Photos and Description of the St. Augustine vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4)

The Lyons Building was converted into condominiums in the early 2000's. The building dates from the 1850's and was originally a grocery store and boarding house. The charming exterior of the building has been preserved, but all the construction inside is new. What's great about the Lyons Building? In a word, location, location, location! We are on the square in the heart of the historic district, so shopping and restaurants are literally at your doorstep. This is a very comfortable area to walk in day or night, with a festive atmosphere all year long and especially at holiday time.

The waterfront is a 2 block walk. There are excellent beaches with 10 minutes' drive. Check out our links below to web sites for Anastasia State Park, Vilano Beach and St. Augustine Beach. Horse drawn carriages and trolleys circle the square. There are only 18 units in this unique building, so it has a completely different feel from the large condominium complexes in the area. Our unit is furnished with turn-of-the-century antique oak furnishings and faces the side street (St. George Street) rather than King Street, so it is quiet and relaxing.

About The Owner

My husband and I fell in love with St. Augustine on our first visit there in 2005. We are die hard "old house people", and we couldn't resist the opportunity to make this condo our special place for family getaways.

The Owner purchased this condo in 2005
Why The Owner chose St. Augustine

We love being able to park our car (off street) and walk around historic St. Augustine. The charm of the area is almost palpable, and there are ample restaurants and shops within a one to four block radius of our building. We are adjacent to the Casa Monica Hotel, a five star hotel which is considered one of the top hotels in the area.

Super stay in December 2012

5 of 5
Submitted: January 6, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
December 2012 was the second time we stayed at this lovely condo. I would stay again and highly recommend it. It is beautifully decorated and feels like home. Everything you need is there (and working well) and it was spotless when we arrived.

It is located right in the middle of downtown St Augustine - literally steps from several local attractions and a very short walk to many others. Near many great restaurants too. Great place!!

A True Gem in downtown St. Augustine

5 of 5

I was fortunate enough to stay in this wonderful condo for the months of October and November and for a bit of December, 2011. You can not ask for a better location or a nicer owner. Cool thing is that you are right in the center of everything going on in downtown and you can't miss a thing. There might be music, a festival of some kind, a certain historical event is being remembered, etc. You will get to enjoy them all :O)) And, did i mention that you could enjoy them all from the rooftop, looking out on the city and all the happenings.

It was so wonderful to ride my bike to one of the city's Farmer's Markets or to the beach or even perhaps to one of the city's most beautiful tree-lined neighborhoods. Everything was within a short walk including restaurants, playhouses, shopping, historical presentations, etc. Truly, I can't imagine a better location in all of St. Augustine. Be sure to eat at the middle-eastern restaurant right below the condo. It is very good and the folks are very nice.

The condo itself is also very special and well-appointed. It is on the quieter end of the Lyons Building, so you have lots of privacy if you want it. And, If you have any concerns, the owners will attend to them very quickly and professionally. You will find everything to your liking in this condo, for sure.

St. Augustine has so much to offer: history, architecture, archaeology, music, the ocean, very nice people, the arts, etc.. You will enjoy all of this and more, from this wonderful condo in the Lyons Building.

Outstanding!

My husband and I just returned from a stay at this beautiful condo. Since we live less than two hours away, we have stayed in numerous hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, and a beach house or two over the last 25 years. This condo is by far our favorite place. The rooms are spacious, light, and bright, beautifully decorated, and clean and well maintained. The condo is in the heart of the historic downtown, 2 blocks from the bay, about a half mile from the fort, and steps away from dozens of restaurants, galleries, museums, and tourist attractions. The owner was very easy to with. We hope to return next year for a month.

FABULOUS LOCATION AND GREAT ACCOMMODATION!!!

Submitted: March 27, 2011 Stayed: March 2011
We went for a family wedding and the convenient location in the historic district allowed us to walk to 2 out of 3 functions. The condo itself is spacious and lovely with a great kitchen, lovely baths, pretty furnishings and everything you need including Wifi. There is a rooftop deck which offer fantastic views of the area. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend working with this owner who is efficient and gracious.
One hint: the entrance to the parking lot is off Cordova not St. George!

If you are looking for a very clean, spacious, well equipped, beautifully decorated, steps from the historic area condo in St. Augustine, then you need not search any further. Add the very accommodating owners and you understand why we are returning next year.
