This four bedroom / four bath has incredible ocean views from the three bedrooms on the third floor and a poolside master bedroom on the first floor. There is a large heated pool with a sun shelf. Pool measures about 14' by 28' with a 6' sun shelf and a 5' deep end with a bench. There brand new heat pump and very nice outdoor shower.Family & pet friendly home steps to the ocean, two blocks to overpass beach cross walk and playground. Only 1/2 mile to closest boat ramp, beach access just across A1A, 1.8 miles to Publix at Vilano Beach Town Center, 3 miles to Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor marina and boat ramp & just over the Bridge is downtown.500lb nugget Ice Maker in garage. 3 new beach cruisers. Stainless steel grill. Child safety gates are available. Fully stocked kitchen. Surf boards. Fun games. 3 brand new 2 ton AC/heaters. Accommodates at least 10. New 75” UHD 4K TV in living room and TVs in bedrooms.
There are stairs in the house so may not be suitable for everyone. Drone pictures were taken before pool and fence were added. The home sits on A1A so there may be some noise from the traffic especially during bike week, doesn’t bother us but full disclosure. Our road is very quite and safe but look twice before crossing A1A. This is a fast growing area so there may be some new home construction nearby. Caps on the Water, Aunt Kate’s and the Reef restaurant are all very close and you can ride bikes. Caps is the BEST restaurant in St. Augustine. Full disclose: The house isn’t ON the ocean it’s across the street/A1A. It is Florida, so there can be sharks, bugs, rodents, snakes & other wildlife outside. The beach here is susceptible to erosion, usually in the winter. Hurricane season is in August so that could be a draw back if your don’t surf. The beach on the intracoastal side can have a strong current. If you have any other questions please send us a message.

This house and its location are heaven! So close to all of the fun things to do in St. Augustine while still being cozy and quiet! I definitely will be coming back!
Had a great trip. Everything mentioned in ad is pretty accurate. Great beach access, pool and home were terrific. Proximity to restaurants, grocery store, and downtown area was great.
The home was wonderful and the views of beach were amazing. The pool was very comfortable as well as the other amenities. I would highly recommend this property. Walking to the beach took only a few minutes. All family members indicated that this was the best vacation ever and wished we had booked more days.
The house was beautiful and kitchen was well stocked. The views were amazing and it was an easy walk to beach. We really enjoyed using the pool after a day at beach. The hosts had plenty of beach chairs and anything you would need for beach. We really liked having the ice maker to fill the coolers. Overall, the hosts did a great job thinking of things and providing most everything that you would need. We definitely would stay again.
The property was everything the pictures showed and more! The hosts left a welcome basket, the home was spotless, neighbors were very friendly. We could see the beach from the balconies. The property was child and pet friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for the review, Debbie! Y’all are welcome back anytime 😊
So comfortable and well appointed. Beautiful house with everything you need if you want to go to beach or bike or just lay out and relax. Beds are comfortable and lots of space to stretch out. Excellent communication and a must stay if looking for a place in the St Augustine area.
The location was perfect! The hosts thought of absolutely everything! Clean clean clean!!!! The amenities were great! Only thing that wasn’t perfect was the pool heater went out and a tech couldn’t get to property to fix it til after we left. Other than that couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay for our family vacation! Will be back next year!
Awesome place, highly recommend! The location is perfect. Across the street from the beach, and less than 10 minutes to downtown St Augustine. The house has everything you could need for a great beach getaway. The host was very responsive and accommodating leading up to and during our stay. She even sent us balloons as we were celebrating our daughter first birthday!

Thank you so much for the kind review, Chad! We are so glad you and your family had a great time celebrating your daughters birthday at Casa Vilano! We would love to have y’all back!
As others have said, we were very impressed with the amount of "little things" that made it feel like home. From K-cups, spices, and baking ingredients to beach items and TV apps, this place has you covered! We saved so many trips to the Publix (only 5 minutes away) because the place has so many of the little things in stock!
Great location and views of the ocean! Great private pool and no complaints.
Casa Vilano is, without question, the best family beach house we’ve ever stayed at. Ashleigh was amazing to work with & the house is fully stocked with anything a big family may need. The fact that we could brings our dogs & feel welcomed was icing on the cake. Great memories made before my daughter heads to college. We will be back!

OMG!!! Thank you so much!! It always makes our day when guest have a wonderful stay!
Casa Vilano was amazing! Perfect location with every amenity imaginable. Stocked kitchen, perfect fenced yard for our 2 dogs and a beautiful heated pool. The large ice maker was the best perk of all! Great layout for 2 families of 4. Teenagers loved all the streaming options as well. This oasis is the perfect location for a relaxing tropical way to spend spring break with our family and friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Casa Vilano! Four couples and two pups fit comfortably. The house has everything you need such as beach towels, beach chairs, surf boards, etc. We do a great deal of cooking and the kitchen is well equipped! The beds are also very comfortable. If I needed something, the owners got back to me promptly and were very kind. Definitely will stay again!

Thank you for the sweet review, Nina! We are so glad y’all had a good time! Hope to have y’all back!
The short walk to the beach, which was basically private, comes as advertised. If swimming, tanning, surfing, boogie boarding and fishing, 25 yards from your residence is something you would be interested in, this is the place! The open floor plan, balconies and views were amazing. Ashleigh and Jimmy were the most accommodating hosts I have engaged with on VRBO. The place is a Home Run!

This property was great for our family vacation! Came stocked with plenty of amenities to use, a variety of everyday kitchen items to use, plenty of space for the family to each have their own space, and great open living area/kitchen. Host responded quickly to anything I asked, there was a bit of a hiccup with check in and code not working, but confident that is replaced by now. Would definitely stay here again, excellent all around. Large back yard area, pool very nice and yard to play in with little kids. Highly recommend!
Everything you could ever need from a vacation rental and more. The house was perfect and so clean and was well stocked with anything we needed! My family is already talking about coming back next year! It was a dream come true. One week was definitely not enough! Thank you Ashleigh for opening your beautiful home to us!

Fantastic property, incredibly well-stocked and appointed! Included everything you would need for a large family gathering and beach vacation. Beach toys, chairs, bikes, a kitchen, better stocked than most home kitchens! And the location was perfect! The sand and beach in this section of Vilano Beach is wonderful. No riptides, seaweed, kelp, or rocks! Just nice white powdery, sand and warm water. Can’t say enough great things about this property and location!

Thank you so much for the review, Beverly! I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay, come back anytime!
Casa Vilano was the perfect rental house for our family vacation! We stayed during the 4th of July week and you could see the St Augustine fireworks from the top balcony which was amazing! The house was equipped with everything you would need and more, we seriously should have just brought ourselves. The owners even left a fun gift basket with treats for our dogs and sparklers for the 4th of July holiday. Everything was so well thought out, and you can’t beat being right across the street from the beach!
As an extended family, we have been doing beach trips for 8 years. This house was our favorite. The open floor plan on the second floor was amazing with plenty of space and great views. The upstairs and downstairs bedrooms were spacious with firm king beds. The kids loved the pool and the beach access was so convenient. To top things off, our hosts stocked the house with plenty of amenities to make our stay exceed our expectations. We plan to book this house again.

Thank you for the glowing review, Jeremy!! We are so glad your family enjoyed the house and your trip to St. Augustine! We can’t wait to host y’all again!
We spent 6 days at Casa Vilano over the NYE holiday. The location was perfect, so close to the beach. Amazing views from second and third floor. Impeccably decorated and well stocked kitchen and pantry. The hosts thought of everything- we especially appreciated small details like extra toothbrushes, hair ties and make up wipes, not to mention the holiday decorations! The mattresses were the most comfortable of any house we’ve ever rented. Excellent communication from the hosts with every question we had. Can’t recommend this house enough.
My family and I had an amazing time here. Property is exactly as listed online. It was just my husband and our parents but this house is perfect for a family with kids. It's also nice, super clean, and very well stocked. There is a full-size ice machine in the garage which was nice because we never needed extra ice for coolers, a printer in the master upstairs that we ended up using for work, and the fact that it's dog friendly and the pool is heated is a plus. The kitchen is great for a crowd and we enjoyed making dinners each night and eatting in. Our family is already planning our next trip back!

Thank you for the great review, Candice! We are so glad you and your family had a great time. We can’t wait to have y’all back! :)
We just got back from spending a week at this property and I can't say enough about how perfect it was! We have two kids and it was so easy to go back and forth from beach to pool, to naps, making lunch, etc. The location is prime, the pool is great and the house is outfitted with everything you could ever need. Ever rent a house and think "darn, they could really use X here" ? Not this place! We absolutely enjoyed it and will be back the moment we have a chance to do so. Thank you!

Thank you for your review, Laura! We are so glad y’all enjoyed your vacation and we would love to host your family again! 😁
Casa Vilano was an amazing house for our family of 6 adults and 2 babies! The house was well stocked with EVERYTHING we needed and the close walk to the beach was great for quick trips with the babies! The backyard pool was so nice to come back to after a hot beach day, and the sun deck was the best play area for our toddler. All of the beds were comfortable, and the bedrooms were spacious enough for us to be able to spread out! Plus, who wouldn’t love the ice maker in the garage!! The kitchen and bathrooms included everything we needed for our stay, so we didn’t need to bring anything extra! We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Ashleigh Arnold
We are a family of 5 plus two doodles. This is our home that we have listed on VRBO for you to use while we travel. Please take care of it :)
Why they chose this property
This property us unique among others at the beach. The beach houses in the area have small driveways right on A1A, Coastal Highway, which is very dangerous for kids and pets. We built on A1A but our driveway comes off of 22nd St. so we still have great ocean views with beach access but we don't have to worry about the traffic hazards.
What makes this property unique
The home features great ocean views, porch swings, large open kitchen, a nice sandy path to the beach with a luxurious heated pool.
