The Foreword is a luxury 1BR/1BA suite at Three Stories Inn, providing a polished retreat in historic St. Augustine. Located on the second level above La Nouvelle, an upscale French restaurant, this apartment offers a private balcony, full kitchen, and high-end interiors.

The Space:
You are booking a private, fully equipped 1BR/1BA apartment on the second level of Three Stories Inn. The interior is designed for a luxury stay, with a full kitchen, in‑unit washer and dryer, and thoughtfully curated living and dining spaces. We have hand‑selected lavish linens and unique furniture pieces to ensure a sophisticated experience. The suite includes a private balcony facing Bridge Street, perfect for watching local horse carriages pass by.
Guest Access:
Guests enjoy a private entrance at the rear of the building, marked by black rocking chairs on the porch. Entry is fully digital and keyless for both the main building and your private penthouse suite. The Epilogue is located on the third floor above the restaurant and is accessible only by stairs. Please note that this historic property is not handicap accessible.
The Neighborhood:
Located at 102 Bridge Street, you are in the heart of Lincolnville, one of St. Augustine’s most charming historic districts. Fine dining at La Nouvelle is on the first floor, with Blue Hen Cafe and The Ice Plant Bar just steps away. You’re a short walk from the Lightner Museum, Flagler College, and other historic sites, and about 10–15 minutes on foot from St. George Street’s shops and restaurants.
Getting Around:
Most historic landmarks and St. George Street shopping are a 10–15 minute stroll away. Dedicated private parking is located directly across the street on Martin Luther King Avenue. Uber and Lyft are very active in this area for quick trips to the beach, lighthouse, and other nearby attractions.
Other Things to Note:
Noise:
The building is soundproof, and the restaurant noise does not carry into the apartments. You may hear light, intimate music while on the balcony or porch, but guests do not hear restaurant noise inside their suites.
Scents:
Because the inn is above a gourmet kitchen, you may notice a mild aroma of herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and garlic) in the main stairwell and occasionally in the units. Vents are regularly serviced, and odor-eliminating devices are installed, with a light eucalyptus/tea tree scent provided for guest comfort.

Early check-in and late check-out are subject to the housekeeping schedule and same-day turnovers. You’re welcome to contact us 1–3 days before arrival to request early check-in, or the day before departure to request late check-out. Requests are considered when available, but are not guaranteed.
Parking after check-out:
Housekeeping uses the designated parking spaces and cannot park in the restaurant lot. For this reason, leaving your car after check-out is usually not possible. If you reach out, we will let you know if an exception can be made for your date.
