About this property

100 Steps to Beach ~ HEATED POOL ~ 2 King Beds!

You're going to enjoy your stay at Coco's Beach Cottage! This charming beach home features a private swimming pool and much more. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath house is just steps away from the beautiful Vilano Beach, with the Intracoastal Waterway only a short walk away.

The house spans two levels and accommodates up to eight guests. It includes two king beds, one queen bed, and a sleeper sofa. The primary bathroom has a walk-in shower and a relaxing bathtub, while the guest bathroom features a tub-shower combination. Every bedroom is equipped with a TV for your entertainment! The fully equipped kitchen includes a dining area and a breakfast bar, and complimentary wireless internet is available during your stay.

Coco's Beach Cottage is pet-friendly and is designed to make you feel at home during your vacation. Amenities include bed and bath linens, hardwood floors, lovely décor, a large flat-panel HDTV, Wi-Fi, a washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and more.

Just 100 steps from the beach via an easy-access path on one side and only a five-minute walk to the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, this area of Vilano/North Beach is known for surfing, paddleboarding, fishing, shark tooth hunting, and more. You can walk, bike, or drive to many great restaurants just minutes away. Our comfortable home is a 10-minute drive from the lively and historic town of St. Augustine! The Vilano Beach pier is just a three-minute drive (or a 40-minute walk along the beach), where you’ll find a Publix grocery store and a mini outdoor mall. Nearby, you’ll also discover a local post office, a bait and gear store, a boat rental facility, a gas dock, a local pub, and several restaurants along the Intracoastal. You can reach the PGA Tour’s TPC Sawgrass in just 20 minutes, and it’s a two-hour drive to Walt Disney World.

Vilano Beach, located on Veterans Island in St. Augustine, is closer to the historic district than any other beach in the city—only 10 minutes from historical sites and the antique district. Spend your mornings relaxing on the beach and your afternoons exploring St. George Street in downtown St. Augustine.

For an additional $200/week or less, the pool may be heated to a maximum of 84 degrees. The pool heater must be added to your reservation 48 hours before arrival. Please note that we do not offer this service from Memorial Day through September.

Great stay.

Our family had a great stay over spring break. Location is great with short walk to beach. Pool was a hit with our grandkids. A few small improvements would make it even better - more silverwear, some new nonstick pans and a smart TV in the living room.

Spring Break

Spent the week in St. Augustine for Spring Break with our family. House was convenient and a quick walk to the beach. I did not realize the Master was upstairs so be ready to climb up with all of your luggage! The beds were very comfortable. The living room furniture is not the greatest and it is packed into a tiny living room where you cannot fully open the doors to the back porch. Would be better if they consolidated the furniture and set it up differently to allow a better flow of traffic. The kitchen was fine. Don’t plan to cook a big meal as pots and pans were very old. Knives were so dull we could not sure bread and the baking sheets were very old and gross. All in all it met our needs but not the mostLuxurious!

Great Summer House!

We are a family of five and we found that Coco's Beach Cottage fit our need perfectly. The photos perfectly described the home and we found the neighborhood street to be quiet and family friendly. I will note that the beach is across A1A, a two lane street. It is a short walk, but we were a bit surprised about having our young ones zoom across a 55mph zoned street. It is perfectly located, super easy to get back and forth from St. Augustine, which is where we spent most of our time. There are a few restaurants right down the street as well, which was super nice!! Aunt Kates & Beaches are both laid back, beachy and faimly friendly. The Reef is the next level up, with more elegant food and less impressive to the children. We found that the extremely private beach was great for our family. This is NOT you condo infested beach!! There were no families around us, so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves pretty much! Nice!! All in all, it was a success!

Beach house minus the beach accessories

This beach house had no beach towels, no beach umbrella or tent, one broken beach chair and 3 ancient, disgusting chairs. Ants covered the walkway and lawn(don't know if these were fire ants or not). House can sleep 10, we were 6, And had to wash towels on a daily basis just for bathing. They certainly was not enough to use as beach towels. There was no plastic glassware to use by the pool Tha extra sheets were scatchy and as hard as cardboard. Overall we had a decent time but would have had a much better experience if it had the proper amenities you'd expect a beach house to have.

Very clean, very nice, very private pool, great location!

We really enjoyed our stay. We came the week after Hurricane Irma, and weren't sure what to expect, but honestly had no problems. The management company did a great job - they were responsive to all inquiries and fast on providing services when needed. The kitchen had great appliances- rare in a weekly rental. They had a couple of very comfortable beds, which is also rare. The pool is fenced on all sides, and very private. The location is literally just 2 houses and a street-crossing away from the beach. There was no access without climbing a steep Sandy hill, because Irma blew away all the stairs, but we managed fine. With stairs there, it's honestly very beach convenient, but you don't have to pay the "on beach" price and you get a pool. I feel like the owners did a good job of appointing the home for a comfortable stay, with TVs in every bedroom, a nice cable package (all the expanded basic, no premium channels). There is enough equipment in the kitchen to get by, although there are so many dining options, we didn't bother much. The washer and dryer worked well. We honestly had no complaints. If I had to complain about something, I would say the couch was uncomfortable. It's a pull out, though, and leather is a good choice for a beach home because sand and wet clothes happen. I would not hesitate to rent again. I wouldn't call our family high maintenance, but from an average person's standard, it was great. We have rented houses all over Georgia and Florida and this one was the best. Best location, best amenities, best little pool, best management.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our family and pets. The location was so close to the beach - just steps away. And, we were a short drive to downtown. We could be there in just a few minutes. The property manager was so easy to work with and gave us a great recommendation for buying fresh local seafood. Can’t wait to visit again!

The decription of the home was accurately defined. It was close to the beach- walking distance! The kiddos loved the pool- you can ask for it to be heated for a fee(we did this- and were happy we did). Great location to get to St. Augustine. Marty communicated quickly when needed. Highly recommend, we will be back!

We had an amazing stay at this property. The location was perfect as we were able to walk to Caps, Aunt Kate’s, and the Reef. Most importantly, this property was perfect for my dog. He was so comfortable here with the fenced in backyard, carpeted floors, and spacious living area. Would definitely book again.

Perfect location

The location is ideal; super short walk to the beach. The surrounding neighborhood is great for walking/biking. Publix is very close, maybe a mile away. The Reef restaurant is also nearby and the food is excellent! Vilano Beach is the perfect distance from Saint Augustine. I highly recommend this stay!

Family Vacation 2023

The only thing we didn’t realize before booking was that all three bedrooms are upstairs. It wasn’t a big deal, we were just thinking one bedroom was downstairs. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pool the most! This was the first time that me, my kids, and grandkids all stayed in the same house together, and it was so much fun! It was also the first time staying on Vilano Beach instead of St. Augustine Beach and we enjoyed it so much we’re thinking about going back next year! Thank you for allowing us to rent CoCo’s Beach Cottage for the week!

Pros and cons

Check in process was easy, the layout of the home is good for the privacy upstairs and kitchen downstairs. We visited over Spring Break and the space needed major cleaning. Grass needed mowed, pool was Sandy and had stuff in it, tons of trash out front, and pillows were unusable. The pool is tiny w no hangout space out back. The place including the windows needs a good pressure wash. We were happy to snag a place last minute at the beach but definitely overpaid for this. Someone needs to take a week off renting it and get it back in rental shape for that kind of money.

VRBO

I really didn’t see anything extra for the ‘VRBO experience’ There was no welcome basket or notebook with information about the tv remotes and/or restaurants and activities. The 50 steps to beach was a little bit deceptive. We were disappointed the pool was full of leaves.
