This house was a great get-away. It was walking distance to the beach. The pool was a nice option if the beach is not your thing. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen provided most needed supplies. It is close to the grocery store and shopping. All in all, we had a great stay.

Thank you for staying with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the short walk to the beach, the pool, and a comfortable place to relax. It’s great to hear the location made shopping and groceries easy, too. We appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back!
Great house, bigger than it looked in the pictures! Easy, flat quarter mile walk to the beach. Excellent, easy beach access with not many around. Pool was a little small, but was nice and chilled so you relax at a comfortable water temperature! Would gladly return!

Comfortable Retreat
This home is exceptionally clean, the kitchen is well stocked, and all the beds were reported to be quite comfortable by our group. Kudos to management who was almost instantaneous in their responses to my multiple inquiries. A bonus was enjoying a wonderfully delicious dinner at Aunt Kate’s, the neighborhood restaurant.
Everything was clean and the area is safe/nice. Can walk to the beach. Very quiet location. Check in and check out was a simple process. Would stay again.

Beach Get Away
Perfect place to stay. Very clean and convenient to everything.
Over the long July 4th weekend we enjoyed a good family stay at the Vilano Beach Escape. The location in a peaceful neighborhood was great: close to the beach, St. Augustine, a Publix store, and several restaurants. We rented a golf cart, which made getting around fun and easy. We enjoyed the pool. Messages to the host and property manager were answered immediately. Many thanks!

Janet and their party were a joy to host. The property was left in wonderful condition. Welcome back to 604 Sunset & Sand Retreat anytime!
Thank you for saying so. Somewhere comfortable to sit together in the evening matters in a house this size, and the couch in the great room clearly is not doing that job. It is a fair point and a specific one, which makes it easy to act on. We appreciate you taking the time.
Great location in having two options - pool and beach entry super close by. There were somemisses at check in - dirty pots and pool toys, broken living room clock.Would recommend some type of ottoman or coffee book table for the main couch. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for a balanced and useful review. Arriving to cookware and pool toys that were not clean, and to a broken clock, is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and we are sorry that is how your week began. The suggestion of a coffee table or ottoman for the main seating area is a good one and we are glad to have it. We are pleased the location and the easy run to both the pool and the beach still made for a stay you enjoyed.
Thank you so much, Susan! We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful home and the neighborhood. We’d love to host you again!

Thank you for the kind review. We are glad the kitchen had everything you needed for a week of cooking and that the house worked so well for travelling with pets. Making that side of a trip easy is something we care about. We would be happy to host you again.

Thank you so much, Beth! We’re honored you chose our home to celebrate your daughter’s graduation—congratulations to her! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the neighborhood, pool, and easy walk to the beach. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Seriously can’t rave more about this place. It is located in the cutest (and very safe feeling!) little beach neighborhood with some honestly gorgeous homes. The property looks exactly like the listing. There were three very clean bedrooms upstairs with two bathrooms, and one bedroom downstairs also with a full bath. The property outback was very well kept and the pool was great. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. The cleaning crew did a great job making sure the house was spotless before we arrived. There are two VRBO houses on either side of this property which were also hosting guests and utilizing their respective pools, which was nice as everyone was friendly and having a good time. Highly recommend! I will absolutely stay here again.
