Sand and Waves: side by side Beachfront Bliss
We stayed at Paola's place for a company retreat. We were able to book both houses and they very comfortably accommodated our group of 14, with room to spare. The houses were very comfortable. The property is amazing, with direct beach access and plenty of room. Paola was a great host. Very responsive and very helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect location for beach, downtown, amphitheater and peaceful serenity.
The stay here was wonderful! Molly the porch kitty was an added bonus! Close to downtown!

Manor on the Canal/Luxury Oasis/Pool-Hot Tub-Dock
The house and Brian were awesome. The house exceeded expectations. Brian was always easy to get ahold of and always friendly. We plan to try out Brian's other location!

Driftwood Cottage by the Sea
I can't remember which visit this is to Peter's house - maybe 7 or 8 now? My son and his family live in St. Augustine and we visit at least 2 to 3 times per year. I always check Peter's availability before we visit and if his unit is available, it is always our first choice! Meets all of our needs when we are there. Our two grandkids come and stay with us while we are there. Peter and his unit not only meets, but exceeds our expectations every time!

Pelican Inlet 2 Bedroom Condo Steps from the Beach
Large and nice apartment in a nice area. Large and great kitchen.

Cowboy Pool, Beach, Bike, Grill, Stroller, Dogs OK
Perfect two night stay for our family of 4. The first rental in a while that everyone, even our teenagers, had zero complaints about. Our hosts were extremely responsive and bent over backwards to get us a corkscrew the day we checked in and wanted to open a bottle to celebrate my wife's birthday. A very quick drive to the public access point of our favorite beach or a reasonable walk to the private boardwalk. The house was very clean and comfortable and good value. It was a nice spot to take a few zoom meetings for my work.

Walk to beautiful Vilano beach
Clay was the nicest Airbnb host our family has ever had. He was super friendly and made great local restaurant suggestions for us. The rental was clean, had plenty of extra linens/towels, kitchen supplies and was a short walk to beach access. The neighborhood was very nice and we felt very safe to take family walks in the evenings.

Beach and Pool Retreat in Palm Coast
This was the perfect spot for our family vacation! The short walk to the beach and heated pool kept us all entertained. The high chair, pack n play, children’s books, baby gate, pool and beach toys really made the home standout as a family with young kids. We were able to grill out and enjoy all of our meals outside on the beautiful wrap around porch. The downstairs game room and bar helped keep the fun going when the afternoon rainstorms forced us inside. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not working for the first day we were there, but the host worked diligently to get it serviced. We were able to enjoy it for the rest of our stay. We are already making plans to visit again soon!

Your guide to Vilano Beach
All About Vilano Beach
Located five miles north of St. Augustine, this peaceful island getaway is revered for its vast stretches of golden sand, clear blue water, and beautiful natural scenery. Vilano Beach is a prime spot for swimming and surfing, and it makes excellent grounds for beachcombing and hunting for shark’s teeth, a local pastime. The Vilano Pier, extending 600 feet into the Atlantic, is a popular spot for anglers and anyone wanting to catch a view of St. Augustine from across the water. The pier also provides one of the best vistas to watch the sunset over downtown.
Local cafes and restaurants featuring fresh ingredients and multicultural cuisine dot the landscape of this beach community where stone crab and other fresh seafood are a prominent part of local dining. Historic and vintage buildings, including the Irish-inspired Castle Otttis, the former Alcazar Hotel (now home to the Lightner Museum), and a 19th-century jail are scattered throughout town, each offering insight into the area’s history.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Vilano Beach
Spring and summer in Vilano Beach boast pleasant temperatures and optimal conditions for enjoying the city’s outdoor recreation, including swimming, surfing, boating, shell hunting, and fishing. In May, Vilano Beach hosts a major watercross competition, providing excitement for spectators along the beach. In August, you can catch a skimboarding tournament, which is open to the public. During the fall and winter months, temperatures dip slightly but remain comfortable.

Top things to do in Vilano Beach
Castle Otttis
Built for aesthetic and artistic purposes between 1984 and 1988, Castle Otttis is a stone castle that emulates Irish castles from nearly 1,000 years ago. The picturesque landmark stands along the St. Augustine shoreline and is surrounded by dense, lush greenery. While you need an appointment to visit the grounds, Castle Otttis is also easily admired from a distance.
The Lightner Museum
In downtown St. Augustine, the Lightner Museum sits in the former Alcazar Hotel, which was once a Spanish Renaissance Revival hotel but now resides on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it’s home to an array of antiques, including 19th-century American and European paintings, mechanical musical instruments of the Victorian era, and special exhibits. The permanent collection, spanning four floors, is brimming with historical artifacts primarily from the gilded age and Victorian era.
Vilano Beach Nature Boardwalk
The Vilano Beach Nature Boardwalk stretches a quarter-mile and travels under the Francis and Mary Usina Bridge. The peaceful setting provides unique vistas and scenic views of the salt marsh. At the boardwalk entrance, vibrant mosaics depicting wildlife will welcome you.
