Deck Lounge w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit, & Garage Game Room | Hidden Grove by AvantStay
Welcome to Hidden Grove! This bright, cheerful, and newly remodeled 4-bedroom bungalow has a playful vibe, is just a 5-minute walk to the beach, and has tons of fun features, both inside and out. With room for up to 10 guests, it can also be rented with our property next door, Haven Grove, to create a combined compound for larger groups.
Our guests 5 favorite things about this property:
1. You can't beat the location. Located in the quiet, coastal Vilano Beach area, you're sandwiched between one of the chillest beaches in the area and the shore of the Tolomack River (two blocks to your west). You're also approximately 6 miles away from historic Downtown St. Augustine.
2. The open floor plan. For bigger groups or two families traveling together, say the layout of this home hits the target. And nowhere does it do this better than in the combined kitchen, dining room, and living room. The space is big but connected enough for everybody to share a feeling of legitimate togetherness even while engaged in totally different activities, from cooking dinner to watching a movie, playing cards, or reading a book. It's the kind of space that will host your best trip memories, trust us.
3. Backyard made for entertaining. Hidden Grove sports a sophisticated back deck that has the feel of a cozy tropical escape, with its own hot tub, lounge space, and outdoor dining area.
4. It’s where form meets function. This charming bungalow not only offers a colorful, clean aesthetic with professionally designed decor inside and out, but it will host your crew effortlessly with tons of dishes, ample bathroom and laundry supplies, and surprising little extras throughout.
5. Bedrooms that fit everyone in your group. Hidden Grove has two bedrooms with king beds, a room with a full bed, and a bunk room perfect for smaller kids that has wall-mounted Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man games.

Perfect base for our family - beach & bay access!
Loved this rental home! It is comfortable, perfectly located for both the beach and bay, walking distance from Caps on the Water, and has everything you need for your stay.
The organization in this home can't be emphasized enough - and the management/ rental company is superb in their communication.

Lovely place.
The home was clean and bright and well appointed. Response times and results were spot on and pronto.
Just FYI, the homes in this area are close together and the street the home faces is on the way to a popular restaurant so during restaurant serving hours there is a lot of traffic back and forth, but we were soon able to figure it out and find alternate walking areas and times. The home though is lovely and embodies the essence of Florida.

Favorite VRBO to date!!!
First it’s close to everything! The ocean and river are within walking distance. The house is beautiful, spacious, & has everything you need. Besides walking - we never left the house! The couch is so comfy you could just sit in it forever and be content! The grill was clean, worked great as well as the hot tub out back. VERY happy with how clean and well maintained this cute little bungalow was!! Would definitely go back!

Lovely Getaway
You’re so close to the water, we walked over to watch the sunset and saw dolphins! Then we walked a couple minutes to the restaurant right down the street, this is walkability you don’t often get in Florida and it was amazing.The property comes stocked, the hot tub outside was so relaxing, would definitely stay here again! Everything is clean and the Overmoon team are incredible responsive if you need anything (you likely won’t though because there is so much stocked in the home).

Loved this home!
My friends and I headed to this Overmoon property for an impromptu weekend getaway to celebrate a recent accomplishment of mine and it was perfect! This adorable, beachy-bungalow was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay from wi-fi, surround sound, kitchen appliances, coffee, PAC-Man, and more! We loved the back yard deck with the string lights and it was nice having the hot tub and gas grill available. Loved the proximity to Caps on The Water, downtown St. Augustine, and Vilano Beach. It was a truly wonderful experience!
