Room Buyout Details:
To host an on-site event, Haley’s Court requires a two-night minimum full-property room buyout, ensuring ample time for setup, celebration, and cleanup while maintaining a private, intimate atmosphere.
The room buyout rate is in addition to the event fee and varies by date and season. Rooms may be booked individually by your guests through a private booking link or covered by the couple if preferred. The wedding party is responsible for any unbooked rooms when hosting an on-site event.
For couples seeking alternative options, weekday events are available with a one-night minimum.
Because availability is limited, we recommend reaching out early to hold your preferred dates while we finalize the details together.

In the late 50s thru the 60s my Grandparents brought us to Haley's Court several years in a row. My Grandparents had stayed here several times and loved the motel, especially the owners. My earliest memories at Haley's was the large bird room. ...
Yes, an aviary that would keep a young man of 5 occupied for hours. We still have pictures by the pool. Now at 70 it's on my travel list again! Thanks for the memories!

Spent 2 nights for a birthday trip at this place and it was great!
Picked the place and the room based on the fact that it had no carpet, beds were elevated (hence it could be cleaned underneath AND I could check if it was). :)
Loved what we f...
ound when we arrived. A very clean place, thoughtful and really pretty interior design, more than adequate kitchenette. Great bathroom.
Our room was a corner room, and it was lovely. Big window in the "kitchen". 2 windows in the bedroom area. Best part: Absolutely quiet at night. NO noise whatsoever. And within minutes walking distance to Publix and the beach.
Nice patio to enjoy carry out food. Would definitely book again.
If you like gardens, Washington Oaks State Park (30 mins) is a must)

Haley’s Court Motel is the perfect combination of vintage and modern convenience. Host is very responsive and helpful. It was a great place to stay on a quiet island but very close to the historic St. Augustine. We are definitely returning and...

A hidden retro gem near Vilano Beach! And— It’s a family business.
We absolutely loved our stay at this charming retro-themed motel. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. I...
f you’re looking for a quiet getaway that still gives you easy access to the best of St. Augustine, this is it.
It’s about a 10–12 minute drive (or Uber) over a beautiful bridge to get to the downtown area, which gave us the best of both worlds—serenity and city access.
What stood out most was the spectacular customer service. Contactless check-in and communication via WhatsApp was super smooth, and the staff was responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay.
Small wishes (but not dealbreakers):
• A comforter on the bed would’ve made the nights even cozier.
• Two sets of towels would’ve been nice to have (4 total).
• A couple bottles of water in the fridge would’ve been a sweet touch.
All in all, it’s a stylish, quiet, and well-run escape that feels like your own private beach hideaway. We’d definitely return.

aracter. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and thoughtfully done. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the location made it easy to experience all the sights, especially during the Nights of Lights.
There’s something special about staying somewhere that feels both nostalgic and well cared for, and Haley Boutique Court Motel delivers exactly that. It truly felt like a home base for a meaningful, joy-filled weekend. We made wonderful memories here and would absolutely stay again when visiting St. Augustine. Highly recommend!
