About this property
Newer Home with Screened Balcony ~ Pet Friendly ~ Steps to the Ocean!
**Beachside Bungalow** is located in Vilano Beach on Veterans Island. No matter where you are, it's just seconds away from the beach. This small, cozy home features two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. Beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture and inviting colors, Beachside Bungalow is the kind of place you'll love telling your friends about.
Vilano Beach is situated just outside the historic downtown area of St. Augustine. A quick drive across the bridge takes you into the heart of the city. While you're heading that way, be sure to take a drive down the stunning Magnolia Avenue, which was named one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Streets in America by National Geographic! Nearby attractions include The Old Jail, The Fountain of Youth, The Great Cross, Castillo de San Marcos, St. George Street, and more. St. Augustine is central to many of Florida's best destinations, making it easy to take day trips to Tampa, Orlando, Daytona, Ocala, Cape Canaveral, Jacksonville, and beyond.
Vilano Beach is also perfect for shell hunting. Start at the southern tip and head north toward Ponte Vedra, passing through secluded beaches that are less frequented. You can watch dolphins play in the bay, spend the day fishing, boating, jet skiing, and enjoying countless other beach and water activities.
**Beachside Bungalow** is a pet-friendly rental that allows two small dogs. Please note that smoking is not permitted indoors; if you smoke outside, kindly refrain from littering the yard.
You will absolutely love this sunny getaway! This newer home is only a few minutes' walk to the beach, providing access to miles of tranquil, dog-friendly stretches of sand and surf. Situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, it's ideal for bike riding and evening strolls. Several restaurants are within walking distance, downtown St. Augustine is just a short drive across the bridge, and a Publix market is conveniently located nearby. Everything you need is easily accessible, giving you ample time to relax and enjoy your vacation.
The house is filled with natural light and offers an open floor plan. The living space extends to both a screened, covered porch and a large open deck, providing plenty of options for sunbathing, napping, dining outside, or enjoying a cocktail to unwind. The second-floor living means you're in the treetops, where you can listen to the breeze rustling through the leaves and the soothing sound of the surf. The location is very private while still being close to all the area's amenities.
The generously stocked kitchen features upgraded stainless-steel appliances and plenty of counter space. There's a large pantry to store groceries, all the kitchen gadgets you could possibly need, and even an electric citrus juicer for fresh orange juice in the morning. The oversized garage offers ample storage space for your vehicles and toys, along with an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in the sun. We have provided plenty of linens and towels for your use, comfortable gel foam mattresses with soft bedding, and ample seating both inside and out.
The home features two bedrooms and one and a half baths. One bedroom includes a king bed, and the other has a queen bed, comfortably accommodating four guests. Enjoy a TV in the living room, a telephone, and high-speed internet service through AT&T U-verse. The property is just about an hour from Jacksonville Airport and is easy to find.

Wonderful Getaway
Beachside Bungalow was exactly as described. Quite, Clean, Secure, but most of all VERY RELAXING. We will stay here again in the future.
The house was a perfect fit for us. Nestled in the trees and with great outdoor patio seating. 2 minutes to the beach and quiet.
Clean and tidy, we loved our stay.
This is a perfect location for a quiet beach that is dog friendly and within a 5 min walk. The house is perfect for four adults and two dogs. We loved the screened porch area and the open planned living and kitchen.
Thank-you for making our family vacation a great experience. The house was located close to the beach and downtown. It had all the conveniences we needed and than some. We enjoyed how friendly the neighborhood was and how dog friendly this area is. I will definitely book the beach house again in the future.

Thanks for the 5-star review! You are welcome back anytime!
We had a great time. Everything was nice as expected and the rental served what we expected as far as cleanliness and utilities. We did find a dead palmetto bug under a dinning room chair.The new lounge chairs are perfect.The owners need to get a new outside grill, this one is rusting out and pieces are falling off. The garage door didn’t work as expected but it didn’t work last time either.We will stay here again . It’s hard to beat this rental.Ed
My husband, our beagle (George) and I love this house. This is our third visit and I am sure there will be more. Very clean, good location, nice neighbor hood (steps to the beach, close to nice restaurants). What more could you ask for?
The description online was spot on for this property. It is in a quiet neighborhood with a very short walk to the beach. This home was very clean! We enjoyed every minute of our vacation at Vilano Beach and our fur baby loved the screened in porch!! Would definitely rent this property again!

Thanks for your 5-star review... you are welcome back anytime!
This was our second visit to Beachside Bungalow. This house is very clean and well appointed. It is within steps to the beach and a five minute drive to two nice restaurants. There are seafood markets and produce stands near by for days when I prefer to cook. Downtown St.Augustine is a short drive for browsing and tourist attractions. Our dog enjoys the new sniffs in the back yard. We had a very relaxing week. So relaxing we are going back in two months.
The house is beautiful with lots of space. Great location with a block walk to a beach access entrance right on the other side of 13th St. Really enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and listening to the ocean waves each night. Garage was nice, making it easy to load and unload especially when raining. Only downfall, kitchen lacked some basic pots and utensils for cooking. Definitely will book this house again.
This was our first visit to Vilano Beach. This home was a highlight of our time there. It is in the perfect setting and close to the beach, as well as St. Augustine, which was just a quick 6-minute drive over the bridge. The home is well-stocked with all you could need. Each day it felt as if we were living in the treetops! It was beautiful to sit on the screened-in porch or on the open deck. The bed in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable. Aunt Kate’s on the river was an easy walk and/or bike ride away. We had a delicious meal there and several beautiful sunsets. When we return to Vilano Beach, we look forward to renting this home again!
