Vilano Beach

The home was beautiful and everything advertised. Hurricane Milton delayed my booking by one day. The island had Wi-Fi issues for most of the stay. All these things were storm related. The host Chip and Cindy did all they could to make our stay enjoyable.

Little slice of heaven on the beach!

This was our second time booking this fabulous place (and won’t be our last). Sunrise on the porch, walks on the beach, afternoon in the shade on the porch and end the day with a cocktail on the porch…..doesn’t get any better!! Close to wonderful seafood restaurants, short drive to downtown St. Augustine, and can almost walk to the grocery store. Absolutely wonderful!

Girls getaway

Great location and the beach privacy was perfect for us. The property is really cute and the owners were great, they checked in on us several times to make sure we were comfortable and if we needed anything. Views and location amazing and perfect. Tons of restaurants close by.

Beach Paradise!

We stayed five nights at this wonderful beach paradise and loved every minute of it! The proximity to the beach is what drew us there, and you can't get any closer than we were. The unit is super clean and comfortable. The owners were amazing to work with and available by phone immediately if we had any questions or concerns. Would recommend 100% if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, relaxing and beautiful getaway to the beach! Terri & Brett Indiana

Wonderful vacation

For us what the perfect getaway, the ocean is feet away and the ambiance is wonderful. Saint Augustine has plenty of history behind that needs to be discovered, plenty of restaurants and places. We gave 4 starts because of the overall cleanliness, the fact that the parking is on sand and a bit inconvenient, most of the similar properties around have the parking paved.

The house was perfect. Right on the beach. Any closer and you would be in the ocean! The view was outstanding. The beach was great- not crowded. Soft sand, warm waters. The house was super clean and tidy. Perfect for the two of us. Close to our favorite restaurant. We had a very relaxing week. Thank you.

Gorgeous

This property is so perfect for a little beach getaway. A little pricey, sure, but most things on here are now... RIGHT on the beach. Perfect amenities, laundry, in/out showers, adequate kitchen, great TV (bad sound but whatever), comfy bed, sliding doors that open onto the deck from bedroom and living room, super close to town and grocery, liquor, restaurants, etc... a really (relatively) secluded and empty spot on the shore, even in the summer... so much space to yourself... it is BEAUTIFUL. Host is communicative and helpful. Some slightly stringent rules given the price - we were messaged about leaving the sliding doors open too much (apparently they're monitored), which is basically irresistible given the location, and then charged $50 for bug cleaning. C'est la vie. Cindy is really kind and we felt welcome in general. Just a stunning location with a perfect little cottage on it. Thank you!

We love staying here when not busy working. This second home is just a short distance from where we live in Jacksonville but feels like a world away when we are sitting on the back deck!

Why they chose this property

No long walks to get to the beach. You are ON IT! Your deck is right there. No views are blocked! Enjoy your stay at our recently remodeled home away from home. We look forward to making your getaway as enjoyable as possible.

What makes this property unique

Close to town and everything you need yet still private and serene listening to the waves and seagulls. Lots of personal touches in this home make it more special for your time away.
