About this property

Casa Vilano~steps to the beach, pet + family friendly, fenced yard, heated pool!

Indulge in the ultimate seaside escape at Casa Vilano, where every member of your family, including your beloved furry friends, is welcome! A newly constructed, three story upscale private home on Coastal Highway in a cul-de-sac with a large heated pool. Fall asleep in the moon light reflected off of the ocean and wake up and check the surf from bed. This four bedroom / four bath has incredible ocean views from the three bedrooms on the third floor and a poolside master bedroom on the first floor. There is a large heated pool with a sun shelf. Pool measures about 14' by 28' with a 6' sun shelf and a 5' deep end with a bench. There brand new heat pump and very nice outdoor shower.Family & pet friendly home steps to the ocean, two blocks to overpass beach cross walk and playground. Only 1/2 mile to closest boat ramp, beach access just across A1A, 1.8 miles to Publix at Vilano Beach Town Center, 3 miles to Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor marina and boat ramp & just over the Bridge is downtown.500lb nugget Ice Maker in garage. 3 new beach cruisers. Stainless steel grill. Child safety gates are available. Fully stocked kitchen. Surf boards. Fun games. 3 brand new 2 ton AC/heaters. Accommodates at least 10. New 75” UHD 4K TV in living room and TVs in bedrooms.

There are stairs in the house so may not be suitable for everyone. Drone pictures were taken before pool and fence were added. The home sits on A1A so there may be some noise from the traffic especially during bike week, doesn’t bother us but full disclosure. Our road is very quite and safe but look twice before crossing A1A. This is a fast growing area so there may be some new home construction nearby. Caps on the Water, Aunt Kate’s and the Reef restaurant are all very close and you can ride bikes. Caps is the BEST restaurant in St. Augustine. Full disclose: The house isn’t ON the ocean it’s across the street/A1A. It is Florida, so there can be sharks, bugs, rodents, snakes & other wildlife outside. The beach here is susceptible to erosion, usually in the winter. Hurricane season is in August so that could be a draw back if your don’t surf. The beach on the intracoastal side can have a strong current. If you have any other questions please send us a message.

Great Time!

The location was perfect! The hosts thought of absolutely everything! Clean clean clean!!!! The amenities were great! Only thing that wasn’t perfect was the pool heater went out and a tech couldn’t get to property to fix it til after we left. Other than that couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay for our family vacation! Will be back next year!

All the comforts of home!

As others have said, we were very impressed with the amount of "little things" that made it feel like home. From K-cups, spices, and baking ingredients to beach items and TV apps, this place has you covered! We saved so many trips to the Publix (only 5 minutes away) because the place has so many of the little things in stock! Great location and views of the ocean! Great private pool and no complaints.

Great Property, steps to beach

This property was great for our family vacation! Came stocked with plenty of amenities to use, a variety of everyday kitchen items to use, plenty of space for the family to each have their own space, and great open living area/kitchen. Host responded quickly to anything I asked, there was a bit of a hiccup with check in and code not working, but confident that is replaced by now. Would definitely stay here again, excellent all around. Large back yard area, pool very nice and yard to play in with little kids. Highly recommend!

Perfect Beach House

Awesome place, highly recommend! The location is perfect. Across the street from the beach, and less than 10 minutes to downtown St Augustine. The house has everything you could need for a great beach getaway. The host was very responsive and accommodating leading up to and during our stay. She even sent us balloons as we were celebrating our daughter first birthday!

Amazing 4th of July!!

Casa Vilano is, without question, the best family beach house we’ve ever stayed at. Ashleigh was amazing to work with & the house is fully stocked with anything a big family may need. The fact that we could brings our dogs & feel welcomed was icing on the cake. Great memories made before my daughter heads to college. We will be back!

Best vacation house ever!

Casa Vilano was amazing! Perfect location with every amenity imaginable. Stocked kitchen, perfect fenced yard for our 2 dogs and a beautiful heated pool. The large ice maker was the best perk of all! Great layout for 2 families of 4. Teenagers loved all the streaming options as well. This oasis is the perfect location for a relaxing tropical way to spend spring break with our family and friends.

La Casa Vilano

The short walk to the beach, which was basically private, comes as advertised. If swimming, tanning, surfing, boogie boarding and fishing, 25 yards from your residence is something you would be interested in, this is the place! The open floor plan, balconies and views were amazing. Ashleigh and Jimmy were the most accommodating hosts I have engaged with on VRBO. The place is a Home Run!

Fabulous!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Casa Vilano! Four couples and two pups fit comfortably. The house has everything you need such as beach towels, beach chairs, surf boards, etc. We do a great deal of cooking and the kitchen is well equipped! The beds are also very comfortable. If I needed something, the owners got back to me promptly and were very kind. Definitely will stay again!

Best VRBO ever!

Fantastic property, incredibly well-stocked and appointed! Included everything you would need for a large family gathering and beach vacation. Beach toys, chairs, bikes, a kitchen, better stocked than most home kitchens! And the location was perfect! The sand and beach in this section of Vilano Beach is wonderful. No riptides, seaweed, kelp, or rocks! Just nice white powdery, sand and warm water. Can’t say enough great things about this property and location!

Perfect Beach House

As an extended family, we have been doing beach trips for 8 years. This house was our favorite. The open floor plan on the second floor was amazing with plenty of space and great views. The upstairs and downstairs bedrooms were spacious with firm king beds. The kids loved the pool and the beach access was so convenient. To top things off, our hosts stocked the house with plenty of amenities to make our stay exceed our expectations. We plan to book this house again.

Family Vaca at Casa Vilano

Casa Vilano was the perfect rental house for our family vacation! We stayed during the 4th of July week and you could see the St Augustine fireworks from the top balcony which was amazing! The house was equipped with everything you would need and more, we seriously should have just brought ourselves. The owners even left a fun gift basket with treats for our dogs and sparklers for the 4th of July holiday. Everything was so well thought out, and you can’t beat being right across the street from the beach!

Stunning Beach house

We spent 6 days at Casa Vilano over the NYE holiday. The location was perfect, so close to the beach. Amazing views from second and third floor. Impeccably decorated and well stocked kitchen and pantry. The hosts thought of everything- we especially appreciated small details like extra toothbrushes, hair ties and make up wipes, not to mention the holiday decorations! The mattresses were the most comfortable of any house we’ve ever rented. Excellent communication from the hosts with every question we had. Can’t recommend this house enough.

Perfect Place

My family and I had an amazing time here. Property is exactly as listed online. It was just my husband and our parents but this house is perfect for a family with kids. It's also nice, super clean, and very well stocked. There is a full-size ice machine in the garage which was nice because we never needed extra ice for coolers, a printer in the master upstairs that we ended up using for work, and the fact that it's dog friendly and the pool is heated is a plus. The kitchen is great for a crowd and we enjoyed making dinners each night and eatting in. Our family is already planning our next trip back!

Perfect Beach House!!

Casa Vilano was an amazing house for our family of 6 adults and 2 babies! The house was well stocked with EVERYTHING we needed and the close walk to the beach was great for quick trips with the babies! The backyard pool was so nice to come back to after a hot beach day, and the sun deck was the best play area for our toddler. All of the beds were comfortable, and the bedrooms were spacious enough for us to be able to spread out! Plus, who wouldn’t love the ice maker in the garage!! The kitchen and bathrooms included everything we needed for our stay, so we didn’t need to bring anything extra! We will definitely be back!

The Absolute Best!!

We just got back from spending a week at this property and I can't say enough about how perfect it was! We have two kids and it was so easy to go back and forth from beach to pool, to naps, making lunch, etc. The location is prime, the pool is great and the house is outfitted with everything you could ever need. Ever rent a house and think "darn, they could really use X here" ? Not this place! We absolutely enjoyed it and will be back the moment we have a chance to do so. Thank you!

Family Fall Gathering

This house and yard and pool were all as advertised. Our group of eight had plenty of room to congregate, move about, get cleaned up and sleep. We were pleased with the well appointed kitchen. Our lazy time in and out of the pool was wonderful. Since we had booked this house specifically for its quick and easy access to the beach, we were surprised and disappointed that a powerful storm had destroyed the beach the week before our stay. But we enjoyed the beach area to the north instead. The quiet community streets provided running and walking opportunities.

Spectacular home with everything you could possible need!

Casa Vilano was perfect! Ashleigh provided lovely personal touches for our visit--we felt very special. The location is really great, just across from the white sandy beach--it was almost deserted during the weekdays. We surfed on boogie boards every day and fished from the shore. We enjoyed the pool every day as well. The ocean views were great from the 2nd and 3rd floor, so relaxing. The 1st floor suite was perfect for my daughter, her husband and their 11 month old (and their dog). It had a wet bar/fridge with a coffee station right in the room, along with a pack n play for napping. I would consider the kitchen a "cook's kitchen"- great for entertaining. We would book this beautiful property again in a heartbeat!

Perfect beach home

This home is probably one of the best (if not the best) that we’ve stayed in. Nicely stocked kitchen. The large ice machine in the garage is a fantastic addition, made filling coolers for the beach a breeze. Lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, and bikes there to use. The outside area of the house was awesome, great pool with an area for wading or putting in chairs to cool off. Lots of lounge chairs. The hammock was a nice touch. The views from all the decks was great. Even though it’s not immediately on the ocean, there were plenty of ocean views and was a super short and easy walk across the street. Loved that you are pet friendly! Our dogs enjoyed the yard and beach as much as we did! We will definitely stay again when we come back to the area.

Amazing home and location

This house is the most well equipped house I have ever stayed in. The kitchen had absolutely everything you need from dishes, pans, utensils, spices, oils, foils...the list goes on and on. The location is perfect. You can see the ocean from the house easily. Then it is just a short walk across the road to access the beach right by the house. The beach is beautiful. We really liked staying in Vilano Beach. It is close to St. Augestine, but not as busy. The house is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Great porches to relax on and enjoy the ocean view. The pool area is great. We loved that we could heat the pool! This house has everything you want in a beach home. The host was great with communication and we appreciated the welcome gifts which were such a thoughtful touch. Trust me you will not be disappointed if you rent this home.

Casa Vilano - Incredible!

My family (consisting of two daughters, their husbands, two grandsons, my husband and me) vacationed in St. Augustine last week. Casa Vilano could not have been more perfect! The photos did not do this beautiful property justice! This home has everything you would ever need; just pack your vacation clothes and a toothbrush......that is literally all you need. The hosts were communicative and available had we needed anything (which we didn't). Vilano Beach (right across A1A) is somewhat secluded, which we loved. This is a dog-friendly vacation home with installed gates to keep babies and dogs from the stairs. The pool area is to die for! Every. Single. Detail has been well-thought out for this home. We will definitely request to rent Casa Vilano should we vacation in St. Augustine in the future! CSnyder

About the host

Hosted by Ashleigh Arnold

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 plus two doodles. This is our home that we have listed on VRBO for you to use while we travel. Please take care of it :)

Why they chose this property

This property us unique among others at the beach. The beach houses in the area have small driveways right on A1A, Coastal Highway, which is very dangerous for kids and pets. We built on A1A but our driveway comes off of 22nd St. so we still have great ocean views with beach access but we don't have to worry about the traffic hazards.

What makes this property unique

The home features great ocean views, porch swings, large open kitchen, a nice sandy path to the beach with a luxurious heated pool.
