Guest post by Florida Love Airboat Tours
At Florida Love Airboat Tours, we get to meet travelers from all over who come to Florida looking for something real — not just another tourist attraction, but unforgettable, authentic experiences. That’s why we’re always happy to share our favorite local spots — and if you’re heading to St. Augustine, there’s one stay we always recommend: Casa Saragossa.
Whether you’re coming for the history, the romance, or just a peaceful weekend away, Casa Saragossa is a stay that truly reflects the vintage charm of Florida’s oldest city.
🌿 A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home
Casa Saragossa isn’t a hotel, and it’s far more personal than a typical rental. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by old-world architecture, vintage accents, and a warm, quiet atmosphere that instantly slows you down — in the best way.
The space is ideal for couples or solo travelers, with thoughtful touches like a private entrance, a cozy bed, and even a whirlpool tub. It’s the kind of place where you brew coffee just to enjoy it on the patio, where the morning sun comes in soft and golden, and where everything around you feels rooted in history.
📍 A Central Stay in the Heart of St. Augustine
One of the best things about Casa Saragossa is its location. You’re just steps from St. George Street, putting you within walking distance of the city’s best restaurants, live music, art galleries, and landmarks.
- Explore the Castillo de San Marcos in just a 10-minute walk
- Enjoy a night out without needing to drive
- Pop into a museum or take a ghost tour — then come home to quiet
It’s that rare combo of right in the middle of everything, yet totally peaceful.
💬 A Recommendation from Real Locals
Just like we curate our airboat tours to show off the real beauty of Florida’s waterways, Casa Saragossa offers a real taste of Old Florida on land. It’s thoughtful, laid-back, and full of local personality — which is what we love most.
We believe where you stay should be part of the experience, not just a place to sleep. And this little gem of a guesthouse is exactly that: an experience worth making part of your trip.
🧳 Traveler Tips
- Book early — especially for weekends and events
- Wear walking shoes — St. Augustine’s charm is best explored on foot
- Don’t miss sunrise or sunset strolls along the waterfront
- Ask your host for hidden local spots — they know the good ones
💖 The Bottom Line
If you’re looking for something authentic, quiet, and perfectly located, Casa Saragossa is worth the trip. It pairs beautifully with the kind of adventure and relaxation that makes Florida unforgettable — just like we aim to offer every day out on the water.
