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!

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.

Mother Daughter Weekend
What a lovely house! Our group of three stayed here on a mother daughter weekend and connected with 12 other ladies. The location is awesome and the house is great. Walkable to all of the downtown attractions. Comfy beds, great kitchen and the communication with the owner was quick and very accommodating. I would highly recommend, and I would stay here 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.

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.

Perfect place to be to get that quaint St Augustine feel!!
This beautiful house was perfect! We enjoyed our stay so much and definitely will stay here again! This house was perfectly furnished and very clean. The walk to the downtown area was very short and the perfect distance away to have a little more peace and quiet. We never even drove the car once we arrived until it was time to come home. We enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning drinking our coffee together as a family. The charm this beautiful house holds is amazing!! We loved it!!
