Summer vacation 2024

We had an amazing time! We were so grateful to find a cute place on the beach that was pet friendly and affordable. We usually, have yo stay somewhere not so nice because we have a pet, but not ths time!! Our souls and bodies were truly refreshed after our time on Vilano Beach. We come back to St. Augustin every year and we would definitely stay at this beach house again.

Great location for a weekend getaway!

Great view of the ocean. Easy walk to the beach since the broad walk is literally in your backyard. It was big enough since it was just my husband and I. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable (which is hard to find a lot of the times) We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Perfect Get Away

Vilano Beach is a great little spot to get away for a few days, close to many historical sites and tourist attractions but still with a secluded feel. The home is a good size for a small family. It is well maintained with a fully equipped kitchen for those who want to cook their meals. We enjoyed dinner and the sunset on the river at Aunt Kate's one night and sunrise from the house the next morning. The ocean views from the living room and front deck are amazing! Perfect get away location.

6 out of 5 Stars

If I could give it 6 stars I would. First beach stay that met all my expectations. The triplex was in perfect condition. It is clear it has been updated and kept up. The location is second to none. All of the amenities included. Can't wait to book my next stay as well as the top unit for my entire family to come.

Great location

The location was really nice. It was beach front so we could walk down and enjoy the sun and waves with no trouble at all. The apartment itself was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The only downsides were no washer and dryer and being able to hear the upper floor residents walking around. On Saturday, there were tons of fishermen set up on the beach so we had to walk down a ways to find a spot they did not block. Other than those couple of things, our stay was very enjoyable and relaxing. Would stay there again for a short stay.

Perfect beach getaway!

The location and private walkway to the beach during the entire day was so amazing. So close to Publix. The beach wasn't really crowded at all, very peaceful and respectful. The house itself was very clean, accommodating, private for the most part. Minor things like the showerhead, door locks, appliance lights were a little frustrating but fixable. The hosts were very responsive, offered us suggestions prior to checking in to make our trip adventurous, and it was a very pleasant stay all together! Would highly recommend to anybody wanting to stay on the beach amd not have to drive somewhere with hard to park areas!!! Thank you so much for our stay!

Great vacation!

This is one of our favorite beach vacation spots! The small fenced in area for the dog is really convenient, very dog friend beach, everyone we met was nice and dogs were well behaved. This place was clean and is good condition. The bathroom sink water does smell a little like sulfur, but I grew up in Florida and that’s kind of normal. They have filtered water bottle in the fridge, and we bought some bottles of water as well. The washer and dryer are really nice to have. We had dry towels and bathing suits everyday. Shower right outside to rinse off your feet and beach gear! Over all I loved it and can’t wait to go back!

Simply Superb!

Wow, this is a great stay! The unit is in a great location. You can literally walk to Publix via the beach and restock with very little effort. That is always a plus for our family when look for rental accommodations. No hotels beside the unit or close by, so traffic is not a problem. Need a restaurant close by? They have that piece covered as well. The Reef is most excellent and Kate’s is also great! Downtown St Augustine is just a hop, skip and jump away. The shoreline is so close you can literally reach out and touch it! We’ve stayed in other beach rentals that are on the “beach”, but you still have to a very deep shoreline that makes the daily setup a chore, but not this unit! We rent at least 2-3 beach rentals each year throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic and this unit and location has now become one of our top beach destinations!
