First Time Staying at a Bed & Breakfast?
Here's What You Can Expect at Bayfront Westcott House!

Bayfront Westcott House Bed and Breakfast is located in downtown St. Augustine’s historic district, just a hop, skip, and a jump from all the Oldest City’s restaurants, street-side cafes, shopping, galleries, and attractions. At Bayfront Westcott House, our intention is to ensure your St. Augustine stay is amazing. So Dream It, Love It, Book It, Live It. It’s what the doctor (i.e., Dr. Westcott) would prescribe.

Whether this is your first bed and breakfast adventure, or you are a seasoned veteran, this is what you can expect from the Westcott Experience.

Convenient Location Makes for a Great Start!

Pull up right out front (on the bay front), and park temporarily in the loading zone between our white house and the yellow building next door. Leave your bags in the car and come on in. After your welcome and introduction, we will determine your parking scenario and retrieve your luggage from the car and take it to your room.

Professional and Personable Hospitality Staff Also Makes for a Great Start!

Operation “Coordinate Your Every Wish and Spoil You Every Second” begins now! You will be greeted by one of our staff and offered a beverage of your choice (bottled water [room temp or chilled], soda, coffee, tea [traditional teas or our herbal signature tea, hot or iced], wine, or beer). We will share with you all the information you need with regard to your Westcott stay, parking, attractions, tours, exclusive merchant offers, getting around town, and St Augustine in general. We will refer you to the best restaurants and attractions based on our experiences and your interests, and we would be delighted to make reservations for you, right there on the spot or later, after you’ve had time to think about how you wish for your St Augustine getaway to take form. As soon as you are confident with how to move forward with your vacation, we will retrieve your luggage, and escort you to your room.

Of Utmost Importance is Your Leisurely-but-High-End Comfort!

In your room you will find period antiques, a flat-screen television with standard cable, perhaps an electric fireplace, and luxurious bedding. Our bedding is from the Comphy Company sheet line, featuring breathable, hypoallergenic microfiber sheets, comparable to a 600 thread count, with an extra-fine weave that helps protect against allergens. You can even take a fresh set home; we have them on sale at the front desk, so see your innkeeper if interested!

In your private bath (whether shower or jetted tub and shower), you will find the luxurious Ecru “New York” collection of bath products. This line features hair- and skin-friendly ingredients that are so gentle and nourishing, they can often be found in the finest skin care products. That bath experience is complimented by the plush Monarch Green Earth towels, made from super-fine, Extra-Long Staple (ELS) cotton (160% bulkier and more absorbent than traditional combed cotton towels).

WiFi is available throughout the inn, but as in your home, it is stronger in some areas more than others. Always feel free to ask your innkeeper to Google and/or print something for you! Your innkeeper also has a binder full of current restaurant menus, and there are dozens of local attraction rack cards located in the parlor. At this St Augustine B&B, your best reference indeed will be your innkeeper! If we don’t know the answer to your question, we will find that answer, promptly!

Ask and You Shall Receive!

Wondering what to do, where to go, or how to get there; ask, and you shall receive the answer! Need towels or an umbrella for the beach; ask and you shall receive what you need! Need a fresh change of towels because you forgot to remove the “Privacy” sign from your door earlier today; ask and you shall receive! Need a re-print of something we printed for you yesterday; ask and you shall receive! Want an extra set of those fabulous Ecu bath products because you’ve taken three baths already, have none left, and just . . . want … more … but are embarrassed to ask? Don’t be silly; just ask, and you shall receive! Whatever it is, don’t be shy; just ask, and you shall indeed receive!

Surely That Complimentary Breakfast Can’t Be As Good As You Say!

A fair but incorrect assumption – that our breakfast can’t be complimentary AND fabulous! Breakfast is served between 8 and 10, you say when! You can sit anywhere you wish, either in the dining room, on the bayfront veranda, or in the courtyard. For an additional fee, we will deliver the very same divine breakfast to your room. We serve a different signature entrée each morning—a full gourmet presentation, whether it be our famous baked French Toast; Ham, Egg, Onion, and Artichoke Casserole; Five Cheese and Sausage Casserole; Baked Egg and Cheese Flan; Country Scrambled Eggs with Sausage, Peppers, and Onions, Served with Cheesy Grits; Eggs Benedict with our very own Heavenly Hollandaise Sauce; or our Eggs, Bacon, and Asiago Cheese Potato-crusted Quiche. If our entrée of the day does not appeal to you, also available to you will be eggs to your liking, bacon, sausage, English muffins, traditional muffins, croissants, bagels, pastries, wheat toast, white toast, fresh fruit cup, yogurt, dry cereals, orange juice, grapefruit juice, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and milk. During the check-in process, you will be given a breakfast card on which to place your orders for each day (due in to the front desk by 8 pm the night before). Order as much as you like; ask, and you shall receive!

What? There’s More?

Indeed there is! We provide daily stay-over service (unless you display the Privacy sign on the outside of your door) during which we make your bed and replenish your bath with fresh towels. Each day, guests enjoy a complimentary early-evening social hour from 5:30 to 7 pm. Wine, beer, gourmet cheeses, dips, hors d’oeuvres.

Anything Else We Can Do For You?

Attraction tickets? In-room wine service? Take-out food delivery service? A cab to take you to a special event? A room reservation for your return trip back through St. Augustine? Whatever it is, ask, and you shall receive.

Check-Out

Official check-out time is 11 am. Just drop off your key at the front desk. If you added anything to your account during your stay, we will settle up at this point. If you’re not leaving town quite yet, we will store your luggage for the afternoon and you can pick it up on your way out of town!
