Great location and the beach privacy was perfect for us. The property is really cute and the owners were great, they checked in on us several times to make sure we were comfortable and if we needed anything. Views and location amazing and perfect. Tons of restaurants close by.

Beautiful home on a beautiful beach!

First time in Vilano/St Augustine, we were shocked how peaceful and empty our beach was! So many shells and awesome sunrise views. Not to mention all the wonderful history of the area. We had everything we needed and more in the home. We would DEFINATELY stay here again. Friendly suggestion to owner, some sturdier steps down to the beach with a handrail would be helpful.

Great Stay!

Excellent beach property right on the water. Everything you need for a fun oceanfront stay. Vilano beach is a pretty place and wasn’t crowded at all. Close to St. Augustine and it’s attractions. House is really nicely decorated with comfortable beds and furniture. Great back deck. Owners were great with good communication. Wi-Fi worked well. Definitely recommend!

Beach Paradise!

We stayed five nights at this wonderful beach paradise and loved every minute of it! The proximity to the beach is what drew us there, and you can't get any closer than we were. The unit is super clean and comfortable. The owners were amazing to work with and available by phone immediately if we had any questions or concerns. Would recommend 100% if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, relaxing and beautiful getaway to the beach! Terri & Brett Indiana

Vilano Beach

The home was beautiful and everything advertised. Hurricane Milton delayed my booking by one day. The island had Wi-Fi issues for most of the stay. All these things were storm related. The host Chip and Cindy did all they could to make our stay enjoyable.

Amazing Getaway

My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend at this beautiful property. It was very clean, quiet and private. The beach is like nothing I've ever seen in Florida, there are no people around as is there is no public access. Waking up to the sunrise every morning and listening to the waves in the evening was just what we needed. Communication with Cindy was quick and easy. Can't recommend this beach house enough.

Beach stay heaven

This was our second stay at Chip and Cindy's lovely home. Just as last time, Cindy made the entire reservation process pleasant and easy. Anytime I sent a message, she was always quick to respond. Their home is the perfect place for a beach vacation. Right on the beach, which is private, so not crowded. Sitting on the deck, watching the waves, and enjoying the ocean breezes takes all stress away. Everything you need is right there. Our second visit, but hopefully not our last.

On The Beach!!!

My wife and I stayed at Chip and Cindy's cottage for 4 days at the end of October. This property really reflects pride of ownership; well maintained and super clean. The cottage is ON the beach! Sitting on the deck you feel as if you can dangle your feet in the surf. The kitchen was equipped with all the gear we needed and the proximity to Publix supermarket (3 minute drive) is quite convenient. Cindy was super responsive throughout booking and our stay. We shall return!

Just perfect

My husband and I booked this ocean front home for a relaxing getaway and could not have been more pleased. Everything was exactly as advertised and we were very comfortable. Check in/out was easy and it home was very clean. The king sized bed was so comfortable and I could hear the ocean waves outside. The only negative and it is not anyone's fault is you can hear the traffic noise going by constantly. There were also a lot of emergency sirens. This was a distraction but nothing more. The proximity to the beach more than made up for it. Beautiful sunrises and walks on the beach. Will not hesitate to stay here again if we are in the area.

Absolute perfect stay!

My mom and I had the most wonderful getaway at this beautiful oceanfront home on Vilano Beach. Waking up to the sunrise and enjoying our morning tea on the private deck was pure magic. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. The hosts were incredibly communicative and shared so many helpful tips for the area. We loved watching dolphins from the shore, exploring St. Augustine, taking a sunset cruise, and dining at Aunt Kate’s. Checkout was a breeze. Truly a perfect stay—we can’t wait to come back!

Vilano Beach Private Getaway

The place was adorable. The communication was top notch. The view is incredible. Located directly on the ocean with a nice large balcony. It was newly remodeled and very clean. It had everything we needed. The only negative was the bugs on the balcony. We were being eaten alive by something (no see em's maybe). The only time we could enjoy the balcony was if it was super windy. Bug spray did not help and covering up didn't help either. Not sure what the answer is but I just want to make it known because it dramatically affected our stay.

Beautiful beach location

This duplex rental is perfectly located on a beautiful white sand beach. It was so lovely to look at the ocean and listen to the pounding waves. The beach front was amazingly quiet with very few people on it despite the beautiful weather we had while we visited. Coming from New England, we found the water to be very warm and the entire beach environment was exceptionally clean. The rental unit was just as pictured and described in the listing. The kitchen is on the small side, but we were not cooking very much so it met our needs well enough. The bedrooms were comfortable, but the living room would benefit from one more comfortable chair as the rocking chair is a bit hard to sit on for more than a short while. The outside deck overlooking the ocean is fantastic and afforded good privacy from the other side of the duplex, even though no one else was there during our stay. Very nice updated furniture on the deck. This is a personal preference, but I would have liked to have had screens in the sliding doors to take full benefit of the fresh air, especially at night. Overall, it was a lovely stay, and the homeowners communicated with us very well.

Little slice of heaven on the beach!

This was our second time booking this fabulous place (and won’t be our last). Sunrise on the porch, walks on the beach, afternoon in the shade on the porch and end the day with a cocktail on the porch…..doesn’t get any better!! Close to wonderful seafood restaurants, short drive to downtown St. Augustine, and can almost walk to the grocery store. Absolutely wonderful!

About the host

Host profile image
We love staying here when not busy working. This second home is just a short distance from where we live in Jacksonville but feels like a world away when we are sitting on the back deck!

Why they chose this property

No long walks to get to the beach. You are ON IT! Your deck is right there. No views are blocked! Enjoy your stay at our recently remodeled home away from home. We look forward to making your getaway as enjoyable as possible.

What makes this property unique

Close to town and everything you need yet still private and serene listening to the waves and seagulls. Lots of personal touches in this home make it more special for your time away.
