We stayed in the lookout suite on the beach. It was wonderful as we had private access to the rooftop. The beach suite was nice because you had the best of both worlds. You could wake up to the waves and have breakfast delivered or you could go downtown, park in your parking space and have breakfast at the inn. Everyone was very helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.
We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay! You're right--staying at our Vilano cottages is really the best of both worlds (so you don't have to choose between the beach and the town). We hope that you will come back and see us again soon--we'll save you a spot in the gazebo (and on the sand!!) Thank you for the nice review! - Mike and Sandy and the Whole Marin House Team
Great customer service that is highly responsive to questions or requests.
Breakfasts and happy hour treats are enjoyable and perfect addition to their overall hospitality.
Location in the Old Town is perfect for exploring St Augustine. Exceptional views from property of intercoastal, bridge and distant Lighthouse.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Our team prides themselves on helping our guests have a great stay--we're so happy that you enjoyed their efforts! We hope that you will come and see us again! - Mike and Sandy and the Whole Marin House Team
A bit quirky but the longer we stayed the more we liked this place. Older home complex converted into hotel w breakfast. Maybe two blocks off of downtown—I think 17 rooms.
There is no check in. Good directions—they email your room number and door lock pin pad is coded with last four# of your phone number. No key to have to carry around. Nice room, great air conditioning. Very good bed. They emailed us each day to ask if we wanted drinks around 5 pm and also breakfast. The first night they delivered a very nice charcuterie board and two glasses of nice Chardonnay. We opted for breakfast in the courtyard the next morning—an excellent breakfast—small salad with strawberries, sausage, a cooked egg casserole thing and little sweet potato tater tots—all arranged beautifully on the plate. Also juice and coffee and water. Service was very fast. Breakfast changed each day but was similar. Always a glass of wine at night. You told them the time you wanted so they were ready and knew who you were. Never had such a remote kind of service which actually worked really well. You basically never say staff until you needed them and then there were plenty of great staff. Great place. Across the street from the water.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay, and that you found our service to work well. We've found that our guests love texting the front desk--we want everything to be super easy because it's vacation, and with the texting you don't even have to get up! But as you said, we have a large staff and they are all happy to help our guests have a wonderful time. (Just fyi...if any future guests are reading this and are not comfortable with remote check in, you can always come to the front desk and we'll be happy to help you to your room!) Thank you again for the great review--we hope that we will see you again soon! - Mike and Sandy and the Whole Bayfront Marin House Team
My husband and I were very happy with our stay at the Bayfront Marin House. The location is perfect; we were right across from the river near the historic district, and within walking distance to shops, restaurants and art galleries. We stayed in the Marie Antoinette room, which in my opinion, is the best room at the Inn. It has multiple floor to ceiling windows providing a beautiful water view, and a private porch overlooking the water. The staff is friendly, and our room was clean and beautifully decorated. We will stay here again the next time we’re in St. Augustine.
We love to hear that you are planning a return trip--that is the best compliment of all! And we're so happy that you enjoyed your room--that room does have a wonderful view of the water, and the porch is a great place to people watch. Thank you for taking the time to write a review--we really appreciate it, and we appreciate your business! - Mike and Sandy and the Whole Bayfront Marin House Team
Staff was extremely accommodating,. The outdoor seating was comfortable with a nice view. Very appealing setting. Loved getting a happy hour drink and snack. Needed the nearby reserved private lot overnight parking with drop-off area in front of the building. Found a place at "the Oldest House" around the corner where we could buy an all day ticket on the trolley that circles the town with tourist commentary.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us--we are so happy that you enjoyed your stay! We hope that you'll come back and see us again soon! - Mike and Sandy and the Whole Bayfront Marin House Team
