Everything about this spot SCREAMED perfection!To be able to have my 6 year old in the water at 6 am and take various breaks while being able to just walk into the house was phenomenal.The location so close to attractions and night life while still providing a quiet ecape was just unlike anything else.The hosts were very attentive and easy to reach!I cant wait to return to this little slice of heaven
We absolutely loved our stay! The house and the location are perfect and communication was easy and friendly with prompt response time. I highly recommend the Seaglass Cottage! We've already had so many friends ask for the link after hearing about our trip!
I absolutely loved this stunning oceanfront home! The views are breathtaking and walking straight out to the sand feels like paradise. The kitchen is gorgeous and so well-equipped. One thing I loved about there is you really feel like you’re at home. But still on vacation. The best of both worlds.My mom was visiting from Chicago and loved the house. I think she loves it better than mine lol. Villano Beach completely stole our hearts. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful place. We enjoyed a couple restaurants on the river just a few minutes away. The home itself is just perfect. We truly hope to return soon and would highly recommend the Seaglass retreat for those truly wanting to get away!
Excellent property with stunning views. Perfect location for us. Host was easy to communicate with and I feel would have been available should we have needed anything. Thank you for allowing us to stay.
Seaglass. Outage is ideally located with direct beach access to Vilano beach. The outdoor porches and beach views are magnificent. The interior is updated and clean. The location is great with quick access to downtown St. Augustine but secluded enough to provide a great overall beach experience.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, Barry. The beachfront location, updated interior and quiet setting are exactly the features that made us fall in love with Seaglass! Add on the fact that Seaglass is 10 minutes to America’s oldest city, St Augustine, with so many fun activities, restaurants and sites to see, and I just can’t think of a better place to vacation! Hope you’ll be back!
The host was extremely welcoming and made us feel like family. Every detail from corresponding with the host to the house itself was beyond exceptional and led to an overwhelmingly positive experience. We absolutely loved how the host took the time after initial check-in to make contact with us and to provide popular tourist options and food recommendations. It only took 2 to 3 hours of being there for my girlfriend and I to start looking at our calendars to re-book. Words cannot describe how incredible the house is kept.

Wow! Thank you so much for the incredible review, LaDarius :) We are so thrilled you enjoyed Seaglass Cottage, and we would be so excited to host you again!
This property is stunning. The chance to be directly on the beach every day was exactly what I wanted and that is what we got! The house, beach and weather were perfect during our stay with lots of local restaurants and attractions to satisfy our needs.
This is a great little spot on the Atlantic coast to enjoy sunrises and a long stretch of beach. The house is cozy and the hosts are attentive, welcoming, and responsive.

It is a beautiful, clean, and comfortable house. The location is amazing. Communication was easy and the only 2 very small concerns we had were addressed and resolved quickly. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice private beach stay.

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for the stellar review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a wonderful time at Seaglass Cottage. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for choosing our place for your stay!
This property is so nice! The view is amazing. The deck with the chairs and table are amazing. Has an umbrella at the table so I was able to have shade but still get sun. The property had everything we needed and so convenient to St. Augustine. Grocery store is within a mile. Loved every minute of it! Our grown children and friends were able to stay on one side and my husband and o had the other side. Can’t recommend this property enough!

Shannon,
Thank you so much for the great review! The split nature of the bedroom is so nice for that extra feeling of space and privacy- we love it too! And we are so glad you enjoyed the oceanfront views!
We hope that you will consider Seaglass Cottage again in the future!
Everything about Seaglass cottage was excellent! The house is beautiful, clean, communication was great, and the view is spectacular! Close to all the activities but you also get the beach to take walks on and relax to the sounds of the ocean! We will definitely be coming back!

Hi Angela, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so happy Seaglass Cottage could be the perfect spot for your getaway. Your feedback really brightens our day, and we’d love to host you again anytime. Thanks for being such a wonderful guest!
Absolutely everything was perfect. Beautiful home directly on the beach. Great floor plan, bedrooms on each end of the house with the living/dining/kitchen areas in between. Very generous supplies of paper goods and kitchen items. Extremely clean and pleasant.
The property is multi levels, ceilings are quite low.We have tall people. The outdoor furniture was broken, which they did give us a credit for but there was really nowhere to hang outside that was comfortable. One of the outlets in the bathroom smell like it was burning on day 2. We reported it, but no one came to fix it. So we were not able to use that outlet. Which was the only one in that bathroom? So friends had to use the other friend's bathroom.It's not what we bargained for.
Amazing beach location with a wonderful view! Interior has been very well updated and the unit was very clean and cozy. Kitchen, bath and laundry supplies were more than sufficient. Marsha and Emily were great hosts and very attentive providing great communication and easy access upon our arrival. Our short stay was very positive.
