Staycation

Stayed here for my wife’s birthday with some friends. The house was clean, easy to access, and close to a Publix which makes it very convenient. Also just a quick 10 minute drive to downtown St. Augustine. Overall great experience and a fantastic beach house!

Beautiful location

This house has the best porch over looking the beach, which is also gated and perfect for little kids and puppies. If is too hot, there is a great view of the beach from the back windows as well. My family and I had a great time at this beach house and would definitely stay again.

Ultimate Beach Experience

Beautiful, open concept home, perfect for our family! Right on the beach, which is a necessity with small children. Publix just 0.5 miles away, and downtown St. Augustine 2 miles away. The windows provided 360 view of the beach! We will be back!

New Years Trip

I absolutely love this property!! The location. The view. Everything about it was spectacular!! The only thing I would say that could be better is the carpet. It could be cleaner. But with that being said, I would definitely stay at this property again!! Thank you management for making it is so easy and so enjoyable!!

Coming back next year

What a wonderful stay here. The home has all you need. The access to the amazing beach is priceless. Walking to the small town center is easy and the beach beats anything we saw on the Gulf Side. While there are many homes rent on Vilano, buyer beware, some are very far north and not walkable to anything. Others, while also on the beach, might not be high enough and so your view is blocked by the sand dunes. The views from Surfside C are amazing. Photo are very accurate. There are a surprisingly number of restaurants on Vilano Beach too. And St. Augustine proper, with all the history and restaurants is a 10 minute drive, give or take. The location really cannot be beat. Excited to come back next year!
