    Our balcony
    Rachel G.

    What a beautiful spot. Pet friendly and with absolutely fantastic view of sunrises. This is an old school place. No elevator - three stories, quaint and quiet. Full of plants and outside guard cats. Small kitchenettes with almost everything you will need. Walkable neighborhood with a Publix's very close. There is a daily breakfast and dessert. They were all really good- that Mexican casserole I could have eaten that and pineapple upside down cake all week. They have beach chairs and umbrellas for your use. Towels for you and dog children. Excellent experience!

    The best beach stay we have ever had. It feels like a home away from home. Gorgeous, quiet location with a beach that felt private. Walking distance to a great Publix. Friendly staff who were just a text away to help with anything. Delicious complimentary breakfast with lots of amazing options. Loved the dessert and the casserole! Super dog friendly and our pups had a blast playing on the beach and relaxing in the room on the provided dog linens. We have already decided to return in just a few weeks! They also have a shuttle to downtown st. Augustine. Cannot recommend the Beach House enough.

    This is our new go-to spot to stay in St. Augustine! We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and wanted to find something on the beach that was dog-friendly. From the very beginning, the staff at the Beach House was easy to work with and took the time to ensure there were some special touches for our stay. We requested a 3rd floor room (which we got), and it was so nice being able to start and end the day on our private balcony overlooking the beach and ocean. The birthday treat was a nice touch, too. For those bringing your furry friends, there is a small fenced in grassy area and several dog waste bags and garbage locations. They also include a pet kit in the rooms, including extra towels to wipe off your dog and spare bedding to cover the furniture. Our pup especially loved going out on the balcony with us and enjoyed the sea breeze. Would definitely recommend the St. Augustine Beach House (whether you decide to bring your furry friends or not) and we will absolutely return.

    Dog friendly to the max!

    You know those reviews you're reluctant to write because you are torn between the business continuing to do well and the business getting too overloaded and you won't be able to get in yourself? Well, this is one of them. Decided on Saint Augustine as it is dog friendly and our twelve-year-old dog just had knee surgery, (so I really didn't want to leave her home). We needed to escape our cold northern winter just for a bit, (compounded COVID lock downs, of course.) I cannot believe how lucky we are to have found this place!!!! They are beyond dog friendly, even providing a bow tied package of a beach towel and linens for our dog. They do ask that you cover the furniture, if your dog will be on it, (which is more than fair). We stayed on the 1st floor which was more than fine. While the views of the ocean are probably better on the 2nd or 3rd floor, I would caution that there is not an elevator. Again our dog had knee surgery, so we didn't want to lift her up 1 to 2 floors, (and, by "we", I mean my husband). So we opted for a first floor. The views were absolutely spectacular, nonetheless. I hope that one palm tree grows fast, as that was our obstruction, haha. The beach, which we walked on several times, was very dog friendly. I would note that on one side of the beach, they do allow 4 by 4s to drive. Now, there is a separated area for vehicles and humans, so we found no issue. Watching the sunrise in the morning was not an issue from the first floor. We visited in late February, so it was on the cooler side ( relatively speaking....it was -10 F with wind chill where we came from, sooooo... its relative. This is NOT a hotel in the conventional sense, but, as the name indicates this is a beach house. So, to point out, there is no room service, for example. But, they do offer a freshly made breakfast. Due to COVID, you pick it up at a window, and bring it back to your room. The selection included breakfast casseroles. I told them I was Celiac, and they were more than accommodating. For that I THANK YOU AGAIN. Typically, breakfast included an egg/casserole dish or eggs, meats and fruit and a dessert. Juices, milk, etc. While we did not partake in the deserts, my husband could see them from the side and they looked great. Hubby was definitely reconsidering his thought about nit selecting dessert. The Room is basically a studio condo with an adorable little bocony which seats 2 and a dog perfectly. It includes a small kitchenette with a microwave, coffee maker, medium size fridge/ freezer, sink and plates, cups, wine glasses, silverware- all for 3. The bed was extremely comfortable for me, a bit on the hard side for my husband, but he was fine. There was also a day bed, so technically the room holds 3. The Room was exceptionally clean, with tile throughout, ( which looked like hardwood). Personally, I prefer hardflooring to carpeting in any room- just cleaner, IMO. The shower was more than spacious. Although, I would note that as we traveled down South, everywhere we stayed, the water pressure was a bit lighter than what we're used to at home. The staff was be and helpful, and so accommodating. I note that this is a family owned business, and not under a flag. I wish them the greatest success, and hope for openings next year when we come back again!!

    Dog friendly, and ocean front were our priorities when booking. Service was excellent, the included breakfast was not what I was expecting. I was thinking Costco muffins and canned fruit which is what generally happens when breakfast is included. Not here!!! Fresh breakfast casseroles, eggs, meats, and fresh fruits are just some of the options you can pre order. Room was clean, well furnished and they give you daily maid service (which other chain higher priced properties are doing away with), and included linens and towels specifically for the dogs to use. Beach is literally steps away, all rooms face the ocean and there is parking! Service is friendly, personable and attentive! These people work hard to ensure each guest is happy.

    We stayed for two nights with our dog. The rooms all face the ocean. The beach is dog friendly too. Great service and very accommodating. The rooms are updated and very clean. They provide free breakfast. Chairs and beach towels are also provided.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about SABH!! It was our first time and we will definitely be back. Our third floor room with incredible ocean views was just what I wanted. Kind and courteous staff and perfect location. Can't wait to go back!

This is a less conventional Hilton, and that fits very well within St Augustine, since there's nothing conventional about St Augustine either. We took a walking tour of St Augustine and learned a lot about this history of this hotel - the hotel has done an incredible job making itself look less Hilton-like and more like St Augustine. From the back of the hotel, you can barely tell that it's a hotel at all. In the valet area, they have relics of civil rights history native to St Augustine. As far as the rooms, room 140 is the place to stay. It's got a door that opens right out to the pool deck. It's a spacious room with large TV and a comfortable bed, and a great view of A1A, the horse and carriage rides across the street and the water. The location is right in the center of everything - St Augustine is a very walkable town, and you can get from the southernmost to the northernmost area with this hotel right in the middle. Plenty of restaurants and retailers in the neighborhood. The restaurant at this hotel was wonderful for breakfast - extremely friendly, efficient and internationally diverse staff made our stay appear joy. The lobby is attractive and the renovations they've done show true attention to detail. I look forward to returning next month after all the lights go up, since this hotel generally has some of the best holiday lighting in all of St Augustine. From a wonderful location, beautiful rooms, great service, reasonable pricing and sufficient amenities, this is a five-star experience.

You are within walking distance of everything. There are dozens of restaurants you can walk to within a few minutes. The hotel is nicely decorated on the outside to blend in with the historic look of the city. The hotel is very nice inside. I feel like we got the perfect room in room 140 because our room opened up to the pool so I felt like it was our own private pool. The room was very modern and comfortable. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and it was a very good experience. We also had a great view of the water.

    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.

    The restaurant was sub par. For such an upscale hotel, the food does not fit the bill. I ordered…read morethe meatballs and shrimp for an appetizer. The meatballs were stone cold and bland. The shrimp looked pale and completely unappetizing. I didn't even try them! For dinner my daughter ordered the mussels and they were cold. I ordered the Ahi tuna. The waiter told me they were sliced. They weren't slices, they were shreds of tuna. No taste whatsoever. As a travel editor I rate this restaurant with a 1.

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.

The Voco was an ideal place to stay. It is a modern boutique hotel and about a 10 minute walk from downtown St. Augustine. Everyone we met on the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I felt ZERO ghostly spirits around and no bad juju, which is hard to find in St. Augustine, honestly. Everything was super clean and crisp-looking. It was quaint and quirky, but I enjoyed that about the hotel. It wasn't your run-of-the-mill hotel. The room came with a big TV, a very cozy bed, and a bigger-than-usual mini fridge, which was AMAZINGGG because we had made a pit stop at Buc-ee's for birthday treats and fun... I am obsessed with IHG's bathroom products. Their shampoo is incredible. And the room was pretty quiet- we didn't hear our neighbors. The bar area looked really tempting. We heard the breakfast there is realllllly good- unfortunately, we didn't have time to hang out at the bar or have breakfast. We did pop into the littleee convenience/shop area for a pint of ice cream which hit the spot after coming home from dinner. There is free covered parking below the hotel (and more parking available outside), which is super convenient. The gym looked nice. I love that they had laundry machines. The ice machine was always fully stocked and working. We had a great stay at Voco and really enjoyed our 3 days there. I highly recommend it and would stay there again.

From the reviews I see it was a la quinta. The lobby was very well done, a spacious bar, nice seating for breakfast. The check in was 10/10 - the hospitality, the dining recommendations, the directions. Honestly we felt like we were staying at a B&B, that's how much care the staff had for getting us settled in. The room, on the other hand, was dated and had an odor but we let the staff know and we were switched out immediately to another. The location was great - we walked into town, over the Bridge and explored all night. We came back over the bridge to dine later on but as long as you have good walking shoes on, you're good to go!
