This is the cutest house in the perfect location, right across the street from the beach! The owner left so many cute touches - a spot for your flip flops, yoga mats, and even a dog blanket/supplies! We thoroughly enjoyed our quick stay and hope to return and spend more time in St. Augustine. Thank you for hosting us and providing the perfect spot for our quick Thanksgiving trip.

Perfect for weekend getaway

Very clean on our arrival, easy access, quiet neighborhood with an extremely short walk to the beach (1block) and close to downtown St Augustine! Kitchen space is very tight but but this place is great for shorter stays!

Great cottage near thebeach

We really enjoyed the location and space. It was a short drove to historic St. Augustine but only a 1 block walk to the beach. It had everything we needed for 2 people and 2 small dogs. The house is compact but very functional.Thank you!

Nice and dog friendly house, green space and parking. We prefer a softer bed ourselves and wished for a bit more water pressure, but the house location was absolutely perfect for beach access, where your furry friend is welcome while on a leash, and the bonus benefit of a dog park about a block or so away!! Kitchen had more supplies than normal which is always a plus! Extra USB and electric plugs for multiple device charging. Great place to stay if you’re looking for multiple beach days, as the night life is usually done by 9 or 10 pm. Walk down for a sunrise, with a cup of coffee for the start of a wonderful day. Enjoy the proximity and relax!

Still a great place….

Second time to the property for a weekend getaway and still happy with my stay! Priced right, close to the beach, close to the grocery store and less than a 10 minute drive to downtown St Augustine! If available when we need it we’ll be back!

Surfside

The house fit all of our needs. Modern kitchen with all the basics we needed even enjoyed the grill a couple of nights. Made full use of the beach chairs that were provided. Quiet neighbor with a short walk to a great beach. Easy to get around with a grocery store close.

Felt like we were guests at a friend's house.

A nice little beach house with everything you need for a comfortable week's visit (including beach towels & chairs & more). Publix is close by and the kitchen has everything you need for eating in. There are lots of restaurant options.The beach is 2 blocks away (an easy walk). House furnishings are cheerful. We enjoyed our stay.

Very Nice Bungalow

My wife and I were in Punta Gorda for the winter we decided to make a stop in Vilano for a few days to check it out on our way home. We saw this house on VRBO and decided to rent it. We are glad we did. It is a very nice home. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. It is also steps to the beach and very close (walkable) to downtown restaurants and fishing pier. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved It!

It was amazing! The house was extremely clean and the walk time to the beach was accurate. The amenities in the house were more than what was listed, which was fantastic! Our pets had everything that they needed plus some. The beach was quiet and we could actually enjoy our time without loud noise and a lot of people. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact. We 100% recommend staying here and will definitely be back!

New Orleans Road Trip

long road trip, spent 3 nights here. everything previously mentioned is true. very close to the beach, quiet neighborhood, actually very nice inside with good sized rooms. what I really wanted to say here is that staying at hotels & houses comes down to the details. it's the little things that you start to notice. of everywhere we've been, this is in the top list: unlimited coffee, dog blankets, fluffy towels, very well organized and labeled, kleenex and soap.so keep up the good work, people notice and it matters.

Lori was very gracious and the Surfside Cottage was ideal for our small family trip to St. Augustine for the celebration of the USA's 250th birthday! It was very clean, spacious enough for 4 adults and a big dog. Plus, the added convenience of walking to the beach or to the Vilano pier area was great not to mention such a short drive to various restuarants and shopping. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
