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!

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!

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.
