St. Augustine , FL Pet Friendly Hotels

When you and your pet are looking to renew your lust for life, sometimes a trip to the fountain of youth is in order. No, you don’t have to visit the day spa or a plastic surgeon. Instead, a stay at a pet-friendly hotel in St. Augustine—like The Cozy Inn —will put you within walking distance of the real Fountain of Youth that so captivated Ponce de León centuries ago. But America’s oldest city has much more for you and Ruth Bader Ginsbark to discover than an elusive stream of metaphysical revitalizing water. Boasting some of America’s best sea shores in Crescent Beach and Vilano Beach, as well as unparalleled history, upscale boutiques, and a vibrant art scene, St. Augustine delivers enchantment behind every grass-capped dune, under every majestic palm, and around every cobblestone corner.
