Nice and dog friendly house, green space and parking. We prefer a softer bed ourselves and wished for a bit more water pressure, but the house location was absolutely perfect for beach access, where your furry friend is welcome while on a leash, and the bonus benefit of a dog park about a block or so away!! Kitchen had more supplies than normal which is always a plus! Extra USB and electric plugs for multiple device charging. Great place to stay if you’re looking for multiple beach days, as the night life is usually done by 9 or 10 pm. Walk down for a sunrise, with a cup of coffee for the start of a wonderful day. Enjoy the proximity and relax!

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!

Great cottage near thebeach

We really enjoyed the location and space. It was a short drove to historic St. Augustine but only a 1 block walk to the beach. It had everything we needed for 2 people and 2 small dogs. The house is compact but very functional.Thank you!

The house fit all of our needs. Modern kitchen with all the basics we needed even enjoyed the grill a couple of nights. Made full use of the beach chairs that were provided. Quiet neighbor with a short walk to a great beach. Easy to get around with a grocery store close.

Felt like we were guests at a friend's house.

A nice little beach house with everything you need for a comfortable week's visit (including beach towels & chairs & more). Publix is close by and the kitchen has everything you need for eating in. There are lots of restaurant options.The beach is 2 blocks away (an easy walk). House furnishings are cheerful. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Lori Bolt

Host profile image
I grew up in Indiana and moved to Jacksonville, Florida as a teenager. I have lived the rest of my life in Florida, and love it! Currently, my husband and I travel back and forth between Florida and California for work. The Surfside home is our home when we are in Florida.

Why they chose this property

From my teenage years through adulthood, I have always chosen Vilano Beach as my "private beach" to visit. My Husband and I finally bought ourselves our beach bungalow one block from the beach!

What makes this property unique

The home is one block from the beach, and the Surfside Beach approach (parking, showers, bathrooms, etc.). We are also 1/2 block away from the Vilano community center with tennis and pickle ball courts, as well as a children's playground and dog park. The neighborhood is dog friendly. We are also within 2 miles of downtown St. Augustine, and within 3 miles of the St. Augustine farmer's market and St. Augustine Amphitheater.
