We enjoyed a long New Years weekend at this beautiful third floor unit in Vilano Beach! The location is very convenient to St Augustine but much quieter. Everything you need is nearby and beautiful beaches only a short walk away. The unit itself was clean and well furnished. The bed was really nice as well! Communications were fast with all questions answered in a very timely manner. We are completely satisfied with our stay and plan to stay there again in the future!

This quiet, cozy location is a perfect get away for a couple. The beach is right out the door and all the town center amenities are right across the street.

The loft was such a nice place to getaway for the weekend. The steep stairs were safer than I had imagined them to be. The morning views from the bed was just what I had expected to wake up to in the morning and was why we booked this location. There was a little kitchenette that we did not use but good to know for the future. And the location was perfect, close enough to St. Augustine that it wasn't a hassle but far enough that it was restful. This might just be our secret annual getaway.

The host was wonderful. She informed me about where to swim and hike. Made sure that I got help bringing my cases to the third floor studio. A member from the Vrbo company drove 40 minutes to bring down my cases to the car when I left. The ocean can be seen and heard from the studio apartment. The beach is not crowded at all. Stores and restaurants are nearby. The studio itself is very well kept. Wonderful stay!

My husband and I booked this trip for our 2 year wedding anniversary and it was perfect! Perfect location, 10 min from downtown St. Augustine and a 2 min walk from Vilano Beach. We could see the ocean from our room! Property had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! If you’re thinking about booking this property, do it! Thank you for such a great stay.

Close to everything, beach is just steps away. 8 minutes to the old city parking garage. Easy check in, bed very comfortable, large shower/tub. Quiet area, far away from public beach area so you have a lot of open beach to enjoy.we have a large truck and we had no problem parking in the reserved space parking.
Definitely recommend it for a get away. Owners very responsive

This a a terrific property. The customer service is top knotch! Lovely ocean view from the exterior door stoop! The condition is very tired and worn And in need of refreshment. Well overdue for upholstery cleaning, floor replacement and detail cleaning. The door mats are nasty. Would be nice for the host to provide a few bottled waters and disposable coffee cups/reg cups.

this was our first day in Vilano Beach. This unit is a two minute walk to Publix and several great restaurants that we went to. The unit itself is very comfortable with a great view of the ocean and a 32nd walk to the beach. hope we can make it back there soon!

Beautiful unit and accommodating. Amazing view from room. Close to town but very quiet. Quaint restaurants within walk-in distance. We walked down to the beach but could not get on due to safety issues. The beach was washed out due to last years hurricanes..

Both the property and photos of property should be updated. First if you show photos of the bathroom and a Jacuzzi bath tub is in the photo, you get there and it does not work, you complain and you are told we did not list the Jacuzzi tub ? The photo of the kitchen show a pod coffee machine, so you bring all your favorites. No pod coffee maker, but a very used "Mr Coffee" type unit. No TV first day/night had lost it's wi-fi connection? Pillows for a King bed were standard and well worn and flat, making for a bad night.Only sink in Bath, faucet handle came off in wife's hands, and drain would not work. First impressions when you walked into unit, nightstand on left side of bed, the door was pushed all the way into N.S., it is supposed to open out. From there it was all down hill. Mgr.Rene, who came out next day, was very nice. She got the TV connected and the Bathroom sink all working. They should list a bed height, as it is very high, if you are under 6' good luck. If it was not for our Creator giving us excellent weather and 2 beautiful sun rises. It would have been a wasted trip.

Perfect spot for a long weekend getaway. Just a few steps to the beach, and close to downtown. Place was clean and quiet with a nice view of the ocean.
4.0
The property is situated perfectly for exploring Vilano Beach and all of St. Augustine. The wi-fi was great. But other than that, I wouldn’t recommend this for longer stays. There are several dents and scuffs in the walls as well as the wall being chipped around an outlet. The beautiful stained glass window pictured in the listing has since been replaced by a normal window with a huge crack in it. The unit was not clean upon our arrival, there were hairs in the bathroom and a huge coffee stain on the wall near the kitchen. The extra blankets had not been folded nicely but instead wadded up and stuffed in a cabinet. Most of the solar lights on the staircase up to the unit are either missing or not working. The bed is very high so if you’re short or have mobility issues, it would be nearly impossible to get into. The dial for the jets in the bathtub don’t work because one is missing entirely. The “cool” sink fixture is actually not attached to the sink at all. It’s just precariously sitting there until you inevitably bump it and because of it not being attached to anything, you cannot stop up the sink. All in all, we loved the location and the view but practically speaking, there is nothing luxury about this place. We were offered some free area attraction tickets for our inconveniences but our trip had already been fully planned so this was of no use to us.

David is an incredible host, always very prompt to reply. And the place is incredible: close to the beach, quiet street and very clean. Will definitely go back. Loved it!

This is a studio at the top of an owner occupied home, with it's own outside entrance. We found this cozy retreat met all of our needs and worked perfectly for our vacation. It is very close to St. Augustine, FL, so the quick drive was very easy and convenient. The location was quiet and secluded which was a nice reprieve after a crowded pre-Halloween weekend in St. Augustine. This unit is also steps from the a quiet and clean beach. I feel it was the perfect balance of going into St. Augustine for the busy tourist activities and relaxing in our quiet rental at the end of the day. Plus many days started with a pleasant walk on the beach. The only concern is if you have any mobility issues or small children. Due to the two flights of stairs to get to the unit it is not recommended to either of those groups. This rental is managed by iTrip, which was our first time using them, they were very attentive and responsive and I would recommend them and this unit if you need a quiet stay in this area.

We had a very Dreamy view right from our front porch that was perfectly elevated just enough to see the ocean front right from the porch.
In walking distance from the room to the beach.
Loved the bathroom and the amazing jacuzzi bath tub and shower!!
amazing stay and would definitely stay again in the future!

This is a special place to us. Hurricane Ian pushed us out on day 2 so that was a huge bummer but we will always come back, we love it that much. Always clean, cozy and just yards away from the beach. Perfect for a couple’s getaway.

This was a wonderful place to stay for our visit to FL. Although it was short everything was great, plus the place was right next to the beach. Hopefully we can come back soon.

Nice little hideaway
Goods: Nice little hideaway in St Augustine. Property was in a quiet location on the beach and easy to access.
Others: (1) air conditioner cut of twice during the visit with some type of failure and I had to reset with the circuit breaker
(2) jacuzzi bath is dirty and needs to be cleaned
(3) recommend reversing the refrigerator door to make it easier to access. It is easy to do with a screwdriver and pliers.
(4) lights in the ceiling over the refrigerator don’t seem to work
Overall, a very nice stay and I’d stay there again.

Best location, steps from the beach.
Property was so close to the beach. Great location! Enjoyed taking our personal cabana and chairs down to the beach every morning and playing in the surf. Communication with iTrips was good. So many great restaurants in Vilano Beach. Cap's on the Water and The Reef were our absolute favorites.

We really enjoyed our stay; however there were a few issues. The lock on the front door is very difficult to unlock and needs to be replaced. We almost had to have someone come help us get inside. The location of the property was great, but the inside was not exactly as pictured. (Fake peeling stained glass, loose and dated fixtures, etc.) Also, the bathroom floor was sandy upon arrival and the cleaning crew left supplies strewn around the room. I will say that the managers were responsive. The owner was also very friendly.

Penthouse at 30 Beachcomber was absolutely perfect! The pristine beach is footsteps away. The space was beautiful and had every amenity needed. The bathroom is luxurious and the bed is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. We could not have chosen a better place to enjoy our time in St. Augustine.

Great Place To Stay!
As first timers to St. Augustine, the Penthouse welcomed us to warm beaches a 30 second walk away and a downtown experience like no other. Our first impression of the area, along with a clean, quaint, and private room, will keep us coming to St. Augustine for years to come.

Beautiful home close to beach, attractions and everything you may need for your vacation. Owners were very attentive. Answered questions timely when we emailed. This helped us plan our trip. Very welcoming and available should you need them. (We enjoyed talking with them about the area, they were sweet to give us tips and suggestions of local attractions etc...). Clean! Would definitely stay here again.

Awesomeness all around
Clean, more than comfortable with perfect location. Walked to town about 3.5 miles over the bridge. Saw dolphin every day.
Only thing missing was another packet of the delicious coffee that we started our trip with.
