- MICHELLEJun 7, 2024Great location
We loved that is was super dog and people friendly. Room was clean. Love that there was a special place just for our fur baby. Spectacular staff and accommodations. Will definitely be staying there again.
- SarahApr 21, 2024Fantastic stay
Super friendly for dogs, nice fenced in space to run around. Rooms are clean and seem recently renovated. Would recommend and stay here again. They offer a free shuttle to/from downtown and dogs can ride it with you!
- JohnApr 3, 2024Love the pups!
Best pet friendly hotel we have ever stayed. Cookies at the counter, dog bowls and bed provided in room. Good sized play area outside too. Quiet area so you can go for a walk with the dog if so inclined.
- RobertMar 27, 2024Ellie enjoyed her stay
Nice dog park, and an added bonus was dogs allowed on bus downtown.
- StellaFeb 15, 2024Nice on leash walking area
Such a comfortable place to stay with our 2 pups. We got a paper of dog-friendly restaurants and attractions when we checked in. They also had a really nice area to walk your dogs around on leash.
- CarolFeb 12, 2024It was ok
Great fenced dog yard. Very clean rooms.
- LindsayFeb 3, 2024Very dog friendly
Great space for dogs.
- BradleyJan 23, 2024Fantastic Customer Service
Great welcome, clean room, wonderful dog park.
- AlisonJan 7, 2024Excellent stay!
The staff was awesome. The room was clean and comfortable. My pup loved the grounds. Especially the dog park, which was quite large and well maintained.
- CynthiaDec 12, 2023Great location and value
Loved the doggie park. They provided bed for the fur babies. No doggie bowls, but we always travel with one.
- VincentNov 18, 2023Great stay
Clean, quiet and very friendly.
- KarenNov 6, 2023Awesome
Appreciated the remodeled room and accommodations for pets. This was our second stay there.
- SelinaOct 27, 2023Amazing dog park!
Southern Oaks Inn was the best place to stay with our dogs. They had dog beds and collapsible dog bowls in the room, and all of the dog rooms are on the backside that are across the parking lot from the most amazing dog park and walking area I've ever seen at a hotel hands down. The price is right. The rooms are normal and clean and they have a free shuttle to downtown St Augustine. Highly, highly, highly recommend.
- SelinaOct 17, 2023Best dog park ever
And all around great place to stay. They have dog beds and water bowls in the room. The dog rooms are at the back of the hotel right across from the amazing dog park and another big yard to walk your dogs.
- KathiAug 22, 2023Has its own dog park on the property
This place in St Augustine was great. The lady at the desk had a list of dog friendly restaurants and events in town ready for me when I checked in. The room was clean and quiet. The dog park was across the parking lot from my room door. The park is large and nicely kept up. We had a great stay.
- KarlaAug 2, 2023Wonderful stay!
Great hotel. Very clean and comfortable. Employees were all very helpful, especially Dierdre! Shuttle is great and so handy. Grounds are beautiful. Breakfast was awesome!! We will definitely recommend and stay every time we visit St. Augustine! Thank you!
- MichaelJun 21, 2023Great place to stay
The room (king) was very CLEAN and spacious No pet odors from previous visitors. A dog park which is part of the Inn was large and secure. They also provide a dog bed and bowls if needed. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of towels are provided. Highly recommend Southern Oaks as a place to stay with or without your pet. Thanks to BringFido for another great experience!
- BarbJun 15, 2023Awesome stay
Stayed here with 1 pup. They have an enclosed dog park, big walking areas so your pup can have both of best worlds. Also provide large dog bed and the silicone water/food bowls to take while out and about (not for you to take home). Pool area and homemade breakfasts available. Will definitely stay here next time we visit.
- FabiolaMay 24, 2023Bella approves 100%
Very accommodating and close to everything! Dog friendly as heck! They even provide you with a dog bed, bowls, and towels for your pup. And they have a list of dog-friendly places to visit in the area. We 100% recommend and so does Bella!
- TerriMay 11, 2023Beautiful grounds
We stay here a couple of times a year, just for a little getaway. They have a large dog park, where your babies can run off leash, and the property around the dog park is beautiful with large trees and green grass. The rooms are 'hard' floor, which is a plus with a dog in case there are accidents. When you check in, they give you a list of pet friendly restaurants and activities. I love this hotel and never think twice about booking a room.
- NicoleApr 4, 2023Great hotel!
I found this hotel on this app and was the best thing that happened. Pet-friendliest hotel you can find. They provided a bed and water bowls for our husky. The room was right next to the doggie park, which was bigger than expected, clean and with poop bag stations. Breakfast was delicious with different options each day. The room was clean and quiet. Totally recommended!!!
- TrishApr 1, 2023Great dog park
Received a nice welcome.
- LeslieMar 26, 2023Comfortable, Clean, & Cozy
We really enjoyed our stay at Southern Oaks! The room was very clean and we really appreciated the nice dog park. Very dog friendly. The shuttle was so convenient and excellent service going back and forth to the downtown area. We would definitely recommend this place and we would stay here again.
- MeganMar 15, 2023Great stay!
The rooms are a bit small, but clean. Everyone was super friendly and loved my dogs. They have a fenced in dog park type area for them to potty and play. They also have a shuttle service that you can bring your dog on that goes straight to the historic district. Will definitely stay here again!
- LindaMar 11, 2023Good dog park
Plenty of grass and even a small dog park for our dog. Nice place, but didn’t like the dog kennel policy.
- CherylMar 6, 2023Great stay
The front desk was kind, helpful, efficient and courteous. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Soft clean dog bed in the room along with food/water bowls. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of room for outside time with your pet.
- SuellenFeb 28, 2023Wonderful place to bring your dog!
This was our dog’s first hotel stay because we usually camp. He LOVED the dog run and made lots of friends.
- ELIZABETHFeb 19, 2023Wonderful
Wonderful experience, great people, very pet friendly. Has shuttle that goes to the historic district of St Augustine.
- BarbFeb 5, 2023Great for the dog
Loved the fenced-in area for the dog to run.
- GwenJan 14, 2023Fabulous stay
The rooms are immaculate!! Lovely dog park right across from us. Quiet rooms, you don’t hear every noise from neighbors. Friendly staff, great location from downtown. This will be our go to place in St. Augustine.
- RickyJan 8, 2023Great place to stay
Clean rooms, friendly awesome staff and my boy lived it there. Nice dog park. Incredibly dog friendly, we highly recommend!
- CharlotteJan 4, 2023Great location
Clean.
- SteveJan 3, 2023Nice place
It was nice having the dog park for the dogs to get a little exercise.
- AnnaNov 19, 2022Amazing dog area
Super friendly, fab breakfast!! And an awesome area to let your dog run and play. Plus, free bus into town Thanks all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
- SusanNov 15, 2022Great Location
This hotel is near St. Augustine center. There are a few good comments here and a few negative ones. That said, let me begin with the positive. Besides the location (you got that in the title), there is a dog park; although the description of agility course is a bit over rated. There is a round tube to travel though and a ramp up and down, but it allows you to let your car-tired pup romp a bit off leash. The hotel staff is very nice and there are dog cookies and sometimes human cookies in the lobby. There is also a sort of bar that serves Margaritas but not sure how extensive it is. There is a breakfast that includes eggs, bacon, yogurt etc. There are small water and dog bowls (yes that is a plus).
Now to the cons. The bed was way too soft. There is a dog bed in the room but my dog would not go near it and doubt it had been washed. Now onto the really frustrating part. I paid what I thought was the entire fee but got to the hotel and found that they changed a hotel service fee per day ($25 plus a tax and some other fee). We stayed two days and I have no idea what that fee covered since they did not change any linens. We also got locked out and needed to get our key reconfigured. There is a $25 dog fee daily, which then has an additional service charge and tax on that fee. Yes, Beau was taxed. If you think, "Hey that's just a little," try $111. So before you book at this hotel, either book directly or do a better job of reading fine print before you book.
- CatherineOct 28, 2022Loved our stay!
This place is everything you need when traveling with your pooch. They have an amazing dog run, are located in a great part of town and the place was very clean and dog friendly. Especially loved that they provided a dog bed and bowls.
- KenOct 17, 2022Great place for people and pups
Awesome! Great place for our fur babies.. will be back soon -:)
- ReneeOct 5, 2022St Augie
Super cute property that is by far the most dog-friendly place I’ve been to! Staff is great and the place was clean and kept up nicely.
- LanaSep 25, 2022Great stop for us!
The motel has been updated and geared toward pet parents. Clean and fresh rooms with dog beds and bowls waiting for Fido. The dog park is great with a tree house walk around, agility tube and bridge and plenty of room to romp. Plus they have a margarita bar for mom and dad to enjoy after a ling drive in the lobby!
- BridgetteSep 23, 2022Do not stay here!!!
My initial review was good based on amenities until it came time to check out and they overcharged me with refusal to refund their mess up. Over $800 in “accidental” charges on my account, double charged me for my stay, and I spent days trying to get it straightened out and they still overcharged me when it was all said and done.
- EmilySep 5, 2022Great for a dog
This place was great, they had a really big dog park, bowls for the dogs in the room, very dog friendly. The only reason to give it four bones is that you do have to drive to the Historic Saint Augustine part but it’s like 1 or 2 miles away. In theory you could walk.
- ManteSep 5, 2022Best Inn
Spend entire weekend with 2 dogs and it was the best Inn we’ve ever stayed. With really good breakfast and a shuttle to the city!
- CharleneSep 5, 2022Great after a long car ride
We booked this place last minute after traveling for hours on I-95 with our two 55 lb fur babies. We all loved it! The adult humans were able to grab a couple of adult beverages and the dogs were able to run and let loose of their energy in the nice large dog yard. The yard is fenced with great grass and large tree for shade. The room came equipped with a large dog bed and two collapsible bowls for food & water. A full hot breakfast bar was included with our stay. The chocolate chip pancakes were yummy. Another nice touch is that the drink machines are stocked with Lacroix water. The evening front desk staff were extremely nice at check-in and remember us in the morning. The restaurant staff were friendly as well. We will be back on next road trip to Florida!
- GerryAug 31, 2022Wonderful spot for my lab
I’ve been traveling for days. This is the most dog friendly stay yet. The fenced-in area was a plus. Sadie loved the yards. The room had tile floors, which I appreciated.
- ValerieAug 25, 2022Great place
Friendly, great breakfast, wonderful staff.
- MelindaAug 17, 2022Great place for a night or two with your dog
Only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it said in one review check in time was 2 p but when I got the confirmation via text it said 4 p. I requested 3 p and they did accommodate that though - so be aware there are some other fees as well $25 / day for breakfast (which was good) and use of their free shuttle We were there only over night so we did not use that service or the pool which looked nice - the dog run area was convenient.
- MarcelaAug 12, 2022Great Stay & perfect location
Came for 2 days of vacation with my mother and our fur baby. We arrived at night, reception at Front Desk was courteous and checked in a breeze. The room was clean and in working order. he dog run was perfect to take our dog for a walk. Great location, since we were heading to a nearby beach with our pet. Butler beach is a great beach to take your pet & only 20 minutes away. We enjoyed the breakfast it was plentiful and fresh. We really did enjoy our stay at Southern Oaks Inn.
- GregJun 24, 2022Great Place
This is without a doubt a great place to spend a few days if you are planning on taking your best friend. You can take your wife or husband too if you want. We have a room right across from the dog park that the hotel has. Daisy loved going there multiple times a day and playing ball. There are balls that the hotel provides right in the park and Daisy found them all. Our stay was quiet as well. Room came with soft bed and even food and water bowls. We made reservations to stay there again. Daisy highly recommends it.
- EllenJun 22, 2022All the amenities for the travelling Dog Lover
Updated modest style rooms are comfortable, spotless very quiet with thick concrete walls and in good working order. Large off leash grassy fenced dog play pen. Very attentive staff; helped carry my luggage to 2nd floor NO elevator. Soft dog mattresses & water bowls supplied in each room. AC noisy but effective. Thick mattress and warm bedding. Continual complimentary hotel shuttle takes you to the Old town center. Average breakfast. Large vehicle parking.
- JohnMay 15, 2022Perfect place to stay with your dog
Great location. Dog friendly 5 min shuttle ride to historic district.
- RandyMay 12, 2022Fantastic motel
We had a wonderful stay here! The on premises dog park was a great place to let Daisy run around and socialize with other dogs. Room was nice, clean, and very reasonably priced. Staff was helpful and very nice. Would definitely recommend staying here, we will go back for sure!
- ReginaMay 12, 2022Very dog friendly
Nice quiet room across from dog park. Good breakfast buffet. Didn't realize there was activity fee of $25 until they emailed me just before we arrived.
- WandaMay 5, 2022Wonderful hotel, nice friendly staff!
We have a pug, who immediately claimed the dog bed provided by the hotel!!
- FranMay 1, 2022Great pet friendly local
Besides the on-site dog park, the shuttle to the downtown is a huge perk since parking is limited.
- AnaApr 27, 2022Great for dog people!
Clean!
- KathleenApr 25, 2022Perfect Overnight Stop
Easy reservation process and we were given the choice of ground floor or second floor. Rooms were clean and good sized. A clean dog bed and collapsible bowls were provided - room charged if items are taken home. Dog park is spacious and has a few obstacles. Directly across the street from a CVS and Walgreens. Breakfast was great, with a wide selection. Will definitely book again for next trip.
- PamelaApr 10, 2022Very dog friendly
I was very surprised how nice this hotel was, and how dog friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Our air quit working during our stay and they were very accommodating to move us to another room. The staff was very friendly.
- ReginaMar 28, 20225 Paws!
Very clean & accommodating for our 12 lb beast. Large comfy pet bed (even though he slept with us), great breakfast and spacious dog park. Will return.
- EbenMar 3, 2022Excellent atmosphere for dogs
Very dog friendly. Will stay at hotel on our next visit.
- GregFeb 25, 2022Decent location
Unfortunately a bike race was scheduled the day we checked in. It would have been nice to know before we booked.
- WillardFeb 11, 2022Great place to stay in St. Augustine
We stayed at the Southern Oaks twice already and would certainly do it again if we're in the area. This is a very pet friendly hotel. Great for our golden retriever. It even has its own fenced dog park with lighting. The hotel staff are very friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the complementary breakfast is great. A large dining room with plenty of space between tables. There is strong focus on CDC COVID health and safety requirements at the front desk, rooms, and dining area.
- TrevaFeb 10, 2022Perfect for Pet Parents!
It was been a wonderful experience. They are all so kind. Super pet friendly. There was even a dog bed and dog dishes in the room. The have a huge yard and great dog park area. Breakfast was great. Choices of eggs and pancakes, bacon, potatoes. So much to choose from. The guy serving breakfast had a great personality. Thanks here’s a shuttle to downtown and you can bring the dog. Clean, comfy rooms too. Check in/out process was so easy. The fact we can bring our pets and they're catered to as well is perfect.
- PaulFeb 6, 2022Very dog oriented property!
We really appreciated having a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The comfy dog bed was a nice touch. Plenty of area to walk and exercise man's best friend. The only downside was the people mattress had bad coils and was in need of replacement.
- KathrynJan 26, 2022Very Pet Friendly
Great guest relations!
- BarbJan 14, 2022Marvelous
Great pet park. They provided bowls and pet beds. Great breakfast in the morning.
- IanJan 6, 2022Big disappointment, not worth it
This place was over $260/night but is an old, run down 50's style motel. I've stayed in places for $50/night that were better. Sorry, but we couldn't wait to get out of there.
- SuzanneDec 26, 2021Very dog friendly hotel
We decided to see the Light show in St. Augustine this year on a spur of the moment and were fortunate to be able to get a room at this hotel. The rooms are simple but they have everything you need and lots of towels, microwave, fridge, TV and even a dog bed, water and food bowl. There is a large, fence in dog area with agility toys and a gazebo for owners. Apparently, their pool is the larges in the city but we didn't use it. Staff is very nice and there is a large dining room for a hot, served breakfast, cereals, yogurt, toast, bagels, good coffee and juices. It's not too close to all of the old city action but just far enough away not to be too noisy. There is a free tram to take you to points of interest right around the corner from the hotel. Good choice for anyone, but great for people with dogs!
- DonnaDec 9, 2021Loved Our Stay Here With Our Rudi Roo
We had a wonderful time at the Southern Oaks Inn! This is a great place if you have a dog! They have a very nice fenced in area to take your dog off the leash. They also have a large grassy area to walk your dog!
In our room was a big dog bed as well as a food and water bowl. We had brought our own for our Rudi Roo so we did not need to use the ones in the room.The room was nice and clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable.
And oh my gosh the complimentary breakfast is the absolute best! The food was delicious!
We will definitely go back!
- NicoleNov 30, 2021Very Dog Friendly
This is a great hotel for dogs! They have a large dog park that my dogs enjoyed and a large grassy area for walking. The staff was friendly and helpful on check in and during our stay.
- Nov 14, 2021Such a great stay!!!
So clean and pet welcoming!!! Text message to make sure we were happy and if anything was needed only needed to send a message. Great breakfast, bus service to downtown, and nice dog park.
- AriannaNov 3, 2021Awesome for your furry friends
Check-in was easy. The room was clean (but rooms are on the smaller side.) But the dog park is great! They have a little obstacle course set up, toys and bags for clean-up. Only a shuttle ride away from restaurants and attractions. I really loved how dog friendly St. Augustine was!
- RachelOct 26, 2021Amazing!
Such a great yard for the dogs! The best area to play outside I've ever seen at any hotel. Absolutely delish breakfast! Different every day we stayed. Very impressed.
- RandySep 30, 2021Dog lovers dream
Southern Oaks Inn is a great place to take your dog. Rooms have hard surface floors, they gave a large dog bed and dishes for you to use. They have a large dog park right there. There are benches to sit while your dog runs through hoops. The inn gives you a list of dog friendly restaurants. It's a dog heaven.
- AmyAug 27, 2021Very clean & perfect for pups!
I was really dreading this stay, we booked last minute & I assumed it was going to be an old, run down, & ratty hotel, but it was actually incredibly nice. Everything was very clean, they provided my pup with a bed & bowls, & the dog park was very clean & well taken care of. Breakfast was also superb. I was pleasantly surprised by everything. I would definitely stay again.
- ShawnaAug 20, 2021Dog oriented with a place to play
Dogs are just as much of a guest here as their owners, having their own amenities. There is a fenced relief and play area. The dogs get a their own bed and bowl provided. Treats at check out. As with anywhere in Florida, beware of the bugs in the grass. We came away with bites. There is a great list provided as to things to do and services available to do with your dogs. Breakfast was good. Rooms were clean. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The location was easy. It was the best hotel on our week vacation and will be revisited.
- SuzanJul 22, 2021Great Pet Stay
Love it! Friendly staff, free shuttle to downtown, nice doggie park, tasty breakfast make this a great choice for a pet friendly stay in the Saint Augustine area. My only complaint - the floor in our room could have been cleaner.
- LauraJul 21, 2021Great for pets and kids
With a fenced in dog park, and a pool, Southern Oaks is a good place to take all the family, including pets. The staff bends over backwards to be helpful. However, rooms are basic.
- AshleyJul 19, 2021Many things right
The hotel was wonderful in the fact that it had great amenities for the two and four legged. Great clean puppy park or adjacent field if your dog doesn’t prefer company. Clean dog beds and bowls provided in the room. The shuttle they provide to downtown is also dog friendly! Nice pool and a decent hot breakfast included.
The cons… check in was late. Not just late in general (4pm) but the room wasn’t ready by that time due to being short staffed. The rooms were mostly clean but still remaining dog hair in piles behind the door from previous guests on the floor. Ok no big deal, we all love our pets. But then I had to wipe up water that spilled on the floor, the towel came back up almost black. The floors haven’t been cleaned in quite some time.
If you able to make a room request, ask to be towards the back as the road noise on Ponce de Leon is quite noisy and the motorcycles did wake me up through out the night. I would stay again as the staff is very nice and they do accommodate the dogs very well. But now I know how to make the stay a bit better.
- MaggieJun 24, 2021Great place
We loved this place with or without dogs. Rooms were so clean and staff so helpful and friendly could not have asked for more. But if you have dogs we could not have asked for more. Everything was perfect.
- MarthaJun 15, 2021Welcoming Place
I was very impressed with the overall friendliness and cleanliness of the resort. Pets were indeed welcomed. I would stay here again.
- AyrianMay 28, 2021Wonderful Dog-Friendly Inn
Such a relief. Cute, clean rooms, big open grassy space as well as a big grassy fenced area for our dog to run. definitely would stay again. They had a comfy dog bed and water and food bowls ready in the room and the shuttle to downtown is also dog friendly (we didn’t use the shuttle because we were only staying one night). They even provided a list of dog-friendly restaurants in the area and provided a good hot breakfast. Friendly staff, great dog amenities, and clean, our family really enjoyed the stay.
- NancyMay 23, 2021Made my trip easier
Very nice staff, convenient text message communication system for questions or requests. If I needed anything or had questions I could text the front desk and get an actual reply, no automated replies! 24 hours a day. Designated dog area for pet relief was pretty, well maintained, had well stocked poo bags, hoops, tube and ramp for pups to play. Breakfast was eggs, grits, pancakes and changed slightly every day. Ice and soda machines well stocked and clean. Limited bar in lobby area. Dog bed, bowls for pups, Blow dryer and iron in room. Comfy clean bed and small love seat in room. Dog-friendly restaurant, activities and attractions list given to you at check in.
- AnneMay 23, 2021Very Pet Friendly
Hotel is set up to look after you dogs, reasonable pet fee, dog play park with shade for the humans and agility course if your dogs desire. Staff professional friendly and courteous. A dog-friendly shuttle runs regularly between the hotel and the historic district so you get the best of both worlds.
- GeorgeneMay 12, 2021Good option for pups
Hotel was a little older than in the pictures. Only issue was we asked for a first floor room in advance due to health issues and no elevator. When we arrived we were told it would be the 2nd floor, which would not work. They were able to place us in the ground floor after some conversation. Breakfast was very good. Able to purchase bottled drinks, which was a nice touch after a tough week. Pool was very nice. Would stay again when traveling with our old cranky Jack Russel.
- RobertMay 6, 2021Very pet friendly
Rooms were clean, but a bit dated. Nice fenced in dog park. Shuttle for a sort ride to heart of city. Will stay again.
- DonnaMay 1, 2021“Humans allowed”
I honestly could not be more pleased with our 2 week stay. There is a pet fee
- TracyApr 9, 2021Dog Happy
Great place to stay with dogs. They even had bowls and a bed ready for our dog. Very clean room. Great fenced in area for your dog.
- ElizabethMar 16, 2021Hot Diggdy Dog Tastic
Great place for pups, our to labs LOVED the fenced in dog park and had a great time.
- BrianMar 9, 2021Just wonderful!!
Clean!!They had doggie bowls for the pets, the staff was absolutely outstanding and very helpful. We’ll be back again!!
- DeidreMar 7, 2021Excellent Service and Location
I’m an avid lover of St Augustine. I visit several time a year. We decided to bring our Boykin Spaniel child on this trip. After reading reviews here we booked at Southern Oaks. They exceeded our expectations. The check in process was well organized. They messaged on our way to confirm our stay and text again after check in to make sure our room was suitable. The room was VERY clean and comfortable (much cleaner than some non-pet friendly places that I have stayed. The shuttle service was excellent and pet friendly as well. The exterior of the hotel was charming and they have a fenced dog park which was also nice. There was a dog bed and food and water bowls in our room. Definitely a great choice if your looking for a stay in the greatest old city in the USA.
- DanielleFeb 9, 2021Doggie Ritz
This place is a dog owner dream! Huge, personal, dog park, welcome doggie bowls and even a bed! Great location and if you want to avoid the parking fees, take the free shuttle!Dogs are welcome there too...just don’t forget to tip! One of the pet friendliest places we have ever experienced!
- JoanJan 16, 2021Wonderful place to stay
The room had plenty of space and was clean and comfortable. They provided a hot breakfast which during these COVID times is unusual and it was very good. If you are traveling with your dog this is the place to stay! The room had a dog bed waiting for us as well as dog bowls and two towels for the dog! The towels came in handy after a walk in the rain. There was also a shuttle on demand to take us, dog included, to all the attractions and dinner. We never waited more than ten minutes for this service and parking down in the city is hard to find.
- TerryJan 9, 2021Excited about the dog park!
Hotel is older, all outdoor rooms and vinyl flooring, beds comfortable and everything very clean. Walking in the room there's a dog bed and bowls available for our Maggie. They have a system at check-in that's easy to follow and when all is explained she was excited about the "big dog run and park with obstacle courses and everything." Our little girl is 10lbs, 14, blind and very particular about her 'spot' to go. So there's a big grassy area around the dog park as well. We did not take advantage of the complimentary shuttle at this hotel which would take you into town and pick you up to bring you back (because parking is difficult downtown and can cost $15-$20. if not in a public lot or on meter) and the shuttle was dog friendly. The kids (teens) and I were very happy with the hot breakfast served to us and many full breakfast choices that were complimentary. YES! a hot breakfast buffet (scrambled eggs, ham, potatoes, cheesy grits, chocolate chip pancakes) and fresh fruit and continental style other on the breakfast bar to choose from during the pandemic. Gave the hotel extra value and was so appreciated by all.
- KendraJan 4, 2021Nice hotel
Spacious, clean room complete with dog bed & bowls. Nice fenced in dog park. Convenient location close to town, restaurants.
- RussDec 23, 2020Best Service
stayed at the Southern Oaks Inn Dec 10, 11 and 12/2020. The staff is terrific, the free breakfast is very good and the rooms are clean and well appointed . I'll be staying here again when I'm in St Augustine.
- GregDec 16, 2020Very good visit
Just returned from Southern Oaks Inn for a Monday thru Wed stay. Wasn’t clear from some of the information I’d checked online but they do charge $20 for each night with a dog. We had our golden doodle with us. They placed us in a room close to the enclosed dog yard (nice sized and well maintained). Although we had our own food bowls they had included two bowls as well as a bed in the room. There is a train that runs three times a night so keep that in mind but it wasn’t very noticeable. Nice location with courtesy van service for both you and your furry friend into town. Would stay there again.
- BarbaraDec 9, 2020Great Customer Service
Very accommodating, clean and no complaints. Would definitely come back.
- RobinDec 7, 2020A Boxer’s Life
Staff was professional and curious. when I checked in they let me know where the dog park was and that the dog bed was in the room. They provided a list of dog friendly restaurants and activities. If I return to this city I would stay here again! 🐾💙🐾💙🐾
- DonaldDec 4, 2020The best
Great location.
- GinaDec 1, 2020Very convenient and accommodating!
Perfect for our dog. He had plenty of space to exercise after our 8 hr drive! The breakfast was also very good.
- JenniferNov 18, 2020Friendly And Comfortable
we’ve stayed here the last few times we stayed in St Augustine. always enjoy our stay
- ThomasNov 15, 2020Nice people, good location
Easy check in, good breakfast, nice people
- LeslieOct 27, 2020Fantastic!
Highly recommend this hotel for your stay with your dog! The room was spotless our entire stay as was the check-in and dining area. After using the fresh big bed they provided for my corgi, I've pretty much decided I have to go buy one just like it for home. The fenced in dog park has loads of grass, shade, and benches to sit on. Breakfast is provided and is quite tasty. Best cheese grits I've had in a while! We had a microwave and refrigerator in our room to, so that was nice to keep our drinks cold and heat up our leftovers. Thank you Southern Oaks Inn! We will definitely be back.
- JoneOct 11, 2020Great Pet Amenities
Excellent choice for those traveling with their dog. The room was very clean and even had a dog bed big enough for our 115 pound boy. Very large, fenced dog park and plenty of grounds to walk around. We will be back.
- AileenSep 19, 2020Great Stay!
We had a great time at this hotel. Nothing fancy for humans, but the dog amenities are amazing! The dog park was large and well taken care of, the dog bed and bowls in the room were so thoughtful. Location is great close to all the popular attractions and parking & breakfast was included.
- StephenSep 7, 2020Great place
Very good hotel friendly staff and great dog park
- TerriAug 26, 2020Pets are truly welcomed
This hotel offers pet friendly rooms, upon check-in you are given a list of pet friendly restaurants and pet friendly activities, and directions to all the dog parks in the area. The hotel has a gated dog play area. This is a great place to stay if you are bringing your 4 legged children with you. This is our preferred hotel when we are in the St Augustine area.
- DonnaJul 25, 2020Fantastic stay.
Great place to stay with your fur baby. Knowing we were bringing our dog they had a dog bed and bowls waiting in the room and it wasn't some flimsy cheap bed either. It was big and fluffy and where Taffy could be found whenever we were in the room. Then there is the dog park. Again, not just some little patch of grass to walk your dog but a huge grassy fenced in area that they can run in off leash. In the middle of the dog park is a covered pavilion where we relaxed while Taffy investigated the area. As for us humans, they furnish a fantastic full breakfast every morning, not just a simple continental breakfast like many places nowadays. As a bonus, its also within 5 to 10 minutes of all of the attractions. We will definitely be back.
- ShanimahJun 21, 2020Very accommodating to my Fur Baby.
- KimJun 20, 2020The Dog-Friendliest
We have stayed at Southern Oaks 4 times now with our two large dogs. This hotel doesn’t just “allow” pets, they truly cater to them. They have a really nice fenced in dog park, plus a nice large shaded, grassy area for leash walking. Our room had a giant doggie bed and complementary collapsing water bowls waiting for us when we arrived. Other perks include a pretty decent free breakfast (for the human guests only, of course.) The pool is nice, with a partial shade covering, and the hotel itself is conveniently located to both the historic district and the beaches. The only negative thing I would say about the hotel is that the standard rooms are VERY small, to the point it’s difficult to freely move around in them, especially if you’re traveling with a large dog(s.) There really isn’t any room to set up a crate, it’s that cramped. But, if you don’t mind the close quarters and plan to do little more than sleep in your room, Southern Oaks is about as pet friendly as they get at a pretty good bargain, too.
- CatherineJun 12, 2020Great place for pets!
We have 3 dogs and they had a great time. The dog park on the property is really nice! Staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good. Very close to historic/ tourist area. Plenty of parking.
The room was a little small, other than that, it was a perfect stay. - AnnMay 25, 2020Great Value
Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Great value for the money. Good location.
- NicholasMay 25, 2020Great staycation!
Great dog run. And they were very friendly!
- WilliamMar 21, 2020Very pet friendly and excellent value for money
Great property with excellent breakfast and a dog bed,
- RichFeb 29, 2020Guest Review
We chose Southern Oaks by the reviews, and were not let down in the least. Great staff, very comfortable, and great location. We will stay again on our return from Florida.
- WilliamFeb 23, 2020Great Location for Travel with your dogs
- BillyFeb 23, 2020Excellent Stay!
This place was GREAT, we had no complaints and would definitely stay again!
- KatherineFeb 16, 2020Great pet friendly hotel!
Very pet friendly, they provide dogs beds and bowls in all the rooms and have a dog park on site. They do require that dogs are in a crate if they’re going to be left alone in the room.
- TerriJan 27, 2020Our Favorite Place in St. Augustine
Great staff, room is really nice and spacious. This year they added a doggie bed and folding doggie bowls which are fabulous for taking around town with you but you cannot keep them. The fenced in Doggie park is really nice and they are upgrading it. Full (Not just continental) breakfast for the humans! Can't wait until our visit next year!
- LawrenceJan 26, 2020Very Good
The Inn is huge a great deal of space to walk your dog. The dog walk area was closed when we stayed there. The Inn manager was accommodating when we had an issue with the location .of the room The room itself was small but clean.Bathroom was very tight. Breakfast was outstanding So many places use faux eggs.These were real and delicious Best home fries I have had in quite some time.
- DebJan 20, 2020The best dog hotel
In our many travels with our two pups (larger dogs) this hotel ranks as one of the best. Hotel staff friendly. Property well taken care of. Larger room (we were outside the dog area). Dog area fenced so pups could run freely. In addition there is large grass areas. Leave your car parked at hotel (for free) and take shuttle with your pup to downtown St Augustine. No charge and so convenient. It was truly a wonderful stay and I can’t wait to stay here again.
- LeslieJan 8, 2020Location was ideal, close to everything.
Rooms were clean and nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Will stay .there again
- NicoleDec 2, 2019Great Stay For Us And Our Pup!
Friendly staff. Great location. On site off leash dog play area. Complimentary shuttle to downtown that allowed us to ride with our dog.
- WalterNov 17, 2019Great Place
Have stayed here before and very pet friendly, good breakfast and have a free shuttle to downtown and other sites.
- DarrinOct 10, 2019Will go again
First stay here and can say they care about their facility room was clean grounds well maintained and they have a good area for the dogs to play off leash at the front desk they have jars of treats for the fur babies. The people that we interacted with was very friendly. Didn't get to use the pool on this trip but did look at it and it was very inviting. We will be going back again very soon.
- LorettaOct 7, 2019Loved this place!
Awesome place to stay with your pet! They made it very convenient for you to take your dog out to do his thing. The little enclosed area was really nice and just across from the pet friendly rooms. The breakfast was awesome! The fellow serving breakfast was very nice and even remembered us from the day before. Nice selection for breakfast too! The menu even changed the 2 days we stayed there. Highly recommend this place and will definitely stay there again!
- KendallOct 3, 2019Great for dogs
Too much smoking outside of designated smoking areas for non-smoking humans
- GracieSep 24, 2019Nice place
Nice pet area, clean and convenient, if stay there again.
- SallyAug 14, 2019Great staff
I made a mistake with my reservation and the staff were so helpful, they even had a list of dog friendly places we could go. We loved it.
- AshleyJul 3, 2019Perfect
The lobby is beautiful and staff are super friendly. Clean, spacious rooms. We were put right across from the fenced dog area for ease of access. Left our Golden in the room a few times for dips in the large pool and while we took the complimentary shuttle downtown for drinks and some nightlife. Breakfast in the morning was delicious! Would definitely stay again!
- MartaJul 1, 2019Awesome Hotel
I stayed one night with my dog, Luna, We had a wonderful stay. The staff is the friendliest hotel staff I have ever encountered. Every single employee I encountered was attentive and friendly. Great fenced in doggie are with a beautiful oak tree and benches (off leash)and a large grass area to walk around (on leash) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
- DebraMar 16, 2019A true dog friendly hotel
We spent One night in this hotel with our two dogs, a 90 pound Doberman and a 60 pound mixed breed. Checking in was a pleasure especially because they had two big jars of treats for the dogs to enjoy. Front desk staff was friendly and informative. The hotel features a small fenced in play yard which came in handy for exercising the dogs. Breakfast was included and we had an outdoor area to sit at with the dogs while we ate. It worked out well because it was nice weather but I can see how if it was raining this might be a problem especially because the door to the patio was an exit only and you had to walk back around to the lobby to go back into the dining area. Overall I would recommend this as a dog friendly place
- AlexandriaJan 31, 2019Great For Dogs!
We stayed here for about a week. The rooms were always cleaned and the hardwood floor was a plus. We were in a room right across from the big fenced in dog area. Gibbs loved that he could run around each day! It was double gated and had poop bags to clean up. Only thing that was bad was people couldn’t clean up after their dog.
- MarissaJan 19, 2019Loved the fenced in dog patch
It's not the closest to St Augustine's historical district but the hotel is nice. The customer service wasn't the best for me and that's the only reason for not getting 5 bones. The room we stayed in was super pet friendly (or baby proofed). It was like they knew we were coming with a wild pup. He really loved the shower and that it had no lip. He was scared of water at the time and would come sneaking in while you showered and lay at the edge. We both loved the little dog patch for them. Would probably watch small dogs off leash in it though. Us people loved being so close to a store and that's the one plus side to being out of the historical district. All in all it was a great first experience for the pup and for us as well.
- JoyJan 10, 2019Super nice property!
My husband and I and our mini dachshund Rudy were impressed with the cleanliness and service of this beautifully landscaped hotel. It has a nice large dog run and the front office staff gave Rudy biscuits every day. The free shuttle service saved us the hassle and expense of driving on narrow crowded streets. The hot breakfast is served until 10am weekdays and 11am on weekends. We had a wonderful experience!
- JustineJan 3, 2019Beautiful Little Dog Park
This place was beautiful inside and out, the hardwood floors and dog park gave much needed peace of mind! Not to mention seeing all the different pups up early walking around in the morning! Obviously a fan favorite among dog parents !
- AndrewJul 14, 20185+ Bones
There is a big difference between "Pet Friendly" and "Pet Tolerant". Southern Oaks Inn was beyond Pet Friendly! We were greeted with smiles and a list of doggy friendly restaurants, shops, activities, and animal hospitals. Our room was very clean and right next to the dog run/park. Our dogs loved playing in the park and getting a bunch of attention from the workers and other guests. We can't wait to come back!
- TerryMore than a year agofriendly!
We booked this hotel through bringfido and I’m so glad we did. The hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly. On checkin we were given a list of dog friendly restaurants and sights. They also had dog biscuits for our fur babies.
We will come back here again when visiting St. Augustine. - BriannaMore than a year agoGreat stay!
Looks newly renovated! Very nice rooms and great breakfast! There's a dog run that was so perfect for our pups! Highly recommend!
- OlivaMore than a year agoGreat place
Room was nice, fridge and microwave are always welcome. The fenced-in dog park was great. Our Cavalier was so happy to be off lead for the first time in over a week. The breakfast was also very good, We would go there again.
