About this property

The Ray - 2nd Floor Historic Condo- Walk to DNTN

Summary:
Welcome to The Ray, where history and elegance collide. Named after the legendary Ray Charles, who performed directly on the stage of this condo, The Ray is fully dedicated to bringing his spirit to life and creating the perfect space for you to enjoy St. Augustine.

The Space:
*IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER FOR WEDDING GROUPS/PARTIES: At this time we do not accept wedding groups/parties unless the entire building is booked. Please send inquiry prior for APPROVAL prior to booking. Extra security deposit will be required*

The condo is located on the 2nd floor of a 3 story building. Your group will have full access to the entire 2nd floor. The condo is complete with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, with plenty of space for your group to spread out. It sleeps 8 with 1 king in the master, 1 queen, 2 full beds (bunk) and full pullout in the living room. 

Here you’ll find many ways to relax and unwind during your stay beginning with hotel quality mattresses and towels and ending with a bath bomb in one of the spacious tubs. Enjoy full meals at the condo with a fully equipped kitchen to prepare in. Sip on your morning coffee on the private balcony while soaking in the Florida sun or chill inside while catching up on your favorite Netflix show. 

For the full "Ray" experience we've provided a record table and some of Ray Charles' top records to listen to. A fun way to celebrate the life of a musical genius.

No need to fight for the limited downtown parking, 2 dedicated off-street spaces are reserved for your unit in the back of the building. And with the prime location, you can park it and leave it as everything St. Augustine has to offer is only a short walk away.

The Ray is located in the historical, residential neighborhood of Lincolnville which is known for its deep history with the city and picturesque charm. Lincolnville has been a growing neighborhood and flourishes as locals continue to refurbish and transform older homes into modernized beauties. The neighborhood holds many favorite local spots such as Blue Hen, Preserved, and Dog Rose Brewery. All within a few minutes walk from the home!

From The Ray you are just a:

• 8 MIN walk to downtown St Augustine - King Street.
• 6 MIN walk to the Lightner Museum and the south side of downtown
• 15 MIN drive to Saint Augustine beach

Disclaimer: Saint Francis House sits between our building and the Dog Rose Brewery on Washington Street. If you prefer to avoid walking by Saint Francis we recommend walking south to Park Place and then east to Cordova Street. You'll enjoy walking through the southern side of downtown Saint Augustine, with all of its picturesque Inns, shops and gorgeous homes. Alternatively, please walk west on St Francis Street and make a right on MLK Avenue, which will take you straight to King Street and downtown. A helpful map will be provided in your unit to give multiple options for getting to town!

Other Things To Note:
-For your protection, security cameras are installed in the back parking lot and the stairwell
-Entrances and elevator are a shared amenity with other guests. The elevator provides direct access and you will have a private code for entry.

Guest Access:
You'll have full, private access to the entire condo

The Neighborhood:
The Ray is located in the heart of the Lincolnville neighborhood, known for it's rich history and charm. The community that dates back all the way to 1866 is found with a mixture of old, historic homes and newly renovated charmers. It is home to some local favorite spots such as Preserved, St. Augustine Fish Camp, Blue Hen, and more! Flagler College and the Lightner Museum are just minutes away.

Getting Around:
Enjoy the convenience of parking your cars without fighting for the limited downtown parking spots! 2 dedicated spots are reserved for your stay. You are in the perfect location for walking around downtown, but far enough from the action for a peaceful stay. Don’t feel like walking? The trolleys pick up and drop off 4 blocks away at the Villa Zorayda Museum. St. Augustine is very bike friendly so feel free to bring your own bikes as another way to explore. Don't want to travel with your bikes? Rent them through our favorite local vendor Drifter's, who includes free drop-off service! Uber and Lyft are also readily available in town.

Other Things to Note:
-SECURITY CAMERAS: Active security cameras are installed in the back parking lot and the stairwell of the building. No private areas can be seen and there are no other cameras inside or outside the home.
-Entrances and elevator are a shared amenity with other guests. The elevator provides direct access and you will have a private code for entry.

Interaction with Guests:
We strive to make sure your time at the home is relaxing and enjoyable by providing private, uninterrupted experiences. We are always available during your stay if there are any questions or for any recommendations on what to do and see in the area. Our local team is also available to stop by if you need any assistance!

Will stay here again
The apartment is fantastic, everything you could wish for. There are 3 bedrooms and bathrooms and the living area is open plan which is perfect for hanging out together. It is only a few minutes walk from downtown St Augustine and all that has to offer. We didn’t have a car, but there are 2 car spaces if needed. Daniel, the manager was great. Very quick communication and so helpful. Loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Lovely St Augustine
Spacious, spotless and ideally situated for leaving the car parked at the apartment and walking around the city. The apartment has a rich history of music and culture in that Ray Charles played there. The immediate surrounding area is being rejuventated and bringing back buildings to there original state. People we me around the area were friendly and helpful. Communication with the host was excellent and responsewas prompt.

Great property in a wonderful historic neighborhood
PRO: Beautiful property, spacious with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Wonderful, historic property & area. CON: never received information on how to access condo. had to call. TV reception-We got kicked off many times . Rebooted TV and WiFi many times and spent hours "fixing" the TV. One member of our party was very ill at times and sitting in the beautiful condo to recuperate (stage 4 cancer) was what was needed...but, the TV was not always working. We called within an hour of arriving and person said they would call back with help & we never heard back from her that day. Called again on day 2 and responded with text with useless information. Called again and send additional information which was marginally helpful...but again, spent over an hour to get the temporary "fix" to work. Serious crunch on our vacation time and frustrated no one came out to fix the situation. Kitchen cabinets need replacing and doors fell off of two cabinets and one cabinet couldn't open unless the oven door was opened all the way. Shower pressure in one bathroom was poor as well as sink pressure in master bath. Very frustrated by poor customer service response, but loved the property and neighborhood! I operated vacation rentals for over 20 years and prided myself on exceptional customer service. I realize this company has 78 properties to manage...but a bit more focus on customer service would go a long way.
