About this property

Oceanfront Paradise! 2/2 mins from St. Augustine! Great for families & couples!

Direct OCEANFRONT! Newly-redecorated! The Great Wave at Seawatch of Vilano is a beautifully BEACHY condo that is the PERFECT coastal getaway for your next romantic retreat, couples weekend, or dream family beach holiday in our nation’s oldest city- St. Augustine! Ideally located and outfitted with your family’s needs in mind, the Great Wave will help you create memories with your loved ones that will last a lifetime. The Great Wave has the capacity to sleep 7 comfortably in 2 large bedrooms with attached bathrooms. The bright, spacious living room has a queen sleeper sofa and twin chair-and-a-half sleeper, both with cool gel foam mattresses so that everyone gets the ultimate restful night’s sleep. Both large, sea life-themed bedrooms are tastefully furnished and have comfy king-sized beds and both bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body bar soap, lotion, and make-up removing wipes. The oceanside Starfish bedroom has its own private door that opens out to the spacious screened-in patio overlooking the ocean, sand dunes, and grassy play area. The Starfish ensuite has a tub/shower combo with your choice of the rain shower head and/or the handheld massage shower head. The tub/shower and toilet are closed off from the single sink bathroom vanity area for greater privacy. The Starfish’s new king bed has a nightstand on both sides that have integrated USB ports for charging all your devices. The poolside Sea Turtle bedroom has a king bed equipped with an adjustable base and remote control so that you decide your own level of comfort. The head of the bed can be raised to improve sleep and for optimal TV viewing of the 42” Smart TV. Both nightstands also have integrated USB ports so everyone can stay charged. The Sea Turtle’s ensuite has a standup shower with a brand-new glass sliding door and a multi-setting massage shower head with handheld option great for washing off kiddos after a fun filled day at the beach. Bath towels and “sand-free” beach towels are provided and labeled for your use.
The Great Wave is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway in peaceful Vilano Beach. It is close to all the action of St. Augustine and the many local attractions that are only minutes away! The Great Wave gives your family nearly unlimited options in how you want to spend your valuable vacation time. Whether you want to relax on our semi-private beach with the provided beach chairs and sun shade canopy or in the chaise lounges under the umbrellas by the pool, it’s all up to you! Would you like to be on the ocean but away from the bothersome sand? Our screened-in porch provides the proximity to the sea combined with the comfort of a breezy, bug-free environment replete with lounge chairs and a new ceiling fan. The unique, staggered architecture of Seawatch creates a very special space where the view from the back patio will make you feel like you are in your own private paradise! Everyone will love the Great Wave’s easy accessibility as it is conveniently located on the first floor, a short walk from the parking area and our own boardwalk that leads to the beach. The front door looks out over the newly redone and sparkling pool so you can keep an eye on the kids and grandma :) Everyone can kick back poolside in the plentiful provided seating. The back door opens out to the patio which then leads to the lush lawn where family fun can be had with yard games like bocci ball or ultimate frisbee! The Seawatch tennis court is available to all guests staying at the Great Wave and tennis balls and rackets are provided for your use. If you would prefer to park your car and leave it parked underneath our covered and reserved parking space, you may do so and you may be able to save money on parking in St. Augustine by taking a quick Uber/Lyft ride into town instead of paying for the public parking garage or wasting time searching for on-street, metered parking. The Great Wave also has ample additional parking for guests so there is space for the whole family!
Want to explore your new surroundings? St. Augustine has trolley and train tours that run everyday and there is a variety to choose from depending on your interests, as well as horse-drawn carriage rides for those animal lovers. Walking Ghost Tours are popular and filled with local history and lore that is exciting for both young and young of heart. The San Sebastian Winery and the St. Augustine Distillery both offer free tasting tours daily. The exciting nightlife of St. Augustine awaits just over the bridge into town with a multitude of restaurants, bars, and activities all for your choosing. Since Uber and Lyft operate in this area, you can check in, drop your car and leave it parked till it’s time to head on home. Food delivery services such as DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats all operate in this area. If you prefer to stay in and cook, Publix grocery is only 0.3 miles away and our fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need to make memories with your family. Wake up with the sunrise and make breakfast special with our double Belgian waffle maker and large electric griddle that has enough surface area to cook up eggs and bacon for the entire family! Enjoy easy afternoon outdoor grilling on our porch with the George Foreman outdoor/indoor nonstick 15+ serving electric grill- no charcoal, gas, or lighter fluid needed! Just plug in and grill away with nearly effortless cleanup. Relax in the evening with a glass of the local award-winning wine from San Sebastian Winery or take a leisurely sunset stroll via the Vilano boardwalk over to the Town Center and Beaches Caribbean Restaurant and Bar for live music and outdoor seating overlooking the river. Unwind with cocktails while watching the sun sink slowly below the horizon.
Are you and your family nature-lovers? We are only 5 miles from the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park and less than 6 miles from Anastasia State Park with its over 1,600 acres of unspoiled white sand beaches, tidal marshes, maritime hammocks, and ancient sand dunes. You can also enjoy our very own wildlife viewing seating from our beach boardwalk benches and watch as pelicans and seagulls soar overhead. If you are a history buff St. Augustine is filled with living history such as the famous Castillo de San Marcos, which offers daily tours, and the nearby famous St. George Street known for local arts and crafts, shopping, restaurants, ice cream and more! If you are looking for more adventurous pursuits, local marinas offer boat rentals and fishing charters and a boat ramp is just down the road from the Great Wave. Parasailing, jet skiing, and helicopter rides are all on offer in St. Augustine. You can also rent bicycles, scooters, or take a guided Segway tour! You decide how you want to spend your family’s time. The Great Wave at Seawatch of Vilano is the perfect place for your family’s next dream vacation. Don’t miss out, book NOW!

Lovely condo
Wonderful condo and host!!! The location is great, right on the beach. The whole condo is so charmingly decorated and well stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. Perfect for a family with kids, the pool is right out the front door and a large grassy area right outside the back door for playing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back again.

Amazing Beach Front Stay at Vilano Beach
This Condo is so peaceful and well stocked. We loved how close the beach access was and how nice the owners were to help show us everything the condo had to offer the first day. I hope to be able to stay here again the next time we come to Florida for vacation.

Location, location, location...and so much more!
We discovered we could walk to almost anything we needed like the local pier, coffee shop, restaurants, fishing tackle and grocery. Of course the best walk is the beautiful beach! We enjoyed watching the sunrise from the condos lanai and listening to the ocean waves as we fell asleep. Our host went above and beyond when stocking supplies for the kitchen as well as personal care products. There was even a basket of new slippers in the closest for us. Lots of thoughtful little touches. Our host was a pleasurer to talk with and quick to respond if we had a question. Beds were comfortable. Unit was clean and inviting. We hope to come back and stay again!

AMAZING!!
Everything was so easy from getting settled to how close and easy it was to get to the beach. The condo was clean and very well-stocked!! We were blown away!! The screened in area is incredible for having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and listening to the ocean. The pool was nearly right outside our door as well. We had no rowdy neighbors, just friendly people everywhere. My wife was making plans to come back before we even left!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel V Whitford

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to the Great Wave! I am so happy to share my beach home with you! As a native Floridian I grew up with a love of being near the ocean and it was a dream come true when this unit became available at Seawatch. I currently live a short way away in Jacksonville. My cottage, that I share with my cockatoo and cat, is on my family's 11 acre farm. I am an internationally touring musician so I usually spend parts of the year abroad and other times I manage our dog boarding kennel. I love Japanese art and the great woodblock print artist Hiroshige Hokusai created the famous Great Wave Off Kanagawa which was my inspiration for this beach condo. There's nothing quite like feeling the ocean breeze through your hair and listening to the waves to ease tension and stress. I love spending time here to just relax and recharge.

Why they chose this property

My family has had a number of beachfront properties over the years but none have been as fabulously situated as the Great Wave. It is close to everything yet far enough away that it maintains its peaceful vibes. The Seawatch community is very welcoming and understanding that we have something very special here. I love that the Great Wave opens up to the pool on one side and the ocean on the other because I can get a great cross breeze through the condo. And there is room enough for the family! The grassy lawn behind the condo is the perfect place for yard games like bocci ball and Frisbee.

What makes this property unique

The Great Wave gives you oceanfront sunrises over the Atlantic and walking-distance sunsets over the Intracoastal Waterway. You can relax out back on the patio under the new ceiling fan, on the beach or by the pool. You can go into St. Augustine for excellent dining, shopping, history, and adventure. Want to get here and stay here? Publix grocery is less than a half mile away and the kitchen is fully equipped for family meals. Food delivery services operate in this area as well and several restaurants are within walking distance. You are so close to everything but you still feel like you are getting away from it all here.
