If you are hoping for a St. Augustine bed and breakfast with a swimming pool, you’ll not find many, but you’re in luck if you stay here! The Kenwood Inn has a magnificent large SALTWATER pool with a huge patio surrounded by a brick privacy wall adjacent to the walled courtyard. Enjoy oversized chaise lounges, dining tables, and seating areas for the ultimate relaxing getaway. Our plush pool towels are always available to our guests. (Our insurance company requires we advise you swimming is at your own risk; there is no life guard on duty. Only registered guests are permitted to use the pool).
If you want a beach experience as well, the Atlantic Ocean is only minutes drive from downtown to the south on Anastasia Island or to the north on Vilano Beach. We have beach towels for your use.
St. Augustine is a wonderful city to explore by bicycle, and The Kenwood Inn has several 26″ adult-size street cruisers, safety helmets, and locks available for complimentary guest use.
High Speed Wireless Internet (WiFi) is available at no cost throughout the inn, balconies, poolside, and courtyard.
Be sure to read our policies page with regard to reservations, cancellations, smoking, children, pets, etc.

It is not often that you will find a bed and breakfast that has a swimming pool, yet alone a saltwater swimming pool; this St Augustine bed and breakfast, however, features a magnificent salt water pool with a huge patio surrounded by a brick privacy wall adjacent to the walled courtyard and a nice combination of sun and shade. The pool area promotes the ultimate poolside experience, with oversized cushioned chaise lounges; dining tables; and seating areas for relaxing. The pool is open 24 hours.
Just through the gate to the back of the house, you’ll find a trickling pond full of fancy Koi. Just a few fun facts about the koi fish — they come in a variety of colors (orange, yellow, white, red, black, blue), not just orange; in Japanese culture, they represent love and friendship; owners who received their koi fish as a gift are believed to enjoy good luck; in Japan, koi fish often are passed down from generation to generation with heirloom status, their normal life span is 25 to 35 years but in exceptional cases have lived to 200 years (so one of our fish could be as old, if not older, than the Inn?).
