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.
Historic District Location
Located in St. Augustine's Historic District, the hotel is a short walk to nearly 100 local restaurants, the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument (1 km), Lightner Museum (0.5 km), St. George Street (1 km), and Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine (0.5 km). The 1600s Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the United States, overlooks Matanzas Bay nearby.
Guest Services Included
All stays include free WiFi, reserved downtown parking, and access to cruiser bikes. Each room has an electronic concierge programmed with local information about St. Augustine. Packages available include horse and carriage rides, professional photography sessions, and Florida travel gift certificates. The main inn serves as check-in location for all guests.
“I found this to be a property prized for its prime position near historic landmarks. The daily happy hour and gourmet breakfasts featuring local ingredients strike me as particularly thoughtful touches. Although some past visitors mention issues with specific rooms, I think the overall atmosphere caters well to couples seeking a romantic getaway.”
