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

Beautiful house in a great location. House located on a safe and quiet small end road. Was able to walk everywhere downtown and did not need to use our car even once. Which was great because as others have said, parking a larger vehicle can be tricky. Luckily the neighbor across from the property is very friendly and even assisted us in backing out. Appreciate the great communication from the owner’s and they always responded promptly.

Very close to everything! They are not kidding about the tight parking. However, once you figure it out, it’s easy! Loved our stay!

Perfect place in a great location

Very clean property and just as the pictures describe it. Great location - walking distance to everything.

What a perfect lo location! The house is prist

Beautiful, well equipped and well maintained home in superb location. Walkable to pretty much everything in old town. Note that the second bathroom is not on the bedroom level which made it a little awkward for the couple that stayed in the non-en-suite bedroom.

Great location.

We had an amazing stay at the Villa 1898. It was beautifully decorated clean and so accommodating. Not to mention conveniently located to everything. We backed my Yukon in their driveway without a problem! It was tight but definitely doable. We never drove until we checked out. We were able to walk everywhere and do everything on foot. I highly recommend this stay for anybody looking to explore St. Augustine. It’s right in the heart of all the fun things!

Excellent location and house.

Great location and perfect space to hang out with friends. Amazing to walk city and come back for a bit and go back out.

Location is 10/10 here! Place was super clean. Would stay again!

Beautiful house. Location was amazing - right in the historic district. Very clean.

Very clean and attentive. We would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed St Augustine. Great location in the middle of everything. House was well appointed and very comfy.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The home is beautiful, clean and a perfect size foral a couple, small girls trip or, like ours, mother-daughter trip. Very clean, updated. Owner communicates well, responds to questions quickly. Location is absolutely perfect! Probably the quietest street in St Augustine, but literally across the street from historical district and a casual 3 minute walk to the bay. We only used the car once during our stay when we went to the beach. Do be aware the street is very narrow. A large car or suv would be challenging. Also be aware second bathroom is downstairs while both bedrooms are upstairs. Not an issue for us, but something that might be good to know. So glad we found this home on Vrbo; we will definitely return here next time we're in St Augustine.

Rene was great and very accommodating! She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The beds were very comfortable and the house was within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants! We hope to return next year!

We enjoyed our stay in the historic district. Close to everything. Very clean accommodations . Very quiet too. Walked everywhere ! Love the chandeliers

‘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

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!

Walk to everything we wanted to see. Many restaurants no more than 15 minute walk. Owner is great. Walk to the fort, Flagler and Lightener museums and much more. Already planning our return trip for next year

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.

Beautiful home and great location. Owners are very responsive to any questions. We could walk to all local points of interest and restaurants. Excellent stay.

Fantastic location for a Christmas lights trip! You can walk everywhere! Property is impeccable! Owners check in and make sure everything is as expected and more. Highly recommend!

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.

What a wonderful home that is in a perfect location to walk to the historic district.

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.

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.

Tucked away on a quiet dèad end road and walkable to everything! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during the Nights of Lights time of year.

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!

We had a wonderful time and this property was exactly what we wanted! We loved being about to walk everywhere and would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful time St. Augustine is a beautiful please. Definitely will be back.

Was a wonderful stay!! Such a great property and location. Super hosts and will be back

Beautiful home in a great location!

House is very nice and well kept. Plenty of character to boot! Easy walk to Old Town and the fort.
