Stayed here for my wife’s birthday with some friends. The house was clean, easy to access, and close to a Publix which makes it very convenient. Also just a quick 10 minute drive to downtown St. Augustine. Overall great experience and a fantastic beach house!

Coming back next year

What a wonderful stay here. The home has all you need. The access to the amazing beach is priceless. Walking to the small town center is easy and the beach beats anything we saw on the Gulf Side. While there are many homes rent on Vilano, buyer beware, some are very far north and not walkable to anything. Others, while also on the beach, might not be high enough and so your view is blocked by the sand dunes. The views from Surfside C are amazing. Photo are very accurate. There are a surprisingly number of restaurants on Vilano Beach too. And St. Augustine proper, with all the history and restaurants is a 10 minute drive, give or take. The location really cannot be beat. Excited to come back next year!

Lovely place. We’ll return! My only suggestion for making the stay even better would be to put ceiling fans in the two larger bedrooms. No biggie, though!

I absolutely love this property!! The location. The view. Everything about it was spectacular!! The only thing I would say that could be better is the carpet. It could be cleaner.

Ultimate Beach Experience

Beautiful, open concept home, perfect for our family! Right on the beach, which is a necessity with small children. Publix just 0.5 miles away, and downtown St. Augustine 2 miles away. The windows provided 360 view of the beach! We will be back!

Beautiful location

This house has the best porch over looking the beach, which is also gated and perfect for little kids and puppies. If is too hot, there is a great view of the beach from the back windows as well. My family and I had a great time at this beach house and would definitely stay again.

Beautifully poised at the ocean

You can't get any closer or find a more gorgeous ocean view with private access. Large, simply but charmingly appointed living area, and outdoor deck. Well stocked kitchen (but no dishwasher detergent supplied). Plenty of towels, shampoo, body wash and lotion. Definitely bring gallon jugs of water to drink and brush teeth, the water smells bad. Was given wrong entrance code, but this was quickly and easily corrected. With a charcoal water filter, a few window screens this would be a 5+. As is, it's still a very lovely place. Would rate it 4.5 if I could.

Great Spring Break Trip

Surfside C is very clean, newly updated and comfortable. The house has everything you need, including cleaning supplies, shampoo/conditioner, soap, coffee filters, seasonings, plenty of dishes, glassware and good cookware. The views of the ocean are gorgeous and the abundance of large windows is especially nice for enjoying the scenery. The deck is large with comfortable outdoor furniture and a charcoal grill. The location is close to Publix and St. Augustine. Elite Vacations responded quickly when we had questions. Which was very nice. It was a great trip.
