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!

Loved It!
It was amazing! The house was extremely clean and the walk time to the beach was accurate. The amenities in the house were more than what was listed, which was fantastic! Our pets had everything that they needed plus some. The beach was quiet and we could actually enjoy our time without loud noise and a lot of people. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact. We 100% recommend staying here and will definitely be back!

Very Nice Bungalow
My wife and I were in Punta Gorda for the winter we decided to make a stop in Vilano for a few days to check it out on our way home. We saw this house on VRBO and decided to rent it. We are glad we did. It is a very nice home. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It is also steps to the beach and very close (walkable) to downtown restaurants and fishing pier. Would definitely stay here again.

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.

New Orleans Road Trip
long road trip, spent 3 nights here. everything previously mentioned is true. very close to the beach, quiet neighborhood, actually very nice inside with good sized rooms. what I really wanted to say here is that staying at hotels & houses comes down to the details. it's the little things that you start to notice. of everywhere we've been, this is in the top list: unlimited coffee, dog blankets, fluffy towels, very well organized and labeled, kleenex and soap.so keep up the good work, people notice and it matters.

Still a great place….
Second time to the property for a weekend getaway and still happy with my stay! Priced right, close to the beach, close to the grocery store and less than a 10 minute drive to downtown St Augustine! If available when we need it we’ll be back!

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!
Insgesamt eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft. Allerdings war die Matratze im Hauptschlafzimmer mehr als erneuerungsbedürftig. In der Garage befindet sich bis auf einen Sonnenschirm vieles was man für einen Strandaufenthalt benötigt.
