Neighborhood highlights

Vilano Beach is Northeast Florida's best kept secret!
You can't beat the location with beach access at the end of the street, and downtown St. Augustine 10 minutes away.
* Tucked into a quaint seaside neighborhood between the sands of the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
* Neighborhood is laid-back and exudes good vibes from sunrise to sunset.
* 10 minutes to historic downtown St. Augustine, FL
* 5 minute walk to the beach
* 5 minute walk to the waterfront, neighborhood restaurant and bar (Cap's), which we highly recommend!...Our faves are the Tuna Tartare and ordering drinks on the pier, while watching boats pass by under the tiki hut.
* Also a short walk to the Reef Oceanfront Restaurant. (*We like to walk to the beach, then walk down the beach - entering the Reef property from the sand. They have a garden hose you can rinse your feet off with, and slip your sandals back on.)
*Aunt Kate's is also a super quick drive over a few streets and a great spot to grab lunch (Don't expect anyone to be in a hurry here!) Fishermen often clean their catch at the bait shop and the boat ramp usually has something going on.
* Gas station 5 minutes down A1A and the Vilano Town Center just past that; with Publix grocery store, liquor store, pizza joints, restaurants, etc.
*Or head North to check out Guana Estuary, Dam and Park; or keep heading up to Ponte Vedra Beach and Jacksonville Beach...it's a beautiful drive up and down A1A!
*Please drive carefully through our neighborhood, as there are usually kids, dogs and other folks out and about riding bikes, or on walks.

We're John and Whit and we design & build custom homes together! We have been laughing together for a very long time! We love living in Northeast Florida. There's such an emerging scene, yet it's mixed with a true Old Florida Flavor that makes us feel right at home. Vilano Beach is our favorite place around! It's a throwback to a simpler time, where you'll likely find us outside soaking up the sun, fishing, surfing, cooking or riding bikes.
