I would really give it a 4.5. We truly enjoyed our stay and overall it met our needs beautifully. Location of house and access to the beach were great! Pool area really entertained the grandchildren! There were maintenance and cleanliness issues that were needed before our arrival.

Vilano Beach Quality
Fantastic Experience - The Vilano Beach property was well maintained, spacious and most importantly a friendly and responsive property management company. The house amenities from the kitchen to the pool were top-notch. Property distance to the ocean was a one minute walk. We will look forward to our next stay and our next opportunity to work with the property management company.

Great family vacation
The house was spacious. We had 11adults and we did not feel cramped. House was less than a city block from the beach. Beds were verycomfortable. House needs some updating with regard to plumbing issues in the master bedroom, dishwasher not in good shape. We found the refrigerator filter not working and the microwave light not working. Deck needs some attention. Some floor boards are raised. Pool was clean and had a good seating area. Need more bath, hand and kitchen towels considering the number of people this house accommodates. Kitchen needs oven pans, hand strainer, and serving spoons. We like to cook and found that the kitchen utensils were not sufficient to prepare meals for 11 adults. We had a great stay though and recommend this house for family reunions.

Amazing Vacation Spot
Our family enjoyed staying at Second Wind June 18-25th. Beautiful home! The cleanliness and many amenities and "extras" made our stay relaxing. It was well equipped for our 2 year old granddaughter's every need. Short walk to an almost private beach area and sunny weather topped off the trip! Thank you for a great stay!

Three generations can all enjoy this home
The owners have thought of everything. It was clean, the linens and towels were great - nothing threadbare or scratchy here. The layout of the home is perfect for families with older children. One suggestion I have would be to have a couple flashlights in prominent places. An electrical storm knocked out power soon after our arrival. It was very dark, phones were dying and we weren’t familiar with the layout of the house.
When you want to visit st Augustine but not be in the city, this is a perfect spot.

2nd wind
Everything was very nice. The location worked well for us. It was a lot closer to the beach than we expected and not far from all the restaurants and shops.
The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The beds and towels were exceptional. My grandkids enjoyed the toys for the pool, and the wagon for the beach was helpful.
Umbrella for the pool needs upgraded.
We would stay here again for sure.

Best Location
My friends and I couldn’t have asked for a better VRBO experience. The property was exactly as portrayed; very clean! The pool was amazing. The ice maker and large cooler were clutch for boating days. We all loved the location; close to St. Augustine downtown but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful at night. We enjoyed the quick 2 minute walk to the ocean. There were several wonderful restaurants within walking distance as well. Highly recommend this property!

St.Augustine Family Vacation
Our family looks forward to our summer trip from the time we leave our weeks vacation, we are already planning for the next year. This place did not disappoint. Gretchen thought of everything. The pool was excellent, beds were so comfortable, and every beach item you can think of was in the garage for your convenience.
The most used item in the house was the ICE MACHINE! You never had to go to the store for ice which was awesome for a big family. I highly recommend.

Excellent House and great location.
House was extremely clean. It was well stocked with everything we needed. The kids had so much fun in the pool and it is so private which we loved. The beach access is just a cross the road and a short walk so we walked the beach every morning.
We would definitely recommend this property.
