St. Augustine does not have as many hotels as Daytona Beach- and finding one with direct beach access is even harder. Beacher's Lodge is on the beach and has direct access (alot of the other advertised it, but it was not true). We liked the layout of our suite. The kids slept on a comfy pull-out and had their own TV. On the other side of the suite, my husband and I had our own room, TV, and a door to shut:) Beacher's was clean, comfortable, and homey. We toured St. Augustine all day, and swam in the ocean and pool in the afternoon. Our kids made friends we met at the pool every evening. We will be back next summer! What a winderful vacation!

Stayed over Thanksgiving, great views of the ocean. Staff was very pleasant and helpful at check-in. Housekeeping staff was also friendly and kept the room clean. Couple of very minor issues with the room, not worth any more mention. Looking forward to go again.

The location of the lodge is fantastic, on the beach with a beautiful view and close to many fine restaurants. It was a pleasure staying in the condo, well equipped, cozy and comfortable. The employees could not do enough to make our stay comfortable. Yes, we will be going back.

This was my second visit to the Beacher's Lodge property in the past four years. I must say that my first visit was much more enjoyable. Unfortunately, this time the property was in the process of having a new roof put on and the reservationist mistakenly thought it would be a good idea to put us in a room on the top floor. We were assured that the roofers would not begin working until after 8:00 AM, which turned out not to be the case. The workers began scraping off the old roofing material very early and the noise was so loud that you couldn't even enjoy the pool or ocean directly behind the property. Upon checkout, Christina, the front desk clerk, was completely unfazed by our concerns and stated that only a 10% discount could be offered for compensation. The room that we were given was in NO WAY worth the amout of money we had to pay, especially given that we were driven out so early in the morning due to the excessive noise. In addition, there was nothing visually appealing about this room which had outdated and worn furniture, as well as a dehumidifier that was necessary to keep the excessive moisture to a minimum. Being a native Floridian and having stayed at numerous properties on the ocean, I could have dealt with the furnishings given the gorgeous view of the ocean, but the poor customer service is what set me over the edge. I will not be visiting this property again.
