The Ray - Penthouse Suite - Rooftop View

Summary:
Welcome to The Ray, where history and elegance collide. Named after the legendary Ray Charles, who performed at this building in the beginning of his career, 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 Penthouse Suite is located on the top floor of a 3 story building. Your group will have full access to the entire 3rd floor and private roof deck with 360* views of St. Augustine that will take your breathe away.

The extremely spacious condo is complete with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Sleeps 8 with 2 queens and 2 full beds. 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 spa jacuzzi tub. Enjoy full meals at the condo with a fully equipped kitchen to prepare in.

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.

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.

Nice place, location suspect
Essentially several houses away from a homeless shelter, not disclosed. I would not have booked it for my guests (3 women in their 20's) had this been made known. Nice place though.

Overall very good
The location is extremely walkable for all historic and downtown activities. The particular neighborhood street is historic. There is a shelter of some sort up the street. So there are a handful of homeless people and those living in cars on the street. Some late night noise and groups of people wandering around.

Overall nice place. Both bathrooms off a bedroom which was okay as we had 2 couples, but if someone had used 3rd bedroom would have had to disturb others. Plenty of room, just suggest larger living room furniture. Easy walk to downtown restaurants and bars.

Great for family with one note
We absolutely loved this space! The only complaints I could find was there are 2 bathrooms, but both are in a bedroom. It’s uncomfortable for one bedroom that has no access to a bathroom without going through someone else’s bedroom at night. But the space is absolutely beautiful. Communication with the host was perfect and they sent out someone promptly when we had a small problem to correct it. We had a great time learning the history as well. Records should be replaced as they were all too scratched to use, but it’s a neat addition. Be mindful of the path you take to downtown to avoid the family center area where there are a good number of homeless if it bothers you. We went by it many times with no issues but could see how it could make some people uncomfortable. Would stay here again for sure! Thanks again!

Prime location, historic property
We really enjoyed staying at The Ray during our recent trip to St.Augustine. The location is perfect for walking everywhere you want to go and the rooftop patio is a great feature for views of the whole city. The hosts were excellent communicators and gave excellent suggestions for places to eat and visit.

great place to stay
the penthouse was such an awesome place to stay. the master bathroom was large and beautiful; the kitchen was nice and classy looking. the layout of the penthouse was great, but there was only one tv and it was in the main room (if that matters). the best part of the penthouse was the rooftop area; it was very relaxing and beautiful to sit up there in the mornings or late afternoons and look out over the city. the property manager was responsive and helpful.

The property is exactly what you see in the ad and was clean when we arrived. Having the two parking spots makes life easy. Everything is within walking distance and if you get the third floor having roof access is great. Would stay here again.
