St. Francis Inn - Vacation Homes

St. Francis Inn Vacation Rentals

The St. Francis Inn, a St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast, also has five vacation rental properties — three in the heart of St. Augustine's Historic Downtown, and two just steps away from St. Augustine Beach.

Guests who opt to stay at one of the downtown St. Francis Inn Vacation Homes receive the same excellent amenities and service as those who stay at the Bed and Breakfast. Those include: the breakfast buffet, with an extended brunch on the weekends; an evening social with dessert; use of the inn bicycles; high-speed WiFi; on-site parking; and access to a nearby health and fitness center.

The three downtown vacation rentals are The Cottage, Sailor's Rest, and Ambrose's Retreat.

The Cottage

The Cottage is 734 square feet in size and can sleep six guests with two on the sleeper sofa. This two-floor cottage has an eat-in kitchen, a living room, and an updated bath with a whirlpool tub on the first floor. Upstairs, there is one queen bedroom and one with twin beds. The upstairs bathroom features a walk-in shower.

The1894 House with Sailor's Rest and Ambrose's Retreat

Sailor's Rest and Ambrose's Retreat are both in the 1894 House, a lovely three-block walk from the main inn. Guests of the vacation retreats are encouraged to walk over to enjoy the breakfasts, pool, and other amenities available at St. Francis. Each of the two units at the 1894 house has parking for one car, and additional parking is available at the St. Francis Inn. There are two private decks for each unit, and a washer and dryer are available. Housekeeping is provided each day.

The first-floor unit, Sailor's Rest also has two bedrooms, two baths, and sleeps six. The large vacation apartment has two queen bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Each bathroom has a walk-in shower.

On the second floor, Ambrose's Retreat sleeps four in two bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has a king-size bed which can be converted to two twin beds, and the other has a queen bed. There are two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen.

Steps from St. Augustine Beach: The Beach Bungalow and The Beach Cottage

Couples seeking a beach hide-away will enjoy The Beach Bungalow, which contains one bedroom with a sitting area, a kitchenette, and a charming private seating area in a tropical garden. The kitchen area has a full-size refrigerator/freezer, 2-burner electric countertop range, and a microwave. In addition to the full bath inside, there's an outdoor shower to use after walks to the beach. The unit also has a washer and dryer.

Families will have fun on the beach when they stay in the Beach Cottage, with one queen bedroom and one with twin beds. In addition to the two bedrooms, this single-story unit has an open plan dining and living area, a fully-equipped kitchen, and seating at a bar or at the dining table. There are two full bathrooms and a whirlpool tub in an alcove off the living room. The Beach Cottage also has a washer and dryer, private parking for two vehicles, an outdoor seating area and an outdoor shower.
