We had an absolutely incredible stay here in Vilano Beach, five stars all the way! The location is unbeatable. You’re literally just steps from the sand in one of the best stretches of beach, as well as the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway (Tolomato River.) It’s just a short drive to all the history, attractions, and charm of St. Augustine. The dining options are outstanding, with something for every taste just minutes away. The local seafood is especially exceptional – some of the best we’ve ever had was only a few blocks from the house. Lydia and Barry were phenomenal hosts. They provided clear, easy check-in instructions and were always responsive, attentive, and available whenever we had a question. Their guidebook was a fantastic resource, filled with excellent recommendations for restaurants, activities, and local tips that made our stay even better. You truly couldn’t ask for better hosts. This was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy everything the area has to offer. The property’s tagline in the listing says it perfectly: “St. Augustine’s best kept secret is Vilano Beach.” It couldn’t have been more true. Thank you, Lydia, and Barry, for sharing your beautiful Vilano Beach home with us. We had a wonderful stay and would return without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!
