Conch House Marina Resort, The, St Augustine

I stayed at the Conch House years ago. Actually long before 2007 as posted,(my date was not an option). True it is not the Hilton but that is obvious when you drive up! Maybe a little too quaint for some but if you enjoy a slow down and a tremendous place to enjoy your evening meal, don't miss out on this little slice of heaven! Last night,( some 30+ years later, I had a frozen drink from my Conch House mug and remembered it so very fondly! I just hope it's still there when I do get the chance to travel that way again!

We saw some bad reviews so we checked the rooms our selves before deciding to stay the night. They were fine so we stayed the night. We had a ball at the tiki bar and the food was great on the deck . This location is the best in the city as well as the most beautiful setting. We will stay again for sure. It is too bad that more satisfied people do not take the time to write a review. I am sure there are way, way more of them than unsatisfied.

We have always loved the Conch House for it's location alone. We never really paid much attention to the service... it always seemed adequate. Our last stay there was a great letdown. We had planned to stay two nights but after the first night discovered that the room was infested with Bed Bugs. We collected some in a glass and brought them to the front desk. At first they tried to ignore us, but we finally persuaded them to refund our money. I got the feeling that they knew the room had the bed bugs when they rented it to us... at $220 a night I might ad. We immediately went to a laundry mat and spent an entire day of our vacation washing our bed bug infested things. Did I mention we have a 6 month old. We assumed we were safe. But today... a week later I found bites on my body and discovered that they have somehow made there way back to our home. Thank you Conch House, we should send you the extermination bill.

My husband and I stayed in room 15 and it was clean and peaceful, out on the dock we had a blast watching all the live bands and the reggae bash was so much fun. We can't wait to return in May.

I loved the location nice areas to walk to, I met my husband there and wouldnt trade my best experience for the world.

Our second visit there.The staff was great!! Our food was great!! Location great!! We stayed in a room across the street and it needed updating to be charging $150.00 per night. The lighting was horrible. I had to open the door to put on makeup. We had to dry our hair outside the bathroom because there was no outlet in there. The furniture was from a consignment shop and we were charged Marriott prices, go figure. Our door barely closed for the door plunger to go into the door facing. The yard needed cutting.Did not feel safe there!!

I have to tell you that my husband and I visit St. Augustine about 4 times a year and every time we stay at the Conch House Marina Resort!! The Conch House is a perfect place to forget about the rest of the world. There is so much to do there that you really never have to leave the property. The rooms are so quaint that you never want to leave them. They have no phones or internet connection so that you can have a real vacation with out being interupted. The restaurant is amazing. The chef's prepare one of a kind creations that are to die for. For drinks you can walk about 50 feet to the middle of the dock and have a fantastic cocktail on the water while listening to live music on the deck. They also offer jet-ski rental, boat rentals, fishing charters and much more. It is the most amazing place to find your self again with out all of the hustle and bustle of the world.

Our recent stay at the Conch House was our second. We found it by accident the first time and by choice the second visit. We stayed in room 1--a ground-level suite that looks out on the pool. The view out our window was a vacation for the eyes and inside, we felt like we were in a 1940's bungalow--tastfully decorated and very clean and comfortable--but not so modernized. It was like turning the clock back to simpler times. We had carry out twice from the restaurant--we loved our room so much we chose to eat there--and the food was absolutely delicious. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

When we visted the Conch, it was the worst service I have ever had. We were sitted very quickly. However, it took someone 15 minutes to come get a drink order, then another 10 minutes to get them. After we ordered our dinner, it took 1 hour to get our dinners. By this time my husband was ready to go. When we asked to see a manager it took 10 minutes to get him to our table. Then he proceeded to argue with my husband that it did not take 1 hour to get our food. The manager did nothing and called my husband a liar. As that enough for you! Do not eat here!!!
