Alexander Homestead Bed and Breakfast,
located on a quiet St. Augustine, Florida residential street
lined with oak, maple, and magnolia trees, pays tribute to
America's Golden Age -- the Victorian years, an era of
contrast and contradictions. 
Host Bonnie Alexander has a flair for
decorating and homemaking that is evident in her combination
of family heirlooms and treasured collection of St. Augustine
antique furnishings. Her home has its own secret life that
beautifully combines the passionate and the proper, the
sensual and the sentimental.
The Homestead offers five perfectly
appointed bedrooms that hint of lavender sachets and pale hues
of vintage opulence. 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. Each
accommodation has a private bath, while two rooms boast
wood-burning fireplaces and oversized whirlpool tubs.
Furnishings include canopied and four-poster beds,
marble-topped dressers, and lace curtains.
In the morning, an early morning coffee
service awaits outside the bedroom doors at 8:15 a.m. At 9:00
a.m., delight in a homemade breakfast served in the formal
dining room. Your sumptuous breakfast might include Country
French apple casserole, strata, French toast, and homemade
muffins and granola. Freshly squeezed orange juice and
tree-ripened fruit are always part of your morning fare.
After-dinner cordials are also included in your stay.

Alexander Homestead has earned its
reputation as St. Augustine's most romantic Bed and Breakfast
with several special occasion packages.
Flower bouquets, Champagne and
strawberries, romantic dinners, picnic lunches, and narrated
sightseeing train tours are just a few of the amenities
available. Wedding packages and "Pampered Lady" Spa
packages are also popular.
If you want to explore the historical
attractions of St. Augustine, the oldest permanent European
settlement in North America, you won't have far to go.
Alexander Homestead is just steps away from the downtown
Historic District, enabling you to walk to most of the sights
and restaurants. Beaches, water sports, deep sea fishing,
golf, and tennis are nearby as well. |
