Property Description
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!

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!

Such A Cool Place, Cool Space
I have to admit when I first walked in ---- which wasn't a guarantee because I lost my email w/ the door code...contacted the owner (Christian T.) - who was quick to respond (Thank you again!)...then found the original email, too, hah ---- . . . When I first walked in I noticed what appeared to be large gaps around door frames to the outside and feared we were going to share the space with bugs.
I was totally wrong. The home is super clean, not a bug to be found (and never saw one even late at night!). For an almost grown family of 4, there was so much room. Comfortable. Spacious. Overall really very quiet - despite being on a hot corner for traffic.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the 1926 oven in the kitchen - and we used it. Made 3 batches of cookies - first batch was the experimental handful of cookies, then we rocked out two more batches. The kitchen seemed to have everything needed in order to cook a nice meal.
Loved the bedrooms and bathrooms. Loved the furniture. The high-backed pink chair in the corner was great for me as I'm fairly tall, and I had no problem falling asleep in it. I'm also fairly heavy so was wondering how the staircase would take me --- not a single "creak", very solid!
Easy to park the car and load / unload, recommend backing in of course, since it's a high traffic corner.
This home is definitely on or short list of places we'll look for availability in again as we like to hit up St. Augustine 2-3 times a year.
Really great place.
