For our anniversary weekend, we decided to go up to Saint Augustine for a quick stay. As lovers of all things "outside the norm", we stumbled upon The Pirate Haus online. The place looked fun, the location was perfect, and the price was even better. When we arrived, it was just as the webpage described. There is no way the website can mislead its guests. Got big smiles from all the pirate decor right away and that's when we met Captain Conrad. The good Captain is the ideal example of what B&B owners should be. Very warm and welcoming, he treats you like your family when checking you in. His knowledge about all the local activities and restaurants is astounding.
The room (#6/Jungle) was about the size of a master bedroom in a house. A nice and comfortable bed with two bunks (even though we did not bring the little one with us this time, we certainly will stay in this room when we do come back). Smallish bathroom but honestly, why do you need a grand one on vacation? There was no issues with noise from other guests or in general.
As I mentioned, the location is perfect. You are located just one block from A1A (behind the Hilton) and a 30 second walk to St. George St. All the shopping and places to eat are within a 5-10 minute walk, which means you can go in and out of your room between activities with ease
Breakfast in the morning was wonderful. The famous pancakes were delicious, and it was fun to talk to other travelers from around the globe!
Overall, this was a wonderful place for a quick trip to St. Augustine. Yes a place like this may not be for everyone but if you just need a simple place to stay with great hospitality, then The Pirate Haus is certainly for you!
