We had the best stay at this beach house! It was perfect for our honeymoon—quiet, peaceful, and exactly what we needed. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and made our trip even more special. We loved being able to relax and enjoy the beach without all the noise and crowds. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great location and beautiful oceanfront view. The beach was quiet so it made for a very peaceful time. The kitchen was equipped so well, we just got a few items from Publix and stayed in enjoying the peace and tranquility . We plan to visit very soon.

I really liked the property a lot, especially the location and having such easy access to the beach. The kitchen is huge and nice and open to the rest of the house and there’s a split plan so the main bedrooms are on either side of the house which is nice for privacy. The only downside to this location was the parking it was not altogether easy to get in and out of. The host was wonderful and communicated with me extremely timely when I needed it.

The property is much more beautiful than the photos indicate. You feel more like you are staying at a friend's house than a customer. Seaglass feels like a home. Very well decorated and tastefully done. There are many upgrades you don't typically find in a rental. The owners communicate promptly and are there to address any concerns.Highly recommended!

Wow! What a beautiful property! Impossible not to be relaxed here. We felt like we had our own private beach for a week. The location is perfect. It was close to everything but it felt secluded at the same time. The photos are great, but in person this place is unbelievably beautiful! Everywhere you look, whatever room you are in, the view is amazing! The hours melt away here. You wont be disappointed. Our family can't wait to visit your little slice of paradise again! Thanks!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Seaglass Cottage. The lovely beach home is quite spacious and very comfortable. The home is quiet and has everything you need for a wonderful stay at the beach.Vilano Beach is beautiful, and we enjoyed long walks each morning during sunrise. I was surprised how close we were to restaurants, a grocery store, and other conveniences. This made things very easy!We highly recommend the Seaglass Cottage for a beach getaway - and hope to visit again someday!

Excellent family getaway

This property is stunning. The chance to be directly on the beach every day was exactly what I wanted and that is what we got! The house, beach and weather were perfect during our stay with lots of local restaurants and attractions to satisfy our needs.

Seaglass. Outage is ideally located with direct beach access to Vilano beach. The outdoor porches and beach views are magnificent. The interior is updated and clean. The location is great with quick access to downtown St. Augustine but secluded enough to provide a great overall beach experience.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, Barry. The beachfront location, updated interior and quiet setting are exactly the features that made us fall in love with Seaglass! Add on the fact that Seaglass is 10 minutes to America’s oldest city, St Augustine, with so many fun activities, restaurants and sites to see, and I just can’t think of a better place to vacation! Hope you’ll be back!

I absolutely loved this stunning oceanfront home! The views are breathtaking and walking straight out to the sand feels like paradise. The kitchen is gorgeous and so well-equipped. One thing I loved about there is you really feel like you’re at home. But still on vacation. The best of both worlds.My mom was visiting from Chicago and loved the house. I think she loves it better than mine lol. Villano Beach completely stole our hearts. It’s such a beautiful, peaceful place. We enjoyed a couple restaurants on the river just a few minutes away. The home itself is just perfect. We truly hope to return soon and would highly recommend the Seaglass retreat for those truly wanting to get away!
