Circa 1900

Circa 1900 is a historic vacation home in St. Augustine's Historic District, a private downtown base with free parking that sleeps up to 8. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath house gives families, couples traveling together, and small groups room to spread out across 1,600 square feet, with private outdoor space and a walkable old-city location. It is not a beach tower or a resort unit; it feels like a real Historic District home, with the space and flexibility that make a downtown stay easier.

The House

Guests open the gate to a private brick-paved courtyard, step up to the covered porch, and enter an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area where the group can gather between outings. The living room is a relaxed place to watch TV and cool off after walking the city, and the dining area works for shared meals, takeout nights, or a slow breakfast before heading out into old St. Augustine.

The kitchen is a real practical advantage in the Historic District, where guests are surrounded by restaurants and cafes but still want the option to make breakfast, keep drinks cold, or handle snacks for kids without leaving the house. It is a full kitchen with cookware, dishes and utensils, a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, ice maker, and coffee maker.

Circa 1900 has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across 1,600 square feet. The primary bedroom sits toward the rear of the home with a private ensuite bath, giving families or couples sharing the stay a better sense of privacy after a full day of sightseeing. The home also includes air conditioning, central heat, Wi-Fi, television with satellite or cable, linens and towels, an iron and board, and a washer and dryer, the kind of details guests appreciate once a trip is actually underway.

The outdoor space is one of the home's strongest features. Along with the private brick-paved courtyard there is a covered front porch, a second covered porch off the kitchen, a large paved patio, a veranda, and a garden-style yard, plus a charcoal grill and a fire pit. Morning coffee can happen on the porch, a quiet break in the courtyard, and after dinner the group can gather outside around the fire pit before turning in for the night. Circa 1900 is also pet-friendly, with pets welcome for an additional pet fee, which gives families and pet owners more flexibility when planning a downtown stay.

St. Augustine

St. Augustine is the oldest city in the country, and a stay here puts old streets, bayfront scenery, museums, trolley stops, restaurants, and shops within easy reach. Guests can fill a day with history and sightseeing, then mix in a beach afternoon or a fishing trip when they want a change of pace. That variety is part of what makes the city such an easy base: one day can focus on downtown, the next on the coast, and another on a little of both. Vilano Beach is a quick coastal outing close to downtown, St. Augustine Beach has a livelier feel with restaurants and a pier, and Crescent Beach, a few miles to the south, offers a quieter stretch of sand.

The Area

Circa 1900 sits in the middle of the Historic District, just steps from antique shopping, food, and other attractions. Major landmarks including Castillo de San Marcos, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, the Fountain of Youth, the Old Jail, and Francis Field events are all within blocks, so guests can leave the car parked and explore on foot. Staying downtown changes the rhythm of the trip: the city is not just something you drive to for the day, it becomes the neighborhood around you, with the freedom to browse a few shops, stop for lunch, head back to the house for a break, and go back out for dinner or an evening tour.

For groups comparing other downtown homes, the Historic District also includes Casa de' San Marco and Seahorse Cottage for smaller parties, and Casita 1860 for couples, all within the same walkable old-city setting.
