Second time at this property. Great location and great price. House has everything and Joey was very communicative. Since our last stay the town installed a crosswalk with a light so easy to cross the street to beach, which was not a problem anyway, but just sharing.

I rented this house last summer and couldn't wait to rent it again. The communication was excellent. The property has everything you need for a comfortable and peaceful stay with only a 1/2 block from the beach. You can't get better than that!

Vilano Beach Cottage

Great house with an excellent location, close enough to get to St Augustine quickly and far enough away to avoid any crowds. We walked across the street to the beach every day and we ate at many great restaurants, shopped in the Historic District, saw the Lightner Museum and more. We would recommend anyone who is looking for a place in the area to stay at the Vilano Beach Cottage.

Wonderful cottage!

The house is wonderful! It has everything you need and more. It is close to the beach and lots of beach stuff is available for use. The backyard is a great place to sit and relax after a day at the beach or walking St Augustine. The host was very responsive and great to work with.
