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!

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.

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.

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.
