Bayfront Marin House – A Favorite for Families in St. Augustine
About the Hotel
Historic Bayfront Accommodations
Bayfront Marin House offers rooms and suites with private entrances, balconies overlooking Matanzas Bay, and fireplaces. Accommodations include flat-screen TVs with streaming services, seating areas, and kitchens with stovetops and dishwashers. Some feature double jetted tubs, rainfall showers with body jets, and heated pools. The property traces its history to 1788 when Francisco Marin acquired the lot on the west bank of the Matanzas River.
Complimentary Dining Options
Guests receive gourmet breakfast daily and afternoon happy hour from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. featuring homemade appetizers, desserts, and choice of wine, beer, or trademark sangrias. Dining options include the patio, second-floor deck, or gazebo seating. Special occasion packages can include chilled champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a dozen roses.
Recreation and Activities
The hotel provides access to cruiser bikes for exploring downtown. Activities include ghost walks through town, tours of local distilleries or wineries, private boat tours, biplane tours over the city, and ziplining over the Alligator Farm. During St. Augustine's Nights of Lights, millions of white lights illuminate the historic district.
