Beachcomber Penthouse at Vilano has an ideal location situated along the seashore in the small beach town of Vilano Beach. A few steps from the Penthouse stairs is the sea-oat lined path to the nearly secluded beach. A short seashell collecting walk along the seashore to the south will bring you to the Inlet and a view across the river of St. Augustine, it's Bayfront, the Fort and its historic skyline.
Also, near the Penthouse is the entrance to a walking/biking boardwalk under the Vilano Bridge into the Vilano Bach Town Center. There you can stroll down palm tree-lined Vilano Road (Vilano's "Main Street") along sea-colored sidewalk pavers to the Vilano Pier which offers beautiful sunset views across the river to Historic St. Augustine. You can also fish off the Pier. On your way back through the Art Deco/Florida Vernacular-styled Vilano Beach Town Center, stop in for a great meal at one of five local restaurants ranging from pizza to Chinese to Italian to seafood. Or pick up picnic/snack items at the Publix Grocery, which includes a deli, liquor store and a pharmacy. Back at the beach enjoy swimming, sunning, surfing, fishing and skimboarding. For a special evening, oceanfront and riverfront restaurants are within 3 miles from the Beachcomber Penthouse at Vilano.

The location is perfect to walk on the beach, stores are nearby, and local attractions are just across the bridge. The pictures are exactly how the inside looks and the view of the sunrise was amazing!
This place was in a great location to the beach, only feet to the beach path! You could see the ocean from the windows. The property was as advertised but the units below it looked like maybe long term rentals and somewhat disheveled, with bags on their decks, etc. however we felt safe and would probably return. The fridge is more of a college student’s size, fyi for those needing it.
Beach view marginal. The add is a bit misleading. There's really no outdoor space to enjoy the view, what little view there is. The property looks very unkempt compared to everything around it, for that value. The number of stairs is insane, but we managed. The tub/shower is dangerous (extremely slippery) The penthouse, itself is in pretty good shape.
Perfect private quiet rental for a couple to get away. Nice view of the ocean from room. Close and easy public beach access. Located right next to the bridge to St Augustine.

Spring Break Getaway
I stayed at the Penthouse on Beachcomber on Vilano Beach. Really nice place, quiet and a great ocean view!
We had a wonderful time staying here! It is the perfect location, so close to the beach and near the bridge so we you can get into downtown. The host provided everything we needed and communicated very well! We will definitely be recommending and visiting again!

Great location
Very convenient location literally steps away from the beach and minutes from the Historical.
Excellent location with easy beach access. The beach is perfect and the place was quiet and very clean with a very comfortable bed. Everything we needed was provided. The owner was very sweet and made sure we had the most pleasant stay. Highly recommended!
The penthouse was perfect. It was cozy and a nice quiet area.

Perfect Penthouse
The beach just steps away ensures a beautiful Sunrise view. I love the walking distance to so many places including downtown St.Augustine right over the bridge.

Excellent location
This quiet, cozy location is a perfect get away for a couple. The beach is right out the door and all the town center amenities are right across the street.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The room was clean and ready for us upon our arrival. The view of the ocean from the room was beautiful. Just one thing as a side note, the stairs at night were dimly lit making it hard to navigate. Overall it was a nice experience
We really enjoyed the beautiful view and non-crowded beach. The room was super clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well every night. We also appreciated the beach chairs and extra towels. We would absolutely stay here again if in St. Augustine.
Great little bungalow with beautiful views of the ocean.
Convenient to stores, tennis court , restaurants and steps from the beach.
The unit was immaculate and had a terrific mattress too.
The location of this apartment couldn't be better if you love a quiet neighborhood and proximity to the beach! We could hear the waves from our room and loved it. The apartment was clean but somewhat dated. Our host was a great communicator.
