Amazing experience! Great friendly people. This is not a tourist attraction per se. Ive seen a lot of reviews saying "can't go, it's private property" which is kind of true. It is reservations only. Great place to plan a small wedding. However, a visit to the website, a quick email and a phone call got me access to an amazing place with quite the story. You can do the same. They don't charge but they do accept donations.

Beautiful castle, history, structure, and view. Have wanted to visit and tour for yrs. Guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. If you have a group, go, enjoy, see this wonderful spiritual place.

The reason I give it this rating is because it's blocked off to the public. The only way to get in is by private tour. You can just barely sneak in some shots of the castle. Also there is nowhere to park either. Apparently the castle is "private property." It should be open to everyone. Kind of disappointed.

My wife and I just celebrated our 12th anniversary. We had our small but special St. Patrick's Day wedding in this beautifully Irish abbey style crafted castle. Thank you, Rusty, for allowing us to use your amazing place to make our special day most memorable.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi Rusty! At one time I believe you were allowing visitors to Otttis Castle on the first Sunday on every month? Is that still a thing? Or is it appointment only now...

when we visited the castle it was only by appointment. but be sure of the days and times of visit maybe it is better to coroborate with Rusty.

Hello Rusty, how might We go about getting an appointment and what the cost is? Just my husband and I returning to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Looks beautiful!

I'm not Rusty, I'm Grace & my husband Ralph doesn't work at Castle Ottis. Do a Google search and you'll get phone # to call for reservation! Good luck!

The best advice I can give is to contact the owner.. Go to Google and look up castle Otttis of St. Augustine Florida.. it should give you info on contacting the owner on the website

We had an absolutely fantastic tour of the castle. It's a very unique place that has a lot of history and symbolism. Rusty is a fantastic tour guide. This is a must see if your in the Daytona, FL area.
