About this property

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.

Ghost House Adventure

‘Ghost House’ exceeded our expectations!The house has been beautifully restored, with amazing attention to detail. We loved hanging out on the front porch. The house is close to the historic district, restaurants and art galleries. We pulled into the carport and didn’t drive again until we left for home. We Will definitely stay here again, if we ever get to return to St. Augustine. Also, the owners are so kind and attentive. They checked on us, gave restaurant and activity recommendations. I f you’re headed to St. Augustine, you want to stay here!M

Visit to Flagler College

What an adorable hidden gem! The house is meticulously renovated but still retained the historic charm that makes St Augustine famous. The location is absolutely stellar. It is adjacent to the historic city center and a block away from Flagler College. Host was extremely responsive and accommodating. We very much enjoyed

Beautifully decorated and elegant. Great location for exploring old town on foot. As the owner noted, the parking is a tight squeeze, but what a value to park there. Comfortable and convenient- would stay there again and highly recommend!

Perfect location

The house was very clean and comfortable. The location to the historic district was perfect since driving and parking can be difficult. The only difficulty we had was the driveway was very tight to get into with a minivan.

Charming historic home right in the middle of historic district

A very charming and tastefully updated 2 story home right in the heart of the historic district of St Augustine. A two minute walk to the action of St George’s Street. The bathrooms and kitchen are nicely updated yet maintain a classic and historic feel. Two porches facing the street are a nice bonus. It’s hard not to think about what life was like there 100 years ago. Since it’s not a thru street there is zero traffic here unlike every other street in town. Stayed for the holiday Nights of Lights celebrations - and while the town was extremely busy the proximity to restaurants/shopping and back to the house, if need be, was super quick and easy. Would recommend for a family wanting to explore the great city of St Aug from a convenient home base.

This is a charming and well-appointed home which is quiet in the evenings despite being a stone's throw from Hypolita Street. Comfortable and clean, park your car and walk to everything. Would definitely stay again.

Historic St Augustine

The inside of the home was wonderful, clean, and elegant. The parking is extremely difficult if you have anything over a mid size SUV. Parking area will fit one vehicle at most and is nearly impossible to get out of… neighbor across the street made a rude comment to my wife and I as we were walking down the alley. Highly recommend avoiding her at all cost.

Amazing

Review of Our Stay at Ghost Our stay at Ghost was absolutely perfect! The house exceeded our expectations—it’s much bigger than it looks in the photos, impeccably clean, and every detail has been thoughtfully designed with high-end touches. No expense was spared, and it truly felt like a luxury getaway. We brought our teens for a little trip before they head off to college, and it was such a memorable experience for all of us. The space was comfortable, inviting, and ideal for creating lasting family memories. We loved it so much that we’re already planning to come back. Highly recommend!

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!
