About Us

 

Welcome to the Alexander Homestead
romantic inn, historic bed and breakfast!

Stroll down memory lane to an era held together, as are all eras, by certain acceptedbed and breakfast in Northern Florida values and beliefs, a certain widespread code of behavior. 

St. Augustine romantic inn, Alexander Homestead Bed & Breakfast, pays tribute to America's Golden Age, the Victorian years.  This era was one of contrasts and contradictions, asking that the passionate and the proper, the sensual and the sentimental exist side by side. 

Entering the Alexander Homestead, a premier St. Augustine bed and breakfast resort, through the picturesque front porch from the old fashioned garden walkway you can hear strains of classical music and spy a small book of Emily Dickinson's poetry in the formal living room that is rich with antiques and romance.  

Mixing family heirlooms with a treasured collection of St. Augustine antique furnishings, Bonnie's flair for decorating and homemaking are evident.  Her St. Augustine bed and breakfast home has its own secret life that beautifully combines the "passionate and the proper, the sensual and the sentimental".  An early morning coffee service awaits at 8:15 am outside the bedroom doors.  By 9:00, breakfast is served in the formal dining room.  "Everything I prepare is first class...eggs from the chicken farm, fruits from the fresh market, my homemade granola and endless entrées, like Country French apple casserole, green chili egg puff over tostados or warm homemade almond syrup drizzled over French toast".  

The homestead has become Bonnie Alexander's sanctuary, where her guests return time and again to unwind from another time and place and slip into the sensual tranquility of the Alexander Homestead, St. Augustine's most romantic bed and breakfast.

This is a perfectly appointed St. Augustine bed and breakfast, with four of the most inviting and romantic bedrooms that hint of lavender sachets and pale hues of vintage opulence.  

Each bedroom has its own irresistible private porch that makes a visit that much more memorable. 

B & B in St. Augustine

Picture a rich parlor, bursting with romantic detail.   Picture walls, covered with a sensual dark color, its gilding lit by a flickering mellow light.

Now, actually step into that parlor to hear the crackling fire, the glasses clinking, people talking. 

romantic getaway in Northern Florida

As you enter the formal dining room you feel the warmth from the visual impact. Silver, china and crystal elegantly displayed on the handsome sideboard reaffirm the richness of a dignified hospitality. 

Awaken each morning to the soul stirring aroma of breakfast as it is lovingly created; Country French apple casserole, strata, French toast, homemade muffins, homemade granola, and always, freshly squeezed orange juice and tree ripened fruit are just a few of the sumptuous breakfasts served in the opulent family dining room.

Alexander Homestead Bed and BreakfastThe Alexander Homestead bed and breakfast in St. Augustine, FL is truly romantic.  Each of the four oversized Victorian bedchambers has a faintly old-fashioned air, hinting of lavender sachets tucked away in every drawer. 

 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. A mix of family heirlooms and eclectic finds make each bedchamber an inviting and romantic retreat.  Each room has its own irresistible private porch that makes your visit that much more memorable.

The Alexander Homestead will make your stay in lovely St. Augustine a most extraordinary one where you can truly feel you have slipped back in time.  Browse through the rooms below.  The room description and enlarged pictures are available by clicking on any of the images.  Call us at 888-292-4147 or email us at  bonnie@alexanderhomestead.com for reservations or to inquire about availability..  We look forward to seeing you soon.


B & B in St. Augustine

Anticipating the oversized whirlpool Jacuzzi for two after a full day of sightseeing you can almost feel the energizing effects of the Herbal bath grains. Perhaps you have Champagne chilling, the chandeliers are dimmed and a soft light emanating from the fireplace. As you drift off to sleep in the beautiful queen size hand carved French bed in the softest sheets imaginable and down pillows you surely feel you have slipped back in time to America’s Golden Age of Grandeur.

The elegance and luxury of the Alexandria encompasses you the moment you step into this bedchamber. The canopied bed, marble topped night stands and magnificent chandelier invite visions of grandeur. As you glance further around the room, you glimpse the bombe chest with a large bouquet of fresh cut flowers—lace curtains flowing in a gentle breeze at the French doors as they open out onto your own very private screened porch with rockers and loveseat—the antiqued fireplace ready to be lit by the soft glow of a wood fire or, in the summer, candles.

Whatever your agenda is in St. Augustine, the Alexandria bedchamber makes it all worthwhile as you truly feel like Royalty

Victoriana - a large and fashionable sanctuary - a symbol of power and plenty.  

You may choose Victoriana, which has an impressive bedstead with a built-up, crested headboard of a type particularly favored by wealthy tycoons who felt it invested their private chambers with a suitable grandeur. As the bathing facilities were important in that era, experience the opulence of a grand oval tub, lit only by candlelight, with you (and perhaps your loved one) encased in soft, creamy bubbles. Or, if you prefer to wash while standing up, a separate shower will add to your comfort.

Queen Anne - tastefully decorated with hints of romance and seductiveness.   

Perhaps, the Queen Anne bedchamber is more your style. With its lacy bedspread so lovingly hand crocheted and moiré swags to frame the high four poster bed set amid the rose garden rug you truly experience the grandeur and intimacy of a regal era. 

 

After refreshing yourself in the large claw foot tub (with shower added for your comfort), enjoy the final sunset moments in large old fashioned rockers or snuggle together in the wicker swing on your private porch. Jacksonville area lodging
