10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2025
We had a wonderful stay at The Wander and Rest Home in Vilano Beach. The house was beautifully decorated for the Christmas season and felt incredibly warm and inviting. The hosts truly thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. With the pool, hot tub, sauna, golf cart, and a garage full of games and activities, our family was never bored. The beach is just a short golf cart ride away and conveniently close to a few charming restaurants.Thank you for helping make my mom’s 75th birthday so special. We will definitely be back!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
We stayed at Salt Water and Sunsets with a group of 19, and it was hands-down one of the best vacation homes we’ve ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully curated to make our stay unforgettable.
The house itself is immaculate and truly stunning—beautifully decorated, spacious, and designed for both relaxation and togetherness. One of our favorite features was the separate game room for the kids. They could be as loud and energetic as they wanted while the adults enjoyed some peaceful downtime. It was a game changer for our large group.
The outdoor amenities were equally impressive. The heated pool, hot tub, and sauna created a private resort feel. Whether we were swimming, soaking, or unwinding in the sauna, every moment felt like pure luxury.
The attention to detail was unmatched. Robes in the closets, bathroom toiletries in case we forgot anything, and thoughtful touches throughout the home made us feel completely cared for. It’s rare to find a rental that anticipates your needs before you even think of them.
We truly never wanted to leave. Salt Water and Sunsets is the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’re already dreaming about our next visit!

The house is gorgeous and the kitchen is incredible! We spent most of our time in the backyard enjoying the pool and hot tub! This house is perfect for a large group and was truly equipped with everything we needed and more!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
The Saltwater and Sunsets home is the perfect Vilano Beach getaway. The location is perfect and so close to everything and good eats. The home is stunning with ample amenities and luxury accommodations. The hosts have not missed any detail. We enjoyed the late night hot tub hangs, afternoon swims in the pool, golf cart rides to Cap’s for dinner, walks on the beach at sunset, coffee on the front porch rocking chairs and plenty of good night’s sleep. We can’t wait to visit again!
