St. Augustine is considered to be one of the oldest cities in the country! It was founded in 1565 by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles of Spain. Even today, most of the ancient Spanish colonial architectural wonders still stand.

St. Augustine is also extremely popular for its preserved beaches. Are you in town and looking for a place to stay? We’ve got you covered!
