About this property

Casa Vilano~steps to the beach, pet + family friendly, fenced yard, heated pool!

Indulge in the ultimate seaside escape at Casa Vilano, where every member of your family, including your beloved furry friends, is welcome! A newly constructed, three story upscale private home on Coastal Highway in a cul-de-sac with a large heated pool. Fall asleep in the moon light reflected off of the ocean and wake up and check the surf from bed. This four bedroom / four bath has incredible ocean views from the three bedrooms on the third floor and a poolside master bedroom on the first floor. There is a large heated pool with a sun shelf. Pool measures about 14' by 28' with a 6' sun shelf and a 5' deep end with a bench. There brand new heat pump and very nice outdoor shower.Family & pet friendly home steps to the ocean, two blocks to overpass beach cross walk and playground. Only 1/2 mile to closest boat ramp, beach access just across A1A, 1.8 miles to Publix at Vilano Beach Town Center, 3 miles to Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor marina and boat ramp & just over the Bridge is downtown.500lb nugget Ice Maker in garage. 3 new beach cruisers. Stainless steel grill. Child safety gates are available. Fully stocked kitchen. Surf boards. Fun games. 3 brand new 2 ton AC/heaters. Accommodates at least 10. New 75” UHD 4K TV in living room and TVs in bedrooms.

There are stairs in the house so may not be suitable for everyone. Drone pictures were taken before pool and fence were added. The home sits on A1A so there may be some noise from the traffic especially during bike week, doesn’t bother us but full disclosure. Our road is very quite and safe but look twice before crossing A1A. This is a fast growing area so there may be some new home construction nearby. Caps on the Water, Aunt Kate’s and the Reef restaurant are all very close and you can ride bikes. Caps is the BEST restaurant in St. Augustine. Full disclose: The house isn’t ON the ocean it’s across the street/A1A. It is Florida, so there can be sharks, bugs, rodents, snakes & other wildlife outside. The beach here is susceptible to erosion, usually in the winter. Hurricane season is in August so that could be a draw back if your don’t surf. The beach on the intracoastal side can have a strong current. If you have any other questions please send us a message.

All the comforts of home!

As others have said, we were very impressed with the amount of "little things" that made it feel like home. From K-cups, spices, and baking ingredients to beach items and TV apps, this place has you covered! We saved so many trips to the Publix (only 5 minutes away) because the place has so many of the little things in stock! Great location and views of the ocean! Great private pool and no complaints.

Best vacation house ever!

Casa Vilano was amazing! Perfect location with every amenity imaginable. Stocked kitchen, perfect fenced yard for our 2 dogs and a beautiful heated pool. The large ice maker was the best perk of all! Great layout for 2 families of 4. Teenagers loved all the streaming options as well. This oasis is the perfect location for a relaxing tropical way to spend spring break with our family and friends.

Stunning Beach house

We spent 6 days at Casa Vilano over the NYE holiday. The location was perfect, so close to the beach. Amazing views from second and third floor. Impeccably decorated and well stocked kitchen and pantry. The hosts thought of everything- we especially appreciated small details like extra toothbrushes, hair ties and make up wipes, not to mention the holiday decorations! The mattresses were the most comfortable of any house we’ve ever rented. Excellent communication from the hosts with every question we had. Can’t recommend this house enough.

La Casa Vilano

The short walk to the beach, which was basically private, comes as advertised. If swimming, tanning, surfing, boogie boarding and fishing, 25 yards from your residence is something you would be interested in, this is the place! The open floor plan, balconies and views were amazing. Ashleigh and Jimmy were the most accommodating hosts I have engaged with on VRBO. The place is a Home Run!

Best VRBO ever!

Fantastic property, incredibly well-stocked and appointed! Included everything you would need for a large family gathering and beach vacation. Beach toys, chairs, bikes, a kitchen, better stocked than most home kitchens! And the location was perfect! The sand and beach in this section of Vilano Beach is wonderful. No riptides, seaweed, kelp, or rocks! Just nice white powdery, sand and warm water. Can’t say enough great things about this property and location!

Perfect Beach House

As an extended family, we have been doing beach trips for 8 years. This house was our favorite. The open floor plan on the second floor was amazing with plenty of space and great views. The upstairs and downstairs bedrooms were spacious with firm king beds. The kids loved the pool and the beach access was so convenient. To top things off, our hosts stocked the house with plenty of amenities to make our stay exceed our expectations. We plan to book this house again.

Casa Vilano is, without question, the best family beach house we’ve ever stayed at. Ashleigh was amazing to work with & the house is fully stocked with anything a big family may need. The fact that we could brings our dogs & feel welcomed was icing on the cake. Great memories made before my daughter heads to college. We will be back!

Perfect beach home

This home is probably one of the best (if not the best) that we’ve stayed in. Nicely stocked kitchen. The large ice machine in the garage is a fantastic addition, made filling coolers for the beach a breeze. Lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, a wagon, and bikes there to use. The outside area of the house was awesome, great pool with an area for wading or putting in chairs to cool off. Lots of lounge chairs. The hammock was a nice touch. The views from all the decks was great. Even though it’s not immediately on the ocean, there were plenty of ocean views and was a super short and easy walk across the street. Loved that you are pet friendly! Our dogs enjoyed the yard and beach as much as we did! We will definitely stay again when we come back to the area.

Spectacular home with everything you could possible need!

Casa Vilano was perfect! Ashleigh provided lovely personal touches for our visit--we felt very special. The location is really great, just across from the white sandy beach--it was almost deserted during the weekdays. We surfed on boogie boards every day and fished from the shore. We enjoyed the pool every day as well. The ocean views were great from the 2nd and 3rd floor, so relaxing. The 1st floor suite was perfect for my daughter, her husband and their 11 month old (and their dog). It had a wet bar/fridge with a coffee station right in the room, along with a pack n play for napping. I would consider the kitchen a "cook's kitchen"- great for entertaining. We would book this beautiful property again in a heartbeat!

Best family vacation!

My family had a Wonderful vacation at Casa Vilano! The accommodations were perfect. Here are some highlights: * The layout of the house was great - Super big bedrooms, large kitchen, dining area, and living room, balconies with comfortable seating including swings (great for enjoying with the grandkids), and much more. * The sun shelf on the pool was perfect for our 2 and 3 year grandkids. They were able to stand and play in the water independently without someone holding them. * The beach was just across the street - a quick and easy walk. * Loved the outdoor shower! After a day of swimming in the pool and ocean, it was SO easy to clean up and wash our hair. We barely used the indoor showers!! * The owner provided lots of extras - water toys, beach towels, bikes (wonderful for riding on the beach), soaps and shampoo, multiple clothes washers and dryers, nugget ice maker, and lots of other amenities. * The owner was VERY responsive. Would love to stay there again!!

Our family of nine has an awesome vacation. The home is large and incredibly designed so that we could be totally on our own or sitting together on porch having a meal together. The beach was almost private. All of us spent time in the pool which was very nice. If you want the very best, choose this home!

Beautiful home!

My family and I loved staying here! It was perfect for a larger family and we all loved the pool and backyard area! Easy walk to the beach and close to St. Augustine. The house was clean and we loved all the decorative details. My only suggestion would be a more comfortable couch because it is very low and was hard for adults to sit and get comfortable. Other than that, we really enjoyed our week here! Would recommend!

Family Vaca at Casa Vilano

Casa Vilano was the perfect rental house for our family vacation! We stayed during the 4th of July week and you could see the St Augustine fireworks from the top balcony which was amazing! The house was equipped with everything you would need and more, we seriously should have just brought ourselves. The owners even left a fun gift basket with treats for our dogs and sparklers for the 4th of July holiday. Everything was so well thought out, and you can’t beat being right across the street from the beach!

The perfect family vacation!

This house is fantastic! It's spacious, clean, nicely decorated and in a great location. Our family of 11 (ages 6 to 60) plus 2 dogs had plenty of space to eat, play, spend time by the pool, go to the beach, and just enjoy time together. The beds and linens were very comfortable, and there were lots of towels-both bathroom and pool. The kitchen and pantry were stocked with lots of utensils, spices, and appliances. The nugget ice machine was definitely amazing! There was nothing we needed that wasn't already there! It felt very relaxing and inviting. We also appreciated that there was a washer and dryer on the first floor as well as on the third floor. The bedroom suite on the first floor was perfect with a wet bar and door to the outside shower and pool area. The pool was wonderful and there's plenty of back yard for playing games. There's a gorgeous view of the ocean from the balconies, and comfortable seating as well. The walk to the beach was very short - the path is right next to the driveway. It's just across A1A, and it's beautiful. It was not at all crowded when we were there (5/11- 5/16/2022). Communication with Ashleigh was excellent from my very first inquiry. She was always prompt, pleasant and polite. I have nothing negative to say about this lovely home - I highly recommend it and can't wait to book it again!

WOW what can I say-Fantastic Stay!

This was the best vacation rental. This spacious beach house, located in a very nice area in Vilano Beach, has absolutely everything you could want: Prime location, great fenced in backyard with a heated pool, steps from the beach, comfortable beds, quality linens, towels galore, every kitchen gadget and appliance you could possibly want, beautiful ocean views, big screen tv's on every floor, giant jet tub, large decks with seating and swing chairs. I thoroughly enjoyed my week and was able to relax and take my dog across the street (barely any traffic in the morning) every day. The beach was perfect-not a lot of people. The back yard was a great way to unwind with the chair and parasol in the pool -plenty of seating -and a hammock attached to two palm trees. There is a bedroom next to the pool with a wet bar which was so convenient-and a nugget ice machine. This house is very tastefully decorated with many personal touches throughout- plenty of beach towels, bathrooms had had make up remover pads, pony tail holders etc(too many to list.) The kitchen was terrific and if you like to cook you will really appreciate it being so well stocked. Everything was so clean. When I had a few questions and called Ashleigh and Jimmy -they were so kind and quick to respond. To add a personal note-when I left I realized that I had left a few items behind and spoke to Ashleigh and Jimmy to see if they could be found. Not only did they say they would look for me-I received everything within a few days. I hope to be a regular at Casa Vilano. A beautifully run, first class beach home!!

The house was very spacious and the owners go over and above..providing everything you need from toilet paper, beach and bath towels, spices, soap, coffee I could go on but the list is endless. The house is private and far enough away from St. Augustine to stay out of the crowd but close enough to drive over the bridge to it. I can't say enough about it. Everything was perfect!

A family experience to cherish!!! A true pleasure!

Casa Vilano was amazing! We had the pleasure of calling this home for eight days and it felt just like home. Casa Vilano is so warm and welcoming. Everything you possibly need is right at your fingertips. When we arrived, we were in shock at all the items available to us to make our stay complete. For example, we love to cook our own meals on vacation, and the kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The table was the perfect size for our family to dine comfortably and accommodating for game nights. We brought our own games, but Ashleigh and Jim have several available as well. The house was very clean and the beds comfortable. We thought the beds might be a bit soft compared to our regular mattresses, but they turned out to be just right. There were plenty of towels stocked in the bathrooms and for the beach. The beach was a two-minute walk across the street, and it was very nice to have a direct access path right out the front door. The road to cross (Hwy A1A) is busy, but, with some patience, traffic gaps arrive for a safe transition to the beach. The beach was clean, beautiful and dog friendly. Not too many people either. However, if we did not want to go to the beach, the pool and backyard at Casa Vilano were tremendous. The outdoor furniture was comfortable, and the pool toys were ideal for our 12-year-old granddaughter to enjoy. Casa Vilano is also very accommodating for furry family members. Our dog loved the back yard and walks through the neighborhood. The neighborhood is very safe and pleasant. My family looks forward to another visit to Casa Vilano in the future! By the way, we were a family of six that ranged in ages from 12 to 60 ish! 😊 It was ideal for all of us. We highly recommend Casa Vilano!!

Amazing home and location

This house is the most well equipped house I have ever stayed in. The kitchen had absolutely everything you need from dishes, pans, utensils, spices, oils, foils...the list goes on and on. The location is perfect. You can see the ocean from the house easily. Then it is just a short walk across the road to access the beach right by the house. The beach is beautiful. We really liked staying in Vilano Beach. It is close to St. Augestine, but not as busy. The house is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Great porches to relax on and enjoy the ocean view. The pool area is great. We loved that we could heat the pool! This house has everything you want in a beach home. The host was great with communication and we appreciated the welcome gifts which were such a thoughtful touch. Trust me you will not be disappointed if you rent this home.

Why they chose this property

This property us unique among others at the beach. The beach houses in the area have small driveways right on A1A, Coastal Highway, which is very dangerous for kids and pets. We built on A1A but our driveway comes off of 22nd St. so we still have great ocean views with beach access but we don't have to worry about the traffic hazards.
