About this property

Villa 1928 “Pumpkin” -Luxe Home- Hidden Gem in the heart of the “Oldest City”

Villa 1928 also nicknamed "Pumpkin" 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 city gates. Pumpkin is nestled at the end of the tiny, magical one lane street that was originally built for horse and carriage or foot traffic access only. For guests that appreciate upscale, super clean, immaculate yet classic design and definitely for those history buffs looking to enjoy and experience what it was like to live in the Oldest City back in the early 1900s, this is the Villa for you... impeccably kept, private, yet in the heart and walking distance to all that the old city has to offer.

The Space:
The Villa 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 "prohibition era/timeframe in mind."

The Interior:
Make your way up the fresh, crisp, clean front porch steps onto a serene, screened in front porch, perfect for enjoying the quiet, historic street atmosphere (sometimes even faintly hearing the nearby live music) while sipping some Rose' or a cold one lounging on the comfy porch plush loveseat or pillowed chair. Step inside the front door that opens into a fresh and clean living area with a genuine leather couch, showcasing an over 80" flat screen Television with wi-fi streaming all available for gusts to enjoy... step further into the open dining area and kitchen, fully stocked with all essentials. Step to the hallway with two bedrooms each has a queen bed, with clean white linens, a bathroom with essentials and a refreshing walk in shower... all of which to suit even the most discerning of guests.

The Exterior:
Step outside the back door into a charming, tranquil outdoor seating/lounge courtyard areas with plants and a fountain feature along with landscape lighting to enjoy alongside table with umbrella feature (side courtyard)...

Parking/Location:
There is space for up to two vehicles to park side by side in front of the Villa, however, there is likely no need to drive as every attraction in the historic district is just a short walk, hop, skip or jump away. Simply step out the front door and you are surrounded by a treasure trove of museums, shops, cafes, spa, restaurants (some of the finest dining that St. Augustine has to offer), hotels/bars, including Casa Monica, Flagler College, St. George Street, etc and if you wish, you can even book a horse and carriage to pick up at the end of the street.

MOKE rental option/separate from Villa:
If interested, you also have the option of contacting the Host to rent a MoKe for the day or to use for your entire stay. The options are endless at this splendid retreat.

Brief Summary:
For a truly exceptional experience in what is arguably the best location in the city and in one of the most charming, clean, and gorgeous villas, where you will live like a true local, look no further for your next visit to "the oldest city..." and we hope that you become a repeat guest for many years to follow!

Guest Access:
Guests will have full private access to the entire home and outdoor areas.

Other Notables: Villa 1928 “Pumpkin” 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 experience…

***Moke Option*** (Separate Rental)
Guests have the option of renting the owner’s Moke, please contact owner directly for details.




PARKING***


***NEIGHBORS***
There is arguably no other location which is as close to all of the best that the city of St. Augustine has to offer, yet as secluded and quiet, because this is a dead end street (no through traffic) with just a few other homes (7 or 8 in total). We hope that you enjoy, but ask you to please be respectful of our wonderful neighbors.

***NO PETS ALLOWED***

***NO SMOKING***. No Smoking is permitted in the home nor on the front porch.

Weekend getaway
The cottage was perfect for anyone looking to stay close to the historic downtown area. It was clean and well stocked with everything you would need for your stay. The only minor inconvenience is the road and the parking spaces are very narrow and definitely would not accommodate a larger SUV or pickup truck. The property manager was very professional and very responsive. Overall it’s a great place and would recommend to anyone.

Great Stay in St. Augustine
We had a fantastic time in St. Augustine. The “pumpkin” house was perfectly located and a great house for two couples to stay very comfortably. We had great communication to make check in and check out very easy and the place was very clean. There seems to be a nosy neighbour that was upset about having “renters” on the street but she only spoke to us once and it did not effect the stay at all. Would highly recommend staying here!
