Beachcomber Penthouse at Vilano has an ideal location situated along the seashore in the small beach town of Vilano Beach. A few steps from the Penthouse stairs is the sea-oat lined path to the nearly secluded beach. A short seashell collecting walk along the seashore to the south will bring you to the Inlet and a view across the river of St. Augustine, it's Bayfront, the Fort and it's historic skyline.

Also, near the Penthouse is the entrance to a walking/biking boardwalk under the Vilano Bridge into the Vilano Bach 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. For a special evening, oceanfront and riverfront restaurants are within 3 miles from the Beachcomber Penthouse at Vilano.

Vilano Beach

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The room was clean and ready for us upon our arrival. The view of the ocean from the room was beautiful. Just one thing as a side note, the stairs at night were dimly lit making it hard to navigate. Overall it was a nice experience

R and R and "Me" Time

The amenities and room was perfect for my stay which was mostly being camped out, reading books and listening to podcasts when not enjoying the beach. It was a perfect size for 1 to 2 people and equipped with a King Bed which was very comfortable. I felt safe and cozy. The hospitality was great and the daily check-ins via text and email were thoughtful as well. It was definitely a 5 star experience and what i needed to recoup from my work and personal life demands. Very refreshing!

The location of this apartment couldn't be better if you love a quiet neighborhood and proximity to the beach! We could hear the waves from our room and loved it. The apartment was clean but somewhat dated. Our host was a great communicator.

Great location, dated interior, beware of stairs

Overall we had a very enjoyable stay due to the distance from the beach and Publix grocery. The bed was very comfortable but difficult to climb into.We would have liked to open the windows, but the windows were unstable.Coupons offered had expired.The stairs were sometimes hot, slippery and difficult to navigate. Having non plastic forks would have been ideal.

We absolutely loved the Penthouse. Beach is literally steps from the door....the views and sounds of the waves absolutely peaceful. The owners extremely attentive and timely with any questions. A little welcome coffee, water, coupons, and free local attraction tickets with a personalized note was so surprisingly nice touch. We WILL recommend to our friends and family and we WILL be back in the very near future. They had everything we needed right in the Suite.
