The Palm Beach Post
"St. Augustine is more fun if you stay at Alexander"

"I wanted to explore St. Augustine's historical sites. But when we arrived at the Victorian style bed and breakfast, I realized I would have been content simply to while away the weekend in its sentimental furnishings."

" . . . since the Alexander Homestead is only about three blocks away from the Historic District (St. Augustine is the oldest permanent European settlement in North America), we were able to walk to most of the sights and restaurants."

Florida Living Magazine

"Each bedchamber is decorated with antiques and has its own porch and personality."

"Alexander Homestead is also bursting with warm feelings and good cheer. Bonnie makes those who stay with her feel as though they've discovered their favorite aunt in a city high on romance and old-fashioned values."

"The little touches at Alexander Homestead are what make it memorable - coffee delivered to your door at 8:15 am, the refrigerator stocked with beer, wine and soft drinks, fresh flowers on the mantels, bedside brandy and amaretto, and Bonnie's personal pampering."

"Victorian homes are romantic in themselves, . . . atmosphere you want for a wedding."


"On May 31, Bonnie officiated at the wedding Robert and Kathy. The bride made her grand entrance after coming down the staircase in the hallway. The candlelight wedding took place in the parlor where two glass angels held candles set on a small table in front of the fireplace. Lace curtains, angel motifs, soft lights from crystal chandeliers all make for a perfect setting as do romantic themes on wall tapestries. There are also beautiful pastoral pictures of outdoor landscapes throughout the house. A book of poems by Emily Dickinson lays on a table in the parlor. . . . doll dressed as a bride stands on a chair in the dining room. These are just some of the charming details you will experience at the Alexander Homestead."

" . . .circa 1888 home is located on a quiet residential street. It is also just a short walk to the downtown historic district where the quaint shops and art galleries are located."

"The Romance of Travel"

" With all the bed and breakfast inns, St. Augustine is a real couple's town. My husband, Cliff and I stroll down the quiet brick streets, poking around in antique shops and admiring the Spanish and Victorian architecture. Our favorite B & B is Alexander Homestead in the historic district. This is a Victorian home with lots of lace and comfort."

First Coast Entertainer

" . . . Inside, on an elegantly decorated dining room table, a buffet of tiny quiches and red and green pepper jellies with cream cheese on crackers . . . decorated evergreen tree - symbol of Christmas - . . . red poinsettias . . . tree topped with a tall angel . . . truly astounded by the wonderment of the large house ablaze with tiny white lights."

"Visit St. Augustine during Senior Sweetheart Month in June."

"It would be heavenly to be pampered for a weekend. To have breakfast in bed would be relaxing and to loll in the jacuzzi with my husband would be fantastic, . . . Alexandria suite has a fireplace, a beautiful walnut French bed and jacuzzi in the shape of a figure eight. This room is the perfect place to snuggle up with the special someone. . . the oldest honeymooners I had were in their 80's."
