Wow! What a beautiful property! Impossible not to be relaxed here. We felt like we had our own private beach for a week. The location is perfect. It was close to everything but it felt secluded at the same time. The photos are great, but in person this place is unbelievably beautiful! Everywhere you look, whatever room you are in, the view is amazing! The hours melt away here. You wont be disappointed. Our family can't wait to visit your little slice of paradise again! Thanks!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Seaglass Cottage. The lovely beach home is quite spacious and very comfortable. The home is quiet and has everything you need for a wonderful stay at the beach.Vilano Beach is beautiful, and we enjoyed long walks each morning during sunrise. I was surprised how close we were to restaurants, a grocery store, and other conveniences. This made things very easy!We highly recommend the Seaglass Cottage for a beach getaway - and hope to visit again someday!

I absolutely loved this stunning oceanfront home! The views are breathtaking and walking straight out to the sand feels like paradise. The kitchen is gorgeous and so well-equipped. One thing I loved about there is you really feel like you’re at home. But still on vacation. The best of both worlds.My mom was visiting from Chicago and loved the house. I think she loves it better than mine lol. Villano Beach completely stole our hearts. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful place. We enjoyed a couple restaurants on the river just a few minutes away. The home itself is just perfect. We truly hope to return soon and would highly recommend the Seaglass retreat for those truly wanting to get away!

Excellent family getaway

This property is stunning. The chance to be directly on the beach every day was exactly what I wanted and that is what we got! The house, beach and weather were perfect during our stay with lots of local restaurants and attractions to satisfy our needs.

Seaglass. Outage is ideally located with direct beach access to Vilano beach. The outdoor porches and beach views are magnificent. The interior is updated and clean. The location is great with quick access to downtown St. Augustine but secluded enough to provide a great overall beach experience.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, Barry. The beachfront location, updated interior and quiet setting are exactly the features that made us fall in love with Seaglass! Add on the fact that Seaglass is 10 minutes to America’s oldest city, St Augustine, with so many fun activities, restaurants and sites to see, and I just can’t think of a better place to vacation! Hope you’ll be back!

The host was extremely welcoming and made us feel like family. Every detail from corresponding with the host to the house itself was beyond exceptional and led to an overwhelmingly positive experience. We absolutely loved how the host took the time after initial check-in to make contact with us and to provide popular tourist options and food recommendations. It only took 2 to 3 hours of being there for my girlfriend and I to start looking at our calendars to re-book. Words cannot describe how incredible the house is kept.

This property is so nice! The view is amazing. The deck with the chairs and table are amazing. Has an umbrella at the table so I was able to have shade but still get sun. The property had everything we needed and so convenient to St. Augustine. Grocery store is within a mile. Loved every minute of it! Our grown children and friends were able to stay on one side and my husband and o had the other side. Can’t recommend this property enough!

The property is multi levels, ceilings are quite low.We have tall people. The outdoor furniture was broken, which they did give us a credit for but there was really nowhere to hang outside that was comfortable. One of the outlets in the bathroom smell like it was burning on day 2. We reported it, but no one came to fix it. So we were not able to use that outlet. Which was the only one in that bathroom? So friends had to use the other friend's bathroom.It's not what we bargained for.
