Map & Owner's Profile
Ponte Vedra Shores, West One Block to the Ocean
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Vilano Beach
We have been traveling for 25 years to this location and would love to retire here. Ponte Vedra Shores West is a small residential subdivision. It is peaceful, quiet and close to Flagler Hospital, Historic Downtown St. Augustine, beaches, malls and airports. There are constant activities going on within 20 minutes. It has a little bit of the 4 seasons and far enough north that we usually do not get hit with the hurricanes that tend to hit the lower part of Florida or come up the Gulf Coast. Disney and other theme parks are close by for day trips. Cruise ships are up to one hour north or south. Bayard Dog Track & Poker room is aprox 15 miles north off US1
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
I enjoy being able to have my window open and listen to the ocean as we fall asleep. You can hear song birds in the early AM. Get up walk on the beach and see the sun rise. Many residence walk over the Vilano Bridge in the evening catching the sunset while crossing the the rising moon coming back over. In the evening we can relax in our private hydro spa or have cocktails in the screened in porch. We can walk or ride our bikes to local restaurants, the Reef, Caps on the water, Aunt Kate's and the beach. Launch your boat half mile away at Kate's Restaurant/bait house formerly Oscar's. On the weekends you can usually watch the small engine planes doing their sky acrobatics. Many activities always going on with 10 miles. The Reef Restaurant for Ocean front dining half mille away, Cap's on the Water Restaurant on Intercoastal half mile away. Castle Otttis half mile away. For the best homemade soup around you will have to stop at Twocan Terry's. Guana State Park is only 3 miles north with all of its trails. We are not on the mainland and in a very quiet residential area. So if it is peace and quiet you want you will love it here.

Relaxing Week With the Family!!

Review Submitted: 08/24/11
We had a wonderful week at Vilano Beach! We fished, swam. waterskied, kayaked and just enjoyed being together as a family. We especially loved the backyard, screened-in-porch, out-door-shower and hot tub. This rental unit has all the comforts of home. We will be back!!!
Owner response:Glad all of you had a great time and used the outdoor shower. It has helped cut down on sand going in the hot tub which is almost impossible to get it all out. Hurricane Irene missed us as do most hurricanes and hope they continue to always miss Vilano. You are most welcome back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay in Terry's home! We found the descriptions to be accurate and the home clean and well-maintained. The house was well-appointed with ammenities and supplies, which helped to provide a worry-free vacation! The neighborhood seemed to be a good mix of homes and rental units, and all the pet owners cleaned up after their pets. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach but did get scared one evening crossing the busy road with small children. It was nice to have a parking area right across the street on days that we drove. Before we arrived I worried that the house might be a little small based upon the pictures, but we had more than enough room for 4 adults, 3 children, and our family dog! I think having the bedrooms on separate floors was a good way of giving everybody their own space. My daughter's favorite place was the child's room off the master. The sky light was a nice surprise for her. She and my grandson shared the room and played and slept quite comfortably. Lastly, Terry was great to work with! She answered all my emails promptly and provided good information about the area. We really appreciated her hospitality and look forward to our next stay in her home!
Owner response:I could not tell you had a dog! It's great to know how much all of you enjoyed my place. I really try to keep it perfect for all ages and pets. My grandchildren love the skylight except when it rains. You are welcome back any time and I look forward to it. Glad you had a great vacation.

Great Vacation Getaway

We loved our 6 night stay at Terry's vacation home. It was clean, comfortable and convenient!! We just programed the address into the GPS and went right to the door. It was great to have a parking spot right next to the ramp to walk to the beach because we carted a 1 year old and his 5 year old sister along with all the necessities that go everywhere with them. The kids loved playing in the waves and it was shallow enough that I didn't worry about them getting attacked by sharks. (I'm a grandmother and we worry about things like that!) The restaurant guide Terry provided was very helpful. We really enjoyed Aunt Kate's. I would gladly recommend this spot. When the 5 year old got bored, I asked her how many pairs of flip flops she could count in the downstairs bathroom. That kept her busy for a while. It was great to get away from home for a few days and to share part of it with our daughter and her kids was a bonus. I can't stress again how clean the house was or how helpful Terry was. We will gladly go there again. If you go and are interested in card making or scrapbooking, make sure you visit Claire's Collectables in old St. Augustine. It's in the 4th building south of Dairy Queen, right on A1A. Claire is very sweet and you can spend hours looking at the stamps she has available for sale. Thank you, Terry for allowing us to use your wonderful beach home. It was Awesome!!!

We stayed at this property at the beginning of June - it was honestly a great place. The jacuzzi was a great ammenity, even though the ocean is across the street. Each evening we relaxed in the jacuzzi. The house has everything you need, from utensils to trash bags, to detergent. We'll definately stay at this property again.

The rental was very welcoming! My husband and I usually run around all the time when we are on vacation. This time we were able to relax a lot more the house was clean and comfortable. We were very happy with the rental. The hot tub was great but we don't have one and have never messed with one, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't getting hot. We added some water and it began heating up so if its too cool and won't warm up add water! My dogs also loved the property getting to go out and play when they want and us sit in the shade and watch them was great with everyone. Would be great for anyone!!!

We had a wonderfully relaxing week with my parents (in their 80s and mom has had a stroke so VERY much appreciated this handicapped accessible place) and my 15yo son. Something for everyone. My husband and son had some surf lessons, I had my morning runs on the beach, we all got to have some afternoon beach time with kite flying and boogie boarding, my mom and dad played lots of scrabble on the screened in porch, and the hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed. There is an awesome fish market, veggie stand and bakery just up Rt1 and although there were some great restaurants it was also great fun to grill most every night. Thanks you Terry for helping make this happen so gracefully.

This town house is a block from the beach, 5 minutes away from downtown St Augustine. The location was spot on. Clean and plenty of room. Had every thing you needed at your finger tips. Nice neighborhood. My Dogs even loved it. Restuarants right at you (CAP's on the water is a great place to eat, drink and be merry). shopping in downtown St Augustine and the restuarant/bars were primo. I would recommend this property most definately to my friends and family. Our dogs even got to go to breakfast and lunch with us sometimes and you can't beat that. Terry is an extremely nice lady. At my request, she even found infomation for a veterinarian just in case there was an emergency with the dogs. P.S. We drove over the Bridge on the bay to explore and found lots go places to go on the otherside of downtown. It was just great all the way around.

Owner response:You are welcome back anytime. I have been very fortunate with 99% of the people that have stayed at my place. You, like so many others have treated my place like your own and it is greatly appreciated. You would never know you had two dogs with you. Thanks again

We've been going south from NY for about five years now, NC, SC, Fl. and have experienced owners who it's easy to see stretch the amenities to just get you technically "equipped". But this rental unit is the best we've encountered so far. It is so complete it's as if you're in your own home. Terry spends so much attention to detail that she speaks to vacationers of her respect for them in every room you enter. From the well appointed child's room, off the master bedroom, to the homey dining room and complete lanai, you feel you're at home. Even the hot tub on the patio was clean, hot and waiting for us to enjoy. I've had real disappointments in the past when it came to wireless or ethernet service. She assured me beforehand that I'd have no problem. And guess what? Not only was there perfect service, she even provided a PC! I'm a little late writing this review. Her home came to mind because we are going to buy a new dishwasher here at our own home. Hers leaped into my mind because I remember how quiet it was. I'm going to email her now to recall the brand. That speaks to how she operates, no "landlord special" appliances for this lady. And believe me we've seen all the thrift shop amenities that some owners think will not be noticed. How refreshing to find an owner who really does more than expected. Kudos Terry! Lee and Cheryl
Owner response:You can really write a review!!!! People will think I paid you for it. But, you and Cheryl were there for two months and I am jealous. I do love my place and try to have everything there and more. At times, things do break and disappear but then sometimes guest leave things too. I am sorry that when you wanted to extend for another month it was already booked. Enjoy your summer and thank you for everything even your video on U-tube http://www.youtube.com/user/leeretiree. I hope you do one of St. Augustine and Vilano. Hope to see you all again
