Amenities
39 includedWe had a wonderful visit. It was our first time staying on Vilano and we were happy with our decision. The place was very convenient as well as peaceful!
Great accommodations! Pulled up, easy to find and easy to access! We actually pulled up around midnight also so it was obviously dark out. Everything was spotless and they had the spot stocked like a regular home. Although we didn’t using any of the cooking utensils, it was courteous. This goes for the bathroom and bedroom also! From soaps bars, to towels, even an iron w/ ironing board! Great distance to beach and Publix, you could stroll to either in about a 5 minute walk. Also, great location! Only 8-9 minute drive and you’re in downtown St.Augustine. All in all, great experience!
Location was great and host was very responsive
We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is wonderful—you can easily walk to the beach, and it’s less than a 10-minute drive to downtown St. Augustine. The hosts were super responsive and easy to communicate with, which made everything seamless. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We would definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in St. Augustine! The unit was comfortable and had clearly been cleaned well and maintained with care. The walk-ability of the neighborhood and area is fantastic! It’s super convenient to historic St Augustine! There was lots to do that was very nearby and it felt quiet and private! The hosts were extremely communicative and friendly, would definitely recommend visiting!
The place was very nice and a great location in Vilano beach
