Place was amazing. Has a great time. Even though nice, the VRBO pictures and descriptions don’t do it justice. Place is super cool and so relaxed right on beach. Perfect getaway for our family with teens.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay @ the purple shark! We arrived during a wind storm with 50mph plus winds being right on the beach was pretty wild we went inside really couldn’t hear or feel the wind at all , the purple shark is sound property!Absolutely no issues with house We found are way around the house and was blown away awesome set up and user friendly We spent almost week there and every day was special waking up to the sounds of the ocean and sunrises ,walks on the beach and sunsets on the roof deck over looking St Augustine amazing!!! Thank you purple shark

The “Purple Shark” is THE best rental property I’ve ever stayed in - hands down! This was my second stay at the beach house. The first was a girls trip and the latest was a three generation family trip. The house was perfect for both! The views, access to the beach and downtown are unbeatable. The house is immaculate and well equipped. We just got home today and are already ready to book our next trip!

Exactly what I expected. House was beautiful, perfect location, and great communication. We will be back next year. Thank you! ❤️

Clean, spacious rooms, beautifully decorated, complete with everything you could possibly need. We flew in to Jacksonville from out of State. This lovely home was perfect for a weeks stay. It was completely stocked with everything required to fix any meal, with towels for showers and beach, with several beach chairs, an umbrella and even a nice portable awning you can set up on the beach. There were also two paddle boards you could use in the ocean. The chairs and tables on the decks were in great condition. We had room to park our car in the garage. The elevator was very useful to bring up groceries or suitcases. The AC worked perfectly. We used the washer and dryer to wash a load of laundry. Louan was always quick to answer any questions and does a fantastic job of managing this wonderful home.

The owner was great with communication. House is beautifully decorated and the location is right on the beach. The kitchen is fully stocked for home made meals. Beds were comfy. Our only complaint is with the neighbor who was angry/aggressive at anyone who came to park, even if it was in the driveway of the home. Overall, we would gladly return for another stay here and it was a great visit.

Hands down the most stocked rental we have ever stayed in! So so many extra added touches. The views were breathtaking. Coffee on the porch watching dolphins in the morning. We came for Father’s Day followed by orientation at Flagler for our son. It was such a great family time and so many memories made. Thank you thank you for sharing this wonderful home…we will be back!

Upon retiring I wanted to stay in a beach house with my family- This 3 day retreat was absolutely perfect. The ocean was just steps from the house! Views from the house were amazing. The accommodations were absolutely perfect for what we needed. High end kitchen appliances and good local restaurants nearby made our trip an unforgettable experience. There were plenty of extra beach chairs and umbrellas in the garage! The pictures on the website are beautiful, but the actual house- location is more amazing than the photos! (if you can believe that!) There is more included than what is described in the VRBO ad. The rooftop seating area was a really fun place to gather. Thank you for this unforgettable weekend!

Pictures were exactly what you get. Very comfortable and beautiful house

The property was very clean and well set up. The lakeside area with the dock and comfortable furniture was wonderful. It was quiet and very relaxing. It was close to Mt Dora but away from crowds and traffic.

Great location and amazing views. The house was perfect.

Amazing house. Amazing views. Perfect layout to give four different people or couples their space. Huge kitchen, dining room and living room combo. Decks/patios on every level. Three of the four bedrooms have direct access to decks. Rooftop deck perfect for sunrises over the ocean. Too many cool features and gadgets to mention. We'll be back.

We are in Jacksonville and we go to Vilano Three or four times a year this was one of the nicest stays we’ve had we used the elevator to move our belongings the different levels in the home made it very convenient. Everything was new and beautiful we booked another stay in July.

The house was amazing! We loved being right on the beach and it was easy to get to shops, restaurants, and downtown!
