Overview
This property is professionally managed by CasaGo First Coast.
Welcome to your laid-back Vilano Beach retreat—tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just four homes from the shoreline, where beach mornings, salty air, and relaxed coastal living come naturally. This spacious two-level beach home offers the kind of setup that makes vacations easy: multiple gathering spaces, outdoor areas to unwind, and quick access to both Vilano Beach and Historic Downtown St. Augustine.
Unlike tighter beach rentals, this home gives families and small groups room to spread out while still staying connected. Spend your mornings by the beach, afternoons exploring St. Augustine, and evenings grilling, relaxing on the patio, or listening to the nearby sound of waves from the upstairs balcony.

Steps to Vilano Beach
One of the biggest advantages of this home is the location—just four houses from Vilano Beach and about a 1-minute walk to the sand.
No long walks, no beach parking stress, and no crowded public access points. Spend the day coming and going from the beach whenever you want, whether that means morning walks, afternoon surf sessions, shell hunting, or sunset views.
Vilano Beach is known for its quieter atmosphere, beautiful coastline, and relaxed local feel while still being minutes from downtown St. Augustine.

Rating
We liked that the house was close to St. Augustine but away from the crowds of people.
The location was fabulous - short drive to the trolley tour parking lot, and several restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. I hope the single size mattresses are replaced for the next guest, however. You could feel every spring when lying on those two mattresses.
The house is conveniently located and only a short walk to the beach without having to cross any roads.
Dripping main floor vent every time the upstairs toilet is flushed. Eek! Biggest disappointment ~ Can’t hear the ocean at all. Just street noise. Can see a sliver of the ocean through the houses on the end if you stand on the deck. Not as nice as advertised or what the photos show. Garage parking is difficult, very low ceiling. Very dated - popcorn ceiling, uneven flooring, dirty vents… Difficult to get in - lock instructions not clear and confusing. Long code for front door and separate key for the awkward door into the garage where the washer and dryer are. Rusted floor vents. Bubbled bathroom wall/paint. Dated coiled mattress in twin room. Needs new mattresses. When we stripped the beds (as per property management request) we noticed that ALL the pillows were stained and/or ripped. Thin scratchy towels. Not plush. But did supply beach towels by the door. Not stocked with certain basics like coffee, tea, sugar… dirty coffee pot and teapot. Fridge is new…but too big for the space. Odd. There were enough toilet paper rolls and a roll of paper towels. No Kleenex. I also appreciate the liquid hand soap in two of the bathrooms. It was nice to have 3 toilets. But two of the bathrooms are quite a tight squeeze. Really strange layout art and furniture choices. No idea where the tennis court or gym is that’s advertised in description…maybe they have a connection with the resort down the street??? Walking distance to food and coffee and groceries. Seems like a cute decent mostly quiet neighborhood. Proximity to the beach is nice. We loved walking along the beach at sunset and sunrise. Unfortunately, won’t be back to this location. Would be a great vacation investment property to remodel and update!
Location was great and it was quiet . I would recommend this home.
We stayed here for our Christmas trip. The home was clean, comfortable and quiet. The location was great, very close to the beach and only minutes from downtown activities. Absolutely no issues at all! We highly recommend this property and Vacasa!
