Week at Vilano

The stay was in a ground floor condo. The building had covered parking, swimming pool, and tennis courts. The oceanside of the condo opened onto a manicured yard that ran up to the main dune. Wonderful sunrises were witnessed through the picture windows. My wife even spotted an armadillo rambling through the yard. The inside had a huge leather sofa. Very comfortable! It also had a Peleton cycle that we did not try. Highlights was the deluge shower in the master bath and a message chair in the secondary bedroom. Kitchen utensils had some limitations. I suggest bringing a frying pan and a tea pitcher if you plan to have breakfasts and ice tea. The owner had good communication and everything was as advertised. We had a good week.

Appearance of condo

Condo needs to be freshened up. Needs repainted inside, all the doors need a good cleaning and painting including new door knobs. You could see the wear and tear and embedded grime. The window shades were old and not all of them pulled up and there was tape at the bottoms of the windows and doors. I would have expected a more fresh up-to-date interior with the amount of money we paid to stay in this unit. We did like that there were 2 bikes to use (however the chains were very rusty) and beach amenities to use, ie. chairs and beach towels. We didn’t expect to have to wash the provided towels and take out the garbage prior to checking out. Overall it was decent with the best part being right on the beach. .

Quick weekend get away

This is a wonderful property! It is a great location, nice and quiet. We came for a wedding in Jacksonville and it was a short 45 minute drive away. We were able to relax at the beach outside the back door and spent every night on the screened in patio. Definitely will be back!

Sea watch 7a

We just departed at 9am. We stripped the beds, took out the garbage and started the dishes and towels. Ideal for my sister and I but not so much for my mother. We didn’t realize she could not smoke anywhere on the property so we took her off campus multiple times a day. She is 84 with limited mobility. Interestingly, we saw many people smoking in the parking lot.

Would come back to this perfect location!

Thank You first for a great visit to your island. Your condo is in a perfect location with great amenities. All the kitchen appliances were great; however, you should know, the wine cooler was not working. That did not affect our stay at all. The condo was nicely decorated but if we could offer a few suggestions that might make you next guest more comfortable and maybe bring in additional money for you. The exterior was perfect. But a professional interior paint job would make the condo appear cleaner. And or a good deep cleaning would help especially moldings and baseboards. There was a very heavy odor of cat or dog, we had a guest with a dander allergy – please inform guests that’s pets have been allowed. Fresh and neat linens including bath rugs and towels. We did find burnt towels, stained sheets and comforters. Additional beach chairs would have been appreciated. We did have plenty of beach towels. The second bedroom had a few issues, the mattress/box spring was very noisy in the night. The bath needed some attention, mold in the shower and could use some new grout. The toilet ran almost constantly. We would stay with you again and would suggest your property.

Perfect for a family

This was the perfect spot for my family to spend the weekend! My husband and I took our 10 month old daughter and my parents and the space was perfect for all of us. It’s quiet, comfortable, and right on the water. Dan was great about getting back to me via messages as I began having questions when it was close to our rental. He was very kind and accommodating! We can’t wait to go back again!

The condo was in a great spot with easy access to S.t Augustine and Ponte Vedra. Wonderful restaurants very close by, Caps has an exceptional view and atmosphere. The condo was clean, quiet, and peaceful leading to a relaxing enjoyable stay. We took advantage of the pool early in the morning as well as lounging around it in the evening. Great place to stay for golfers, fishermen, and families looking for a place to unwind.

Great Time

We had a great time. Our grandkids enjoyed the ocean and pool. The condo easily slept six of us and truly made the beach relaxing and fun. The restaurants (Caps, Aunt Kate's and Beaches) were within three miles and the seafood was outstanding. Publix was was less two miles. We did visit the Whetstone Chocolates Factory in St. Augustine and enjoyed the tour and samples. The unit was clean with all the conveniences. We enjoyed the two five seat couches that were electrically controlled permitting us to fold the couchs into beds.. Vilano Beach is less crowded and there were several families at the Sea Watch. We met Keith the handy man and he was very helpful with info about the area. We plan to return and are grateful to the owner for being available and promptly answering our questions.

Everything you need to enjoy an amazing city.

We spent a few days at this property and it was perfect for our family. It is located right on the beach and in a very nice area. The property is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need to enjoy a stay in the area. Fall asleep and wake up to the sound of crashing waves. Have your morning coffee on the screen porch and watch the sun rise over the ocean. Enjoy the semi private beach or the pool. Whatever you do, you will feel right at home. This place is perfect for smaller families or two couples. Thank you for the beautiful, convenient property!

Location, location, location! Condo has fabulous beach access a few steps away.

This was our second year at the condo. Last year we stayed for one month and this year we returned for two months. We will be returning again next year for a February and March stay. We love the comfortable condo. It is well equipped and supplied with an abundance of everyday supplies which we find amazing! The owners are extremely accommodating and excellent at communicating. Couldn't ask for nicer people. Can't wait til next February!

location good, condo not so good

Am aware owner has contacted VRBO w/ "his side". Contacted him next day after arrival regarding TV usage, took him 2 days to get back to us. He in Chicago, wife teaches, & we did have both their #'s, but he said he would get back to us "after his return home" @ end of week we stayed, which we never heard anything from him until we had been home a week. The issues were 1 toilet running continually, had to turn water off to sleep. 1 faucet in MBA ran hot water so slowly took 20 minutes to run bath water, & shower could not be adjusted to comfort level. Faucet in K sink corroded, only sprayed, no stream(since replaced, he says)Both BR carpets had stains in many places (how he can deny that I do not know, as we took pictures), wall cracks, patches of walls near all front windows needed repair. His excuse is "settling". There are 6 closets in condo, w/ much paraphanelia, so we missed the supply of toilet paper (why not have a spare under each BA sink)? & bath mats in closets, not in tub/showers, no hand grabs for safety (we are 75 & 80), MBR bed has 6"platform sticking out near floor, around entire bed, bumped feet on getting out, so had to put pillow down, 2 nt. stands are so low that impossible to read in bed, had to move another table in from other BR, pantry door & other doors were dirty, need painting. The DR chairs/stools need slides, as very noisy when moving. Most of these issues could not be "fixed" while we were there, but the owner continued to receive emails & did not acknowledge our complaints as above & was very defensive when we notified him. EX: he cannot help the water company water pressure. When we vacation, it is our home, as we cook & try to enjoy our surroundings, & the weather was cold in St. Augustine, so we were inside a lot & do no appreciate what we were seeing/experiencing. A broken K. sink that only sprays is very annoying. The owner says he "never discounts", so we are stuck w/ paying for a condo in less than pristine condition. We waited until our damage deposit was returned to our visa before replying. We noticed the condo appears to be rented for Feb/March, & am sure a long term tenant will certainly notice the above issues. We even stated to him that we knew we could not resolve most of the issues but to be ignored is disturbing. We have used VRBO since 2006, sometimes rent 2 mos & always owners have been happy to correct problems. This owner denies existence of problems. We have pictures of all above.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Boutin

After a semi-retirement for us, we are off to new adventures so our paradise is back on the rental market for your enjoyment while we are gone. We have been coming to Vilano Beach for years due to its relaxed, non-commerical nature.

She is a kindergarden teacher, he is an executive at Amazon.

We now live in Arlington, Virginia, overlooking the Washington Monument.

Why they chose this property

We've been coming to Vilano beach for years. This area is mostly residential homes, with only a couple of condo complexes available in this immediate area. Thus, there is no congestion, minimal traffic and a wide beach available for your enjoyment. There are restaurants and a grocery store all within 1/2 a mile, and a gas station/convenience store about 100 yards down A1A.

You are still only a 10 minute drive to downtown Saint Augustine and all the landmarks, shops and restaurants. During "in-season" (May - September), there are water taxi's and trolleys that run from the Vilano beach pier area that can take you to downtown Saint Augustine, thus avoiding any worries about parking in the downtown area, which can be a challenge year-round.

What makes this property unique

This property features the ultimate vacation experience, in addition to a great option for a connected vacation for the business traveller. With a 1G MPS WiFi connection, speed is never an issue when streaming content or conducting conference calls on our multiple SMART TVs,.

Ocean Front and Ocean View. Ground Floor. Not many like it in Vilano Beach.
