The Inn is a non-smoking establishment, with smoking allowed only in the driveway. Check-in is from 3 PM to 6 PM; late arrivals without notification incur a fee of $15.00 per hour.

“I think this Victorian bed and breakfast balances historic charm with modern needs; rooms range from comfortable to somewhat cluttered, but its location near St. Augustine's historic district is a real advantage. The inn provides a social happy hour and quality breakfast, which foster a sense of community. While parking may be tricky for larger vehicles, the property's pet-friendly policy could appeal to some.”
