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 rarely leave reviews, but I felt this experience warranted honest feedback. My husband and I…read morebooked the Amethyst Room for our anniversary based on the photos and descriptions provided online. Unfortunately, the property did not fully meet the expectations those images created. As Florida residents, we understand the recent cold weather likely impacted landscaping and outdoor upkeep. However, the courtyard and exterior areas appeared noticeably more worn and less maintained than what is currently advertised online. Unfortunately, we booked this specific room for the courtyard charm we saw in the posted pictures. Updating the photos or refreshing the outdoor spaces would help future guests have a more accurate understanding of the property's current condition. There were certainly positive aspects to our stay. The location was excellent, the included parking was convenient, and every staff member we encountered was kind and welcoming. That said, at approximately $375 per night, we anticipated a higher level of overall quality in the accommodations, amenities, and breakfast experience. While the room itself was comfortable enough, it lacked the charm, attention to detail, and elevated feel we expected at this price point. Breakfast was also disappointing; we only chose to participate one of the two mornings because the selection felt quite basic. In a destination like St. Augustine, we expected a more memorable and refined hospitality experience. The toiletries also felt below the standard we anticipated for a property in this category. The shampoo and body wash were small sample-sized bottles that did not feel particularly premium or thoughtfully curated. Additionally, we experienced an issue with the tub jets during our first night. The jets repeatedly turned on by themselves, and we had to troubleshoot the wall switches multiple times to stop them, which became frustrating and disruptive. Overall, it felt as though the premium pricing was driven primarily by the location rather than the full guest experience. We have stayed at similarly priced bed-and-breakfast properties in Savannah and found the room quality, amenities, and dining experience there to be significantly more impressive. I genuinely wanted to love this property and had hoped it might become an annual anniversary destination for us, which makes this disappointment even more unfortunate. I share this feedback constructively because I do believe the property has strong potential with a few thoughtful improvements.

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.

Sasha greeted us with a warm welcome and a plate of homemade chocolate chip coconut Carmel cookies that were DELICIOUS and available daily. Circa 1893, the house is a beautiful Victorian style that has been wonderfully cared for and decorated with Christmas decorations for the holiday. 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. Our second course was a homemade yogurt parfait and it was divine. The service was wonderful and the house was pristine.

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!!

So many small home touches, for example between 7-9 PM they served home made desserts. Parking in town is a big plus!!!

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....
