The dogs loved it, the kids loved it, I loved it. Genuinely a wonderful place to stay. Wonderful communication with rapid turn around for requests (our pool had some leaves at the bottom would couldn’t quite get, and the pool guy came within a few hours of us receiving a message saying he would likely not be able to come until the next day). A truly wonderful, stress-free experience. ##### Crystal A. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gretchen G. May 23, 2024 #### Great stay!

Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vilano Beach Newbies This was our first trip to Vilano Beach. David, the house owner was very responsive to every question and need of ours. He even let us in the house 2 hours early! Andy, his property manager, was also very responsive. The street the house is on is very safe and quiet. Because it dead-ends at A1A, suggest you go over 2 blocks to 23rd street where there is a beach access and places next to the street to park your car or golf cart directly across from the beach access. The heated pool was great. The only suggestion for improvement would be to provide shade umbrellas for the back patio around the pool. The backyard faces north and gets sun most of the day. ##### Steve M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin M. Aug 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home This home was exactly as described in the listing. It was bigger/more spacious than expected. It was a 10 minute walk (max) to the beach, and the street was secluded enough to be quiet at night (great for small kids / fur babies ... no traffic!). The owner was great - we didn't have any issues, but their communication before, during, after was fantastic - very welcoming. They also gave great recommendations for local attractions / places to eat. Check-in and out process was a breeze. ##### Justin M.

Jun 14, 2024 #### Cozy Home Beautiful home with plenty of space and the pool was nice. Perfect kid friendly home with the bunk beds downstairs and a restroom downstairs for the kids to avoid having to go up and down too much. The ocean was just a few blocks away and you can either cross the street directly to steps to the beach or you can drive a block over and take a bridge over to avoid traffic. Renter was very attentive to any questions I had and was very easy to work with. ##### Angela Y. ### 8/10 Good #### Autumn M. Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy spot, quiet neighborhood Overall this home was fantastic! The pool addition was a first for us and we are forever ruined in a good way to have one at every beach vacation. Owners were mostly prompt in their communication and definitely helpful and friendly. There was a delay in check in details, but VRBO was helpful to put us in touch with owner directly. A few things to note: downstairs railway room with bunks, the door slides on wheels and doesn’t provide a seal so light/noise are easily heard. If it’s for kids who don’t need full privacy or for people who sleep heavy this is not problem. I believe the listing mentioned being close to beach and river side, which it is wonderfully located to beach with just a few blocks walk! Or a city park 1 block further with a sky bridge. However, the River access point is narrow and hits a private property so really you can go down to a bench to see sunset and scramble on rocks to access riverside when tide is out. This is a bummer as we may have stayed south of st. Augustine to allow for both and inland and a beach side access point in the event the waves were too big for our kids. This was the case for us later in the week when surf was high and there was a red flag warning. We ended up driving 30 minutes down to Mantzas river opening and swimming in the calm waters there. However, there were still people on beach in the water so if you are confident in swimming and have older children, this would also not be an issue. Overall, this home suited our needs. ##### Autumn M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia W.

Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had such an amazing stay at the Sunset & Sand Retreat! My husband, our son & his wife & our neighbors turned family, all had plenty of room & enjoyed all the amenities along with the pool & beach within walking distance, in between the wedding festivities! The location is quiet and peaceful, but still close to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing vacation home! Already looking forward to returning! ![Beach walk](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c9066f8-8311-4a22-a537-dc9a2442f2c7-1758562112159.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/66ff4336-abcd-4acf-965e-ca552f44ab58-1758562317872.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Historic Hotel Ponce de Leon](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2d093f60-1e93-4805-b5d0-112f742ea479-1758562378453.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The Flamingo Coffee Roastery Bar ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/00605656-6814-43bb-b00d-c886af30c444-1758562492045.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa S.
