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.

Carriage Street
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!! 🤗💕

Great house and location
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.
