It is a secluded paradise! The pool is so restful, the fig tree has sweet fresh figs, the place is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. There is a really cool path to cross the street to a most spectacular beach. Best of all, the hosts are warm and welcoming. Truly one of the BEST places I have stayed! Thank you, Grayson!

Also a short drive to downtown St. Augustine. It was too cold to swim but we loved our evenings sitting outside by the pool. Owners were very responsive and came over immediately when there was a small problem with the water pressure. All good! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John D. 6 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Vilano Beach.. Labor Day Weekend My wife and I stayed here over three wonderful days of Labor Day weekend. Communication with the host was excellent, the property was as described and all the starter items were provided and then some to have an excellent mini vacation. Beach chairs and cooler was perfect for the quick walk up the the path to the beach. The property is located away from the public beach access so you get your pick of the sand! Bed in the main bedroom is nice and comfy, property is nicely decorated and very clean! Overall a 5+ star stay and would go back in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed booking this property! ##### John D.

During such uncertain times this house provided us a home away from home to enjoy the sun, pool and beach! It was great having our own pool, and the beach is literally just across the street and just steps away. The home was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to cook all our meals. There was a great grill so we could cook out too! There were perfect little beach chairs to take across the street and extra towels. Beds were so comfy! I can’t say enough great things about this place. We have family in the area and we would definitely stay again! Loved our time here!!!! ##### Tammy S. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Devin M. 15 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice location Overall nice stay. Good location, easy beach access, quiet neighborhood. My only complaint is that the property was very buggy- inside and out….. And I’m a Floridian, so I understand that a certain amount of bugs can be expected, but there were ants, and some sort of flying ant/wasp looking bugs in the house. One morning I woke up to a newly spun spider web from the coffee make to my coffee cup. I would recommend routine professional exterminator. Other than that it was a good stay. The house came equipped with everything needed. ##### Devin M.

My annual girls weekend trip and we absolutely loved this house. It was just right for the 4 of house. We loved the privacy in the backyard and the little pool. Contact with the owners was AMAZING. We even got to share in the full moon on Sunday at the beach. Definitely would stay here again for a quiet weekend or time away from home. Thank you!!! ##### Belinda Z.

We enjoy the heated pool and are pleased to find a 2 bedroom that has a heated pool that is not a condo. Also the hosts take their properties and their guests seriously and are prompt and gracious. ##### Rhonda F.

The house was extremely clean and the location was great in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to all St. Augustine has to offer. Would definitely choose this property again. ##### Stewart M. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### amanda l. 28 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Retreat We visited St. Augustine for spring break with two school-age children. The house was just as it was listed! On a quiet street, a quick walk to the beach, well stocked with everything we needed. We did use the heat for the pool, since the nights were still cool, which helped make the pool warm enough for even my husband to swim at least twice! St. Augustine is a cute area with lots to do and we'd definitely come back again! ##### amanda l. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean Z., Traverse City, Michigan, United States 17 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Happy Campers It was our first time in Vilano Beach and the first time we rented in this lovely house. The location is at the end of the street in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Because of the cool weather, the fire pit was used most nights. We were aware of the charge for heating the pool so no surprises there! The path that leads to the beach is passable but once you cross the road, the trail to the beach became impassable due to hurricane damage.That was disappointing! The other important thing to mention is the communication with the hosts was excellent. We had a few glitches but they were taken care of immediately. Overall, this is a house that I would rent again. ##### Jean Z.
