Location and Parking


Our Location

We are in the ideal location for a walking discovering the city's over 100 wonderful restaurants, countless shops, and 136 attractions. The Hemingway House Bed and Breakfast is one historic house away from the Matanzas river bayfront. To top that off, we are only 1050 feet from the historic fort Castillo de San Marcos and just 600 feet from the Bridge of Lions.

- No Car Needed - 

If you are flying into Jacksonville (50 miles north of our establishment), Daytona (50 miles south) or, St. Augustine/St. Johns County Airport (SGJ) (10 minutes driving), we suggest using an airport shuttle service. (Airport Shuttle St Augustine, Inc. 904-825-0004 OR Airport Express of St Augustine 904-824-9400). We suggest a shuttle because we are in a "park-in and forget-it" location - you will not need a car (except to get to beaches). Rental cars are available at all of the previously mentioned airports.
