Great Location Close to Beach

Our family stayed at this VRBO at Christmas. It is perfect for families with pets with the fenced yard. Parking is a breeze in the driveway. House was very clean and everything we needed was provided. Very good stay and would recommend.

Staying here was a fantastic experience, and three things really stand out that make us want to come back.1) The property itself was great, especially if you have a pet because the fenced in yard was so convenient. Also, the location is 3 blocks away from the beach which made it easy to access.2) The host Lauren was super communicative - fast to respond and very thorough. We can’t emphasize how nice and refreshing that was and it really made the whole experience easy.3) The people in the area are just…nice. Normal.We are definitely coming back.Thanks Lauren!

Excellent location

Great location in Villano Beach. Really close to the public access for the beach and the Town Center. Made getting around St Augustine during the thanksgiving holidays really convenient. Communication was excellent and the place was clean and comfortable. Everything was as listed. Would definitely stay again.

Comfy Cozy Cottage

This cozy cottage made us feel very much at home! The bedding and pillows were comfy and there was ample room in the living room to relax along with foot stools to literally kick back and put your feet up! The cutest iron table on the back porch where our daughter and I sat every morning watching squirrels, birds and dog walkers passing by as we drank our coffee before walking to the beach!

Wonderful stay in april

The place is in a quiet friendly neighborhood.Just a short walk to the beach or a public parking space for beach access at end of street The house has open spaces to interact whether in the family room or interact while cooking with open concept. Great screened porch for quiet breakfasts or dinners. In addition a couple if thought out knooks for individual spaces either in a small reading area and a quiet room with daybed. Wonderful laundry facllity and yard too. The host responded quickly to any questions or request. It would be nice to supply some beach chairs if possible. Also the house is built awhile ago but wonderfully renovated with modern anemities but the only thing the old glass doorknob going to main bathroom has dufficulty staying together. I would recommend bolting or replacing knob. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a well mamaged,clean, major renovations making inside modern yet keeps outside with some of the old florida vibe. It is a relaxed home and neighborhood! I have stayed twice at this place and would not hesitate to book again!
