About this property
Private Garden, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Walk to Beach, Minutes to Historic Downtown, $300 in Free Tickets
We help make the most of your vacation by providing Free Admission to some of the area's top attractions each and every day! Create exciting memories, have more fun, and truly experience your destination! See below for more details!
Take a relaxing vacation in this newly renovated and freshly furnished townhouse nestled between beautiful Vilano Beach and the intracoastal waterway! The House of Shells features an open and inviting floor plan with vaulted ceilings and modern, beachy decor. Best of all, enjoy a private oasis in the backyard equipped with private hot tub, outdoor dining, grilling station, covered pergola, fire pit, and tropical garden! You will find everything you need for your vacation including a fully stocked kitchen, clean and fresh linens, bathroom amenities, and beach supplies. Whether you are looking to fill your days on the beach, which is just a short walk away, or enjoy the sites and sounds of historic downtown, this home will provide you with a place to kick back and relax at the end of the day. This rental comes with a FREE FUN package which includes one free entry to several top attractions, such as The Alligator Farm and the Old Town Trolley Historic Tour, each day, all just minutes away.
Just down the road is Vilano Beach Town Center. There you can stroll down palm tree-lined Vilano Road (Vilano's "Main Street") along sea-colored sidewalk pavers to the Vilano Pier which offers beautiful sunset views across the river to Historic St. Augustine. You can also fish off the Pier. On your way back through the Art Deco/Florida Vernacular-styled Vilano Beach Town Center, stop in for a great meal at one of five local restaurants ranging from pizza to Chinese to Italian to seafood. Or pick up picnic/snack items at the Publix Grocery, which includes a deli, liquor store and a pharmacy. Back at the beach enjoy swimming, sunning, surfing, fishing and skimboarding. Be sure to check out the popular riverfront restaurant with dock and water views, Caps on the Water, located less than half a mile walking distance from the home.
**PET POLICY: Only dogs are permitted, and must be approved by management PRIOR to booking. You must inquire with the number, weight, and breed to get approval before you book as some breed and size restrictions apply. A pet fee will be required upon approval.

Ride Ripley’s Red Train around the area and take in the historic beauty of Downtown St. Augustine! Explore the oldest fort in the continental United States, the Castillo San Marcos, and stroll down colorful St. George Street filled with shops and restaurants of irresistible local flare. You might even spot a Pirate or Spanish Conquistador in period attire! Breathe in the warm, salty air as you enjoy a romantic walk along the waterfront as the sun sets, casting its final rays on the sparkling water, the drifting boats, and the picturesque Bridge of Lions. But don’t forget to make good use of the night by experiencing the Ghost train or Haunted House tour. Enjoy the endless variety of restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, art, book stores and more just a short drive away from your front door.
