What Guests Are Saying

“My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The Westcott House is the greatest lodging accommodation I have ever had. The staff are all incredibly friendly, genuine, helpful, and kind. Each member of the staff sought not only to meet our needs, they sought to get to know us. The room (Alison’s Loft) was beautiful. The breakfast featured a different entree each day, but each meal was spectacular. The house itself is unique, spotless, and meticulously preserved by its staff. The location provides a wonderful view of the bay, as well as a relatively easy walk to the entire downtown St. Augustine area. If we are fortunate enough to return to this city, there is no choice to stay anywhere other than the Westcott House.” — Robert H., 5 stars

“Had a wonderful stay here! The staff were absolutely incredible. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with kindness and respect. The house had a relaxing and calm atmosphere. The social hour was a great bonus, had multiple options for drinks and snacks! The staff made sure everything was perfect for our anniversary weekend. The room was clean and comfortable. The location is in a perfect area of St. Augustine. The area is quiet and has a perfect view of the water. The house was walking distance to several restaurants and shops. 100% worth the stay.” — Kathryn H., 5 stars

“We spent two nights at the Bayfront Westcott House and had a wonderful stay. The bed and breakfast is beautiful, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable. We stayed at another bed and breakfast in St. Augustine last year, but the Bayfront Westcott House exceeded our expectations in every way. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting St. Augustine.” — Beatrix K., 5 stars
