About
About Casablanca Inn on The Beach Santa Cruz
Historic bayfront inn with antique charm and modern perks.
Casablanca Inn on the Bay sits along Matanzas Bay in St. Augustine, its Mediterranean Revival façade a reminder of Florida’s gilded past. Originally built in 1914 and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the inn is a blend of antique furnishings and contemporary comforts. Each of its 22 accommodations is individually decorated, featuring vintage pieces, updated bathrooms, and in many cases private balconies or porches with views of the water or garden.
Guests wake to breakfast each morning and gather in the evening at the inn’s Tini Martini Bar, a local favorite overlooking the bay. Parking and drink vouchers are included in the stay, a thoughtful gesture that makes the property feel more personal. For travelers, the inn offers a chance to step into history while keeping modern convenience close at hand.
