THE SECRET GARDEN
Totally Renovated in 2017 the First Floor of the Lemon Guest House is the perfect Romantic Getaway. Check out the WALK THRU Videos under the Floor Plan Tab. It is the best way to get a feel of the house. Just use your mouse to walk thru. I think you will love it.
You will be greeted by Lovely cool White Marble Floors throughout and popular White Washed Ship Lap walls. It centers on one Large Central Greatroom, Kitchen, Dining area. There is a Leather Queen Sleeper Sofa for extra sleeping and a convenient Half Bath. Plus a New Large Smart TV with Wifi.
The Kitchen is one of a kind. Long story but short version I rescued it from my Tennessee homestead. Over 50 years ago my Father had these made from old Poplar wood he salvaged out of an Elementary school. The trees were extinct even at that time. It was a labor of love but they are beautiful. Hope you enjoy.
The Kitchen features Stainless Appliances. Marble and Handmade Butcher Block Counters. Farm Sink and Subway Tile. And comes fully stocked with all you will need to cook a gourmet meal.
You can dine at a lovely Spa Glass Table or Outdoor in the Garden under a covered Lanai.
The Bedroom is Giant with a King Bed & a Roll-out Single Trundle for "the Little Ones". There is another Smart TV with easy Netflix and YouTube access. Pack N Play also available.
Gorgeous twin Spa Glass doors lead to the Master Bath and a large walk-in closet with room for Pack n Play available upon request. Everything in the Bath is shining Glass and Marble. Marble Vanity with Double Sinks. Marble walls & Floor. Glass Shower with Hand Held Shower Head. I want you to enjoy "pampering" yourself.
My sons favorite is the Blue Nightlight/Bath Fan. One in the Half Bath too. What will they think of next?
A frosted mural door off the Master leads to the Secret Garden. Private. Relaxing. There is a Covered Lanai with outdoor Table and Grill. Both Gas (provided) or Charcoal. Plus a Sofa and Chair.
A Barn door (Also from my Tennessee home) leads from the Kitchen to the private Laundry.
NEED MORE SPACE
The upstairs is also available. Called the Palm View, it is a 3 Bedroom 2 Bath with its own Greatroom, Kitchen and outdoor Grill and seating. You can rent them both under the name Lemon Guesthouse.
PARKING
One designated parking spot in the alley. More space on Lemon Street with a lit paver patio along the Main House leading back to the Guesthouse.
LOCATION
We are located Downtown at 67 1/2 Lemon St only 5 miles to my favorite beach called St Augustine Beach just south of Anastasia Park over the Bridge of Lions. We provide Beach Chairs and Towels + Boogie Boards. Their is lots of parking & public restrooms + amazing Restaurants. There is a great Farmer Market on Wednesdays and in the Summer even FREE Wednesday night outdoor concerts. The sand is perfect for building Sand Castles. The waves are great for Surfing. We provide Boogie Boards or you can rent Surf Boards and take lessons or rent bikes at A Street.
But you will find so much to do Downtown you will probably only go to the Beach the first day. Downtown is a world all its own. Simply Charming. Especially at night with the lights twinkling and the sound of music filling the streets. Thousands come for the Festival of Lights (Mid Nov thru January). Great Restaurants. Great History. Great People. All walking distance from your door. What more do you want? Call for my list of Recommended THINGS TO DO and RESTAURANTS.
NEED EVEN MORE SPACE? Add the 2nd Floor called the Palm View with 3 Bedrooms 2 Baths or the Main House in front. It is 3 Bedroom 3 Bath located at 67 Lemon Street called the Lemon Retreat which sleeps 6. Or any of my 4 other Downtown homes or 5 Oceanfront homes. You can see them all at the links below. They are clustered together to accommodate large gatherings or wedding guests. Often the Husband's side can take one group of homes and wife's the other. Everyone is close but not too close. Just send my website to all your friends and guest and they can be sure they have booked near each other and the action. Makes choosing your Vacation Rental easy.

Perfect pet-friendly downtown place
Great place, walk to downtown. Quiet, very clean, perfect for two people, but will sleep four. Very friendly host, quickly responded to our inquiry, as this was a last minute stay. I would highly recommend this unit, and will stay here the next time we visit St. Augustine.

Loved our stay in St. Augustine
We are a family of four, 2 kids under 8 years and a small dog. First off, the owner was very responsive to our questions and very friendly. The kids loved sleeping on the pullout couch and had access to their own half bath which was nice. The rental looks just like the pictures and has a spa vibe which I really enjoyed (the marble is beautiful!) The king sized bed is very comfortable and I loved the little private covered patio accessed from the bedroom...awesome to sip coffee before the kids woke in the mornings. I didn't time it, but the walk to downtown area was probably about 10 minutes and we passed right by a large playground that the kids loved and we stopped at each day. Overall, this place is top notch in my book and we look forward to staying here again next year!

great location in Historic St Augustine
We love this location whenever we stay in St. Augustine. The bed, pillows, and very comforter- we slept well! The bathroom was large enough for both of us and the shower had good pressure. I did not like entering the house from the back alley and the covered parking was very narrow. WE would sty again-
