Casa Di Fortune

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

With the gorgeous sands of Vilano Beach two miles to the east and the charming Historic District of St. Augustine less than a mile south, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to activities at this lovely family- and dog-friendly home, tucked into a large yard and surrounded by trees. Brew some coffee and spend the morning enjoying the outdoor space, taking your pick of the shady front porch or spacious back deck, complete with a ceiling fan and swinging papasan chair.

Inside, you’ll find a stylish, fully updated space, with hardwood floors, cool gray walls, and elegant furnishings. The open-plan living means the chef can make magic in the sleek, full kitchen while everyone hangs out nearby. The littles can perch at the kitchen island barstools while everyone else dines at the adjacent table, then pop the dishes in the dishwasher for an easy cleanup.

After a day of fun, you’ll love returning to relax in the central AC. If there’s a chill in the air, turn on the gas fireplace to keep things cozy. Grab a spot on the couch and watch some TV, use the in-home WiFi to post the day’s pics to social media, or play a friendly game of pool or foosball upstairs. Bedtime awaits in four comfortable bedrooms, but before turning in, step back out to that backyard deck for another turn in the papasan chair and a toast to finding the perfect St. Augustine getaway.

Perfect

This place was perfect for our family! Lots of room and things to do just in the property itself. The pool table wasn’t accessible but the owners had reached out to us prior to let us know the previous renters broke it. The location is perfect! Would definitely come back!

Great place in St. Augustine

This was such a great place to stay in St. Augustine. The house was laid out well and there was plenty of room for everyone. If you are going to stay in the historic district in St. Augustine this would be one place I would stay. We had everything there we needed it was close to the old jail and really everywhere in the historic district.

Great location!! Dog friendly!

Can't beat this location! If you are looking to take a trip and bringing your fur baby this is it. Short easy drive to Vilano Beach (Dog Friendly) & Grocery store. Walking distance from lots of attractions and all were Dog Friendly. Short drive to the Distillery, Winery and they are both dog friendly. House was perfect for our trip, was nice and clean when we got there. Yard is fenced is so we didn't have to worry about when we were outside with them. The only downer was the house is on a very busy intersection, lots of traffic. But you can't beat this location, we will be back.

Close to it all

So, all in all, the house is beautiful. It’s less than one block off the hwy and you can hear every car and car radio of cars on the main road. The knobs on the stove are stripped so some of the burners were difficult to turn on. We had no spatula and the place can use some kitchen cooking utensils. I would like to warn the elderly that the beds and couch are veryyy low, and there are a lot of steps to get upstairs. There are some very charming aspects, such as the front gate, the outdoor patio areas, the upstairs balcony, and the lights that line the inside of the fence. The contact I received were automateted, so while efficient, it lacked a personal touch.

In my opinion

Do NOT stay here! The house looks beautiful online and a week before I went online to try and find some real-life photos and I was unsure if the photos of the house were photoshopped or not. When we arrived we immediately noticed the grass has not been cut for our arrival, which was a huge sign that the house was not ready although we waited until our listed check in time. Once we went into the house we noticed that the house was warm although the thermostat was set at 68 degree and currently showing 80 degrees inside. As we began to settle in and put away our groceries we noticed there was a second trash can next to the sink that was completely full of trash left by someone else. There was a couple of highnoon alcoholic drinks and other trash but was completely full, clearly overlooked as the house was being prepped for our stay. During my walk through I noticed that the floors were dirty and as the evening went on we all noticed our shoes and socks were filthy from the floor. After a few hours we noticed the AC was not changing the temperature so I called the number for Vacasa and within an hour an AC repairman was there. He fixed the frozen ac unit and water began to drip in the game room upstairs so the pool table was out of commission until we moved it and put the extra trash can that we emptied to real use to catch the water. The next day we headed out to the beach and when we arrived back home the AC was again 80 degrees downstairs but 74 upstairs.

Bad experience

The air conditioning in the house was absolutely terrible! First night we found a bug crawling in the bed when checking the covers. There was no TV’s in any bedrooms so our kids were miserable when trying to go to sleep or relaxing from a day at the beach. Also the internet never worked. We did everything trying to get the air to work. We flipped the breakers and it just kept blowing out hot air. We tried to find the box to the internet to reset it. Never found it. The only TV’s in the house was the living room, but we couldn’t get the cable to work and the game room which was so hot!! On top of that there was no furniture in the game room to watch tv if you wanted to. There was tv mounts in all the bedrooms for some but no TV’s. The bathrooms had no trash cans. No where to hang towels. Just wasn’t very convenient! The game room had an open plus with no covering. So a kid could put their hand in there and it electrocute them. We blocked it with a container but was still worried the kids would move it. Also if you do decide to rent here don’t take a big vehicle. It’s SO hard to get in and out of the house. There was Always construction going on and we had to wait multiple times for them to move so we can get it. Even a smaller car would be a tight squeeze if you passed another vehicle. We contacted VRBO to see what they could do and they kept saying they will get back with us. They offered to relocate us the next day but we didn’t hear back. It wasn’t until the 4th day when they said they “found us something” but it didn’t accommodate our party. Again never heard back. We have all the texted messages back and forth throughout the stay and it just wasn’t relaxing at all. This is the most we had ever spent on a vacation home. We visit Florida 2-3 times a year and by far the worse experience. We would not rent here again unless things are updated and changed!
