Everything was as shown in the photos and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was also perfect four our puppy with an area for her to roam around and also fenced in. The property manager was beyond responsive and was available with any questions we had. The apartment was perfect for two people and we are extremely happy with how close it was to the beach. We highly recommend to anyone looking to book a place by the beach.

This home was exactly what we were looking for in an extended weekend get-a-way for two. The home is steps from the beach and all the beach necessities are provided, though we did bring our own. The area is close to the downtown historic district but far enough away to be nice a quiet. Everything we needed was provided and the home is nicely decorated and outfitted.While we did experience the overwhelming smell mentioned in another review, we do NOT believe it is mold in any way. We believe it is more of a chemical smell, used during the recent renovation. We left the windows cracked when we were away from the house and sprayed it down with some OZIUM, and the smell was far less bothersome. Overall the place was great, communication was amazing, and we hope to visit here again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

Our second time staying here and we just love it so much!! It’s super clean, full kitchen with all the pots and pans, a grill, it’s just steps away from the beach access, Publix is right around the corner and most importantly it’s dog friendly!! Heidi responds quickly to any questions or concerns. This is probably one of our favorite places to stay. 10 out of 10 recommend!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property itself was clean, but gave it one star because of the over powering noxious smell. It was hard to tell what kind of smell..chemical or mold. Literally permeated all our clothes and felt like we were being poisoned. We tried very hard to air it out and that made little difference We left a day early just to escape it. I feel VRBO needs to do an inspection of this property. Nobody should be subjected to that and have to pay for it on top of it. It could make a sensitive person very ill. Which is unfortunate because the space was nicely done and updated and hosts were pleasant.

Really nice getaway!

Place is nicely renovated and one of the nicest rentals we’ve stayed at in the area. The bed is a little uncomfortable, but we got an egg crate and that made it much more comfortable. Love the patio area and there is a hose outside to rinse off etc. We would definitely stay again!

Everything about the place was wonderful and the place matched the posted pictures. The walk to the water was about two minutes. Very close to Publix as well. If I return to Vilano Beach, this will be the first place I look to stay again.

St Augustine Wonder!

Saint Augustine VRBO we stayed at, The owner gave us excellent preview information and login information to get into the property. It was extraordinarily clean and well-kept. All the furniture was in great shape, and linens and towels were plentiful. It’s only a few steps from the beach, which makes it extra nice for early morning beach, walk and is within 10 minutes of downtown Saint Augustine would highly recommend this property.

Vilano Beach

This perfect rental is new to the rental market. It is a thoughtfully planned unit with everything you need. The location is just over the dunes to a dog friendly beach with a jetty and views of both the ocean and inlet. It is so convenient to shopping, dining, biking and just over the bridge from the old city. The owners were great communicators and replied promptly to our needs. We would return here in a heartbeat!

Great location

Proximity to beach was great. We really loved being steps from a dog friendly alcohol free lovely beach so we could come and go throughout the day.Having grocery store a block away was convenient as well. Vilano beach area is pedestrian friendly and super chill.Property was clean and accurately represented.There were there were guests in the upstairs apartment which was noisy at times. However, It was a family of 7 so I think it was particularly noisy (noise consisted of them walking around)As we were checking out we did see one palmetto bug in the condo. I notified the property manager and she said she would handle it immediately.It was a really great stay overall. Location is the highlight for sure

Perfect beach location!

Communication with Heide is excellent!! We stayed a month which is quite long in a smaller apartment and the sitting area gets a little uncomfortable but we knew that going into this so it's not a bad thing just want to let others know. It was 120 steps from the front door to the first step on the boardwalk that goes onto the beach. Vilano beach is very nice and dog friendly which was nice. Close to a Publix for groceries and there are plenty of eating/drinking places near by. Not a lot of traffic and pretty quiet. Would stay there again if it was for a shorter time for sure!!
