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!

Such a lovely home!! We had a wonderful time. Christian was an excellent host and very responsive and welcoming. There is a coffee house just up the street that had a perfect porch to sit on. We went to Saint for dinner - delicious. Shopped on St. George street. Went to Cookiebird for Icecream- so good. Brunch at Sunday - yum. Found some treasures at the vintage stores. And we were very happy to be in the cool air conditioning when we returned to the house. This house is a fantastic location with a short walk to St. George one way and to the vintage stores the other. It was perfect!

The house was clean and had alot of character. For being an old house it was in pretty good shape. Loved the location, St George St. within walking distance and a wonderful coffee shop around the corner with yummy pastries. Looked forward to quiet time on the porch in the mornings with my cup of joe.

Our recent stay at the Historic Murphy House in St. Augustine was wonderful. The house was gorgeous with modern amenities like Roku TV and a roomy walk-in shower but old-fashioned features such as the GE Hotpoint Automatic stove/ovens and a claw foot tub. I wasn't familiar with St. Augustine when I booked the house, and my primary goal was to find a place that would sleep six comfortably (we actually started with eight, but two of our group were unable to go). We couldn't have asked for a better location; we were within walking distance from so many of the places we wanted to see, so the house was perfectly situated for the everything we did. This was a trip for the ladies in our family, but I've already told my husband that it would be great for us to go back because I think he'd love it down there. Hopefully, the Murphy House will be available when we decide to go!

We came for a girls birthday weekend and had an amazing time! This home was perfectly located across from an excellent coffee shop, Juniper Cafe. Highly recommend it!The home was clean and so cool with old features and decor. The size was perfect for 5 people to each have their own bed. No one in our group wanted to share a bed! The location of this home made this the perfect getaway! We could walk to the Fort and shopping/restaurant areas. Would definitely stay here again! Host was quick to respond to my little questions and accommodating to my requests. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

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.
