LOVE NOTE: “we will absolutely be back”

“Cyndi & Staff.

Thank you for everything! All the special details and warm welcoming atmosphere made for a most wonderful weekend. Your house is beautiful and elegant, we will absolutely be back. 🙂

It was a pleasure getting to know you and sharing stories. We loved The Alligator Farm (will be doing the zip-line next time) and the Haunted St. Augustine Ghost Tour, visited/walked all the way up to the light house and more memorable of all was Anastasia State Park…where he popped the question in the perfect spot between the sand dunes. I foresee future anniversaries being celebrated there.

Much much love,

Jen & Matt Rinder.

p.s. – Breakfast was fantastic! Thank you for accommodating our unique diet, truly delicious.”

We’re privileged to carry on the legacy of the previous owner’s vision for the inn and proud to be part of a business community that makes the City of St Augustine an incredibly popular place to live and visit,” says Humphrey, a former executive of The Ritz Carlton, The Four Seasons, and SVP for a major league baseball team owner.
