Step onto the balcony and take in beach and ocean views while the breeze moves gently through the air. Mornings unfold with coffee and conversation, afternoons drift between shoreline walks and poolside breaks, and evenings settle into quiet moments under the Florida sky. Tucked into the Vilano Beach community yet within reach of historic St. Augustine, this home offers space to gather and room to unwind. Sorry, No pets. Outdoor living A private pool anchors the outdoor space, offering a refreshing place to cool off between beach outings. Pool heat is available upon advance request for $40/day. From the balcony, you can enjoy shifting light over the beach and ocean, a comfortable vantage point for sunrise reflections or the softer tones of late afternoon. Beach essentials - beach towels and chairs - make it easy to head out for the sand, and free parking on premises for up to four vehicles keeps arrivals and departures simple. Living spaces and entertainment Inside, multiple levels create natural separation for both together time and quiet retreat. The first floor features a dedicated entertainment area with an HDTV with Roku, ideal for movie nights or relaxed downtime after a day outdoors. Wifi supports streaming and remote work, while central air conditioning, heating, and ceiling fans help maintain comfort throughout the year. A washer and dryer add convenience for longer stays. Kitchen and dining The kitchen offers a comfortable space where you can cook your own meals, with room to gather around the dining table and ease into unhurried dinners. Whether preparing a simple breakfast before the beach or sitting down together in the evening, the layout supports shared time without feeling crowded.

The setting Located in Vilano Beach, you are a short walk from sandy paths and coastal breezes, with scenic beach, ocean, and pool views woven into daily life.

We had 11adults and we did not feel cramped. House was less than a city block from the beach. Beds were verycomfortable. House needs some updating with regard to plumbing issues in the master bedroom, dishwasher not in good shape. We found the refrigerator filter not working and the microwave light not working. Deck needs some attention. Some floor boards are raised. Pool was clean and had a good seating area. Need more bath, hand and kitchen towels considering the number of people this house accommodates. Kitchen needs oven pans, hand strainer, and serving spoons. We like to cook and found that the kitchen utensils were not sufficient to prepare meals for 11 adults. We had a great stay though and recommend this house for family reunions. ##### Rosalie P. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Alice B. 9 Aug 2023 #### Second Wind Pool/Beach House Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house in an ideal location, just a few yards from a beautiful and quiet beach! The pool is large and very private, surrounded by nature. All bedrooms were of a good size and very comfortable. The living areas were large and spacious, and easily accommodated our 11 person family. However we had a couple of maintenance issues. The upstairs fridge was not functioning fully and was only repaired after the second technician arrived, two days after it was reported. The upstairs main bathroom leaked water into the downstairs game room, and it appeared as if this had happened previously due to water marks on ceiling. We would have preferred more recycling trash cans, as well more basic amenities such as toiletries in the bathrooms. We would be very happy to stay here again if these issues were resolved. ##### Mary Alice B. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Suellen F. 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I would really give it a 4.5\. We truly enjoyed our stay and overall it met our needs beautifully. Location of house and access to the beach were great! Pool area really entertained the grandchildren! There were maintenance and cleanliness issues that were needed before our arrival. ##### Suellen F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### D.L.

The house amenities from the kitchen to the pool were top-notch. Property distance to the ocean was a one minute walk. We will look forward to our next stay and our next opportunity to work with the property management company. ##### D.L. B.

Reviewer Comments: This was a great vacation home for our trip. Clean and spacious with a great location for us. Beach access was only a few steps away, it was very quiet and a short car trip to downtown. The pool was a perfect size and the kids enjoyed the family room downstairs. I will certainly recommend to friends. ##### Terry S. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline D. 10 Dec 2020 #### FANTASTIC stay! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What an amazing stay! This beautiful home has more than you can imagine. The location is to die for. The porch looks out to the ocean and a Castle type building behind. The pool is surrounded by trees and private. Cooking was easy with three generations, fully stocked and spacious. Cleanest home we have ever been in. The beach was in the middle of renourishment and the host moved us to the home site unseen and we are thrilled she did. Holley and Gretchen both responded in seconds to any question or need that we had. We traveled with my older grandparents and steps are difficult. They did stay upstairs and enjoyed sitting on the outdoor deck but it would have also been an option to stay on the lower floor with very large room options. I wish we brought more people with us as the game room would have been great for NFL Game day. We will definitely be back. ##### Caroline D.

I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice and had most everything we needed. Access to the beach was very convenient and they had a wagon, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc.The pool was great and completely private. There was plenty of space for our family (11). The separate hangout space downstairs allowed the teenagers to watch movies, play video games, etc without disturbing anyone upstairs. The deck was large but could have used some shade in the afternoon. Joanne, the property manager, was very responsive to all our needs. We had an issue with one of the AC units and they had a service guy out within 30 minutes ona Saturday evening. Christopher the maintenance manager took care of a couple little items when he was there working on the AC. ##### David D. From a partner site ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nadine F. 5 Jun 2023 #### Second Wind by the Sea Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in an ideal claimed. The house itself, however, was a complete disaster. There was NO A/C throughout our entire stay. A part needed to be ordered. I have documented info stating the house SLEPT 16 people. It clearly did not . The info at the house stated it slept 12\. That is the truth. The Wi-Fi info I was given was wrong. There were only two umbrellas outside and one of them was broken. When we arrived garbage outside was strewn all over the outside yard and I had to call to have someone clean it up. All in all it was a total disaster. Five of our guests rearranged their flights and left two days ahead of schedule It was stifling hot in the house. ##### Nadine F.

It was clean, the linens and towels were great - nothing threadbare or scratchy here. The layout of the home is perfect for families with older children. One suggestion I have would be to have a couple flashlights in prominent places. An electrical storm knocked out power soon after our arrival. It was very dark, phones were dying and we weren’t familiar with the layout of the house. When you want to visit st Augustine but not be in the city, this is a perfect spot. ##### Karen T.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was clean and well-appointed. It was just as described. The hosts have made it an easy place to stay. Bikes and beach toys and pool floats were a nice touch. We lacked for nothing to make us comfortable. Beach access was excellent for all of us, but the entrance to the beach was a bit steep. Not a problem for any of us but perhaps some trouble for an older grandparent, something to consider if you have a guest with mobility issues. Very close to St. Augustine too! Such a great property! ##### Melissa F.

Reviewer Comments: My group of 10 women stayed at Second Wind for 5 nights and we loved it! The house was extremely clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable, towels were plentiful, and the outdoor space was amazing. We did have a few disappointments in that the ice machine wasn't working, nor were the outdoor speakers, and we needed to buy a battery for the chirping smoke alarm when we arrived (we did find one in the kitchen a few days later), but they were easy to overlook considering the relaxing and wonderfully appointed house. My group and I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Second Wind! ##### Amy L.

The property was exactly as portrayed; very clean! The pool was amazing. The ice maker and large cooler were clutch for boating days. We all loved the location; close to St. Augustine downtown but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful at night. We enjoyed the quick 2 minute walk to the ocean. There were several wonderful restaurants within walking distance as well. Highly recommend this property! ##### Katelynn S.

Reviewer Comments: I rented this house for myself and grown children and families. This house was beautiful; tastefully decorated and CLEAN! I have to emphasize clean as I am a clean freak. The bathrooms and kitchen sparkled. The floors were squeaky clean and bedding was fresh and white! I had no problem laying my head down. There were also plenty of supplies: towels, paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo etc. The house was very spacious and adequate for my three daughters, their husbands and four grand babies. The location was great. Directly across the street from the beach and a five minute walk to see the sunset! A five minute drive to a small shopping center with grocery and restaurants. And only 10-15 minutes to downtown St. Augustine. We did have an issue while we were there. I contacted management via text and was answered immediately. We went out for the day and when we returned the issue was taken care of and the house cleaned up! The pool was great. However I suggest calling ahead to make sure they turn on the heat as it takes at least 12 hrs to get to temp. We went two days without use of the pool. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend. We had a wonderful time! ##### Shannon K.

This place did not disappoint. Gretchen thought of everything. The pool was excellent, beds were so comfortable, and every beach item you can think of was in the garage for your convenience. The most used item in the house was the ICE MACHINE! You never had to go to the store for ice which was awesome for a big family. I highly recommend. ##### Cary S.

House was extremely clean. It was well stocked with everything we needed. The kids had so much fun in the pool and it is so private which we loved. The beach access is just a cross the road and a short walk so we walked the beach every morning. We would definitely recommend this property. ##### Betsy M.
