A great location and a perfectly equipped kitchen. Having 2 king suites is wonderful

Ann and Michael were terrific hosts for our long weekend. A perfectly stocked kitchen and 2 king bedrooms each with its own baths is fantastic for 2 couples or a small family like ours. Very easy walk to the beach and a short drive 2 a couple of great restaurants in caps and aunt Kate's. The bottle of wine for the birthday girl was a nice touch. See you soon!

Quiet Location

Unit was very clean. Ms. Anne was wonderful, very easy to work with. Although it was not an issue for us, the upstairs loft where the 2nd Bedroom is located was a little warm for our liking. However, there was a fan provided to help mitigate. We would stay here again.

Best place to stay by far!!

From the moment we made the reservation I knew this was going to be a great vacation! Aside from the property being in a fantastic location, the accommodations were more than we could of asked for. Clean, stocked with all our needs, even a baby gate for the stairs that I forgot to bring myself. An added bonus was Anne and Michael! From reservation to departure, wow ! Anne made sure our stay was exceptional, from the $25 a day golf cart access, inside scope to getting a table at CAPs and just genuine accessible of her service and knowledge. You don’t meet genuinely nice people everyday, and Anne and Michael are those people. We will be back, and with more family, to enjoy not only the accommodations but because of the people who make those accommodations exceptional!

Spot on location!

The property was in a great location with a great bonus golf cart rental for direct beach access. The back yard was like a little jungle paradise of my own. Everything g you could want was provided for me. From all cleaning supplies dish soap laundry soap dishwasher everything! Plenty of extra towels and blankets. The rooms were quite large with space to put an air mattress which was provided as well! We had one minor issue where something broke and the property manager was wonderful. Handled it as soon as possible and was very nice and not upset about it. Would stay there again.

Perfect beachhouse

Wow. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This home was perfect for us. Clean, bright, and so, so comfy. The backyard was a true oasis, and our dog Kit loved it! She could not wait to get out there every day. Beach access is super close, and the beach is beautiful and so very quiet. It's also very easy to get anywhere nearby. It's in a true neighborhood and we felt very welcomed. Ann is an amazing host. She was available for anything we needed from recommdations to a pair of pliers. Super friendly and relaxed. I just can't say enough good things. Our new beach fav for sure.

Relaxing

Ann is a wonderful host. She has such a green thumb and she works hard in the yards. It is beautiful location. Really dark at night so bring a flashlight. The condo had all the amenities for cooking, washing clothes, etc. All you need to bring is your personal stuff. The only thing that could have made it better for me is a chair in the living area. I have a bad back and the couch, while great for sleeping on, was difficult for me to get out of. I would definitely go back. The golf cart made it so easy to get to the beach (just a shame that Florida was cold that week). Plenty of places to eat. Grocery store 6 miles away. Easy access to downtown St. Augustine. Highly recommend!!

STRESS FREE VACATION!!!

I loved this place!!!! Me, my husband, my daughter and son-in-law, along with a 4 month old stayed here and it was better than the pictures. It is in a great location that is close to everything you want!!! The condo was clean, inviting, and smelled fresh. We had everything we needed and relaxed on the beach and in the comfortable couch and beds. The owners were very nice and helpful, giving us great ideas to eat and shop. I will definitely be booking this place again!!!! I give 5 stars to the owners and the place!!!

Great Condo near the beach

Loved this place. Just a few minutes to the beach (by feet or by auto). It was very comfortable for our group of 4. The theme and decor was on point. Couch was amazing, and the unit itself was cozy. We loved the outdoor grill/kitchen and utilized it a few times. The hosts were very accomodating and made sure our needs were met. At the same time they gave us our space and never intruded on our trip. Great balance. The location of Vilano beach was perfect for us. Historic St. Augustine was a hop, skip,and a jump away. We had a great experience at Caps on the Water which is a few minutes away. Highly recommended ! I can see us back there.

Great Vacation Gem

Our vacation at the Tropical Paradise was fantastically convenient, comfortable, and clean for our small family. The property had a very homey feel and had so much to offer inside and outside the property. Located north of Vilano, the beach town property is in driving distance if you want to walk or park your car to head to the beach, or river. St. Augustine, or Jacksonville is very quick trip on AIA. The property itself is nested in a condo neighborhood and it felt so clean and comfortable for my family and dog. If you have pets, the backyard is a great adventure for your pet. We had everything we needed and more to entertain ourselves in the condo. The property manager Anne was so friendly and is very easy to work with. We highly recommend this place if you want to get away from all craziness and have some piece of mind.
