Cozy place! Me and my big family had a great time at this property! So much we didn’t want to leave to see the city just so that we could enjoy the amenities it provided.
Mother in law came to visit with some accessibility issues. House was a great setup for multiple adults w/w/o kids... backyard peaceful with plenty of shade or sun whichever you prefer. Cannot beat location for access to beach/food/grocery store etc. We are local residents and definitely recommend this rental for what it shows it to be.
This home was absolutely amazing and perfect for our Anniversary weekend and our daughters birthday. Home was immaculate and so comfy. Plenty of room for us and her friends as well. Loved walking to the Beaches Tiki bar ever night! Had one issue and the owner had the service people out in like an hour. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again!
The house was very responsive to my concerns about the hurricane. The house is lovely and very functional for a family. She provided beach equipment, which was very helpful. Kitchen needs to be better supplied. I'm sure it will be For the next guest. Some work was being done to make it more child friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
Our family of five with dogs had a wonderful time. The host was fabulous and very responsive the couple of times I reached out. Very responsive!! Lovely home set up perfectly for our group. The location cannot be beat. Far enough away from crowds but within five minutes of being back into the heart of Saint Augustine. Daily walks down to the beach half mile away could not be beat. Two nice restaurants within walking distance, pier for fishing and groceries 3 minutes away! No need to say more. Highly recommend and we will rent again if we return.
Thank you to our host!!
Our kids and grandkids got together to celebrate a birthday and have some beach and fishing adventures. This house was perfect for everyone to spread out. My son and his wife got the upstairs apartment, since they have a baby, and they enjoyed some privacy and quiet, away from the other kids. The house was well furnished and very spacious. The backyard is huge and private. Plenty of towels and supplies were provided. The location of the house is very near the pier, the Publix, and a short walk to the beaches, restaurants and shops. Eliska, the property manager, was very kind as well as responsive, and was a pleasure to communicate with. This house was a perfect hub to enjoy all the many nearby attractions and nature, and super comfortable for extended families. We were very happy with the house and location. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Beautiful spacious home, with multiple TVs, large dining table and large sofa in living room. Two Kitchens! (no dishwasher upstairs). Walking distance to fishing pier (to the west) and beach access (to the east), Publix (grocery store and liquor store) within walking distance. only limited dining options within walking distance, but a short drive to many nice places...including downtown St. Augustine. The property manager was responsive. The only negative was the dining room chairs were a little hard (no cushions) which made it less comfortable to sit at for long periods of time (to play games). My wife and I stayed with our two adult children, their spouses, and our 12 year old granddaughter...beach chairs and beach blankets were available.

Such a delightful well equipped house with personality plus! Plenty of activities for the kids of all ages. Beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
The property was perfect for a family gathering. The location is great. Walking distance to Publix,the pier, restaurants and the beach. It was great for kids and the backyard playset was so nice to have. We roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and had the best time during our stay!
Our family of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space to be comfortable and spaces available if anyone needed some alone time. House is in a Great location, within walking distance to Vilano beach, pier and eateries.
Great place for our group of friends and family. Nice, quiet beachy Vilano Beach atmosphere with easy access to St. Augustine itself. Eliska is a great host, very responsive to any questions we had.
Perfect location close to the beach, fishing pier and downtown St Augustine attractions
Owner answered all questions before and during trip promptly. 3 Br 3 Ba was perfect for our 3 family couples. Kitchen and dining great for gatherings as well as private outdoor space. Would come again and recommend. Very clean and well furnished.
The location is perfect for strolls to the beach, local pier, restaurants, fishing charters, Publix supermarket, shops and quick drive to downtown Saint Augustine and all it has to offer! Owners are great and so very accommodating, quick to reply and make sure you have everything you and your family need to have a great vacation! We will be back for sure!
The host was very nice. It is in a really cute neighborhood and really close to a nice beach. Eliska was even willing to let us have an early check in which was really helpful since we had been traveling. The house was spacious.
