Publix grocery store and several restaurants within walking distance. Vilano Beach Pier 0.5 Miles. Nature walk across the street. When staying on Vilano beach this beach house has the shortest drive time to get to historic St. Augustine.
We heat the pool October - April. As long as the temperature stays above 63 degrees we can keep the pool at 85 degrees. If the temperature drops below 63 degrees the pool temperature will drop proportionately.
There are two security cameras on the property. One is on the south-west corner of the property outside facing the driveway. The other is monitoring the garage. The garage is locked and off limits to guests.
Very close walk to the beautiful beach and short ride to historic downtown! Having Publix in walking distance was a plus! There was a cute restaurant with live music close by as well! We unfortunately had some rainy weather but still enjoyed our time.
Check in was easy. Great communication from the owner. Beds were comfortable.The kitchen has everything you need to cook. Beautiful pool with easy access to the beach. I would recommend this house.
we had the best stay - the listing was exactly as described yet somehow even better in person. proximity to the beach, the grocery store and dining options were all super close and convenient. communication with the owner couldnât have been better - I think the longest I waited for a response from pre-booking to check out was 30-seconds. perfect location, perfect house for our family, perfect getaway. 10 out 10 would definitely recommend.
We had so much fun on our trip due to the ease of access to this rental. Our kiddos enjoyed the pool and the beach. The house was perfect for our group!
We had an amazing time this year and this house was good choice. John was super communicative and the place was clean and well stocked. The location was perfect! The beach was quaint and beautiful. The Publix was across the street, as well as a lovely restaurant, a couple bars and coffee places. Everything within walking distance. We arrived a bit early and so happy that John had provided a picture as this house is right at the light. The cleaning crew was there and very pleasant. We unloaded our things on the porch and hung by the pool while they finished up. The house has three levels which I think is important to note, somehow we missed that part. One bedroom at the bottom with a full bath and laundry. The second floor had two bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen and a patio and the third floor had a tiny vertical ladder to get to the bed and fouton. We are ladies in our 50's. That third level was not much used as we were afraid of breaking our neck and both of the mattresses were quite thin. The pool area had a ton of room to spread out and the pool was ready for use. One thing to note is there is not any shade and the high top chairs are in need of repair. We brought our pop up tent for the beach and it worked well at the pool as well. One night there was a thunderstorm and we would have loved to stay outside but there is no covered area. The bottom level is semi covered by a porch above, but it is slatted so rain come in. All in all it was a great time!
We had an awesome stay and it was conveniently located to the beach and Publix and restaurants. Everyone LOVED the big pool with lots of pool toys. Excellent accommodations! Our youngest was 15 and oldest was 85!
We enjoyed our time in Vilano. The house was comfortable but had some minor issues (no water pressure in the showers, fridge water dispenser didnât work properly, no kitchen table, way more stairs than I realized which isnât ideal for young/small kids, badly stained beach and bath towels. The shed with beach/pool toys was a bit chaotic and disorganized and we saw a couple mice/rats hanging out in there). The location was great for the adults but still a little ways away if youâre traveling with little kids or lots of stuff to bring to the beach. The pool was definitely the best part of this home! The water was warm and it was so spacious.
Great location on a great beach. Publix is across the street. Very short walk to the white sand beach. We enjoyed the pool in the afternoons. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed.
Great house with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Loved the open kitchen and living space. Steps to restaurants grocery store and beach. Absolutely beautiful pool and the fire pit was a plus! Highly recommend.
Loved our stay. The pool area was incredible and such a convenient location with the beach just a short walk away(my 2 year old did it twice a day no issues!) plus having the Publix across the street is a big help. The drive to downtown st Augustine was less than 10 minutes and could walk to the fishing pier with a view of downtown. Would 10/10 stay again.
This property was everything we wanted & more! It is in the perfect location. My group did not have a car, so the Publix and other restaurants across the street were amazing! The Uber into town was only 10-15 minutes, too. Also, the beach was not crowded and it was so clean! The host is also very responsive and friendly. Everyone in my group could not stop raving about the house. Thanks again, John!
Overall impression is that the property interior is very nice and clean. We used the provided laundry and had no issues using WiFi. Found walk to beach is short and not having to cross a busy street is very convenient.
My family and I enjoyed our stay! The house with a pool in the back yard and a 5 minute walk to the beach was great. The house is just like the pictures and contact with the owner was easy.
The pull out bed in the downstairs bedroom needs to be replaced immediately! It CAN NOT be used!!! You will fall through. Donât count that in your sleep count.
The only thing I did NOT likeâŠ.we had to take the garbage cans to the road for pick up and bring them back to the house.
Property was exactly what it said it would be. Owner was very responsive to any questions that occured. We had plenty of room and dis not feel like we were on top of each other. We had so much fun. All the extras in shed were a great bonus we had chairs for the beach and things to do to entertain us. We played horeshoes, had a fire, and just a great vacation. I would rebook this again for another vacation. 10 oit of 10!r
I was a little worried at first because of the proximity to the main road, but it was never an issue. Walk to the beach was short and pool was fabulous. We even walked to the Publix for necessities. There is a nature walk across the street that goes under the bridge. We enjoyed looking for crabs there. Great location. Kids really loved the loft. I would love to go back again.
This house had everything you could ever need. The whole property was just amazing. Check in was super easy which was helpful also. If youâre thinking about going, just go ahead and book it! You wonât regret it. Thank you for the wonderful family vacation!
Went with 4 adults and 2 kids - the pool was beautiful surrounded by lovely landscaping, perfect temp for swimming.
Beach was a short walk away and not a crowded section due to houses all around - hotels a few blocks away.
Short (less than 10 min) drive to gorgeous downtown area.
Host very nice and responsive - very organized and house and property very well cared for. Would definitely go here again!
Beautiful property, not right on the beach but within very short walking distance. If the kids weren't at the beach they were in the pool. Easy check in/ out process.
