This is our second time staying at this home and we LOVE it! From the view, beach access, the pool and super comfy beds and pillows. We hope to save up and be able to stay again next year!
5.0 / 5.0
This home is perfect. Great location right on Vilano Beach with a Publix right around the corner, beach access right in front of the house, and a nice place to eat by the pier. The house itself house a great layout where the whole family can lounge around in the living room with lots of natural light and a great view to the beach. Any stress you have just melts away here. I checked out and I miss every minute. Can't wait to stay here again.

4.0 / 5.0
Pirate's Paradise was a great way to celebrate our son’s retirement from the U.S. Navy! The house was perfect for all family members (ranging from seniors, college students to toddlers). The location was nice, clean, and semi-private area. The interior was bright and airy. This was the result of the large windows that displayed the outstanding beach-ocean view. Sitting on the front “porch,” rocking on the nine white rockers, talking and listening/watching the ocean waves, was a soothing experience (okay, the summer cocktails were great too). Walking to the beach (with all our “gear”) was a matter of minutes. The clean-outdoor grill put the male “chef-egos” to a test that resulted in great dinners! ... The only downfall was from Vacasa’s communication system, not the owner. After a few texts, it was determined that it was an “AI” system. There was a minor trash situation. A call was made to the 800 number. The situation wasn’t totally resolved, but it wasn’t a devastating ending.

This a true beach front property with easy access to the ocean. Views from the decks were outstanding.

We really enjoyed this home! We have a family of 6 so it had a great layout for us. The kitchen was fully stocked for ease of meal prep. And the location right on the beach could not be beat! The home was at the end of the street so pretty quiet, just the way we like it! Yet it is close to St. Augustine so it was an easy drive to this cute historical town.
I only rated it 4 stars because the communication with the property management team was inconsistent so it made us feel as though we were working with a call center.
We discovered a problem with the refrigerator on our first day (ice maker was leaking) and the first person said someone would come out to look at it. I waited a couple of days and texted back and communicated with a new person who didn't have a record of the issue. This continued over the course of our stay (new person, repeating the issue). So, when we checked out, I simply sent another text to remind them of the problem so that they could address it before their next check in.
All in all, it was our first time to the St. Augustine area, and it was a truly wonderful stay for our family!

We had a wonderful time staying at this home in Vilano Beach. The home was large enough for us all to spread out and have our own spaces. We saw dolphins swimming daily and loved the location. The pool was smaller than we thought it would be, but our kids still loved it. We would love to stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
Most perfect view & location on Vilano Beach. We loved every second. The only downfall about the house is that it was so perfect, it was hard for us to leave to do any of the other things we planned on our trip. The beach is right outside your front door, so if you're wanting in the water, or just to people watch, it's perfect. Plenty of space for our group of 10. Fully stocked & clean. We will be back! Thank you so much for letting us stay!

We had a small family reunion the elevator was key to some of our elderly family members. Bathrooms were never an issue as each family had their own and the VIEWs, were simply amazing.
Loved having three tables to be able to eat and game play.

4.0 / 5.0
This was a beautiful property and an excellent location. We all thoroughly enjoyed it, and would definitely return. The reason why I did not rate it five stars across-the-board is because there were some issues with cleanliness and management of the property. They did not provide any dishwasher detergent, so I guess we shouldn’t have been surprised that several of the dishes in the cabinet had crusted food all over them. We also had to request a propane tank for the grill. The Wi-Fi access is listed incorrectly on the website versus the text message sent to me by management. However, the views were amazing, the rooms and beds were comfortable, and the space was excellent.

The house was perfect for our group. The house layout was great and very functional. The pool was perfect for the grandkids. The beach and beach access was phenomenal. Only negative is the slightly worm interiors. The elevator was a lifesaver.

2.0 / 5.0
A great beach house in a fantastic location, tarnished by awful and non-existent customer support.
Pros: big, bright house with high ceilings, on a quiet, dead-end street, right on the beach. Short trip to downtown, close to a grocery store, excellent location overall. Big lovely balcony with an amazing view and rocking chairs, enough bathrooms for a big group. Very clean when we arrived.
Cons: Beyond past critiques of the tiny pool, somewhat tired appearance of the house, and silly setup with too many twin beds, the vacation management experience with Vacasa was very unpleasant. Check-in is at 4 pm and, though there was no one staying at the house for 2 days before we arrived, we could not confirm early check-in in advance, even when we offered to pay for it (very inconvenient when you're coming from out of state). The house lacked several basics that would have made for an easier stay: no laundry detergent, no additional trash bags, no tupperware or saran wrap, no cooking oil, no beach gear (there are a few leftover beach toys presumably from past guests, that's it). And, it is truly impossible to get help or answers from Vacasa. We were traveling with small children and had a few questions in advance to ensure we were set up for their stay—I sent several messages through the booking platform and never received a response, spent nearly 2 hours on the phone, talked to 5 different customer support agents, and still could not confirm any details or get meaningful help. In one of these conversations, I was told there are no beach towels provided for guest use and was sent the contact info for a vendor in Miami to rent them (FYI: there actually are plenty of beach towels at the house). The Vacasa customer support agents were clearly not local—likely an offshore service—and were not empowered (perhaps even punished?) if they connected me to local support.
To the homeowner: I understand the benefits of using a property management service like Vacasa, but strongly urge you to reconsider. What would have been a 5-star experience at your beautiful house was unfortunately ruined by our experience with them.

Loved the main floor balcony and the 7 rocking chairs.
The elevator was a godsend.
5.0 / 5.0
The location and the views from the decks were absolutely stunning. The views called you to the deck to just sit and relax with a hot cup of coffee in the mornings and cold drinks later in the day and the evening. If you want to feel like you are living right on the beach....THIS is the place. The elevator was a huge help with our elderly guests. My only regret is that we didn't book a longer stay.
4.0 / 5.0
It would have been better to have a larger bed in the larger room instead of three more twin beds. Seems 4 twin beds should be enough.

We loved the fact that the beach was right outside the door! It was a beautiful home!

Our family 👪 loves everything about Pirates Paridise. We have adults, young and old, teenagers, children, and infant. There's something for everyone. The facility is clean and fully equipped. You want the perfect view of the beach and ocean, this is it. We love it here and we'll be returning next year.

The view from the house is absolutely stunning. Just steps from the beach! Plenty of room for our family of 10 to spread out and enjoy our stay. Everything was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked. We strongly recommend staying here!

Beautiful Home on the Beach
It is a beautiful home on the water. Hearing the waves and watching the dolphins play in the morning is amazing. Morning coffee and sitting on the deck was such a delight!
I would like to recommend that instead of three bedrooms with twin beds that they have more queen or king beds. The mattresses could be updated with the exception of the Master Bedroom which is totally amazing!
Location was perfect. We appreciate you sharing you beautiful home. I hightly recommend staying here!

Better than advertised!!
Don't let negative reviews affect your decision for renting this property. This house is way bigger from what the pictures show, it is extremely clean, and the view is beyond compare!! The beds were comfortable, and the showers were great! There was plenty of room for the eleven of us. We really enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs (7) and listening to the crashing waves while gazing at a panoramic star filled sky at night and watching the boats going in and out of the inlet. We've stayed in ocean front houses before but never on an inlet, we all agreed the inlet was way better and you only have to walk a couple of hundred feet away to be on the coast. Big kudos to the owners for keeping this house in such great shape due to the constant onslaught of salt air. We lived on the ocean for a few years and know how hard it is. Also, there is a Publix a few blocks away for your convenience. And the pizza place next door to Publix has some of the best pizza this side of Brooklyn!! And last but not least, you are a ten-minute ride to Historic St. Augustine!

Location was amazing
The location is on the beach on a dead end street. The area is not full of tourists and the environment is peaceful. The house is not brand new and luxury, but it is peaceful and appointed well enough.

Location, location, location. Perfect house for 12 people. A real gem, truly a pirates paradise.

Beautiful Setting
On the positive side, the property is nicely located and central to St. Augustine. Beautiful views. On the negative side, It wasn't ready at 4 PM for check in, and interior not as clean as expected. The pool was also not clean. It took six days and many phone calls for the pool to be serviced (out of the two weeks we rented the property) - so nearly half of our vacation. Otherwise, it's a great spot.
5.0 / 5.0
One wish
This house was in an amazing! Excellent location, plenty of room, well stocked, and everything was working. The one wish was that the house would have been a little cleaner. The guest before us must have had a dog with long black hair because black dog hair was all over the place. However, even with the dog hair I would still rent it again and recommend the house for others.
