Vilano Beach is the new "chic" beach place to be. Located in North Florida but still small and private. Great restaurants, grocery store, shops, parks, museums and much more near by. Just 5 minutes to historical downtown St. Augustine and 1 hour to Jacksonville Int'l Airport.

Two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a pair of twins. This beach house has been in our family for over 30 years and we know you'll enjoy your stay! Perfect set up for two guest with plenty of room.

Beautiful oceanfront duplex for two! The bright living room and oceanfront deck were our favorite; open concept with dining table, counterspace, all essentials in kitchen. Communication was easy and informative from beginning to end. Owners bought ice and placed in freezer for our arrival because the maker was not workingthoughtful essential! They even mailed back dresses I had left in the closet. Highly recommend for a few night get away!

About the host

Hosted by Chip and Cindy

Host profile image
We love staying here when not busy working. This second home is just a short distance from where we live in Jacksonville but feels like a world away when we are sitting on the back deck!

Why they chose this property

No long walks to get to the beach. You are ON IT! Your deck is right there. No views are blocked! Enjoy your stay at our recently remodeled home away from home. We look forward to making your getaway as enjoyable as possible.

What makes this property unique

Close to town and everything you need yet still private and serene listening to the waves and seagulls. Lots of personal touches in this home make it more special for your time away.
