About this property

An irresistable oceanfront vacation home in the heart of historic St Augustine!

The Sculptor's House proves that you can have it all! This amazing home on the water's edge looks straight out St. Augustine Inlet to the open sea, where Spanish galleons sailed in search of sanctuary over 450 years ago. You're just one block from the historic Castillo de San Marcos on a peaceful, elegant street, so you can leave your car in the garage and walk to the best cafes, shops and galleries in town. At the end of the day, you'll stroll in the shade of towering oaks and grand Victorian homes to your own private, secluded getaway.

Originally home to St. Augustine's finest sculptor, the Sculptor's House has just been luxuriously renovated with artistry and charm. The three ample bedrooms and one pull-out sofa offer sleeping for eight in One King, One Queen and Two Twin Beds. Three flat screen TVs, hi-speed wireless Internet and an integrated sound system provide entertainment for the whole family. French doors from the master suite open to a private patio with calming views of the ocean, bay and Bridge of Lions.

As you relax on the beautiful terraces, admire the Sculptor's House works of art or lounge in the spacious living areas your cares will simply melt away. "Beautiful restoration, beautiful view, great location."

Beautiful, peaceful, and convenient

Great location, relaxing space, very clean, excellent communications. Appreciated the special touches including coffee and snack basket, soap and shampoo in the baths, laundry detergent - everything we needed. (Didn’t cook in the kitchen so cannot comment on supplies there.) We were able to leave the car in the garage and walk to everything in the historic district. Would be our first choice if we return to St Augustine again, which we hope to do!

Fabulous Location with an Amazing View

This was an ideal property for us and our dogs to enjoy the town of St. Augustine. Walking distance to the historic district which made it easy to go into town, come back home and then go back later for dinner. The house set up is perfect for keeping dogs confined to certain areas. The view to the water is amazing with plenty of views of wildlife and boats. We would definitely stay here again if our travels take us back to St. Augustine.

Wahoo

This house was perfect. Had business in Jacksonville and Palatka. Great home base for my trip. The access to historic area, restaurants, and shops was easy. Once you enter the home you get a peaceful feeling from the un obstructed view of the moored sailboats, Matanzas river and St Augustine inlet. House was extremely well kept and stocked. I will definitely return. Oh, and we chartered a boat out of Comanche Cove to fish the wahoo run. Unbelievable.

Lovely St. Augustine

The week flew by and there were many restaurants and tourist sites within walking distance. Try a breakfast sandwich from the Juniper Market and a dozen itty bitty donuts ( Saturday morning cartoons was my favorite). The pups (2 labs)are fans as well with a fast drive to Vilano Beach for their morning walk and the Castillo San Marco grounds for walking from the house day and night!

House is as advertised

Our family stayed here for a wedding and had a great time. House is in an ideal location, pretty much a 15 minute walk to any of the major attractions (Fountain of Youth, Fort, downtown etc). Water views are amazing and it’s on such a quiet street. Communication is also excellent and we’re kind enough to let us leave a little late to accommodate a delayed flight. Highly recommend to others looking.

Great House! Fabulous views and location!

We loved our stay at the sculptors house! Communication was excellent, easy check-in. The house was clean, the mattresses were comfortable and it was well stocked. We loved the location, we walked into town everyday and enjoyed all that St Augustine had to offer. It was a short drive to the beach. Definitely recommend!

Great visit at a beautiful home in the historic district

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The home is beautiful with a fantastic view of the water. We loved sitting on the back patio or in the Ocean Room watching the birds, dolphins and boats on the water. The house is tastefully decorated with beautiful sculptures from the sculptor who previously owned the house. The house is also extremely convenient. It is just a couple of minute walk to the Castillo de San Marcos and the St. Augustine historic district. Even though the home is convenient to the historic district, the neighborhood where the home is located is exceptionally quiet and peaceful. We had a great visit at this property.

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Abboud & Jeanne Abboud

Host profile image
The Sculptor's House has been in our family for over 50 years. It was home to our great uncle, Ted Karam, who is one of Saint Augustine's most prestigious sculptors. Our uncle left us his home and we've named the house after him thus, "The Sculptor's House".

We are Jeanne and Katherine Abboud. We are sister's and we co-own The Sculptor's House.

Why they chose this property

Someone once told us that "you don't pick Saint Augustine, it picks you", and they are right! We inherited this fabulous house and renovated it down to the last detail. We were inspired by our Uncle's creativity, and his love for Saint Augustine. This is our family jewel, and we're enjoying creating so many family memories at The Sculptor's House.

What makes this property unique

The Sculptor's House allows our family, friends, and guests to experience Saint Augustine to it's fullest. We are conveniently located on a quiet, peaceful street, yet we are a few minute walk to downtown. We spent 2 years renovating the house so that it has every convenience.

The best part about The Sculptor's House is that you can walk to town, sit on the wrap around terrace and enjoy the breath taking view, walk through the gardens, or pick fresh fruit from our own orchard on the property; complete with grapefruit, oranges, limes, lemons, and cumquats, and avocados.

The Sculptor's House proves that you can have it all - the convenience to town, while enjoying the peaceful tranquility of the water. We truly have the best location and view in the city. This is a real treasure for all who visit.
