About this cottage rental

New Ownership - Charming 3/2 cottage located in the historic Surfside Community of Vilano. Once this home belonged to the Capo Family who brought visitors from downtown St Augustine across the Intercoastal on a ferry to the beach in the 1920’s. Today, you can enjoy the vintage vibe, with modern conveniences. Only 2 min walk to Surfside Beach! Under new ownership, formerly a short term rental for years. See Airbnb for current reviews since purchase last year. I am a Superhost with the other guys ;). One small dog will be permitted with a $100 non refundable pet fee.

The cottage was great, it suited our needs and was within a very short walking distance to the beach, beautiful fenced in backyard. The beds were very comfortable, the bedrooms were clean along with the bathrooms. The location from town was perfect! There were a few things that may need updated but overall it was a very nice home and would absolutely stay there again.

Our almost 2 week stay at this property is summed up in one work - perfection! We love the Vilano Beach area and was so happy to discover this property. Our intent was to enjoy the sun, sand & surf after getting through a long, cold winter, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. The property is literally a stone’s throw away from the beach, and we took advantage of its’ location morning, afternoon & evening! The quiet beach is fabulous with sand to sink your toes into & shells to collect, and perfect to walk our fur baby, not to mention spending lots of time crashing into waves! Joey was fabulous to communicate with, always prompt in answering any questions we had - but to be honest, the property was so awesome, we didn’t need to reach out at all! It was clean, spacious, had all the amenities we needed & the enclosed porch area was a perfect spot to read a book - it truly was our home away from home :). I also want to mention that the property is located in a nice, quiet, safe neighbourhood with its’ own park - we felt very comfortable walking the area. It is also located less than a 5 minute drive from Publix which was very convenient. We cannot wait to return next year - thank you Joey for everything.

This little cottage was all you would need. Joey and Christian were welcoming, helpful owners. There was nothing more that we could have wanted. We asked for help with the TV and some other small things and they were there that very day. Kudos to them!

The house was in a perfect location for us. Just a short walk to the beach, a short drive to grocery, just across the bridge from all the sites of St. Augustine and close to many seafood restaurants. The house had plenty of space especially with the extra enclosed sunroom. Very clean and well decorated. Owner made sure we were able to get in and was great at communicating quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean (other than dishes, many of which needed to be washed again - host probably assumed if people put them away they were clean) and well decorated. Comfortable and lots of room. Kitchen well stocked. Lockbox very easy to operate. Host easy to communicate with and wanted a text to make sure we got in - which I appreciate. Left us some coffee and tea, water, and a bottle of wine. Very close to beach and great off street parking. A little weird that both bathrooms are inside bedrooms, but I know old places can be hard to add bathrooms to. We were two couples so it did not matter. Only issue was when we arrived the smell of air freshener was overwhelming and obnoxious. There were 5 plug in fresheners in the main area!! We unplugged all of them and it gradually faded. Were worried that it was covering something but it was not. Cottage smelled just fine and very fresh once perfume faded.
