Alexander Homestead
Bed and Breakfast

Alexander Homestead Bed and Breakfast, located on a quiet St. Augustine, Florida residential street lined with oak, maple, and magnolia trees, pays tribute to America's Golden Age -- the Victorian years, an era of contrast and contradictions.

Host Bonnie Alexander has a flair for decorating and homemaking that is evident in her combination of family heirlooms and treasured collection of St. Augustine antique furnishings. Her home has its own secret life that beautifully combines the passionate and the proper, the sensual and the sentimental. It is her attention to detail that has earned Alexander Homestead a Three Diamond rating from AAA, making this an ideal alternative to impersonal hotel lodging.

The Homestead offers five perfectly appointed bedrooms that hint of lavender sachets and pale hues of vintage opulence. The colors and patterns are of serene tones, pale as opposed to rich, creating an effect much like that of a rain-washed spring garden transplanted indoors. Each accommodation has a private bath, while two rooms boast wood-burning fireplaces and oversized whirlpool tubs. Furnishings include canopied and four-poster beds, marble-topped dressers, and lace curtains.

In the morning, an early morning coffee service awaits outside the bedroom doors at 8:15 a.m. At 9:00 a.m., delight in a homemade breakfast served in the formal dining room. Your sumptuous breakfast might include Country French apple casserole, strata, French toast, and homemade muffins and granola. Freshly squeezed orange juice and tree-ripened fruit are always part of your morning fare. After-dinner cordials are also included in your stay.

Alexander Homestead has earned its reputation as St. Augustine's most romantic Bed and Breakfast with several special occasion packages.

Flower bouquets, Champagne and strawberries, romantic dinners, picnic lunches, and narrated sightseeing train tours are just a few of the amenities available. Wedding packages and "Pampered Lady" Spa packages are also popular.

If you want to explore the historical attractions of St. Augustine, the oldest permanent European settlement in North America, you won't have far to go. Alexander Homestead is just steps away from the downtown Historic District, enabling you to walk to most of the sights and restaurants. Beaches, water sports, deep sea fishing, golf, and tennis are nearby as well.
