What Our Visitor Have To Say About Us

"Well, it's no surprise that everything here at Carriage Way was great! I'm already excited about October!...aren't you?!! My new favorite is Diane's Cake!! I'm going to try to make it; hope it turns out as good as yours! Everytime I add a piece to my thighs I'll think of Diane and how sweet she was when I stopped by the Carriage Way eight years ago to drop off a gift for Honeymooning friends. Little did we know what we were missing by not staying here at that time. It has been a great 4th of July Holiday! We Love you guys!"

"We had a terrific time here. You were incredibly friendly, gracious and accomodating. Without a doubt the best B & B we've stayed at and we've been doing our 'girls getaway' for 12 years now! We'll both definitely be back. The food was great and plentiful, the room immaculate."

"This weekend could not have been any better...your superior hospitality, friendliness, and warmth in this amazing Victorian have give us exactly what we were hoping to find. This has now become a 'must do many times again' getaway, and we will go to no other bed and breakfast in town than Carriage Way!"

"Our friends stayed here last year and brought us this year. You have a delightful place and your special touches really make a difference. We had a wonderful time!"

"It was only by chance, and after exhaustive research, that we stumbled across Carriage Way's website. Delving further through various and sundry review sites, we decided that based on placement, number of guests per room, and price Carriage Way presented the best value for our dollar. We were wrong. Carriage Way far exceeded our fondest hopes and expectations. To start Larry, Bill and John not only introduced themselves but took the time to learn each of our names. Our room, the St. John Brown, was perfect for our odd party of three. With walls a soothing blue and warm comfy beds, even the insomniacs found it easy to drift off. Every morning we were treated to a positively superb breakfast and the even more delightful company of our hosts. Delicious treats provided thoughout the day could tempt the most diet concious (and often did!). Our hosts exemplified the true spirit of southern hospitality, a rare gem to find here in Florida. They were even so kind as to give us the recipe for one of thier wonderful treats. By far Carriage Way has become our new standard by which we will judge all other B & B's. We cannot properly express our gratitude but to say thank you for everything. We'll be back!"

History Of The Carriage Way Bed & Breakfast

The house is a vernacular structure with Victorian features. It was constructed between 1883 and 1885 by Edward and Rosalie Masters. The rooms are named for former owners and individuals significant to the history of the home. For many years, the home was very prominent in the city of St. Augustine. Then, in the 1940's, the house was converted into apartments. In 1984, the structure was lovingly and extensively restored to its original grandeur, fulfilling a dream of creating Carriage Way.

St. Augustine's closest Bed and Breakfast, Carriage Way is located just steps from old St. George Street, in the middle of the walking district. It is amid unique and charming shops, museums, historic sites and beautiful views. Flagler College (the original Ponce de Leon Resort Hotel), Castillo de San Marcos, many fine restaurants, horse drawn carriage tours and the waterfront are 1 to 4 short blocks away. All sites in the Historic District are only a 5 to 10 minute stroll.

The atmosphere at Carriage Way is leisurely and casual, in keeping with the general attitude and feeling of Old St. Augustine. But, the atmosphere is only the beginning. Breakfast is a family affair. The wonderful scents emitting from the kitchen reflect the scrumptious breakfasts that Larry lovingly prepares. Freshly baked breads, fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee, tea, wonderful jellies and jams, and a delicious entrée await you at breakfast time. Bill strolls over from his home a block away to brew the coffee, check the details and chat with the guests. Breakfast is served from about 8:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. in our beautiful dining room.
