We absolutely loved everything about our trip to St. Augustine! The house was beautiful, clean, spacious, and the perfect location. We had amazing views, could walk to the beach in minutes, and the grocery store was just across the road. The beach was never crowded and we enjoyed walking around to the marina to watch the boats and dolphins. The pool was the perfect size too and the kids really enjoyed the pool toys. We can't wait to visit again!

Very nice and loved the top floor balcony. Just a quick walk to the beach made it a very fun and easy family vacation

Thanks for a great stay! We're just home from our family beach week at the Vilano Beach House. A week at the beach is one of our favorite family traditions and this large family-sized house is our new favorite. It's really close to the beach (so important with kids and all the necessary beach stuff), well-equipped, very comfortable, with great family gathering spaces, quiet places to get away, views of the ocean, and the added bonus of a second refrigerator. We enjoyed the shared pool (usually the only ones there). The grill was great and we loved having two refrigerators. The fact that Publix was a 5 min walk was an added bonus. Can't wait to come back to the Vilano Beach House.

We had 9 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 pre-teen celebrating as a family 3 of us adults turning 50 this year. The location of this house is great. Easy and quick walk to the beach and just across the street from Publix. The kitchen was well stocked (could use a muffin pan) and beds were comfortable. Only change to website description is that one of the three bedrooms on the bottom floor has a queen and a double bed and a private bath. Then there’s a double bed in a small room (not really a bedroom as it has no closet). It is around the corner from a full bath. We loved having the second kitchenette area downstairs. Management was great at answering our questions before we arrived. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

This is our second year we had our family reunion in this house in St Augustine! We love the house, ( perfect for a large family), the beach ( just a few steps from the house) , and the publix across the street. Owner/manager is very easy to contact should we need them! We’ll be back next year!!

It was a nice stay. Issues were addressed.

When looking for a house for our family trip , the main goals were beach within walking distance and a pool, plus rooms for all of us and our grandchildren. This house has it all. The bottom floor has 3 rooms. Our daughter and her husband, and the grandkids had that floor. It had a small kitchenette. It gave them the room that they needed with 2 little ones. The main floor bedroom was spacious. The kitchen, dining room, and living room area was perfect. The wrap around porches were awesome. 3rd floor suite with private balcony was amazing. Having 2 little ones we utilized the beach and the pool a lot. It was so convenient to have a grocery store and shops, and restaurants within walking distance as well. Considering it was a dog friendly house, it was very clean, no odors . We had a little glitch with the air conditioning the first night and Brian our property manager had it fixed promptly. This was a great house for our family to have our yearly trip together.! Vilona Beach is beautiful, and still a small little beach town, that has not been taken over by a lot of tourists. We walked to the pier every morning, rode our bikes around town. Convenience to get to St. Augustine was a plus as well. We made wonderful memories there, and hope to be back again.

We have stayed in all 3 of the houses in the compound and love them all!! Had an A/C issue upon arrival and they had repair man there fixed within an hour of calling - so wonderful!! We love the easy access to the beach - and the Publix. Will continue to seek out these houses for our annual end of school year trip!

There were eight of us and plenty of room to choose our sleeping accommodations. Very neat setup, three stories, with two master suites. There was a kitchen on the main floor and Also there was a kitchenette on the ground floor which was nice bc of a second refrigerator, and coffee pot! They came in handy. The saltwater pool was great and the walk to the beach was short. If I had a beach wagon, I should have brought it. Publix is just across the street which was super. Very walkable to the marina and various restaurants. Our last night, We ate at the Reef, a couple miles up the street, and that was superb...great atmosphere and great food. We made a great choice to stay at the Vilano Beach house....Loved St Augustine.... well worth the trip.

Despite being 50 yards or so from the ocean, there is no mold/mildew feel since it's been recently remodeled! The top level has a beautiful view of the ocean. Two master suites with king beds, and then the rest of the beds are single/double (no queens) so probably plan for kids to double up in those instead of adults. The owner was very helpful! We would rent from them again.

What a great place for a large family vacation! There were 12 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. The pool is right outside the back door and the beach is a short walk away. The Publix is within walking distance which was nice when we just needed ice for the coolers. Would definitely recommend!!

Love the area, the house was close to town and short walk to beach

This house was clean, spacious, and a great location. Our group had an amazing experience!

Wonderful Spring Break destination!

As usual, had an awesome stay. Enjoyed time with family at the beach, by the pool, and just relaxing at the beach house on the porches. Great time!!

Group gets together to enjoy the Daytona 500

excellent place

Overall the home was very well maintained and supplied. There were a few maintenance jobs that need to be handled: the toilet in the bedroom on second floor has a broken seat, some of the bedroom doors are missing door handles and most importantly the light switches are not matched with the actual lights. A switch is turned on and nothing happens, a switch in the off position turns on a light and visa versa, If you are a person concerned about safety you should be told ahead of time that many locks did not work and a pipe in place was the security. This home is perfect for several families and proximity to the beach was wonderful. It was nicely stocked with plenty of towels. The dishes were way up high in the cupboard. If you did not have a tall family member or a step stool, you were out of luck.

We had a great time at this property. Plenty of room to spread out, short walk to the beach. Great places to eat and visit nearby. The house comes with everything you will need for a short stay. Highly recommend.

The house is spacious so easily accommodates a large group of people. Had everything we needed to cook large dinners and the grocery store being right across the street was very convenient. And the beach just as close makes this a perfect location. A quick drive over the bridge is downtown St. Augustine.

My family had a great vacation here. Right near the beach. The house was roomy and comfortable with lots of room to spread out. The third floor is really cool for some privacy. You can see the waves from the balcony. The floors all looked new and were beautiful and clean. We did find some things in disrepair but they are easy fixes. We had an issue with small ants, but sprayed pesticide and put baits out. That alleviated the issue. We found some used tissues in one of the dresser drawers and a stain on one of the top sheets which was a little gross. Otherwise everything was clean and comfortable. All the initial supplies (paper towels, toilet paper, soap etc.) were of good quality and plentiful. The appliances all worked. It was as advertised and a wonderful vacation over all. Thank you!

Would definitely rent this property again for family atmosphere, cleanliness, location, beach access. All ages had a great. Publix within walking distance also made it easy to pick up last minute groceries. Loved this property. Management was easy to access and answered questions quickly .

The location was clean and well stocked. Close to dining and a Publix right across the street. We will stay here again.

The wifi never worked. Broken window treatments, cabinets doors, very worn paint on outside rocking chairs with rust showing. Kitchen was very disorganized. This can be a very nice property if updated.

Such a great experience for large families with their own space. The wrap around decks are great for entertaining. Beach is within walking distance. Kitchen is well stocked. Very clean. I would definitely recommend and stay at this location again.

Great location, fantastic week, interesting weather made the beach and waves incredible.

With no working phone and no reply to my emails, it started off sketchy. A bathroom that smelled like urine, roaches in the bathroom sink, ants on the bottoms floor, a non working tv and the smallest tv I have ever seen in a master. No smart tvs either. That being said, great location! We perfect amount of space for our 3 families. Pool was nice and super convenient! The tvs were disappointing and they could use updates fixes on things but nothing would keep us from renting again

Pros: Location and size of house were great. It was also very clean. Short 2 minute walk to the beach on a nice path. Publix in walking distance and restaurants super close-a few are in walking distance. The house is in a beautiful enclave of beach homes! Quick drive to St. Augustine!. Lovely clean beach!! The house is dog friendly which we appreciated. Cons: Property needs some work. All adults in our group are homeowners, and some have rented homes so we do understand the woes as well as privileges of home ownership. The kitchen was not well supplied. The listing includes an ice maker but there were no ice makers. There were 2 trays in one freezer. There were no glass wine glasses or a wine opener. The dishes were a mismatched assortment. The main dining table had only 5 chairs for a really large house. Another small table was a high top so chairs could not be interchanged. Many ceiling light bulbs were out. Some of these issues were brought to management’s attention early on but we were told no one could come out. Overall: Our large extended family of 5 adults and two teenagers had a wonderful vacation. The house issues were definitely a nuisance but didn’t prevent our enjoyment as well as a great beach vacation!

This property was a huge disappointment! My family and I walked into a dirty home that had a terrible smell. Walking in on the bottom floor leaves a lot to be desired. The house needs to be updated from mattresses(one even has a huge hole in it) to pillows to TVs to linens(mismatched and not enough) to proper maintenance(i.e. broken curtain hooks throughout, random hooks hanging on the walls, broken towel rods,etc). The porches would be nice if they had more seating(some rocking chairs were broken). A full inspection needs to be done to make sure there is no mold in the home. The top floor was damp and there are black dots around the vent. To make things worse, we found sand in 2 of the beds and trash i The pillows are stained along with the pillowcases. The carpet on the stairs was said to be new but it was incredibly dirty and had a bad smell. One of our guests actually cut their foot on something the 1st night. None of the lights on the porches work or aren't there entirely. Utensils on the grill were dirty. The kitchen was dirty(utensil holders, oven, and microwave). I contacted the property manager who was very defensive. They offered to send maintenance/housekeeping but no one ever showed(despite speaking with them on the phone). He thought I told them not to come which is not true! We had to spend an entire day to get the property to where we felt it was okay to stay. I wish we had asked for a full refund at the beginning so we could go elsewhere. There were no other available homes or places to stay on that short notice. Discussions with the property manager are still ongoing and also leave a lot to be desired. Do not expect to feel heard or that they take your issues seriously. He will focus on the positive reviews(which are shocking; most still say that updates need to be made). The only redeeming factor was the pool and the close proximity to the beach. I was asked the value I thought the home was worth and I believe it to be half. In no way did i ask for that amount. There was also a misunderstanding on the Host's part. He was so focused on reviews and I mentioned that we had the potential for 8 negative reviews. That was not meant as a threat or a way to receive compensation. It was merely the reality of the situation. Discussions are still ongoing with the property. They offered a refund of the cleaning fee and then reneged. Save your money and your vacation by not going there!

many drape tiebacks broken, rusty straight pins holding top of drapes together, oven dirty, outside hose/shower not working, floors dirty (everyone's feet were filthy after removing shoes inside), locks on sliding doors don't all work (rods on track to keep doors closed), cabinets on bottom floor very unorganized, cabinet doors in kitchens broken, Kureg still had water in the compartment and a k-cup in the lid, no door lock on bathroom, TV's are all very small. I know these might seem like minor issues, but they are easily fixed and relatively inexpensive. first impressions are important, and I believe that some maintenance should be done immediately. Having said that we thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation. We wouldn't have a problem staying there again, just needs some TLC and upgrades.

Loved the location for getting into St Augustine, 200 steps to a mostly private beach, publix across the street. Perfect. We all had a great time and all our kids said they would love to come again next year.

The convenience of the grocery store right across the street, as well as the liquor store and ocean, was amazing! Plenty of space for the 10 of us, we couldn't have picked a better spot! :)
