About this property

Joy Joy's Vilano Beach | 5-min walk to quiet beach

Spread out in 1750sf at this FLORIDA-STYLE BEACH RETREAT that screams RELAXATION. Fit 6 people spaciously in our 3BD/2BA home nestled between the quiet, Vilano Beach & perfect sunsetting Intracoastal waterway. Take full advantage of the convenience of a 5-min walk to the beach, 2-min walk to the Intracoastal for sunsets every evening, and enjoy cocktails, sunbathing, & FL breeze on the 2nd floor deck or entertain downstairs in the spacious courtyard w/ hot tub, both protected by a large lanai.

Joy Joy's Treehouse is a two-story home that struts unique, interconnecting balconies, patios, courtyard, outdoor space, massive lanai, modern furnishings, and great location all into one functional space. Overlooking the garden, foliage, and trees that surround the home, the upstairs is the main living area and features an open floor plan that houses the family room, dining space, and kitchen with plenty of space to relax, prepare a home-cooked meal or watch a movie on the big screen TV. From the vaulted ceiling to the wall of windows bringing the canopy of green in your yard into the entire upstairs, it feels like you are perched in a treehouse among the treetops.

The Master Bedroom is also located on the 2nd Floor and includes an ensuite bathroom, a private entrance to the 2nd-floor deck, and a brand-new, memory foam, king bed. Downstairs features both guest bedrooms and a full bathroom. Guest Bedroom 1 has a brand new, memory foam, queen bed, while Guest Bedroom 2, is equipped with a brand new, West-Elm pull-out sofa queen bed with a memory foam gel mattress. Each bedroom has its own private entrance to the outdoor courtyard where there is plenty of space to sunbathe, relax, BBQ, or rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower. The courtyard also features a hot tub for 6, so don't forget to take a relaxing soak before you hit the hay! You can also access the courtyard from the spiral staircase on the 2nd-floor deck.

During your stay, we will provide all the beach essentials, including beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, umbrellas, beach canopy, coolers, and an oversized beach cart to bring everything you need to bring to the beach for the day.

Wonderful relaxing home close to St Augustine

My wife and I had a great stay here for a few days. The house is wonderful - very clean and one of the best equipped VRBO's we have stayed at. Loved the Lanai - peaceful and a great spot for that morning coffee. Quiet neighborhood and a few mins walk to either the intra-coastal (and sunset views) and beach. Also only 10 mins drive to downtown St Augustine. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to come back if we are in the area again.

Great relaxing break

We just arrived from a vacation at Joy Joy’s Vilano Beach vacation home and we had a great time with our daughter. The house has all that you need to have a relaxing stay and still feel like at home. Communicating with managers was great from the start and the area is very quiet, at walking distance from the beach and near a nature environment that invites you to just breath. Thank you Michael and Joy for making this a memorable weekend! Be blessed!

Amazing Vilano Beach Experience!

We were so pleased with our experience at Joy Joy’s Tree House in Vilano Beach! This home did not disappoint. You can tell the hosts take pride in this property-such beautiful decor and comfortable furniture. The home was incredibly clean (cleanest VRBO experience ever)—it smelled wonderful when we arrived and all of the linens also smelled amazing. Everything was labeled or had instructions, which we really appreciated. All the light/fan switches were labeled, the trash versus recycling bins were clearly marked, and there was a very helpful welcome binder full of useful information regarding the home/area. While we didn’t do much cooking during our short stay, the kitchen was very well-equipped. The home has a really unique floor plan with an amazing outdoor living area. The enclosed lanai and landscaping were amazing. The spiral staircase was a hit with our children and the outdoor living space was so inviting. There were plenty of beach items provided-from beach towels, to chairs, to boogie boards! Plus a great wagon to pull everything in and it was just a few blocks to the beach. Vilano Bech was awesome and not crowded at all. The hosts really made us feel welcome and at home as we were greeted with a welcome gift and a handwritten note. There were even bottles of water and chocolates by each bed! They were very responsive to calls/texts. You could tell that they really love the St. Augustine area and wanted us to, also, which we did! We were so sad to leave and hope to make it back someday!

Perfect for visiting St Augustine

Place was exactly as shown in pictures. Five minute drive to St Augustine historic area. You can tell owner takes care of this property. Would definitely stay here again. Weather was a bit chilly so we did not get to experience the beach on our visit but it was right up the road. Great place!

Great place to stay

My husband and I traveled with our daughter, son in law and 2 year old granddaughter and wanted to stay close to the beach. This was perfect! Clean, spacious home with comfortable beds and large rooms. Kitchen had everything we needed and we were especially happy to see the property came with a wagon and beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. Walk to the beach was a little long for the 2 year old so we drove and parked at the public parking and loved the quiet beach area. Great place to stay!
