Seriously can’t rave more about this place. It is located in the cutest (and very safe feeling!) little beach neighborhood with some honestly gorgeous homes. The property looks exactly like the listing. There were three very clean bedrooms upstairs with two bathrooms, and one bedroom downstairs also with a full bath. The property outback was very well kept and the pool was great. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. The cleaning crew did a great job making sure the house was spotless before we arrived. There are two VRBO houses on either side of this property which were also hosting guests and utilizing their respective pools, which was nice as everyone was friendly and having a good time. Highly recommend! I will absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful home on Vilano beach

The home was beautiful with amenities as listed. Walks to the beach were beautiful. Having one bedroom downstairs for seniors would be great. The master bedroom was comfortable but the other beds were not so comfortable and creaked Everytime we tossed and turned. Overall good place at a good price.

Had a lovely time in this beautiful home! Minutes from downtown St. Augustine, easy walk to the beach…really could not have been in a better place! 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Over the long July 4th weekend we enjoyed a good family stay at the Vilano Beach Escape. The location in a peaceful neighborhood was great: close to the beach, St. Augustine, a Publix store, and several restaurants. We rented a golf cart, which made getting around fun and easy. We enjoyed the pool. Messages to the host and property manager were answered immediately. Many thanks!
