Dip in America 50’S Era! – 1950s Renovated Motel
★ MID-CENTURY RENOVATED MOTEL IN LOVELY ST. AUGUSTINE ★
Right from the 50s, you’ll surely have a one-of-a-kind experience in the Florida Motel’s unit 7!
With one of a kind mermaid sign, a retro look, and Columbia feel like bikes parked out front, you’ll get that nice golden vibe that makes part of the marvelous and vintage feel of the room.
★ YOUR ST. AUGUSTINE DREAM ★
Up for a getaway? Take your favorite people for a just-for-fun drive, stroll, or bike ride to the iconic Historic District, home to Spanish-Colonial architecture and top spots, where you’ll find the city’s best, dining, shopping, and entertainment spots.
After a day of fun activities, get back to your newly renovated room that has everything necessary to rest until your next activity! With a fresh shower with the original retro tile bathroom and a room designed to secure your relaxation, our room sleeps two in a cloud-like queen-size bed.
Your room has an exclusive parking spot and free use of bikes & helmets.
★ LA FLORIDA ★
Ponce de Leon named it “the land of flowers,”, St. Augustine has the vibe of the Old World, but St. Augustine is no doubt part of the New World.
✺ Don’t miss Ponce De Leon’s Fountain of Youth Park
✺ Get shocked at Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
✺ Scream Aaargh at the Pirate & Treasure Museum
✺ Visit the Lightner Museum for some art and history of the area
✺ Get wild at the Wild Reserve and the Alligator Farm
✺ Hungry? Find everything from tacos to buffalo wings to fresh seafood
Want some wine and chocolates? Cost-free tastings are available at City Gate Spirits Distillery and Whetstone Chocolates. St. Augustine has something for everybody!
If you love the beach, stop by Vilano Beach and take a swim in the Atlantic Ocean. A few minutes away by bike or car, enjoy the sunset on a comfy bench. Like our room, St. Augustine and its beaches are pet-friendly, so bring your furry friend with you!
