About
If you're after a romantic waterfront stay with historic charm, the Bayfront Marin House in St. Augustine is a solid pick. This 17-room bed and breakfast sits across from Matanzas Bay, offering views of the Bridge of Lions and the lighthouse. Originally three separate houses, the oldest section dates to 1790 and is built of coquina, with remnants of ox-blood paint still visible. The Victorian front part adds big breezy porches overlooking the bay. Rooms mix modern amenities like glass showers and Jacuzzis with hardwood floors and original fireplaces. The inn is dog-friendly and has private entrances and individual thermostats for privacy.
The place is run by Mike and Sandy, who bought it in 2010 after restoring historic properties in Cape May and Galveston. Mike left his programming job and now plans vacations for guests. Breakfast is included, and you're just a short walk from the historic Castillo de San Marcos and dining. For a different vibe, you might also check out the Embassy Suites Jacksonville-Baymeadows . Best time to visit? Weekdays tend to be quieter, and the innkeepers are known for personalized service.
