About this apartment rental
Summary:
Welcome to The Ray, where history and elegance collide. Named after the legendary Ray Charles, who once performed here, 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 1st floor of a 3 story building. Your group will have full access to the entire 1st floor. The condo is complete with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with plenty of space for your group to spread out. It sleeps 8 with 1 queen in the master, a private bedroom with 1 queen, and another bedroom with 1 twin and 1 additional queen, with a 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 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!

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.

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?

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.

8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
Very nice place within easy walk to historic area. Convenient parking in an area with narrow streets and limited other parking. Beds were comfortable. Apartment was very clean. I did make suggestion to host that additional seating in living area would be nice as there wasn’t enough seating for the number of people that can sleep there. Would definitely stay again.

Me and my husband, my daughter, son-in-law and her three children ages 12, four and 2 1/2 recently stayed at the Ray on the first floor. What a very nice spacious place. The bedrooms were a nice size. The bathrooms were very clean with plenty of towels. Our grandsons loved the room they were staying in. It was absolutely perfect for them. They could not wait to show their great grandparents when they stopped by to pick us up to walk Into town.We did not cook many meals here, but we did get a couple takeout meals. There is plenty of cookware and plates. If you do choose to do that. We did need to use the washing machine and dryer which worked wonderful.We walked all over. This condo is located in a great location. We walk to a family event on Martin Luther King Ave. as well as an event on St. George Street. We walked to the shops in the center of town as well as on the other side of town pulling the two little ones in a big wagon. A couple nights we were returning close to midnight And felt safe coming back at that time.I did communicate with the owner of the unit during our time here and he was very quick to respond.We would definitely recommend the Ray and stay here again.

Perfect location & property manager very responsive
6 / 10Average·Jan 2024
The lock for the back side of the property was a PAIN....please advise others to use the front entry, unit #1, or you might change out the deadbolt. I was not told about a deadbolt, and there was no key, of course. Also, info is needed about setting the inside alarm, no one told me about there even being one in the unit.
The television is great, BUT you need to get the Samsung control working. The control for the other channels works, but without the Samsung control there is no volume control and no regular tv...a real pain for my guests.
And there is a light bulb out on the light fixture over the dining table.
I think information received from you about the experiences of Danny and Andrea have had in the past would prove it's the little things that make the stay an enjoyment or a "I'm not sure I want to do this again" adventure. This was my first experience booking a VRBO, that went smoothly, but the interaction after getting to the unit and during the stay was less than satisfactory for me. I enjoyed the neighborhood, and the fact the property was so close to Old Town St. Augustine and in Lincolnville.
