Villa 1898 “Ghost” Luxe Home- Hidden Gem in the heart of the “Oldest City”

Villa 1898 also nicknamed "Ghost” is a gorgeous newly renovated home located in one of the very best locations within the historic downtown district of St. Augustine. Its location on "Saint Andrews Court" is a hidden gem/hideaway, still a well kept secret, in the heart of downtown within the historic oldest city gates… impeccably kept, private, yet in the heart and walking distance to all that the oldest city has to offer.

The 1898 Villa “Ghost” has the original architectural details, quality and classic workmanship from the period in which it was built. No expense was spared in renovating the interior which boasts a modern yet timeless fashion, even the art work and furnishings were selected with that early 1900s era in mind."

Villa 1898 “Ghost” is definitely catered to the discerning guest and is enhanced by owner’s attention to detail when equipping the home. You will notice subtleties such as noise makers and dimmable night lights throughout, high end furnishings, outdoor floor fans to make outdoor seating more enjoyable, natural essential oils have been used for mosquito repellant outdoors, umbrellas available for guests who love walking in the rain as much as the owner does, landscaping is meticulous… owner keeps the paint consistently retouched, and even a nite light exterior installation to add to the charm in the evenings… this home is a secret treasure for guests to enjoy!

The Owner has another property on the same street nicknamed “Pumpkin”… please reach out to the owner if you are interested in booking both homes which are essentially right next to each other.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. A kitchenette is outfitted with a stovetop, a microwave, and a dishwasher.

Adorable House and Great Location
The house was very clean and very nicely decorated. It was spaciouse enough for a girls of four ladies. We all shared the shower in the upstairs bathroom as the one downstairs is a small antique tub with a wrap around curtain. The location is perfect for walking to everything. We explored downtown easily. There are so many great restaurants in St. Augustine. We were even able to walk to the Ice House which is a little farther away from downtown. Just around the block is Harbor Bay which is a unique cheesecake sampling restaurant that I definitely recommend. The only thing to be aware of is mot to bring a large SUV! We drove a mini van which we were able to park in the assigned parking space after a 70 point turn, lol. Once you can fit into the space you arre good until you leave though because you truly don't have to drive anywhere!

The property was very nice. I did let the owner/property manager know that there were some issues and I’m certain that they are going to take care of them because they value their property and it shows what a wonderful time, place, location.

Amazing home….fantastic location!
Wow, wow, WOW! If you want to take an already fun, romantic city and amplify it, stay here!!! Location: Perfect….walkable (and we brought bikes so bike able) to everything! Down an ally you wouldn’t know was there, nestled amoung other historic houses….we loved it! House: Impeccable! The care these owners have given this 1898 home is incredible. It is the perfect mix of modern while still keeping its historic value and features. Exceptionally clean, larger than expected and very comfortable. Any small issue was handled quickly and with the passion of someone who truly loves their home. BOOK IT!!! You won’t regret it!

We’ve been visiting St. Augustine for more than 40 years. We had tried another VRBO and it was terrible. Before I booked this, I emailed the owner, because there were no reviews yet… and she assured me that it would be amazing. Luckily it was. The owners are super awesome and friendly. The neighborhood is so cool, we met the people(locals) across the street and some renters from the same house the owners rent.. down the street. We had a slight issue with the gas… but the owners were promptly on that.. I couldn’t imagine anyone helping us out more. Handyman was so nice and fixed it quickly. Anyone that has knee problems, like I do, just an fyi.. there are a lot of stairs. I was able to navigate successfully, so it wasn’t such an issue. We hope to go back and stay at this 100+ year old house again. Thank you for everything and sharing your amazing home!

Hidden Gem in the heart of the historic district!
We stayed in this, absolutely beautiful property for our New Year’s weekend. We couldn’t be happier! Our host was very responsive to questions and had tons of suggestions on places to eat, and things to do. This beautiful home is in walking distance to pretty much everything! Impeccably, clean and gorgeous from the inside out. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a memorable family trip to St. Augustine!! 🤗💕

Had a wonderful time staying at this cozy house located perfectly in downtown St Augustine. You are literally a block away from St George street but far enough away to have a peaceful sleep and stay, would highly recommend for families and friends.
