Bed & Breakfasts & Inns in St. Augustine
Historic homes turned guest houses , full breakfast, downtown locations, and innkeepers who know the city better than any concierge.
St. Augustine has more bed and breakfasts per capita than almost any small city in Florida. Most are 18th- or 19th-century homes inside or right next to the historic district, restored over decades and run by long-time owners who treat the property as a personal project rather than a business unit.
The experience is different from a hotel. Full breakfast served in a dining room. Wine-and-cheese hour many afternoons. Innkeepers who know the city by heart and will happily make a dinner reservation, recommend a tour, or warn you off a bad block. Rooms are individually decorated, which means no two are alike , read the descriptions for what fits your trip.
Most B&Bs are walk-everywhere properties. The Castillo, the bayfront, St. George Street, and most of the city’s best restaurants are within a 5-15 minute walk of the inns clustered in the historic district. If you want a parking-free, pedestrian-paced visit, this is the lodging style for it.

What to Know
Breakfast
Full breakfast is standard , usually a hot main course plus fruit, baked goods, and coffee. Most inns serve breakfast in a single seating window between 8 and 10 AM. Confirm dietary needs at booking.
Parking
Many historic-district inns offer on-site parking, but spaces are tight. Some use nearby municipal lots. If you’re bringing a vehicle, confirm parking specifics at booking.
Children Policy
Some B&Bs are adult-focused (over 12 only). Several welcome families and have suites or cottages set up for kids. Ask before you book if traveling with children.
Walking Distance
Most B&Bs are inside the historic district or on its edge. The Castillo, Flagler College, the bayfront, and St. George Street are all 5, 15 minutes away on foot.
Booking Direct
Booking direct via the inn’s website often gets you better rates and free upgrades vs. third-party platforms. Worth a phone call for a multi-night stay.
Innkeeper Knowledge
The single best concierge service in St. Augustine is a B&B innkeeper. Ask for restaurant tips, hidden walks, ghost-tour picks, and the back-streets locals use.
