Designer's "Treehouse" just 4 Houses From the Beach!

The next best thing to beachfront! Grab your beach gear and walk just 2-5 mins to the quiet community beach entrance located only three houses away (this is not a popular entrance because there is NO public parking). Don't worry about bringing gear we provide your boards, toys, towels, beach wagon and umbrella.

Spend your evenings laughing and reconnecting as you roast S'mores around the fire pit or grill up dinner on the Weber grill. Enjoy long talks on the deck shaded in the day from the live oak trees and lit up at night with cafe lights hung overhead, all while listening to the lullaby of waves a few blocks away and savoring the ocean breeze.

Inside relax in a professionally designed home with name brand furnishings from stores like West Elm, Article and Crate and Barrel. Sleep all the kids in the bunk room that can sleep five or the room next door that sleeps an additional two. Parents escape to the top floor that we call "the perch" because it is perched among the trees, making you feel like you are sleeping in a luxury treehouse. Vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and a private deck makes this is a primary suite dreams are made of and a place sweet dreams are made! Need to work, we have a desk in every room so any group can find a place to work remotely.

Want to explore historic St. Augustine? Easy-- we're just 7-10 mins from the historic area. Want to stay closer to home, take a walk to Aunt Kates riverfront restaurant or drive a few mins to famous Caps on the Water or the Reef restaurant both located on the water. Enjoy the laid back surfing vibe of Vilano community and wave to the neighbors as they zip by in golf carts.

The comfortable and professionally designed house, the beach just four houses away, the location on highly desirable Vilano Beach and only 7-10 mins to downtown makes this house one of the most popular houses in St. Augustine!

Note: that we have year-round neighbors and cannot accept parties or large events of any kind.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a private yard. Housekeeping is available on request.

Great location!

This home was in the perfect location for us. Half a block from the beach but in a quiet neighborhood is ideal for our family. The beach chairs, boards, toys, and towels were a great thing to have. Would definitely recommend this to others! Close to everything but just far enough away for it to be incredibly peaceful. The home was stocked with everything we needed and the owners were very responsive to our question upon arrival.

Awesome House 🏖️

I would definitely recommend this home for a beach vacation. The home has a cool layout with plenty of room. It has a nice backyard with beautiful, lush St. Augustine grass complemented with plenty of shade to beat the sun after a day on the beach. We brought our cornhole boards and enjoyed that outside area very much. I think one of the nicest touches that really separated this home was the extras. From Surfboards, Boogie boards, & beach chairs to cooking oils and spices. Away from home and like a little cayenne pepper in your eggs? Boom, there it is! These details along with very gracious owners felt more like we were renting a beach house from family. We definitely plan on coming back. Oh... 1 last tip... Aunt Kate's restaurant right down the road is freaking awesome! We ended up eating there twice.

We traveled with our adult children (18-24) to a large family reunion in South Ponte Vedra beach. This house was great for us to stay in. Clean, close to the beach, great kitchen, well stocked, perfect bedrooms and close to everything. Thanks for the great stay.

Family Getaway

We loved our stay at the tree house! The house was adorable, the yard and patio were wonderful. The kids enjoyed the swing in the backyard and the beach toys. It was very helpful to have the outdoor shower to rinse the sand off after a day at the beach, and we enjoyed grilling and eating on the patio for dinner to unwind after exploring St. Augustine. The walk to the beach was very easy and the beach wasn’t crowded at all. We all had plenty of space to relax and everything we needed was provided. We had a wonderful time and would love to visit again.

Fantastic Location

We loved the location of this home. Super close to the beach and within walking distance of three restaurants, which was super convenient. Not having to worry about bringing beach gear or towels was a big plus! The main room upstairs gets a lot of natural light, especially early in the morning (no problem for an early riser). We enjoyed our stay in this home.

This house was perfect for our girls getaway. The location is excellent for getting away from the busy city of St. Augustine while being only a 10 min. drive away. A short walk to the beach and then a nice deck with a grill to chill out, The kitchen was well stocked with small appliances and dishes. The house was filled with natural sunlight and decorated very nice with little touches of home, I highly recommend staying here and would do so again.

Quiet neighborhoood close to beach

We loved this house. It was the perfect base for our trip to St Augustine. An Easy drive across the bridge to all of the activities but far enough away to enjoy the quiet neighborhood as well. Also only about three houses from the beach. The house was cleaned and well stocked. The owner was very responsive. Would highly recommend. The only thing I would mention is the main treehouse bedroom has a very low bed so for older persons with bad joints it might be a little challenging getting out of that bed. But the other bedrooms were normal height beds. But overall this was a wonderful property!

Great Versatile Vacation

My husband and I drove over with our four adult children, and I must say, everybody had fun! There was something for the athletic ones, something for those that wanted to just relax and read, something for the foodies in the group, and most of all, many options for the whole family to enjoy together. Saint Augustine was great and this home was the icing on the cake. :-)
