had a lovely night. The room was nice and spacious, with odd closets, but they worked for the time we were spending there. They also had robes if we needed to be bougie and prance around. We slept well and had a nice view of the square between the Lightner Mansion and Flagler College. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. They gave good recommendations on how to get around Saint Augustine, which had been a minute for me, so it was good to get a refresher. Sparkling wine at the front desk when we checked in was excellent and helped us unwind after the drive from South Florida. They have a gym and pool that I believe is accessible through the second floor, so I will have to remember that for our return trip. Also, they have a Starbucks on the lobby floor, which was great to get our morning pick-me-up. The bar and restaurant were very stylish, lots of Spanish influence from the 15th and 16th centuries. The cocktails were also solid. I didn't care for the water pressure and temperature, as they were difficult to adjust and ensure we were getting the correct settings. It was pretty scalding hot, so it took a couple of minutes to get it right, and then I kept it on the setting for my wife since I didn't want her struggling to mess with it. Apart from that, the experience was great. We enjoyed the sparkling wine and the accommodations when we checked in. The valet was good to have, as I didn't want to mess with street parking, but it is more expensive; take note.
