Walk directly out your back door down the dune to the beach. A short 10 minute drive from historic Saint Augustine, and only five minutes to Vilano Beach with a full service Publix and several great restaurants. Or if you don't want to drive, just walk 1/4 mile up the beach to the Reef restaurant or across the street to Cap's on the intercoastal waterway. This 3-bed, 3-bathroom beach house for up to 8 guests is a perfect family home. Ideal for a group or two families traveling together. The ground floor bedroom in Casa Pelicanos is like a separate guest suite. It features its own kitchenette, private living area with its own 50” HDTV (Roku, BluRay/DVD players) and a comfy queen bed for two. Whether two people in your group like to sleep late, or you have older parents with a slightly different itinerary, this is a fantastic two-for-one vacation rental. On the patio outside the ground floor you'll find a barbeque for cooking the fresh fish from the ocean fish you can catch yourself right in back of the house on the beach or buy locally. The backyard sitting area, flows directly out on to the dune and down to the beach. Upstairs, the living room is on the second level (so you get even better ocean views). All new elegant rattan furniture with a unique twist, with matching dining, lounge and entertainment areas combined in an open plan. Soaring ceilings with new leaf style fans. There's of course free wireless Internet throughout, and another 50" HDTV. The dining area flows into the kitchen. The kitchen is a large gourmet kitchen with up close ocean view, enclosed laundry, and walk-in pantry - stocked with all the appliances, cooking equipment, silverware, plates, dishes, cups etc that you'll ever need. A breakfast bar has for barstools, just above a huge stretch of kitchen countertop. The U-shaped kitchen is spacious: just remember to glance up at the ocean view as you move easily between fridge, oven and dishwasher. A washer and dryer are also included (we're guessing you'll use a lot of beach towels and we've stocked those for you too) The second floor also features a bedroom with two twin beds. Between the bedroom and kitchen is a newly remodeled bathroom, with elegant shower, leopard color basin sink, lighted mirror, and bidet toilet. A wraparound deck and 40 feet of windows looking right at the beach will mesmerize you. Outside on the main deck there are sturdy yet comfortable patio furniture, an outdoor dining table. Upstairs, the master bedroom continues the soothing beach palette. On the third floor you get an even better view of the ocean below. A private balcony gives you a sunrise all to yourself (or you might lazily enjoy it through the window from bed). The master bathroom is newly remodeled with stunning onyx blue tile, dual showers with side squirters and wands, blue basin sinks, lighted mirrors, and a bidet toilet. All together the three bedrooms have a king bed in the master bedroom, queen on the ground floor, and two twins (plus an extra sleeper sofa in the loft area outside the mater bedroom, should you need it). Casa Pelicanos is on a quiet stretch of the scenic highway A1A so you can head north up the gorgeous coast to Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra or south to St. Augustine, charming Flagler Beach and onward to popular Daytona. But you won't find a better beach anywhere. Just bring your sunscreen and enjoy! All amenities and nice vacation-extras are within minutes. Charming Vilano beach has a Publix, restaurants and shops. Want to have your cake and eat it too? It's just 104 miles to Disney World. You can get up, enjoy the ocean sunrise, have a family breakfast and still make it to Orlando before Magic Kingdom opens. Your time at Casa Pelicanos promises to be a vacation of incomparable quality. Update December 2024 The dune and beach was restored by the US Army Corps of Engineers in Sept of 2023, so the dune and beach are big. The house was freshly painted inside and out, also in Sept 2023. After that, in 2024, we remodeled the middle and master bathrooms, with delightful results. We also replaced all the furniture on the main level with a unique and beautiful collection of rattan called The New Twist. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table - Wet bar ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 private bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Cobblestone flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, books, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57550000/57548400/57548326/8c2182d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront Parardise!

Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location House location is perfect on the beach with very few people. The house definitely needs to be deeper cleaned, especially kitchen and HVAC vents. The kitchen could use some nicer and additional dishes/utensils for guests who cook. Overall the house needs to be updated, exterior needs cleaned up, it's very dated and wall facing ocean needs some attention. Rust coming from outlets is not a good sign. Owner was very helpful with dishwasher not working and faucets not working properly. Thank you! Stove is missing a control knob, so only 3 burners are useable. Location, location, location!!!

Super nice view of the ocean from inside the house, and bedrooms on east side of house. Street noise was loud for those on the west side of the house. Great kitchen. Living room furniture and kitchen chairs could use a little loving. Run the dehumidifier and the house felt dryer inside and not as musty.

The property manager was equally accessible, my only question was what they wanted to us to do when we left. We appreciated not having to purchase conveniences like dishwasher soap as we have in the past at other properties. I got up early to watch the sunrise every day, such a special treat.

May 24, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Very disappointed I have been renting in Vilano beach for over ten years and have never left a bad review but I think people should be aware of the problems with this house. First…it smells bad throughout. Kind of a sour musty old smell. There is not enough flatware, dishes, utensils or serving dishes. The kitchen pantry had multiple brooms and cleaning supplies (toxic) just thrown in where there was food. The closet on the ground floor was filled with a mess of mops,brooms, buckets and cleaning supplies just thrown in haphazardly making access to the towels difficult. The towels felt damp and smelled musty I spent an hour straightening it up . . The closet in the second floor bedroom was again stuffed with numerous containers as well as baby items thrown in on top of each other. The “in-law suite” on the ground floor is old, damp and smelly …the whole area is uninviting. The master bedroom is spacious but the rug is stained, the furniture old and worn. The bed sheets were ill fitting and cheap. The grill was broken, gross and unusable. There were no adult beach chairs, no working umbrella. There were left over building supplies scattered near the patio and on the side of the house. There were uneven blocks laid piecemeal that comprised the patio. The entire place seemed as though they had just thrown it together . . Oh another rather peculiar thing… the floors always feel sandy and gritty. …no matter how much you rinse before coming in, due to the lack of good rugs ##### Midge W. Stayed 21 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Amber C. Nov 3, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Terribly disappointed and upset. Not even worth delving into all the detail, as I numerous poor reviews have already done. I unfortunately missed them by trusting the verified host and 4.7 star review. Please listen to all of the reviews about cleanliness. Entire property was misleading for more reasons than just that. Ended up having to stay somewhere else as a result. I really don’t have much more I want to say, the host will be writing a bad review in response to this as they’ve already informed me. I’m not some property witch-hunter, not out to ruin reputations, I only know what I could see first-hand. I was just trying to enjoy a vacation with my family and was hardly able to. Just use this as a sign to take bad reviews into account as well as the good. ##### Amber C. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### james w. Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Summer vacation 2023 First of all I would like to start by saying, we vacation every year, for last seven years in Vilano. We always rent a house on the beach. The house itself and location are Great! It could have been a little cleaner. There was sand on the living room furniture, the twin beds on 2nd floor were very poorly made to the point of wondering how clean they were. Bed spreads definitely need washing or replacing. Sand was on the floors of every floor. The porches and railings are infested with spiders. Place just needs a good ol fashion cleaning. I am usually not so critical, but the property was empty for two days before we arrived. With that being said, we asked about an earlier check in time other than 5pm. I was told "if there not any vehicles in the driveway the cleaning people are gone." We could've checked in at noon. When we checked out at 10am, the cleaning guy was already there. Bottom line is property owner could be a little bit more involved. Location is great! We did have a good vacation, but will not book this property again. ##### james w. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Mar 23, 2021 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Extremely Dirty We communicated extensively with the owner prior to booking to get confirmation on the cleanliness of the house because I suffer from asthma and the insisted the house was spotless, we arrived at the house around 7 PM with our two young children to find the house in a deplorable condition. There is mold on the counters and on the floor, dead bugs on the floor, sheets smelled really bad and had dirt all over them, old food was sitting on the fire extinguishers, chair covers were extensively stained, the fabric sofa stank of cigarette etc. We called the owner to share this information and inquire if their housekeeper can return only to be met with a very antagonist owner at the other end of the phone. They were extremely upset that we were calling to tell them this and they started to use profanity and insisted we get out of the house immediately. We feared for our safety. We had no where to go at that time and told them we would leave first thing the next morning. Which we did and stayed at a resort. They did agree to issues a full refund and they did. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2021 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan B. May 8, 2015 #### Spring Break 2015 We had an awesome time at the yellow house on the beach! The absolute best part was the view! Your backyard was the ocean, and the layout of the house was perfect for enjoying the view as much as possible. It was great for two families with teenagers and young children. You could have privacy, if desired, or plenty of room to hang out together. The kitchen is a good size with plenty of space for everyone to eat. Most of the days we basically set up camp on the beach and spent hours just enjoying the view. The teenagers tried out surfing for the first time and the younger one chased birds and built sand castles. The house is located a short distance to Publix and several restaurants. Caps was a favorite. It's a great place to watch the sunset, but go early because its gets very crowded. Also, St. Augustine Beach is not too far and is a good place to explore. Two good restaurants are Salt Life Food Shack and Sunset Grille. Kelly and Janel were very accessible and made booking the house extremely easy. We had a couple questions after we arrived and there was no problem getting in touch with them. We were also able to check in a little early, which made everyone happy after the drive from Atlanta. We all had a great time at the yellow house. Our five year old said it was the best vacation ever! We are planning on going back as soon as possible. We would certainly recommend this house to friends and family. ##### Susan B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
