Direct Oceanfront Vilano Beach, Luxury Renovated Home, Sunrise Deck, Sleeps 7

we were looking for a quick get away beach front house and this is exactly what this house was ! super close to all the attractions of st augustine. location was great. this house is not a fancy modern house it’s more of a beach vintage style type perfect for any age. the best part for us was it was located on the beach and the deck was awesome plenty of room to hang out and eat lunch or just layout and soak up the sun. if you want a beachfront house close to town this is the house! we will definitely be back in the future.

We had a wonderful week staying at Cathy's place in Velano Beach. Right on the beach, two doors down from a great restaurant. The bay window in the amazing great room was also a fantastic plus for those hot mornings before the breeze picked up on the beach. We could enjoy our coffee and the view without having to be in the sweltering August heat. This house has 3 bedrooms, but it was just four adults. We kept the door to the primary closed off from the hallway to the other bedrooms and basically had a suite for one couple and the primary for the other. Never felt on top of each other. It was also perfect for our two small dogs. There is a small, public beach access nearby, but with only houses around and little public parking, it felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Cathy was super responsive whenever I reached out with a question. We'll definitely be visiting here again in the future!

All you need is your bathing suit, beach umbrella and chair and you are all set for a great vacation. Bring your dogs and they could enjoy the beach with you.

Loved the location- bathrooms need to be gutted. Place needs to be deep cleaned- dead bugs in the bathroom lights. Makes me think Covid cleaning is non existent. Basic upgrades like towels that aren’t falling apart or stained- providing keurig pods- shampoo, soap, and conditioner… would have been nice (typical of all other places I’ve stayed). There is a floor lamp that is duct taped together. Not all lights have bulbs both interior and exterior. No tin foil, seran wrap or Tupperware if you are trying to cook in. Zero spices or oils. Interior needs to be painted in halls and doors need to be replaced. Outdoor furniture was great! Newly resided (hopeful it will be painted white or kept gray with a fun front door color). Wonderful new exterior windows and doors. Living room furniture, large table and kitchen are perfect for the beach. Loved the wood floors. If the owners would redo the master bathroom I would suggest putting a stackable washer and dryer where the tiny shower is and put a normal size tub/shower where the side by side washer/dryer currently are. I would rent again only after improvements are made- the price warrants basic upgrades and amenities.
