The Bayfront Marin House is a beautiful building and you feel well taken care of there. Decadent breakfasts, with Mary right behind them saying hello and explaining what the food is and supplying recipes if you want. The afternoon wine and appetizers is also a luxury to experience. Friendly personnel. Amenities well thought out (beach chairs available, comfy swing, etc.)

My issues include:

It should be mentioned on the website that breakfast and afternoon wine is a short drive away if someone is planning on renting a beach house, so people booking the place know it is not within walking distance.
Directions to the beach house should be carefully explained in a welcome email to all beach house guests. Both cars arriving (from different starting points) were lost in trying to find the place - remember a lot of people are not familiar with St. Augustine.
I was a bit upset as because of the first two reasons we were not able to attend the first afternoon s wine activity even after having planned what I thought was appropriate time (to the Marin House, walking distance both which were wrong assumptions on my part).
I ordered a Birthday package. Cake and choice of champagne was excellent. We had three balloons, two of which said Happy Birthday and one said Happy Anniversary. That latter one was a bit unnerving.
