Overall ok. Nice staff. Clean. Small cramped room. Loud RR tracks nearby. You hear every creek in the house. Wall AC unit that gets warm. Decent breakfast. Nice front porch and lake in the back. Good parking. Not too many options that close to beach. I would stay again, but manage your expectations.

The grounds were very nice and we spent a lot of time hanging by the pond. The room was smaller then it appears on the website and we were glad we didn’t have to spent too much time in it. The breakfast was very good and it was nice to eat on the porch. The owner was very nice and friendly. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Perfect Location, Lovely Inn
Perfect Location, Lovely Inn We spent two nights here while exploring St. Augustine for the first time and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Owner was truly a consummate host, giving us a map and brief overview of the town's attractions upon arrival and making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. As others have noted, the breakfasts was delicious and had a lot of selections. We felt truly welcome! We loved the location and the pond in the yard was just gorgeous. The beach was great and lots restaurants and sights was a big plus. You simply can't go wrong by staying here.

There are much better places around
We needed a place to put our heads for the night---we chose this place because it was "pet friendly" for our ten year old arthritic golden retriever. Even though we were the only guests in the place, we were put on the third floor, told to use the side entrance because of the dog----we were up at 7:30 to leave and found no coffee or breakfast. Then she added a twenty five dollar pet charge we found on our bill-------all hat, no cattle---find another place

Walden Inn stay in Spring Lake
The inn was very cute with wicker chairs on the porch to relax in as well as great hospitality and buffet breakfast. The location was perfect for seeing the Spring Lake area, downtown and beautiful beaches nearby.
