“Like Out Of A Romantic Movie”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Imagine a perfect beach front setting from the most romantic scene out of a movie and that's the feeling you get when you drive up to the St. Augustine Beach House. A quaint small building (only 3 stories) that is only steps from the beach provides you with all the sights, sounds, and breathtaking panoramas of ocean magnificence. It is a stand alone building, with nothing on either side of it, so you have a completely clear and unforgettable view. The rooms are clean, comfortable and cozy in addition to being priced right- $130 for a Friday night in December. Rooms come with convenient kitchenette facilities. There is a good chance you will forget that you came to tour St. Augustine and just want to stay at the beach house.The service is warm and friendly, the location is convenient to a great local breakfast restaurant, and St. Augustine is only moments away. Bring someone you are truely in love with and book 2 nights - a 1 night stay will leave you wanting more of the beautiful atmosphere and ambiance.

Room Tip: Book a third floor room for maximum ocean view.

“Great location! Pet Friendly property!”

Huge rooms with a balcony that over look the beach. Very friendly and informative staff. Kitchenette with fridge. We did not miss being in the Historic area at all. Our dogs loved the beach. We will stay here again and refer all our friends. Towels would be my only complaint. All towels were more like dish towels rather than bath towels.

“Offseason Weekend Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

My husband and I wanted to get away for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. Our visit was in early December and we knew the weather would not be the best but we wanted quiet and a view both of which we got at the Saint Augustine Beach House. We had a room on the third floor which had a great view of the ocean. There were other guests there that weekend but we never really saw or heard them. The staff was extremely helpful and carried our bags up for us as there is no elevator. The room was plenty big enough for more than us to have been comfortable and the king size bed was a dream. I laid in bed reading while watching the rain and waves from the window. I also love that we were able to support a local small business vs. a chain hotel. We will definitely stay here again when we want to stay near St. Augustine.

Thank you for spending this special birthday occasion with us here at The Beach House. Next time we’ll be sure to include a birthday cake to help with the celebration! We agree that although December is not the warmest of seasons, the ocean views are still amazing.

Our goal as a small, privately owned hotel is to create a relaxing, personalized experience for each of our guests. We’re therefore delighted that you enjoyed your time with us – and even happier to hear you will be visiting again! Your comments are very much appreciated.

“Great views on a budget!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Offseason visit Thanksgiving week, with elementary child & small dog. Room had tile floors, kichette with frig, microwave, sink, and utensils. Pullout sofa good for our child but needed extra blanket; Queen bed very comfy with good pillows. No phone, little soap, asked & got extra towels plus beach towels. Right ON beach with great views! No elevator so 3rd floor was a bit toug w/luggage. Couldn't get WiFi to work, even with assistance. Cafe was closed for season & only a few places to eat. Area seems to be in a big slump, but there is building/renovations going on. Overall liked it but felt a bit isolated.

“Great place on the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent a week at the St Augustine Beach House last week and I highly recommend it. The staff just bent over backwards to make us comfortable and answer any questions. Our room was on the second floor and we had a fantastic view of the beach, especially the glorious sunrises. There is nothing between your balcony and the beach to spoil the view. The room felt airy and cheerful. As I said, the staff treated us like old friends even though we just met. I really didn't want to leave and I'm looking forward to coming back.

Room Tip: For the best view of the beach, choose a second or third floor room.
