Excellent, friendly, quiet area with historical sights, dining options, art galleries and shops within a block of the property. The busier area of St. George Street was a 5-10 minute easy walk. One of the trolley stops was just a block away. The inn had complimentary tickets to the lighthouse and Lincolnville Museum, both worth a visit. We enjoyed our included daily breakfast, social hour, and deserts. We stayed in the Ambrose Retreat which was a 5 minute walk to the main area of the St Francis Inn and we loved it. Highly recommend!

Staying in a historical building with all the upgrades & amenities superior. Lovely decor with many places to relax both inside and outside: pool area, gazebo, courtyard, parlor, dining room, porches with attentive & friendly staff who were willing to help with questions & reservations. My husband required a special diet which was accommodated without a fuss.

Kristen and dining staff were outstanding. Breakfast, social hour and desert were fabulous! Miss Emily’s room was cozy, clean and the jacuzzi tub was relaxing. The onsite parking was great for leaving your car for the stay and walking to dinner or events. It was nice to know we’d have a parking spot if we did drive somewhere.

Everything was nice and clean.
Everything was nice and clean they did ask us to reuse our towels. They did not replace our face towels. There was no ice anywhere. We had to walk all the way across the street into another building carried upstairs into heavy doors. No amenities of soda or water or chips or any type of biscuit or Danish. The breakfast was worse than a truck stop and I don't even know what truck stop food is so I do not want to insult the truck stop. Absolutely ridiculous. 32 years me and my husband has waited to go to a bed and breakfast. Thank you it saddens me to make these comments. The room was a delight the balconeed comfort safe. They were absolutely no amenities we were on our own 10:30 at night. Maybe 1045 after walking a mile back from the prohibition restaurant on a rickety road. But that's. What we were into so that was good. There was no ice there was no water a soda nothing whatsoever we had to walk back down the stairs across the street we weren't sure. If we were breaking and entering we didn't quite know the rules at 10:45 at night if we're allowed to use the key to go into the. Main house God bless

What a great place for a girls getaway! The layout at the Sailors Rest with 2 BR with individual bathrooms is perfect when one traveler is an early riser and the other is not! The amenities were fabulous - we loved the social hour, fire pit for S’mores and especially the dessert box! The staff could not have been lovelier with their helpful tips and kindness. The St Georges street pedestrian shopping area is a short walk away and you are close to a Hop on Hop off stop.

This property provided a comfortable and convenient way for us and another couple to enjoy a day/night in St Augustine (STA) and see STA's fireworks over Mantanza. The check in at the Inn was easy and the information on getting to the house we stayed in were concise. We took advantage of Social Hour, Dessert and Breakfast and enjoyed them all. They were able to accommodate my wife's food with advance notice. Lots of other amenities we were not able to take advantage of but it was quite extensive with bikes, pool, free/discounted entrances, and garden. This definitely was a pleasant and worthwhile stay.

The bed in our room was a bit high, so it was kinda hard to get into. The mattress was too soft for me. It would be good if they could let people know before choosing a room, which rooms had a firm or soft mattress. I didn't like the hot breakfast option because of their offering for our particular stay/day, but I did enjoy the cereal and the fresh fruit.

We had a great time. The staff was friendly and informative. Great amenities like free parking, breakfast, dessert, social hour, and if you stay at the beach cottage or bungalow they provide you with beach chairs and towels. Whether you stay at there beach locations or the bed and breakfast in the historic downtown you will love it. Were trying to figure out our next trip.

Warm. Friendly. Inviting. Historic. Even surreal and transcendent. There's an overwhelming sense of historic immersion whilst visiting the beautiful city of St Augustine and as you walk along the cobblestone-laiden narrow street approaching the St Francis Inn, being invitingly hugged by the shade provided by ancient trees adorned with Spanish moss, reaching down to greet you, you already know you're in for a treat. We were treated very well, not just by staff, but by patrons as well. Being my first experience staying at a historic bed and breakfast, there was a lovely sense of community and sharing, whether it was a beer or a touching story, you're there, together. The experience surpassed my expectations. Constant states of wonder, adventure, and romance leave you wanting more. I could ramble on about our room, the slew of amenities, the food, the bedsheets, but I won't. For me, it was the opportunity for a deep, connective reset. To almost have the lines between what once was and what now is, blurred. The St Francis Inn provides far more than a place to sleep and a free cookie. It provides an experience that, if you allow it to, enriches your very soul.

Lovely stay in a historic inn. Beautiful property within walking distance to most attractions. The staff was excellent. We enjoyed having our breakfast in the courtyard, in the evening you could also gather for s’mores at the fire pit. Or just an adult beverage.
