About this house rental

Nestled in Vilano Beach, this lovely house for $1,006 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Watch the dolphins play in the surf from this spacious 5-bedroom, 3 bath home situated in the quiet neighborhood of Porpoise Point. With the beach right in your backyard, you will find this vacation spot to be your home-away-from-home! The large and inviting living and dining areas open out onto a roomy ocean front deck with a variety of seating options to soak up the sun, take in the panoramic views and enjoy the ocean breeze. And you don't need to leave the views behind when you go inside. The house features a fully stocked kitchen that also includes a blender, stainless appliances, granite counter tops, and bar counter seating for 5 that is open to a large dining table that seats 8, giving you a variety of indoor and outdoor choices for your morning coffee or a great family meal. When it is time to feel the sand between your toes, a quick stroll through the back yard takes you to a private boardwalk that leads you to miles of beach in just seconds. The beautiful, pet-friendly beach at Porpoise Point is a great spot for all of your favorite beach activities, whether it’s swimming, surfing, fishing or building the sandcastle of your dreams. Plus, if a little more seclusion is what you are seeking, a short walk to the tucked away inlet beach with its expansive views of Historic St. Augustine is the perfect destination. Back inside the home, the 3rd floor master bedroom provides a spacious retreat with a king bed, a private bathroom, plenty of closet space, and a private terrace that looks over the front of the property. Just outside the master bedroom is a large relaxing loft area with a gaming table and a queen sofa sleeper overlooking the living area to the fabulous ocean views! The views from the loft will take your breath away! The remaining 4 bedrooms are on the 2nd and 1st floors. They include two bedrooms with queen beds on the second floor next to a large bathroom, and a king bed room and adjacent bedroom with two twin beds on the first floor next to a guest bath. The house will comfortably sleep 10 in beds, and there is a sleeper sofa with room for 2 more. There is parking in the driveway for 2 cars, plus a 2-car garage that you have access to. When it’s time to take a break from the beach, take a stroll down Vilano Road and you will find a full-service grocery store (Publix), liquor store, surf shop, and several restaurants. If you continue down Vilano Road, you will find yourself at the Vilano Pier. Here you can do some intracoastal fishing, enjoy the amazing sunsets or just take in the views of Historic St. Augustine that lies minutes away just over the Vilano Bridge. In St. Augustine, America’s Oldest City, you will find countless restaurants, shopping, attractions, and more. For a change of scenery, a variety of state parks and nature preserves are just minutes away offering excellent fishing, paddling and wildlife viewing as well as miles of scenic trails for hiking and horseback riding, and the home is just a short drive away from world class golf, including the world famous TPC Sawgrass! What can we say, this location has it all ! So whether your vacation includes antiquing, water sports, nature, golf, or just working on your tan at the beach, you are sure to find it all here!

Excellent location!! The kitchen was well-appointed and plenty of room for everyone. We had a wonderful time! Made some lovely family memories! However, when we arrived, the door in front of the dryer was off its track and the handle to the glass door of the shower downstairs was broken. Only gave a 3 star for cleanliness of the home.

Our family had a great time during our stay. The easy access to the beach was fantastic! There is a Publix 2 minutes away making any food needs convenient.

The house was very comfortable and accommodating. It showed its age but that did not affect anything. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our Florida Family and it was wonderful to be back on hometown turf. It was close to St. Augustine and almost right across the street from a large Publix in Vilano.

We had a wonderful 2 week stay! - loads of great surfing and fishing as this house is close to the jetty / inlet and 4x4 drive-on beach access. We are used to renting in Vilano so we bring our own Fishing rods, boogie boards, chairs, beach towels etc. although this property seems well equipped for out of state folks and so close to Publix and other stores right over bridge. There’s a hose at base of stairs that lead up to deck for rinsing off and a hose up on the deck as well. Wonderful sunrises from deck each morning! Short easy walk down to the beach. We Brought a baby gate to keep dogs from escaping down side stairs off deck. A permanent gate there would be a smart addition for kids / dogs. SOME SUGGESTIONS: more hooks in bedrooms / bathrooms. Needs some Luggage racks, and a good broom to keep up with sandy floors. and Better pillows! We also had to clear weeds from path and prune overgrown plants from walkway to beach so owner should have some basic garden tools there to use ; hand pruner and sharp shovel. Coffee maker is old and should be replaced as it does not have auto shut off. Toilet in upstairs master needs some repair to keep it from running continuously. Overall we really enjoyed this house and it’s location ☀️

Very disappointed that they do not provide any beach towels (had to buy some at Publix) and no usable beach chairs ( the ones in garage are totally rusted and not useable without getting rust all over the towels). The dishes in kitchen are chipped and the house needs some updates. The washer and dryer are ancient. It is a great location directly on the beach. I would say that the internet pictures make it look nicer than it actually is.

We loved the location. This place is tucked away in a quite neighborhood with little to no traffic. It’s half a mile away from Publix and two restaurants. Just a short drive to the historic district. We would definitely stay here again.
