About this house rental
The next best thing to beachfront! Grab your beach gear and walk just 2-5 mins to the quiet community beach entrance located only three houses away (this is not a popular entrance because there is NO public parking). Don't worry about bringing gear we provide your boards, toys, towels, beach wagon and umbrella.
Spend your evenings laughing and reconnecting as you roast S'mores around the fire pit or grill up dinner on the Weber grill. Enjoy long talks on the deck shaded in the day from the live oak trees and lit up at night with cafe lights hung overhead, all while listening to the lullaby of waves a few blocks away and savoring the ocean breeze.
Inside relax in a professionally designed home with name brand furnishings from stores like West Elm, Article and Crate and Barrel. Sleep all the kids in the bunk room that can sleep five or the room next door that sleeps an additional two. Parents escape to the top floor that we call "the perch" because it is perched among the trees, making you feel like you are sleeping in a luxury treehouse. Vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and a private deck makes this is a primary suite dreams are made of and a place sweet dreams are made! Need to work, we have a desk in every room so any group can find a place to work remotely.
Want to explore historic St. Augustine? Easy-- we're just 7-10 mins from the historic area. Want to stay closer to home, take a walk to Aunt Kates riverfront restaurant or drive a few mins to famous Caps on the Water or the Reef restaurant both located on the water. Enjoy the laid back surfing vibe of Vilano community and wave to the neighbors as they zip by in golf carts.
The comfortable and professionally designed house, the beach just four houses away, the location on highly desirable Vilano Beach and only 7-10 mins to downtown makes this house one of the most popular houses in St. Augustine!
Note: that we have year-round neighbors and cannot accept parties or large events of any kind.

The property was a great escape for our family, with easy access to the beach and close to all amenities. Really enjoyed the comfortable setting, and will seek this property again should we find our way to the area again.
Thanks!

I would definitely recommend this home for a beach vacation. The home has a cool layout with plenty of room. It has a nice backyard with beautiful, lush St. Augustine grass complemented with plenty of shade to beat the sun after a day on the beach. We brought our cornhole boards and enjoyed that outside area very much. I think one of the nicest touches that really separated this home was the extras. From Surfboards, Boogie boards, & beach chairs to cooking oils and spices. Away from home and like a little cayenne pepper in your eggs? Boom, there it is! These details along with very gracious owners felt more like we were renting a beach house from family. We definitely plan on coming back.
Oh... 1 last tip... Aunt Kate's restaurant right down the road is freaking awesome! We ended up eating there twice.

We traveled with our adult children (18-24) to a large family reunion in South Ponte Vedra beach. This house was great for us to stay in. Clean, close to the beach, great kitchen, well stocked, perfect bedrooms and close to everything. Thanks for the great stay.

We loved our stay at the tree house! The house was adorable, the yard and patio were wonderful. The kids enjoyed the swing in the backyard and the beach toys. It was very helpful to have the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off after a day at the beach, and we enjoyed grilling and eating on the patio for dinner to unwind after exploring St. Augustine. The walk to the beach was very easy and the beach wasn’t crowded at all. We all had plenty of space to relax and everything we needed was provided. We had a wonderful time and would love to visit again.

We loved the location of this home. Super close to the beach and within walking distance of three restaurants, which was super convenient. Not having to worry about bringing beach gear or towels was a big plus! The main room upstairs gets a lot of natural light, especially early in the morning (no problem for an early riser). We enjoyed our stay in this home.

We went back to this beautiful property in pristine Vilano beach 3 years after our last stay. The house remains as cosy as before. Enjoyed every second of our weekend trip to Vilano beach area. Hopefully we will be able to go back again soon!

We had a great stay in St. Augustine. The house is very clean and in a great quiet location. Easy walk to the beach and just minutes from downtown.

Great location with short walk to beach, short drive to shops and old St. Augustine.

This house was perfect for our girls getaway. The location is excellent for getting away from the busy city of St. Augustine while being only a 10 min. drive away. A short walk to the beach and then a nice deck with a grill to chill out, The kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and dishes.
The house was filled with natural sunlight and decorated very nice with little touches of home, I highly recommend staying here and would do so again.

We loved this house. It was the perfect base for our trip to St Augustine. An Easy drive across the bridge to all of the activities but far enough away to enjoy the quiet neighborhood as well. Also only about three houses from the beach. The house was cleaned and well stocked. The owner was very responsive. Would highly recommend. The only thing I would mention is the main treehouse bedroom has a very low bed so for older persons with bad joints it might be a little challenging getting out of that bed. But the other bedrooms were normal height beds. But overall this was a wonderful property!

My husband and I drove over with our four adult children, and I must say, everybody had fun! There was something for the athletic ones, something for those that wanted to just relax and read, something for the foodies in the group, and most of all, many options for the whole family to enjoy together. Saint Augustine was great and this home was the icing on the cake. :-)

This house has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Very close to St. Augustine and the beach. Very peaceful neighborhood and easy walk to the beach. There is also a playground with swings and slides for children an easy walk away.

This was the perfect getaway for our family. The home is fantastic and is a super quick walk to the beach. We used all the beach equipment which was awesome and had a wonderful time.
When you want to go downtown it’s a quick drive over the bridge to shop and dine which we did every afternoon/evening.
This is one we hope to revisit. We are only 3 hours away but this has been one of our family’s favorite trips. Don’t hesitate, you’ll love your stay!

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The weather warmed up so we could enjoy the outdoor sitting areas and the beach which is just a short walk down the road. It’s also close to all the fun and adventure that Saint Augustine has to offer. The owners were great and communicated everything we needed to know. This is an A+ vacation spot!

5 weeks of pure bliss! Walked across the street each morning to see the sun rise just about every morning! It was such a relaxing 5 weeks continuing to “work from home” but out of the normal chaos of everyday craziness! I have already booked this house again for 2024!! Magical little area! Beyond rejuvenating!!

Beautiful home
This is a beautiful home with nice amenities and comforts. The only struggle we had was trying to work every day due to the Wi-Fi. We had one 2 day outage and really slow service otherwise, as well as spotty cell service on our Verizon phones. I don’t think Vilano Beach is the best area for fast WiFi and cell towers. Most people probably just come here to relax and go to the beach, which I wish we could have done more of. I say come here when you’re looking for that for sure!

Best stay ever!
This house has a soul and positive energy vibrating throughout the property! We stayed around 5 weeks in this house and loved every moment of it. It is bright and airy and just a 2 mins walk to the beach. We particularly admired how functional the house is. I know now the changes we need to make in our own house to make it as functional as this property. Our son did his online school during our stay and we were working remotely and never faced any issues with the internet. There are 2 Roku enabled smart tv in the house which was amazing! The kitchen has everything that you can think of.... starting from a pizza cutter to ice cream scoops and more than enough cups , plates , dishes, mugs etc. Our son witnessed his first sunrise over the ocean and got to see the beach on a full moon night. It was magical in every sense of the way. We are not very adventurous as a family but I am so glad we decided to drive from our hometown Chicago to St Augustine and spend a few weeks in this lovely house. I do hope we get to go back soon and stay again in this house.

Perfect Getaway Home
The house was well stocked, spacious and beautifully decorated. The backyard with its fire pit is a nice touch. It gives you an opportunity to hang out outside with the convenience of being home. The proximity to the beach is a short walk. Restaurants and groceries are a short drive away. Getting to the Old Town is a breeze. You really could not ask for more.

Just a Short walk from the beach
We had a great time at the “treehouse” due to its proximity to the beach and quick driver over to historic district. The place is very well equipped and was very clean. Definitely has that beach vacation home feel. Owners were friendly and very easy to get a hold of.

Best vacation house we've rented!
The "Treehouse" is located in the perfect spot - a quiet, friendly neighborhood with a very short walk to the beach. The house is beautiful, spacious, well-kept and equipped with everything you need, except food, of course! :) The backyard was a favorite hang-out spot. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect little getaway
This property was in a great location!! . We loved the modern yet cozy feel of the home. The owner provided everything we needed including beach chairs and toys for my children to borrow at the beach. Thank u for all you did to make us enjoy our stay. I would gladly recommend this place to my friends.

Quiet and peaceful
Even though you have others homes close by you will feel like everything is very private. You are surrounded by trees and privacy fences. There is nothing acoss the street. The supplied beach chairs and umbrella were great. There is also an outdoor shower that is very nice when returning from the beach. The owners were great and super responsive. If you have to have the master bedroom really dark for sleep, this may not be the one for you, otherwise you should have a great holiday.
