My husband and I had a wonderful time at The Old Powder House Inn! We wanted a place to stay in the midst of old downtown St. Augustine. Our room, Serenity, was perfect for us. We loved having access to the veranda and enjoyed our happy hour soaking up the ambiance in the heart of town; watching the people come and go at a nearby restaurant and watching the people in their horse drawn carriages. Breakfast was fantasic, the best breakfast I have ever had! Their homemade cereal was delicious along with the french toast, muffins & Mimosa's!! One of the best parts of our stay was that we were able to park our car and walk every where we wanted to go. We did not get in the car once during our entire stay at the Inn. My husband said it was the best Birthday weekend he has ever had!!
Old Powder House was very nice

I would definitely recommend the Old Powder House to anyone looking for a B&B in St. Augustine. Katy and Kal (the Innkeepers) were very warm and friendly. They did everything possible to make sure our stay was enjoyable and memorable. The only negative was that although the Grace Darling room where we stayed was very nice, it was smaller and less luxurious than I expected. We paid what I consider a premium price for the was is (presumably) the best room in the inn, but it did not seem "premium". Perhaps the other rooms were a better value.
A Relaxing & Pleasant Experience!

Wanted to get away for a relaxing weekend in St. Augustine, with no real agenda. Without the kids, decided to try a bed & breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were relaxed & pleased with the quaintness of the room & the exceptional customer service & attention to our needs. Loved the ability to park on Friday in the back and not touch the car till Sunday. We were able to walk everywhere! Thanks for a memorable visit, we will be back! (Couple aged 25-35, Orlando, FL)
Great Stay.
