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.

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!
