About this apartment rental
ABOUT THIS SPACE
Sweet Lemon Stay is a ground-floor apartment hosting up to 6 guests across two furnished bedrooms and a connected open-concept living area. The layout keeps everyone together when you want it and gives you quiet retreats when you need them.
Living Room: Comfortable seating around a large-screen smart TV — Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and anything you stream at home works here. Décor items collected from as far away as the Amalfi Coast in Italy give this space a warmth that no cookie-cutter rental can fake. Pull chairs around the table for a group breakfast or a late-night game after a day of exploring the city.
Primary Bedroom: King-size bed with a plush mattress, natural light, and genuine closet space — the kind of storage that lets you actually unpack and settle in for the week.
Second Bedroom: Twin beds with soft mattresses — a natural fit for children, a pair of friends, or anyone who wants their own sleep space.
Kitchen: Fully stocked for real cooking. Air fryer, microwave, mini refrigerator, full cookware set, dishes, and silverware. Whether it's a group breakfast before the fort or a quiet dinner in on your last night, this kitchen has you covered.
Bathroom: Clean, bright, well-sized shower. Stocked with essentials so you're not hunting for basics on arrival.
Porch & Outdoors: Your private front porch with yellow patio chairs is where mornings find their rhythm — coffee at sunrise, a glass of wine at dusk as the neighborhood strolls past. Mature shade trees and a shell-lined path surround the property. Free bikes in the garage let you explore the city's streets at your own pace, no reservations needed.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Families with kids: Ground-floor entry means no stairs for strollers or tired little legs. The twin room fits children perfectly; forts, carriage rides, ice cream, and mini golf are all a walk away. The open-concept layout keeps the family together without anyone feeling cramped.
Pet owners: Bring your dog. A one-time $50 fee covers the cleaning — no hunting across town for a pet-friendly option. Your furry travel companion is genuinely welcome here.
History and culture seekers: Walk out the door into 500 years of American history. The fort, Flagler architecture, and St. George Street are right there, waiting every morning.
Couples: King bedroom, front porch evenings, waterfront sunsets, carriage rides, and ghost tours after dark. This city is effortlessly romantic — and this apartment puts you in the middle of it.
Remote workers: Fast WiFi, stocked kitchen, on-site laundry, and the energy of downtown St. Augustine whenever you need a change of scenery from your home office.
