This is a very cute inn. The location is perfect if you’re wanting to walk around historic district. The owner assisted us in getting our luggage from and to the car, and were very accommodating. The offered free bottled water and complimentary wine. They were not serving breakfast when we stayed however it was mentioned at time of booking. The room was clean & quaint, however the bathtub needs some work, toilet was very low Just a fair warning all rooms are upstairs and no elevator. I can’t say enough about the hospitality which is very important. The room we stayed in the bed was extremely high and for me was very difficult to get into.

The room cleanliness could be improved. Very disappointed in the fact it was probable the only place in the Historic District that did not decorate for the Holidays. For $700 for 2 nights I expected more.
Really close to St George street and all the shopping, which was great. Room was nice enough, but no garbage except a little one in the bathroom, Wi-Fi wasn’t very good and not very many plugs in the room. Communication with contact at property wasn’t always clear. In addition, how does a Bed and Breakfast not have breakfast?

No breakfast at the Bed and Breakfast. No one available on site for any questions or emergencies. No Christmas ambiance. Dead plants by front door. Bugs in sugar by coffee station.

It was ok…
The stay was ok. The best part of the place was location. The house is old and the furniture appears to be from that era. It was almost like self service when checking out. I didn’t have a bad experience but the breakfast that they offer on the website was not being served so that was not very good.
The Southern Wind Inn was a fantastic place to stay, very convenient to the old St. Augustine area. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to go to. If you don't mind walking a little further, there is a convenience store about a mile away, also a nice walk. My only request for them is to improve the door sealing around the doors - it is an older building so getting some weather stripping on the doors will help with keeping the outside noises and weather out.
We would consider returning next time we spend time in St. Augustine - it was so convenient to everything we wanted to do.
The breakfast included was made to order, and the staff on site was very friendly.
We arrived and the place was locked tight. We could not get in after trying several phone numbers. We had to find a B&B that had space for us, for the weekend. We stayed at one B&B for one night and then move to another one for the other two. We told two other couples who showed up about the problem. The people who own this B&B are horrible human beings.
Property is not upkept, beds are uncomfortable, can't control the AC for the rooms so it was too hot to sleep, no cold water in the shower. Not worth the price.

Meh…
This was a very old home in a very old town. The bed was somewhat comfortable. The ceiling fan had one setting so if you sleep hot then you’re up the creek! The entire house was on one AC setting. The room had no extra outlets for charging “new phones” and no mini-fridge for drinks (especially for those who are diabetic and need sodas/juice in the middle of the night). The tub was a bit taller than most tubs which made it a challenge to get in/out of. There was also a lot of street lights that came in from the windows even with the blinds closed….curtains would be ideal for the front bedrooms. Parking area in the back is okay….just needs attention! Trash could be picked up and the landscaping taken care of. Just some suggestions for the amount of money we paid for 2 nights. We paid fifty dollars for one night at a hotel which was 1000 times nicer.

There was no One there to greet us. The parking area and back entrance were so dirty. It was uncomfortable going up the stairs. There is no breakfast, or access code given to get ice or make coffee. I reached out to the individuals in charge and no one ever replied to me. for the price we paid was disbelief. Hours after we left, someone called to ask if we had checked out and didn’t even know what room we were in.

Room switch
This bed and breakfast is managed by a company that also manages other bed and breakfasts in the area. You cannot call and directly talk to someone on site and that should have been my first warning bell.
Overall the building isnt dirty but its also not maintained. The porch on the back is falling into disaray and badly in need of some work. Weeds grew uncontrolled in the gardens and in general just a good sweeping could have made a major change to the outside of the property.
Once inside we were shown to our room- which was not the room that was booked. We booked the honeymoon suite and this was even confirmed two weeks before our visit. Instead we stayed in the porcelain room. When I inquired with the woman who checked us in she let it slip that the woman who was staying in the honeymoon room extended her stay but that I would have to called management. When I called I was told there was an issue with the honeymoon suite and they had to change my room. When I asked to make sure that I wasnt paying more for this room, which had less ammenties they lied and told me the porclein room was more per night. When I questioned this further they said the issue with the honeymoon suite was the jetted tub and said they could ask about getting me a small refund for my inconvenience.
The rooms are listed as the exact same cost on the website and the room availability confirmed that the honeymoon suite would have been available the next night.
The place needs some tlc. The car park is dirty, tree branches strewn around, dead tree looks like it could fall on the cars parked there. Entryway coukd be wider if they took out some stones that are just piled up.
Broken/bent carpet strips by doors, it needs some work but staff were nice, breakfast could do with some imagination and small portions

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! Staff was friendly and the Bed n Breakfast was clean and comfy. Location was PERFECT!! A few minutes walking to shopping and waterfront. I will most definitely staff here again next time I’m in St. Augustine.

Very convenient and walkable to downtown, and the beach is a short 10 minute drive over the bridge. The bed and pillows were very comfortable; the room was extremely bright and could have have used light blocking shades. The room also needed more places to put your items such as night stands and more small tables. Also full size towels would have been a nice touch. Overall very clean and the staff was excellent and communicated very well prior to arrival. Parking is included, however there is a $45 cleaning fee even though we did not have the room cleaned for the 3 nights we stayed.

Good location
Southern Wind Inn Bed and Breakfast was very clean and very close to all the attractions at St. Augustine. What was a bit disappointing was the interior could use a bit of love including the bathrooms where signs of wear were obvious. Also we were disappointed in the narrow and torn up drive way which needs much repair. Finally, I was very disappointed in the breakfast which was nothing more than a continental breakfast with cooked eggs. Not what I’ve experienced in other Bed and Breakfasts throughout the country.
The property is poorly maintained, our room smelled of urine. I informed the staff each day of our visit with no relief, we had a byfold door on our bathroom that didnt work. no stoper in the tub, remote only worked on the cable box, flooring so soft in places we had to be very careful, door knob to the front deck kept falling off. Honestly we had already been on the road for 5 days and were just to tierd to go elsewhere. We were so very disappointed.
