About this property
Vilano Surf Shack
Located just steps from the beach in Vilano Beach town center just off A1A and a 2 minute walk to beach to shops and restaurants.
It's a funky little space. It really isn't big, but it comfortably sleeps four, and is VERY close to the beach and you can see the ocean from your window. However, you should be really close with your traveling companions because there really isn't a lot of privacy between the two sleeping areas. It has a motel-style kitchen. (Toaster Oven Microwave, Fridge and Coffee maker)
We live upstairs and have overly friendly puppies. The only time you may encounter them is when we are in the shared courtyard. As much as we like our puppies, we don't allow them or any other pups in the surf shack.
(NOTE: Pictures are out of Date. I am going to be taking new ones. The bedding is different because we just replaced it.)

Hi, we are Mike and Lea. We have been locals here more than 30 years. With higher property taxes and insurance here in Florida, we set up this space to help us maintain this very costly residence. Thanks for helping out and we hope you enjoy your stay.
