Entering the Alexander Homestead, a premier Saint Augustine bed and breakfast resort, through the picturesque front porch from the old fashioned garden walkway you can hear strains of classical music and spy a small book of Emily Dickinson's poetry in the formal living room that is rich with antiques and romance. The homestead has become my sanctuary, where guests return time and again to unwind from another time and place and slip into the sensual tranquility of the Alexander Homestead, Saint Augustine's most romantic bed and breakfast.
