About the host

Hosted by William Porter

We live just down the street from this property and fell in love with Vilano Beach about 20 years ago. Got into the vacation rental business by accident, but have really enjoyed it. We now have this vacation rental on the beach, another one in downtown St. Augustine as well as one in the North Georgia mountains in Cleveland Ga on the River. Try one or try them all. Again, this is not our business, but we do a Great job at it. We enjoy it and enjoy meeting people from all over the country. Feel free to give me a call if we can assist with making your decision. God Bless
