It was a family vacation for Dad’s 60th birthday. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again. A couple suggestions would be to clearly post trash day pick up and to upgrade the bed linens. It is a beautiful beach house and worth the stay.

House was exactly as described, in a quieter area of St. Augustine, perfect for a relaxing family vacation, public beach access is walking distance of the house, however you can take your 4x4 on the beach for a small daily fee

The home was very clean and the views were beautiful. Just a short walk to the white sand beach with crystal clear water. Would definitely stay again!

We received notification 2 hours before arrival that the downstairs air conditioning was not working and they would place portable cooling units in place until a/c was fixed on Monday. The temp on the second floor level was 85 degrees. Only one unit was put in the house which was incapable of cooking any of the bedrooms. We were told we could receive a refund if we found another rental. There were obviously no homes available with a days notice for our family of 8. We suffered thru Saturday afternoon until Monday evening trying to get airflow to provide some comfort until it was repaired. We purchased $75 fans which did not help. Air conditioning businesses advertise service calls 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Z.

Good Times at Porpoise Point
Summary of our overall impression: We enjoyed our stay a great deal. In general, the property turned out fine. The kitchen was adequately equipped and served quite well for feeding -6-10 people. Beach access was relatively convenient and the beaches were fine. Access to stores was also good.
However, we do have a couple of suggestions. We don't recall any specific mention that three sets of stairs had to be climbed to get to the very attractive living-kitchen-dining area. Although we were six people in their 70s, we had no trouble negotiating the stairs, but what if we had been people in their 70s with disabilities or even just limited mobility? Someone unable to climb stairs would have been severely challenged. We suggest that some information regarding the adequacy of the property for people with limited mobility would help to avoid any future problems and/or complaints.
Another problem was that when anyone sat or lay on the queen and double bed mattresses in two of the bedrooms it sounded like a wrecking crew was loudly at work. The noise was well beyond ordinary creaking and at times disturbed the sleep of the occupants. Those mattresses should be replaced.
Perhaps a manual with a few more details about where things are in the house would also be helpful. And finally, there really should be an ordinary broom in a house at the beach. We had to haul out the vacuum cleaner to clean up the sand that inevitably got tracked in. A simple broom would have made that daily task much easier.

Great low key location!
Great, low key location that was a nice little walk to the beach that in addition had a great beach and ocean view from the balcony. House was perfect for all 8 of us. 5 adults and 3 high school age teenagers.
Close walk/5 minute drive to the town center area that had a Publix and a great pizza place. About a 10 minute drive into downtown St Augustine.
Will absolutely plan on visiting again!

Ideal Place!
We absolutely loved the house and location to the beach. With the kitchen and living room being on the top floor this made the views just perfect. All meals, morning coffee and afternoon toddies had the back drop of the beach-just what we wanted. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful View and Location!
We had a fantastic trip and the location of the house was a big reason why! The view is beautiful, we were within walking distance to the point area with a beautiful lagoon and sand bar. The Atlantic Ocean beach was just around the corner. We had a little trouble getting into the house, code didn’t work, but the office was able to get us a new code quickly. The house has basic kitchen supplies and the bed linens could use an upgrade, they felt like paper. Overall, we were VERY pleased with our house and the location on quaint Vilano Beach was very close to historic downtown. We would stay here again!

Vilano Beach
Good property. On the south side of the seawall and will be a 10 min walk to Vilano Beach proper. Furniture and beds could use a refresh. Scissors in the kitchen would be helpful if you cook. I’d rent directly from Vtrips for future to avoid multiple booking fees.

The location and house was great! I thought it had three full baths. However we managed well and everything was very nice.

Great House
We really enjoyed our stay. This place was perfect for our big family. The outdoor shower was nice and we were just a short walk from the beach. The views from the deck and living area were nice too. The upper floor is very spacious and the kitchen was nice and big. You will get exercise going up and down the stairs but for us it wasn’t a problem. We would definitely come back

Very nice clean home.
This property does have a nice beach view from the balcony but it is across the street from the beach. The pictures and map pin looked more like it was on the beach side of the street in the listing. It wasn’t a far walk from the beach access point so it didn’t wind up making much of difference. The house was clean. The beds and linens were comfortable. There was plenty of seating. The smoke alarm did beep due to a low battery and the water in owners bathroom toilet ran constantly for the first few days of our stay. We called the property management company and these minor issues were addressed in a timely manner. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location, nice house
Best part of this rental was its location to the private beach. VRBO listing was a bit inaccurate in that there was only one Queen and 1 full size bed in addition to the 4 bunks and king sized master suite, not the 2 queens per the listing. Bunk room is smaller than it appears in the photo. The main floor (top) is one giant great room with kitchen, dining area and seating area. It was wonderful! The outside deck was perfect for sunrises or sunsets. We got our money's worth!! Would rent here again if there were 2 queen beds as advertised.

Great house and location
Easy rental process. Easy check-in. Clear communication from the owners. And the location was fantastic. Gorgeous sunrises from the balcony. 100 yard-walk to a very uncrowded and serene beach. Grocery store less than 5 minutes away. All in all a great property and stay.

Nice stay
Our group of ten enjoyed our Christmas stay in this nicely equipped beach rental. Great location & ocean views. Sufficiently clean upon arrival. Dog friendly including fenced yard. Would recommend. Only suggestion - offer Christmas decoration option & consider new bed mattresses

Beautiful views...bad smells
This property definitely would have received 5 stars. The reason it didn’t was not really their fault but the well water!!!! The surfer smell was so awful. Taking a shower I had to hold my nose and it turned all my silver jewelry brown. I just can’t handle the sulfer smell. Also I wish they would consider wary check in. They wouldn’t even let me check in 15 minutes early. That was disappointing

Recent vacation at Vilano Beach, FL
The property was well maintained and located close to the beach in a nice neighbor hood. The property manager was responsive to any questions or requests we had, the beach was beautiful and with the St. Augustine only a mile or two away we were able to enjoy some evenings in town that added several memories to an already fun time spent together with our family of 7. Greatly appreciated the grill on site as it afforded us the opportunity to prepare some quick and easy meals which gave us more time to at the beach.

Great location, nice home but very dirty.
The house is located in a great neighborhood near the beach downtown St Augustine Publix and several good restaurants. The beach near by was enjoyable and very relaxing. The house itself was nice with an outdoor shower great water views and cool sea breezes from two large sun decks. However, when we arrived, it was obvious to us that the house had not been cleaned. Probably the dirtiest rental I have ever stayed in. House keeping is not doing it’s job. In addition, the mattresses were old and uncomfortable.

Beautiful home with lots to enjoy.
This is a very nice home. It is well appointed, close to the beach, grocery store, dining and historic St Augustine. The kitchen is well stocked. The furniture is comfortable. The two upper decks have nice outdoor furniture and views of the ocean. I have no complaints at all. The only ideas I would share are better shower heads (handheld would be nice) and chairs for the ground floor back deck. I had beach chairs and found it a nice cool place to sit and let the dogs have some yard time. Small dogs could escape the yard if they really wanted to. I used my exercise pen panels to block a couple of spots. As stated by others, there are stairs but they are covered in a type of carpet that gives good non-slip footing. The house is on the point so you can enjoy the waves of the ocean or the calmer waters of the channel and inter coastal side. There is also a large tide pool at low tide. Lots to enjoy.
Thank you for sharing this home.

Wonderful place to vacation!
Serenity Now was the perfect place to get a little R&R. My husband and I stayed for a week with our two little dogs and felt very at home. The views were breathtaking from the 3 rd floor deck. A short half block walk to the beach. Area was very quiet but just a 5 minute drive to shopping and restaurants in downtown St. Augustine. The house was very comfortable and well appointed Loved our stay here. Would definitely come back again.

Great
House was great--close to beach, beautiful view from balconies, comfortable furniture. Very responsive when we called about a housekeeping problem. Suggestions: tighten loose railing from second to third floor; put mat inside second floor entrance. We would return except for the fact that some of us had a difficult time with two flights of stairs. Thank you for a good week at the beach.

Inlet + beach + house = amazing
House had plenty of bedrooms & bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, and great deck views. Steps to the inlet and a short walk past the jetty to the beach, but we mostly stopped at the inlet to swim in the less pounding waves and the pond that formed during low tide. Only drawback was house to one side has a pool, but with the inlet and beach- and that group there only on the weekend, who needs a pool?

Great beach vacation
Spacious house with great views of the water from the various balconies! Different living levels provided room for a large family. Low tide created a safe tide pool for little ones to play in the water. Very enjoyable time!

Great Location, Amazing spot for a Group
We absolutely loved out time. Some of the highlights:
The top floor is just one open living space with the kitchen. Made cooking meals and being together super easy. Plus access to a nice table and porch overlooking the ocean made every meal and evening worth the trip.
The king bedroom is great with its own private balcony.
The access to the beach is simple and quite a private area - but two more public areas are also easily accessible on either side. So we were able to do both secluded private visits and more touristy beach trips.
The location is easily accessible to Vilano Beach - so it is a trip to traditional St. Augustine beach - saw this as a huge plus for privacy.
Outdoor shower and garage space were perfect for our regular trips to the beach.
AMAZING spot for kids. The bunk bed room was perfect.
The only cons I could think of are:
The other 2 bedrooms were on the smaller side. But, easily accommodated 2 adults in 1 and another. But other than sleeping, we were rarely there - so who cares.
Lots of stairs to the public space - so a good work out everyday. But, that was a huge positive after a day of lounging and relaxing.
Will be returning.

Great location!
Great location. Loved having a few great places to eat nearby along with a grocery. Short walk to the beach. Great views off the back patio. Watched the ships go out in the morning, and in each evening. Lots of stairs, but the open space on the 3rd level is worth the climbing. Shower pressure could be better. Water smells a bit. Place was clean overall, but the floors on the 3rd level did not appear as if they were cleaned (especially when I started moving furniture looking for lost toys). A/C, dishwasher, washer/dryer all work well. 10min drive to the historic center, and 15-20min to the outlets and I-95. We will likely rent again if we return to St. Augustine.

Amazing space!
The living space is so open and great for a large group. The outside seating is perfect with an amazing view! Great for dogs as there is a fence but if you have a darter there is a break in the fencing allowing them to get out.
Beach location is so close absolutely amazing! If you have personnel that would struggle with steps it’s not the place for them but the steps are worth the view.

Our new home away from home.
Lots of stairs. Don't recommend it for people who can't do stairs. Water is treated so it takes forever to rinse off and forever to get hot water. Besides that, we loved it and will go back. Pets loved the yard and the beach is close. Morning sun on the porch, nicely equipped, and surrounded sound in all rooms. See ya in August!
