In a nutshell, the Alexander Homestead is a fantastic B&B with a super location, an unbelievably friendly proprietor and staff plus a great breakfast and charming decor. What a perfect place!
Care for more detail?
My husband and I had never stayed at a B&B before; we always did the big hotels. We thought we’d give it a try after talking about it for a few years. I am so glad we chose Bonnie and the Alexander Homestead for our inaugural visit! What a great place!!
I’m one of those people who research things to death before making a decision (too much time on my hands?). I looked at, actually investigated, every B&B in St. Augustine for three days before making the decision and it really paid off!
The location is perfect. Unlike most of the other B&Bs, it’s off the beaten path but still very close to St. George Street, Flagler and anyplace else you’d care to walk to.
The Alexander Homestead is the most enchanting place. It’s furnished and decorated so precisely to the house’s architecture. Everything was a ’special touch’ right down to the antique mirror and brush on the vanity in our room. We were fortunate to make our reservations far enough ahead and have enough flexibility to choose between any of the rooms. We chose Alexandria. Again, what a great decision. The room was beautiful; even parts that I didn’t expect to care about, i.e the chandeliers. They were one of my favorite parts!! They added such a romantic feel.
Breakfast and the company that came along with it were super fantastic. The food was great and they were so accommodating. I’m a vegetarian and hadn’t even asked for anything special but they went out of their way to provide things I would eat. Bonnie’s homemade granola with the fruit and yogurt was my favorite each morning without a doubt. Great stuff!! Bonnie and her staff joined us for coffee and conversation each morning and the setting truly encouraged conversation between the guests as well.
My absolute favorite part of the stay was sitting out on the front porch with my coffee early each morning before anyone else was up and about. The birds were singing, the squirrels were playing and it was just beautiful. It was so incredibly peaceful!
I don’t think we could have enjoyed ourselves more or been happier with our stay at the Alexander Homestead. It was purely delightful. We recommend it highly, highly, highly!!!
