The Intra Coastal Waterway naturally divides the mainland from the barrier islands with miles of gorgeous coastline. Vilano Beach is a locals "best-kept secret" offering a wide variety of waterfront restaurants, several within walking distance from our spacious home. The Vilano Beach Fishing Pier, para-sailing and Sea Doo rentals and city several parks are also in close proximity to the house. You can charter a deep sea fishing boat or a sailboat from this area. Vehicles are permitted on the beach within designated areas. For our boaters, multiple public boat ramps are also nearby. Our unique home with its deep driveway is a perfect place for those who might trailer their boat from out of town. The Sunshine House, offered by the Addison's & Kenner's, is only a 1.5 minute walk to the beach (thru county maintained private beach access) and 8 min's from downtown Historic St Augustine and all the best kept secrets of Vilano Beach has to offer.

Solid 5 stars *****

Our stay at this VRBO was absolutely fantastic! The house and property was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway for our family of 5: 2 adults and 3 teens. Plenty of space for everyone! We especially loved the cozy front patio, which was ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The location was perfect...steps from the beach and an easy 10-min drive to downtown St Augustine! Communication with the host Judy was smooth and pleasant; she was super responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend. Thank you very much!

Amazing beach getaway

We loved this property! The house is perfect and right across the street from the beach access that leads to the beautiful Vilano beach. It truly is a hidden gem that I don’t want to tell anyone about so I can have it all for myself! We hope to visit again soon.

Loved it

This home was very clean, comfortable, welcoming and accommodating for our family of 8. Everything we needed to enjoy the home and beach was available. Our host Judy was available and responded quickly to our questions. We fell in love with the house and the location was perfect. Beautiful quiet beach across the road, St. Augustine a few miles away, lots of great restaurants and shopping nearby, everything we look for right there. I wouldn’t hesitate to return, loved everything about it.

Lovely home close to beach

My immediate family stayed at this home for two nights while meeting extended family in area for my mother (and fathers’s) celebration of life. The home had everything we needed including a high chair, kitchen items, and beach towels (though we didn’t need them since we packed our own). The long driveway was very helpful as we came in different cars and you cannot park on the street. We are considering returning next year to make this an annual event and I would definitely consider staying again. Lovely home and very easy to access beach access. With an infant grandson that was very helpful. Thank you for your graciousness.

Gramma O'Brien's Family Beach Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. With 10 of us there were plenty of bedrooms for everyone to have personal space. The kitchen was spacious so we could prepare and serve meals easily. The beach was so close with so few people that the children had so much open area to run and not bother others.Thank you for letting us use your wonderful beach house.

This house was everything we needed, with plenty of space and bathrooms, and was very clean. The host was quick to respond to any questions as well. The best part is that it is only a 30 second walk to the beach and the beach was never crowded. Great stay!

Great Place

This was a wonderful house, true to listing within 500 feet of the beach and only 5 miles from downtown St.Augustine. our host Judy was super helpful and easy to communicate with. This is a great family oriented area with a lot of beach items (chairs, unbrellas, boogie boards, even a wagon) provided. I would absolutely stay here again.

Family beach vacation

The house was very nice. They had enough beach chairs and towels so we didn’t really need to use ours. We did have an issue, but the host responded quickly and the issue was able to be resolved quickly. Very short walk to the beach, which was good with having a 5 year old.
