Right on the beach, two doors down from a great restaurant. The bay window in the amazing great room was also a fantastic plus for those hot mornings before the breeze picked up on the beach. We could enjoy our coffee and the view without having to be in the sweltering August heat. This house has 3 bedrooms, but it was just four adults. We kept the door to the primary closed off from the hallway to the other bedrooms and basically had a suite for one couple and the primary for the other. Never felt on top of each other. It was also perfect for our two small dogs. There is a small, public beach access nearby, but with only houses around and little public parking, it felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Cathy was super responsive whenever I reached out with a question. We'll definitely be visiting here again in the future! ##### Jane K.

Sep 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An Ideal Getaway This house has literally everything you need for a serene beach getaway. From cookware and cleaning supplies to linens and beach chairs, there wasn't a thing we needed that we couldn't find. There are even unexpected "extras" like a toolbox and scissors. If you're looking for seriously fancy, this probably isn't your rental. But if, like us, you're looking for a lovely, comfortable home on a prime stretch of quiet oceanfront property, you'll be in heaven. During our late August visit, the beach was often gloriously empty and always uncrowded. If we weren't on the beach, we lived in the rockers or lounge chairs on the massive deck. For you pet owners, there is ample space to set up crates or lay out dog beds, and extra sheets are provided specifically for covering the furniture, so no need to pack those as we did. The awesome deck is gated, so our pups could wander freely, and there's a lower spigot at the outdoor shower downstairs with a hose to clean up your salty, sandy pups. This is a phenomenal, comfortable, truly pet-friendly getaway! ##### Jennifer E. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacey L.

Easy drive to St Augustine . House is older, but nice deck and open concept living. The place was clean and no complaints. But should mention pets are allowed and one person in our party with pet allergies could not set on couch because of dog hairs on pillows on furniture from other renters. ##### Beth H.

It is literally right on the beach - you wake up every morning looking out from the master bedroom to see the sun rise over a beautiful and quiet beach! The open and comfortable design of the house suited us and our dogs beautifully. It is well-equipped with everything that you need to cook in, plus plenty of towels, linens and cleaning equipment to keep the home neat (and sand-free)! The large and spacious deck is fantastic!! We spent several afternoons out enjoying the warm weather and reading, with our dogs snoozing after their long walks on the beach! We enjoyed going into St. Augustine (a great walking town), and also found some great hiking trails at the local GTM Preserve. Cathy was a gem to work with - she was friendly and welcoming, checked in with us regularly and immediately responded to our questions. We highly recommend this wonderful get-away on Vilano Beach! ##### Linda C. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob G.

Seems dumb to give a great review for a place you'll continue to use. Increases competition and availability but that's what I'm doing. This stay makes our third visit. Many more to come we pray. Cathy, the owner, is wonderful too. You'll not regret staying here. ##### William B. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris P.

This beach house makes you feel like you're on the beach whether you're inside in the dining/living area or on the spacious deck! Property owners are very thoughtful with the amenities provided. Close to downtown St. Augustine and convenient to near by grocery store. We are definitely looking forward to our next family vacation here. ##### Chris P.

Aug 14, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location perfect- conditions mediocre Loved the location- bathrooms need to be gutted. Place needs to be deep cleaned- dead bugs in the bathroom lights. Makes me think Covid cleaning is non existent. Basic upgrades like towels that aren’t falling apart or stained- providing keurig pods- shampoo, soap, and conditioner… would have been nice (typical of all other places I’ve stayed). There is a floor lamp that is duct taped together. Not all lights have bulbs both interior and exterior. No tin foil, seran wrap or Tupperware if you are trying to cook in. Zero spices or oils. Interior needs to be painted in halls and doors need to be replaced. Outdoor furniture was great! Newly resided (hopeful it will be painted white or kept gray with a fun front door color). Wonderful new exterior windows and doors. Living room furniture, large table and kitchen are perfect for the beach. Loved the wood floors. If the owners would redo the master bathroom I would suggest putting a stackable washer and dryer where the tiny shower is and put a normal size tub/shower where the side by side washer/dryer currently are. I would rent again only after improvements are made- the price warrants basic upgrades and amenities. ##### Jennie H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug W.

Very open and we could walk to dining at The Reef and only needed a short drive to Publix and a little further to St. Augustine. We loved having our dog there. Having the deck facing the ocean was great for him and us. Would definitely want to stay here again! ##### Doug W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### charity l.

The location, view from the huge deck, & direct access to the beach is the best you could ask for. The house was very clean when we arrived & decorated beautifully throughout. There is every utensil & dish you could need in the kitchen, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, big closets in each bedroom, AND tons of beach chairs/floats/toys for our use. Below the house is the perfect place for outdoor games in the shade (or if it rains) or a nap in the hammock- the afternoon breeze is unbelievable. The beach is very wide & very unpopulated at this spot so there more than plenty of place for kids & dogs to run. Communication with the owner was amazing before & throughout our stay. Overall this house was everything we hoped + more. ##### charity l. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry P.

May 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Funky Beach Cottage The beachfront location is absolutely spectacular. Beach for miles and superb views from the main living area and master bedroom. The road is VERY busy and noisy, parking is limited for anything more than one large vehicle on the property, (public access area next door for additional options if needed.) The pictures are a bit outdated for the beach access due to recent beach and dune renourishment. There are no steps/seawall anymore, just a steep dune to descend and clamber back up. The house is funky and fun, the decor is excellent and the furniture modern and well-appointed. The kitchen is a bit outdated, could use a new stove and dishwasher, (suggestion only, not a complaint.) Well appointed with cooking utensils and dishes, glasses, etc. The bathrooms are also a bit outdated, but clean and serviceable. We enjoyed the sun deck which had a table, chairs, and a sun lounger. It was super hot the week we were there, appreciated the air conditioning! We enjoyed our stay very much and would return happily. Thank you for sharing your super cool beach cottage! ##### Mike M.

Apr 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home needs TLC Overall enjoyed our stay, charming and rustic home with amazing views... just a few things that would make it worth the price (better pillows on the beds; burners that work on the stove; more comfortable seating in the living room area; repair loose nails sticking out of boards on the deck; repair broken chaise lounge; and replace the coffee maker that was broken by a previous guest... we were told to use the Keurig but, Keurig pods are not environmentally friendly, so we went to Dollar General to get a normal coffee maker for the week). Other than those few issues, this was a lovely home and we enjoyed our stay overall. Thank you. ##### Jennifer T. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2021
