About this property
Spacious Seaside Cottage w/ Sunroom – 1-Minute Walk to Vilano Beach
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.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Comfortable Living Spaces & Sunroom
The home is designed for real comfort, with multiple places to gather, relax, or spread out after a day outdoors.
The main living room features comfortable seating and a large TV—perfect for movie nights or relaxing after the beach.
One of the standout spaces in the home is the bright sunroom with vaulted wood-beam ceilings and multiple seating areas. Filled with natural light, it becomes the natural gathering space for coffee in the morning, card games, reading, or simply slowing down between adventures.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen is set up for easy beach-house living, whether you’re preparing breakfast before heading out or cooking dinner at home.
Guests will enjoy multiple dining options throughout the home, including: • A four-seat dining table in the dining room • A four-seat table in the sunroom • A four-seat outdoor dining table on the patio
The setup makes family meals and group dining feel flexible and comfortable without everyone being confined to one space.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Outdoor Living
Outdoor space is part of what makes this stay feel special.
Enjoy the covered front porch, private patio, outdoor seating, and grill for laid-back evenings after a beach day. Upstairs, the balcony offers partial ocean views and a peaceful place to enjoy coffee while listening to the nearby sound of waves.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Sleeping Arrangements
This two-level home comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests across three upstairs bedrooms.
Primary Bedroom: King bed, 40” cable TV with DVD player, walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, private balcony access, and partial ocean views. Wake up to the peaceful sound of nearby ocean waves and step outside to start your morning.
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, 40” cable TV, and direct balcony access.

Very good

The house was amazing and provided all the accommodations we needed. Being close to downtown was really nice and provided an ideal location for the area.
The location of the home was perfect to the beach, just minutes down from Publix and only 10-15 minutes from the City Gates of St. Augustine. The house was extremely clean and had plenty of space for a big family. This being said the house is older, sections of the floor on the second level dip and in the room with the two twin beds gives a lot at the entrance of the room. The balcony off the second floor seemed unstable; we didn’t feel 100% about it, so we didn’t use it. The beds were not comfortable, they were clearly older spring mattresses. Overall, the owners/property management keep the house extremely clean and for the cost we would stay again.
We had an amazing time and it was much closer to the beach then we thought!!! Check in was easy, communication was great and we enjoyed our stay immensely! Will definitely book again when we visit the area - which is fast becoming our favorite area to visit!!!
Very easy rental and check in process. Property could use updates. Mattresses on twin beds very uncomfortable, to the point we went and bought an air mattress after first night. Also couldn’t use sunroom as it isn’t air conditioned.
We so enjoyed the proximity of this home and yes it felt very homey and comfy. We were able to see the ocean from the balcony upstairs off the 2 bedrooms . Bedroom 3 is on the other side of the house. It took a minute walk to get my toes in the sand and the ocean. You can walk to Publix its so close. The rooms are a nice size and there is plenty of seating in the living room and the sun room. There are resturants nearby. You are right across the bridge from the old jail and we were able to park in the free lot and jump on the trolley for tours. We were also also able to get to the parking lot next to down town St. Augustine without having to drive in all the traffic to park. They had a Kerig and a regular coffee pot. I would give it a 5 but the home needs some updating, but to honest that did not bother us, it was clean and maintained. The price was right. I would stay here again.

Birthday Wknd Vacay
Property is outdated but clean. Proximity to beach is great. Restaurants in area close early and most don't take reservations. There was no hair dryer in unit as advertised. Bathtub and shower VERY small. AC didn't work. Called property manager and was told technician would be sent immediately. Called 1 1/2 hour later only to be told that they were waiting on the owner to approve a call to the technician. It was 81 degrees in the unit and we had not been there all day!! Was offered a forced move to a hotel but this was a very short weekend trip (2 nights) with our sons and at 6:30 p.m. the last thing we wanted to do was waste the rest of our vacation packing up to move to a hotel and unpacking again. We would have required 3 hotel rooms so we requested a credit for 1 night stay instead - probably less expensive than 3 hotel rooms. Was told someone would get back to us. It's been 7 days and we have not heard a word! At this point, would not recommend VRBO or VACASA.

Outdated. Kinda a bummer.
House is meh… Extremely outdated.Dripping main floor vent every time the upstairs toilet is flushed. Eek! Huge 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 supple beach towels by the door. Not stocked with basics. No coffee, tea, sugar… dirty coffee pot and teapot. Fridge is new…but too big for the space. Odd. Really strange layout and 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 invest
