About this property

Historic Murphy's House

This is not your ordinary vacation rental!
Our home is located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in St Augustine, the Historic Abbott Tract. The Historic Murphey House is a wonderful two story house that was built between 1885 and 1894, the details set it apart from the rest. Our house features original hardwood floors throughout, antique brass chandeliers, original door hardware, beautiful antique furniture, and a claw foot tub. The centerpiece in the kitchen is a very rare and working 1926 electric stove which features two ovens, and multiple burners. All the charm of a Bed and Breakfast with an affordable price. This is your chance to experience St Augustine the way it is meant to be experienced.
A unique stay awaits you at The Historic Murphey House!

We have also just finished a complete exterior renovation so please book and enjoy this special place. The house is equipped with central heat and air conditioning to keep you comfortable, and it is set up to sleep up to 6-8 people, if you have the larger group of 8, the master suite can be split into two bedrooms with a twin bed and trundle bed underneath. The kitchen is also fully equipped with all utensils, dishes, etc., dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, and a Breville Toaster oven. A full-sized Washer and Dryer are also onsite to help make your family trip a bit easier. Parking is also easy as there is an on-site driveway that can easily fit 3 mid-size cars.

Wireless internet is onsite, with internet TV devices such as ROKU available on the TVs. There is also a PlayStation and DVD player available for viewing/playing as well.

Please enjoy your stay in our wonderful home, and take in everything Saint Augustine has to offer, without worrying about parking!

Very charming old house. It was well stocked and a short walk to the historic areas. The antique (fully functional) kitchen stove was a fun surprise. Definitely want to stay there again.

Perfect location

We’ve stayed in St Augustine many times and this was one of the closest locations to everything you’d want to check out while there. Quiet and safe neighborhood and the home has tons of charm and history. There’s also a cute mini doughnut shop just around the corner that we enjoyed. The place was perfect for our mini getaway.

So convenient, right in the middle of historic district

The historic house was in a perfect location for walking to several attractions and restaurants within the historic district. We enjoyed walking to the Old Jail, St George Street, and the hop on hop off trolley. Our host, Christian, was attentive, and the place was very clean.

This property is perfect for so many different reasons. The house is beautiful and perfectly situated near the historic district providing a short walk to the City Gate and St. George St. There is plenty of room for everyone, including parking, and has all the amenities.

Couples Getaway

The host was as nice as the house. It was charming and had everything you need. It’s an old house so it has lots of sqeaks. There were 8 of us. More suitable for 6 adults or 3 couples. We all enjoyed our stay and wrote in the guest book. We would go back again!

In the middle of everything.

This property is located within walking distance of everything. Trolley station is only a couple blocks down from the house if you prefer to explore the city that way. Enough parking for a full size truck and SUV. I would stay again.

Girl's weekend in St. Augustine!

Everything we had hoped it would be. If you have trouble with internet, check connections under the settee ( antique couch) . More Washclothes would be nice. Pasta strainer also. Kitchen towels also. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

We rented an antique Florida house, 8 of us coming from various Florida locations and Kansas. Settling, wood swelling, floors creaking - all part of the expected charm. There were minimal amounts, but PLENTY of charm. This place is beautiful and the location can’t be beat. Blocks from all the history, food and shopping you can handle, and around the corner from tram services to go wherever you don’t want to walk. I couldn’t tell you if the televisions worked, as we spent our time at the house barbecuing, eating, talking, and playing cards. We drank and read on the porch and balcony. This home is clean, quiet air conditioning, good water pressure, and messaging the host yielded quicker responses than I expected. If I ever need a place in St Augustine again, I will look for this house first. We loved it.

Great stay near the fort

Great stay near downtown St Augustine. Everything is within walking distance, even with small children. Comfortable beds and was enough to fit 2 families (7 people). Easy check in and checkout. Not too far of a drive to come sights, Alligator farm, Lighthouse and the Beach. Super close to the fort as well-perfect for the 4th of July stay.

Fantastic house & location!!

This was my second stay here because the location is perfect and the house is wonderful!! It's just a few minute walk to St. George St., the Fort, Ripley's Museum but out of the chaos. The neighborhood is excellent and neighbors are friendly. I will always choose this house if it's available when I have friends and family come to visit.

70th birthday weekend

My mother in love was celebrating her 70th and St Augustine is a special place for her. My wife and 2 kids put together a surprise weekend for her and one of her sons was able to come with his wife and toddler. We had a wonderful time the house was absolutely perfect for our group. Super comfortable and superb location. Kitchen was well stocked with anything to cook meals and the place was one of the cleanest we’ve stayed in. Fabulous place!
