This house is in a perfect location on the beach and is close to everything but it needs significant maintenance. We rented it several years ago and had no issues but it has been seriously neglected. I have submitted a list of problems to Vacasa and the owners. Before considering this rental, I would strongly recommend you speak to a Vacasa representative to find out if these problems have been addressed or, if possible, arrange for a site visit. Many of the issues are functional and will impact your stay....such as the grills are so rusted and dirty they are not usable. The washing machine lid is loose and shedding rust chips. The dishwasher racks are rusted and peeling with pins missing. The bathrooms repeatedly lost electricity.

Great Location, But...
This was a family Xmas beach trip. The location was great, with access directly to the beach via a boardwalk, deck, and stairs. A supermarket was very close and St. Augustine was a short drive away. We rented both the upper and lower units. The lower unit was only accessible to the upper unit through the smaller bedroom unless you went outdoors. A large inconvenience, especially for the bedroom's occupants. Some things were in need of repair: a rail on a small upper unit balcony was pulled away from the building; the sliding closet door in the small lower bedroom was broken; a window blind in the upper dining area had been repaired with ribbons and a clothespin. The upper unit dishwasher never worked. After reporting it I was told it would be handled, but since it was Xmas weekend it wasn't. Since we had the lower unit we shuttled dishes up and down the stairs. Then the microwave in the upper unit stopped working the day after Xmas. More shuttles ensued. The upper unit had a table large enough for the 8 of us, and we enjoyed our stay in St. Augustine, but this unit needs a good general going through to make it a good choice, if you can handle the lower/upper accessibility issue.
Property could use a little elbow grease and some maintenance. The air vents had black dust or mold all around them and onto the ceiling. Made a few of us ill. I couldnât stay another day. Eyes where burning and had a cough and soar throat. Got better the day we left.
We loved being right on the beach! We had a group of 10 and all slept comfortably. We would love to vacation here again! St Augustine is a beautiful area.
This great home is right on Vilano Beach.
The deck was a perfect place to drink coffee and watch the waves in the morning as well as listen to the waves at night. Watch for the dolphins swimming in the area. đ The beach was expansive and very clean. Beach chairs and towels were provided along with an assortment of other beach necessities.
Not far to the Publix grocery and great pizza place. Clean and safe. I would definitely come back here again!
Our stay was very enjoyable with a beautiful ocean view. The top floor was spacious for my whole family to spread out and enjoy time together playing games, puzzles, and watching movies/shows. We had thanksgiving, and the kitchens were equipped with pretty much all we needed. The house is outdated and could use some simple changes to make the rental experience a bit more enjoyable but overall the hygiene and function was good. Some light bulbs could be replaced and lamp shades, and the upstairs carpet is older. When we first arrived we have to air out the property with ocean beeeze due to musty/older smell but after that is was great. Same thing with the sulfur water- just had to run it for awhile and it was then okay.
We rented the full house for our 2 families of 4 - it was well suited to 8 people with outstanding direct beach access. The house was build in 1978 and is dated but well equipped with furniture and dishes, etc. Beds were comfortable and the entire house was clean. We would have appreciated garbage bags and ice cube trays. The water has a strong rotten egg smell (sulfur?) which seemed to be the norm throughout St. Augustine. Plan on buying all drinking/ cooking water. The AC worked very well and was greatly needed.
I rented the whole house the top floor water was so bad it smelled so bad we could t use it
Eight of us had to use one bathroom downstairs which was hard . Would never stay there again
We enjoyed being right here on the beach!! Biggest selling point for us. Close to everything we wanted to do.
Everyone at Vacasa replied to our questions quickly and even came to the house to help us when we needed them (nothing major just needed a key because we rented both stories of the house and needed the interior door opened)
Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
Both the top and bottom units are very nice and were extremely clean when we arrived. The beach access is amazing. Fully equipped with most everything you will need.....including beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys. We would definitely stay again!
