Large Vilano Beach House with heated pool and direct Ocean access.
Looking to combine a visit to the historic town of St. Augustine with a beach vacation? This home could not be more ideally situated. We are literally steps ( approx 30 yds) away from the ocean, and old town St. Augustine is a mere 2 miles over the intracoastal bridge. As this home sits south of the Usina Bridge, noisy A1A traffic is not an issue. A Publix grocery store is located directly across the street, and five excellent restaurants are within walking distance. Additionally, Caps on the Water, The Reef, and Aunt Kate’s are a five minute drive down A1A toward Ponte Vedra. Serenata Beach Club is 4 miles away.
On the first floor of this immaculate home you will find a large, well-equipped kitchen with generous counter space. Adjacent to the kitchen is the LR-DR area with dining for 12, 2 new leather sofas, and a large flat screen TV with access to 10,000+ movies. A small sitting room off the kitchen affords a relaxing view of the ocean which is just steps away. There are 2 bedrooms on the first level: a small bedroom with 2 twin beds, and a master bedroom with queen bed, flat screen, and ensuite bath. At the west end of the first level you will find a family room with game table, writing desk, bookcase filled with books, and a shelf containing 30+ board games. There is a view of the pool from this room. The laundry room and a large powder room complete the first floor.
The second level of this special home features a light-filled, spacious hallway and 3 bedrooms, all with ensuite bath and flat screen TV. The first bedroom features 1 double, 1 twin, & 1 trundle bed which sleeps 4 and are perfect for the little ones. This room also has a walk-in closet containing many games and toys suitable for children under 10. There is a view of the large pool from this room as well. The second bedroom is equipped with comfortable twin beds which can be converted to a king bed. The master bedroom with king bed and large ensuite bath features a lovely ocean view from the bedroom itself as well as from the sun porch which is accessed from this room. This is the place to sip your morning coffee, play Scrabble, or enjoy a bottle of wine with family and friends!
The second level of this home also features a long, covered balcony with seating where you will enjoy spectacular ocean views. This balcony is accessed from the lovely hallway and thus is available for all guests to enjoy. There are 2 other outdoor spaces featured in this home: a covered porch with settee and rocker outside the front door, and a deck with gas grill and seating on the oceanside of the house. There are 5 designated parking spaces for this home with additional parking across the street at Publix.
Need some exercise? Walk or jog across the Usina Bridge where you will have a spectacular view of the Tolomato/Matanzas River, the city of St. Augustine, and pristine Anastasia Island. Swim some laps in our large pool which sits directly behind this home. Please note this pool is shared with 3 other homes in our condo association. Ready for a dip in our beautiful ocean? Follow the private walking path which after a few short steps you will have arrived at our glorious sandy beach! A half mile’s walk in a southerly direction along the beach will take you to the St. Augustine Inlet where you will be able to see the St. Augustine Lighthouse as well as Castillo de San Marcos (fort), the Great Cross at Mission Nombre de Dios, and the city of St. Augustine. What an amazing, unforgettable sight!

We enjoyed the property immensely. We have been going on family vacations for close to 50 years and liked this property more than any place that we have rented. The beach was very close, the house was well stocked and there was plenty of room for our family of 11. We do not have anything negative to say about the property except that the week passed too quickly.
This beautifully furnished five bedroom, five bathroom beach house is one house away from the beach with a large pool that is shared with other beach houses but we usually had the pool to ourselves.
The house is very close to historic St. Augustine which I highly recommend exploring.
The kitchen is so well equipped, so we had everything needed to fix meals for our gang.
All the bedrooms and bathrooms are very comfortable with plenty of bath towels and beach towels. The master bath has been updated and is beautiful. We love this house and will return next year.
Our family of 5 adults and 4 children thoroughly enjoyed our vacation stay in this home. The house had everything we could ask for: kitchen is very well supplied with plates, silverware, pots, pitchers, spice, keurig and coffee pot with filters etc. The house is well laid out with lots of private spaces as well as places to congregate. We loved the balcony and porch upstairs. It is very conveniently situated with a very short walk to the beach, pool and grocery store. They have so many board games for adults and also for children. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pirate and ocean themed floor puzzles. Laura and Jeff were very easy to work with and maintain a lovely home. We highly recommend this home.
This home is beautiful and in a wonderful location! Looking forward to returning one day for a family get together! Shelling this Thanksgiving week was awesome! Loved our stay!
My family and I loved staying here. The proximity to the beach is perfect (steps away), the floor plan is so friendly for all ages, the outdoor spaces are perfect for naps or games...so lovely. Will stay again for sure! 100% recommend.
We rented this house in St. Augustine to attend my niece’s wedding. My husband and I, our adult children, significant others and granddaughter. The house was perfect for us. Some wanted to be in n the beach and some wanted to be by the pool which made the location perfect! Enough space to spread out but also warm spaces to hang out together. The house was well stocked and very clean. We loved the balconies! So convenient to have a Publix across the street and my granddaughter and I took a morning week each day to the coffee shop and then the pier. A great way to start the day. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay and for always answering my many questions quickly!
This was the second year we stayed in the Vilano Beach house. The house is beautiful and owners are very accommodating. It is also convenient to the beach and Publix and the kids loved the small pool which is used by only the houses surrounding it. Our whole family really enjoys staying there.
Perfect location for our family Christmas. Convenient to Jacksonville airport (1 hour). Well appointed, plenty of everything. Owners were very helpful and caring.
Perfect for families with young children. Very accommodating with baby, toddler and teen stuff. Perfect location and easy beach access! Everything was clean and has all amenities we could need! Thanks for sharing your home!!
My Dad, myself, and 6 other friends spent a long weekend in this home. It's clean, well appointed, and has a great, convenient location to grocery, restaurants, and St Augustine. The owners are pleasant, and helpful. Will book again.
We were very pleased with everything in this beautiful house! Plenty of room for family and well-stocked with paper products, etc. Access to the beach was wonderful. Special thanks to the owner for answering all my questions ahead of time--very helpful!

Great house, on the beach and only 2 miles from city!
This house is in the best location. Steps from the beach and a quick Uber or car ride to the city. Lots to see and do. House was perfectly appointed. Did not need to worry about anything during our stay. Would highly recommend.
The home was absolutely perfect for us. So clean, right across from Publix . The owners were extremely responsive. We loved all the separate decks and places to hang out, and even enjoyed a game of Scrabble on the wall board. The home was endlessly stocked with everything one might need. We would definitely stay here again.
Our family of ten, including four young children had a wonderful stay in Vilano Beach at this house. The house was just right for us, with lots of room. It was spacious and very well equipped, located between the beach and pool-perfect! And having Publix across the street was fantastic. We can’t recommend this house and area highly enough. Will definitely be back!
The house was perfect for our family reunion. The only criticism I have is that the Bar B Que Grill was too dirty to use which was disappointing because we had planned on doing a lot of grilling.
This was the best vacation my family has ever had. the house was perfect in every way, from the location to the floor plan. we had three family's to include 2 children under 2 YOA and everyone had the space to stay without knowing anyone else was in the home. the common area, kitchen dinning room and living room accommodated everyone at one time. Host went over and above to make this a perfict vacation.
The pictures truly were spot on. The home was well equipped and we'll maintained. The hosts were readily available for questions. They provided essentials such as toilet paper soap and paper towels. They provided a list of restaurants with reviews. Would definitely stay again
