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.

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!

This property is perfect for so many different reasons. The house is beautiful and perfectly situated near the historic district providing a short walk to the City Gate and St. George St. There is plenty of room for everyone, including parking, and has all the amenities.

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!
