About this cottage rental

This is a Cottage three doors from the beach with a nice view of the Ocean, especially from the Loft Bedroom.

This Cottage is available for families to vacation. You may not however, use this Cottage as a "Spring Break" type "Party House" ! No drugs! Responsible alcohol consumption is permitted. Bothersome drunken behavior is not. Please be sure to read "House Rules" before booking. Alcohol consumption is prohibited on all Saint Johns County Beaches. All guest are required to sign a Short Term Rental Agreement and provide the Host with a copy of Government Issued Photo Identification which includes their home address. There are Security Cameras outside the Cottage on the four corners of the house and two cameras covering the front from North and South views. There are no cameras inside the Cottage.

You will be renting the whole house which includes the ground floor bedroom and bath, the main floor (second floor) kitchen, livingroom, bedroom and bath, and the loft bedroom above. There is an electric Barbeque Grill, Table and Chairs to sit and relax when the Sun gets behind the building in the late afternoon / evenings. It's nice when there is a breeze. You will have the whole place to yourselves.

Though this Cottage is only three doors from the beach, it is also walking distance to the Publix Grocery Store, the restaurants on Vilano Street, and just a short drive to downtown Historic Saint Augustine and Flagler Collage. If you haven't seen old city Saint Augustine, it's worth a visit. There are plenty of Restaurants, Cafes' and Ice Cream shops too. The architecture downtown is incredible. Park at the parking garage. ...Or just use Uber. Many people do.

You can watch the waves breaking and listen as they pound the beach from the Kitchen / Livingroom or Loft Bedroom of this 1970's contemporary timber frame architecture home. This cottage is south of Vilano Street, so there's little if any through traffic. This is a quiet street.

Go to the beach. Swim in the waves. But also walk south, over the stone jetty and down to the inlet along Porpoise Point (its a short walk). You never know what you may see in the sea. You could spend a week just experiencing the daily changing tidal environment at Porpoise Point. Children especially enjoy the smaller waves and tidal pools of both Vilano Beach and Porpoise Point Inlet at low tide. My wife and I walk and swim at the ocean and inlet every day when we are there. It's rare not to see fish or Porpoises. Occasionally a Sea Turtle. Some days we see just a few fish, other days a lot. You never know.

A limit of 2 small dogs, 20 lbs. or less, is permitted. Guest are required to clean up after their pets. If you are traveling with dogs, have plastic bags to collect and dispose of their poop. You are required to pickup all poop here at the Cottage and fines for not picking up poop are enforced at the Beach.

Please park in front on the concrete driveway as you pull in. Enter through the ground floor door on the left. The ground floor has one bedroom, one bath and a laundry. Up the stairs to the main level (second-floor), Kitchen / living room, main floor bedroom and bath, and a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Climb up the spiral steps to the loft bedroom to another great view of the ocean.

Please note; The Spiral Staircase may be a hazard for little kids and Seniors. For this reason, this property may not be suitable for small children. They're your kids. Parental discretion is advised.

Parking is provided on the driveway. 2 cars easily. If needed, there may be some additional parking available on nearby Loja Street. But don't try to park at the public parking lot on Anahma Street or Publix grocery store parking lots overnight, as no parking after 10:pm is enforced.

The months of January, February and March are available for Guest who wish to rent all three months consecutively. If you would like to book all three months, okay. Go ahead and do it. But if try to book just a few weeks in the middle of Winter, you'll be disappointed. Guest who book all three months will have booking priority.

Saint John's County permits a maximum of one rental event per week. You may stay the minimum or as long as you wish. But I am not allowed to rent the Cottage to more than one group per week. For example, I cannot rent to two parties who each stay only 3 nights in the same 7 days. Some of you will want just two nights and see a two night opening on the schedule, but if someone has already booked in that week you may be disappointed.

We enjoyed our stay. Perfect location.we will definitely be staying again. Everything was as listed. Having the beach wagon and chairs was perfect. We brought child gate to block the stairs from my 11/2 year old grandson.

We were looking for a nice, budget friendly place near the beach and we found it! My kids loved being able to spread out, my son stayed in his little oasis downstairs, and my daughter enjoyed her lofty heights in the loft (when she wasn’t lounging in the hammock). The house was perfectly stocked with essentials. We loved being so close to the beach entrance!

The house is just as perfect as iadvertised. We could see the ocean and it really did only take 2 minutes to get to the beach. We initially wanted to stay at St. Augustine Beach but changed our mind once we saw the location of this house. So glad we did. It only took 10 minutes to drive to downtown Saint Augustine. Vilano Beach is a quaint town where you can walk to most things. Great shelling and laid back atmosphere.

We arrived in the evening and were thrilled that the house lights were all on. The problem became how to turn off lights. There was no way to turn OFF the bedroom ceiling light - we had to pull the fuse to turn off the power to the room. The owner did arrange for someone to install a new remote the following day. The downstairs bedroom had no blinds or curtains and the loft bedroom is at the top of a winding staircase. No way to turn ON the ceiling lights in the dining area, no easy access to turn OFF light behind couch. There are cameras outside for security, watching both the front door and outside staircase. The problem I had with the living room lights not turning off was that the area was bright as I left the bedroom to go to the bathroom, felt I might be visible from the outside camera. You can see the ocean from the balcony, quiet street, nice area.

Super easy and very nice place. Lots of stairs but a necessity for the area. Would stay there in a heartbeat again. Everything is close for walking or driving.
