St Augustine is the Oldest City on the Northeast coast of Florida making it about 456 years old. Knowing this, the city wasn't built with a full sized sedan in mind, so pack your walking shoes because parking in the city is very limited. Your best bet is to park at the Boyce House (the house you are staying in) and walk to downtown, or you may drive downtown, but parking is limited and can be very hard to find especially during peak travel times. Once you are in the Downtown area there are horse drawn carriages and trolley rides available.
The house is an original to St Augustine and has beautiful spacious rooms with multiple porches to enjoy your morning coffee and watch the horse drawn carriages pass by on their way to downtown. The property also has a large fenced in backyard for family fun and games. Recently added driveway for on-site parking up to 6 cars.
