Really, most of the St. Augustine B&Bs are quite small and rustic and expensive.

I would suggest contacting a realtor in St. Augustine who specializes in condo rentals on St. Augustine Beach. Most have a 3 day minimum. One very nice condo is called Ocean Villas. It is right on the beach.

Good place to eat in downtown St. Augustine is Barnacle Bills. Try the Datil Dusted Fried Shrimp. It has a little bite to it but delcious. A good, but quirky, restaurant is called Saltwater Cowboys. Lots of locals go there. I like the Fried Frog Legs there.

A Great brewpub is downtown and is the A1A Alehouse. They have an excellent IPA called Porpoise Point. Lots of hops flavor to it.

You will definitely enjoy St. Augustine. If you already have the Golden Age National Park Passport, use it at Castillo San Marcos.
