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 host was very welcoming and helpful. The place was nice and clean. The floor was a bit weird as there are open spaces between the flooring but it wasn’t an issue for us.
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.

This was a very nice place to stay easy to get around and very close to the historical downtown district of St Augustine beautiful home
I brought my daughter and several of her friends to St. Augustine and stayed at the Ray for her 18th birthday. The Ray, 1st floor was perfect! Open living area, spacious bedrooms, and easy access in and out. It was clean, comfortable and we loved the bathrooms.
We were surprised with how large this house was. Our family rented all three floors and were wonderfully surprised with how large it was. Our family had lots of space, unit was stocked with supplies and towels. Air worked fantastic! We would absolutely rent this or any of the units again!!
It was great to come back to this slice of heaven after a hot day out. The place was conveniently located and had some good eateries around. The museums were walking distance from the Ray which provided additional flexibility.
Overall we loved the place and would definitely rebook when we return.
We had the best time at The Ray! The place was spotless and so roomy and relaxing! The pictures really dont do the place justice! Literally just minutes walk to dowtown St. Augustine. It was everything they say it is and so cozy as well! Highly recommend!
Beautiful condo with a historic but modern flare. Great location and parking!
Beds are somewhat small, but worked for us… may be difficult for tall or larger people.
Overall, we would definitely recommend and may even return!
Great spot to celebrate a weekend getaway with friends.
Short walking distance to downtown attractions.
Easy check in/out process.
Condo had everything we needed! We will be back!
This is a great property. It is about a 10 min walk to downtown st Aug where there are lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Great location. The owner was VERY responsive to any questions we had.
Great location as it was close to everything, 5-10 minute walk at best. Residence was clean and well kept. Set-up was exactly as advertised. Would recommend.
