Wow, this is a great stay! The unit is in a great location. You can literally walk to Publix via the beach and restock with very little effort. That is always a plus for our family when look for rental accommodations. No hotels beside the unit or close by, so traffic is not a problem. Need a restaurant close by? They have that piece covered as well. The Reef is most excellent and Kate’s is also great! Downtown St Augustine is just a hop, skip and jump away.
The shoreline is so close you can literally reach out and touch it! We’ve stayed in other beach rentals that are on the “beach”, but you still have to a very deep shoreline that makes the daily setup a chore, but not this unit!
We rent at least 2-3 beach rentals each year throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic and this unit and location has now become one of our top beach destinations!

We had an amazing time! We were so grateful to find a cute place on the beach that was pet friendly and affordable. We usually, have yo stay somewhere not so nice because we have a pet, but not ths time!! Our souls and bodies were truly refreshed after our time on Vilano Beach. We come back to St. Augustin every year and we would definitely stay at this beach house again.

The location and private walkway to the beach during the entire day was so amazing. So close to Publix. The beach wasn't really crowded at all, very peaceful and respectful. The house itself was very clean, accommodating, private for the most part. Minor things like the showerhead, door locks, appliance lights were a little frustrating but fixable. The hosts were very responsive, offered us suggestions prior to checking in to make our trip adventurous, and it was a very pleasant stay all together! Would highly recommend to anybody wanting to stay on the beach amd not have to drive somewhere with hard to park areas!!!
Thank you so much for our stay!

If I could give it 6 stars I would.
First beach stay that met all my expectations.
The triplex was in perfect condition. It is clear it has been updated and kept up.
The location is second to none.
All of the amenities included.
Can't wait to book my next stay as well as the top unit for my entire family to come.

The property was exactly as advertised and the beach was one of the best on the Florida east coast. Good fishing and swimming.

Vilano Beach is a great little spot to get away for a few days, close to many historical sites and tourist attractions but still with a secluded feel. The home is a good size for a small family. It is well maintained with a fully equipped kitchen for those who want to cook their meals. We enjoyed dinner and the sunset on the river at Aunt Kate's one night and sunrise from the house the next morning. The ocean views from the living room and front deck are amazing! Perfect get away location.

Great view of the ocean. Easy walk to the beach since the broad walk is literally in your backyard. It was big enough since it was just my husband and I. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable (which is hard to find a lot of the times) We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Great getaway and comfortable stay. A few minor things to fix.
Bedroom tv
Bottom of dishwasher but nothing major for us not to return.

This is one of our favorite beach vacation spots! The small fenced in area for the dog is really convenient, very dog friend beach, everyone we met was nice and dogs were well behaved. This place was clean and is good condition. The bathroom sink water does smell a little like sulfur, but I grew up in Florida and that’s kind of normal. They have filtered water bottle in the fridge, and we bought some bottles of water as well.
The washer and dryer are really nice to have. We had dry towels and bathing suits everyday. Shower right outside to rinse off your feet and beach gear!
Over all I loved it and can’t wait to go back!

The unit was great, all amenities, right on the beach. Good location, close to groceries, parking and easy drive into historic St-Augustine. Would recommend

Roomy and clean. Had a couple minor glitches, Landlord responded immediately. Easy drive to downtown St Augustine. Beautiful beach location - only drawback is Vilano beach calls out leash laws for dogs but they don't seem to be enforced.

We loved being on the beach. Great location and close to town and also St Augustine. The property was very clean. The manager Amy was very responsive when I requested more towels. The only issue was that the water had a strong sulfur smell which required us to use lots of bottled water when cooking and showering. This issue was resolved after our stay. We would stay here again.

Loved the location and access to the beach. Great communication. Loved all the advise and suggestions given. Need to update access for a grill with the unit A. The grill did not work at all and it was grossly covered in mold. Great to have private access to the unit and patio area along with beach towels. Will return!

We loved our time here. Caught the sunrise each morning. Everything was super clean and the property managers were quick to answer all my questions. Beach rentals and groceries were waiting for me. We couldn’t have enjoyed our time here any more than we did!! It was wonderful!! We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a great stay!!

My stay was awesome! From booking to check out the process was easy! The property is amazing and in a great location! Beach in the backyard and 5 minutes from downtown shopping!
5.0 / 5.0
The location was very easy to find, close to everything. Great for our 2 dogs with a small fenced yard on the side of the house and a patio we were able to secure so they couldn’t get out. The beach was clean and just steps away. The house was just as expected. Very nice and easily accessible. Would definitely stay there again.
2.5 / 5.0
Surfside Retreat was the perfect beach house. Incredibly clean. Very roomy and had everything needed for the stay. Although it was a triplex, it was quiet and private. Our perfect get away. Only thing wrong with our stay was that it was too short! Going back in November. Simply awesome stay.
5.0 / 5.0
Right next to Surfside park, a perfect place to stay and play at the beach!
