Awesome place to stay! Very nice, clean, and pet friendly. Has a garage and everything needed to enjoy Vilano. We used the bikes to ride to the store and visit family down the street. Easy booking, check in, and check out! Highly recommended

This place is so cute. The host was very accommodating and friendly. The property was very clean. Plenty of parking. They had bikes, and beach stuff in the garage, dog bowls and other useful things. The beds were not the comfiest, that’s the only negative thing I could find. Would stay here again!

Lori was very gracious and the Surfside Cottage was ideal for our small family trip to St. Augustine for the celebration of the USA's 250th birthday! It was very clean, spacious enough for 4 adults and a big dog. Plus, the added convenience of walking to the beach or to the Vilano pier area was great not to mention such a short drive to various restuarants and shopping. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The location was fantastic, easy walk just minutes from the beach and just a short drive to the Vilano pier and downtown St. Augustine. Home was clean and had easy parking. There was an outside shower for post beach sand, and a cute outdoor area to the side to sit and relax. There were also a variety of things available that you may have forgotten at home (from k-cups to dog bowls to beach chairs) and things that were just a bonus (bicycles and cooler for the beach). It was so windy we didn't get to really take advantage of them this time, sadly. Communication with host was easy and had a fast turnaround. We brought our two dogs and though there was not a fenced yard, the neighborhood and the beach made it easy to take them for walks and let them enjoy their stay as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Lori is a fantastic host. Lori has put a lot of effort and thought into providing those nice little extra amenities. This is a pet friendly place even though we did not bring our fur babies.The house is just the same as the listing and is in a great spot. Easy walk to the beach access and short drive to the old town. It was great!

Great Weekend Getaway

Came to St. Augustine for a concert and chose this property instead of a hotel. Great stay, close to the beach, and much better than a hotel room!

This is the cutest house in the perfect location, right across the street from the beach! The owner left so many cute touches - a spot for your flip flops, yoga mats, and even a dog blanket/supplies! We thoroughly enjoyed our quick stay and hope to return and spend more time in St. Augustine. Thank you for hosting us and providing the perfect spot for our quick Thanksgiving trip.

Perfect for weekend getaway

Very clean on our arrival, easy access, quiet neighborhood with an extremely short walk to the beach (1block) and close to downtown St Augustine! Kitchen space is very tight but but this place is great for shorter stays!
