The intra coastal water access public boat ramp "at the other end" of Boating Club Rd. St. Augustine's beaches stretch from Vilano Beach north of the city to Crescent Beach in the south. The Intra Coastal Waterway naturally divides the mainland from the barrier islands with miles of gorgeous coastline. Vilano Beach is a locals "best-kept secret" offering a wide variety of waterfront restaurants, several within walking distance from our spacious home. The Vilano Beach Fishing Pier, para-sailing and Sea Doo rentals and city several parks are also in close proximity to the house. You can charter a deep sea fishing boat or a sailboat from this area. Vehicles are permitted on the beach within designated areas. For our boaters, multiple public boat ramps are also nearby. Our unique home with its deep driveway is a perfect place for those who might trailer their boat from out of town. The Sunshine House, offered by the Addison's & Kenner's, is only a 1.5 minute walk to the beach (thru county maintained private beach access) and 8 min's from downtown Historic St Augustine and all the best kept secrets of Vilano Beach has to offer.

Perfect home for a fun beach getaway

This home has everything you need to have a fun, relaxing and enjoyable beach weekend. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, perfect for our group of six adults and three young children. The beach is just across the road and was lightly populated during our stay. There is much to do in nearby St. Augustine. We were very pleased with are stay here and highy recommend it.

This is the 8th VRBO we have rented and it is probably the nicest one in terms of interior design, layout of the spaces, and the utensils and supplies/beach equipment provided. The host was very accommodating in allowing us to arrive a little earlier and staying a little later than advertised. The short distance to the beach means that it is a quick walk back to the house if you forget something. We highly recommend the house.

A beautiful house at a great location

Our vacation practically began the moment we secured our reservation. The communication with the owner was effortless and friendly, setting a positive tone for our getaway. Upon arrival, we were delighted to check in a bit earlier than expected, and when we stepped inside the beautiful home, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, from cozy furnishings to charming decor, making it feel like a true home away from home. We were pleasantly surprised to find flip-flops ready for our beach adventures and an umbrella for those unpredictable weather days. Our stay lasted a blissful three nights, filled with relaxation and joy, and we are already looking forward to returning to this wonderful escape in the future.

Gramma O'Brien's Family Beach Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. With 10 of us there were plenty of bedrooms for everyone to have personal space. The kitchen was spacious so we could prepare and serve meals easily. The beach was so close with so few people that the children had so much open area to run and not bother others.Thank you for letting us use your wonderful beach house.

Great stay

We have rented properties for vacation each year for the last 5 years. Judy and Rick’s property is by far one of the best we have rented. Everything in the description was accurate. Access to the beach is right across the street and a quick 2 minute walk. Communication with the owner(s) was great. Highly recommend.

Beach house

House was very clean and close to the beach. The one drawback was having to cross A1A to get to the beach. Cars zoom down the roadway and most don’t care if you are waiting to cross. We enjoyed our stay and the house was great for our family.

Great vacation

My family and I booked this listing for our first ever family thanksgiving holiday retreat… so very pleased with the property… across the road from the beach and a short driving distance to the fort and all the activities. The home was clean and all bed linens were provided along with a washer and dryer, right down to the laundry soap. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary dishes, utensils, cups, glasses and pots and pans. It really was the perfect choice for our family. I will definitely book this listing again if we are back in the area for another vacation.

Really enjoyed our stay

We had five adults and two dogs over a three-night Christmas stay. The house is very accommodating with space and function. Much attention has been given to having everything you need to feel at home. It was nice to have plenty of supplies, and no long list of checkout requirements! The kitchen is well stocked - we were able to cook almost as easily as if we were at home. The upstairs bedrooms are spacious and laid out nicely; also a great plus to have a master suite downstairs as well as the one upstairs. The home is very clean, and in great shape. Vilano Beach is a nice, quiet spot to enjoy only a few minutes' drive from the downtown St Augustine entertainment area.
