Sleeps 18! Pool, HotTub, Game Room, Blocks to Beach | Vilano Villa by AvantStay
Just a six-minute stroll from Surfside Park Beach, Vilano Villa is the 15th home in the Overmoon family. With 7 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and more than 4,000 square feet of recently renovated living space, this ideally located home can accommodate up to 18 guests.
Our guests 5 favorite things about this home:
1. Youre surrounded by walkable outdoor adventures. Tromp north and you can check out the boardwalk at sunset at Nease Beachfront Park. To the west, you can fish the Tolomato River. Head east and youll find yourself lounging on one of the areas best (and most chill) beaches. Or just amble down to the end of the block to toss the ball around at the neighborhood park. Seriously, there are no bad options here.
2. The private, heated saltwater pool and hot tub. We love the beach, and we have nothing against community pools. But theres nothing like being able to take a dip in your own heated backyard pool after you come back from the beach, or relaxing in the hot tub after the little ones are asleep. Oh yeah, and theres a built-in grill in the back patio area that makes for epic evening cook-outs.
3. You can also hit the city. Dont let your nature-infused surroundings fool you; this home is also just mere minutes from downtown St. Augustine and the quaint, walkable streets of the citys historic district. We suggest visiting St. George Street, the premier thoroughfare for pedestrians to explore shops, bistros and long-standing favorites like Whetstone Chocolates, one of our favorite tours (and tastings) in town.
4. The bunk/game room. While the adults in your group will spread out in bedrooms full of Florida-forward flavor, your young ones will clamor to stay in the diversion-packed game room that doubles as a kids bedroom. In the daytime, the grown-ups can venture here to take on their juniors at shuffleboard or on the wall-mounted arcade game. But at night, this space becomes the lair of your little ones, sleeping three lucky kiddos in the twin-over-full bunk bed.
5. The towering living room. Enter the front door to a main living area that will have you dropping your bags and craning your neck skyward to take in the halo-like chandelier and wood coffered ceilings two stories above. Framed by a soaring sky-blue feature wall dotted with a cluster of cloud-like shape art, this room provides a legitimate whoa moment that will have you smiling before youve even settled onto the sleek room-length sofa or eased into the stylish mid-century lounge chairs.
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!
As the oldest city in the United States, St. Augustine blends rich history with coastal charm. Stroll along the cobblestone streets of the historic district, where centuries-old architecture, vibrant shops, and lively cafés bring the past to life. Explore the iconic Castillo de San Marcos, take a scenic boat tour along Matanzas Bay, or relax on the pristine beaches just minutes from downtown. With world-class golf courses, charming bed-and-breakfasts, and a thriving food scene, St. Augustine is the perfect destination for history lovers and beachgoers alike.

Great location, big and spacious
The house was well equipped with items we needed for a large family for a week. There was plenty of space for all of us and we were not on top of each other. We were here during a cold spell and use of the hot tub was really nice. Bonus, the house has beach chairs, sand toys and wagon, etc to take to the beach. Really nice surprise since we can’t travel with beach things! House is also close to the beach, we walked there every day. Neighborhood is quiet and safe!

NOT WHAT ADVERTIZED
cleanness is not as advertised or reviewed. even though the owner did keep in though they acted like our concerns were not important. House was not cleaned to our satisfaction and even after they sent "someone to clean they did not clean what they were supposed to. it is a big house, if you are not caring of cleanness and comfort then you can rent here if not, I recommend you don't. the owners keep asking me to work during my vacation time to submit pictures and text other people to help us with our issues. We did not have a good experience at all.

Fantastic family and friends vacation!
We loved our stay at this property! The description is exactly as it is in the listing. We had 2 families with 4 kids under 7 years old. The layout of the house was perfect for us and all the extra safety features for little ones gave us great peace of mind.
The decor was beautiful! And the kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking appliance you could need. The owners were incredibly responsive for big and even the smallest of questions we had.
The separate TV/game room was awesome!
We would definitely return to this property!

Awesome Stay
My family and I enjoyed our stay. It was 10 adults and 2 children with plenty of space to play and relax. The kids enjoyed the kitchen playroom and the adults enjoyed the game room with a huge TV, minibar, air hockey table and reclining sofas. Overall a great experience and the one time we had to contact the owner she responded quickly which was awesome!

An amazing property that allows for you to have your own zone!
We had a great time, and the owners were amazing in helping us with our needs. We had expected 2 playpens when we got there, and unfortunately one had been taken from a previous guest. The owners, ordered a new one at Target for the next day and we picked it up! The only trouble we had was with how to get music going( there was surround sound it looked like) and how to make the TV's to work...LOL. But it worked out okay as we ended up playing games instead (even better) Thank you Marissa & Dustin it was amazing!

Great location, spacious house
We had a great time at this rental property. The location was perfect: a quiet neighborhood setting with easy access to the beach and a short drive to the heart of St. Augustine. The weather was great and the beach was never crowded. When we weren’t at the beach we spent most of our time outside at the pool. The spacious house made it possible for everyone to talk with each other even if we were not in the same room.

2021 VACA
Property was overall good. Pool is beginning to need some maintenance [loose tiles which could be a trip hazard if not careful].
Very roomy- plenty of space. The kiddos [grandchildren] loved the game room and our 5 year old granddaughter played in the play kitchen for hours during the week. Those areas were well used. Our grandchildren are 10, 8 and 5. Short walk to the beach which is a little farther than I prefer, but parking was never a problem at the public parking space.
May want to take extra hand washing cloths for the master bedroom on main level. We made it work, but needs more towels in that area. We just borrowed from other bathrooms.

We had a great time at the house!
The house is very big! The bedrooms are larger than expected. Everything was very clean. The owner answers texts immediately! The gas was out for the weekend which we were initially upset about but the top of the stove is gas and the bottom part for baking is electric. We used the stove outside to boil potatoes for Easter dinner.
The owner was upset and did everything they could to get it back on. The gas company said they were short handled. We still had everything except hot water, fireplace, heated pool, and gas for the stove. The owners gave us 100 dollars to order in if we would like to.
The pool is so fun! We had a home on the beach first and the owner for that cancelled and we had to take this one. The owner was so nice about the entire process of putting our trip off due to covid. We never had issues. I would say the one big negative is the price per the location. We paid more money for this house and it was off the beach by two blocks. Fun trip though !! The game room was so nice we had to pry the teens out of it. Lol We used their bikes, beach toys, and a cooler they had.

Amazing Location!!!
Great Location on Vilano Beach/St. Augustine! Just a short walk to the Atlantic coast beach yet such a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed this tastefully decorated home and quiet backyard pool and tub. Beautiful bridges and waterways to explore with a short drive to St Augustine's historical Castillo and St. George street. The kitchen is well-equipped and 2 dining areas gave us plenty of room to unwind. Loved the front porch area for morning coffee and the fireplace for chilly evenings. Our 2 year old grand daughter loved the upstairs play room kitchen. Would hightly recommend this VRBO!

Spacious, lots of amenities!
This was a great place to stay for a semi large family getaway (10 folks) during current pandemic. It had plenty of space if you still want to keep safe distance.
Kitchen was well stocked and good place to cook and connect with a family. Paired with a nice dining area and open to the living room meant you could always talk/eat. Also liked that there was no TV in the adjacent living room, meant less noise/distraction.
Was pretty clean. Nothing gross, but the dishwasher was not working properly so ended up handwashing our dishes. Mild inconvenience which the hosts were responsive too. Did have to rewash some of the dishes in the cupboard before we used because the person before must not have realized the dishwasher wasn't working properly. Pool had debris in it, but it was too chilly to swim so we didn't use much anyways. In general tiptop shape, comfortable beds, clean living areas, etc. Good amenities, able to wash clothes, couple of bikes, etc.
Really liked the neighborhood. Pretty easy walk to the beach, nice park nearby with basketball goals and open field. Tennis courts. Very walkable and quiet. Felt very social distance friendly, no crowded boardwalks, etc.
It felt like home. We were able to settle in and be an extended family for a bit, and do that very comfortably/safely. Very grateful for that, its been a weird year!!! Thanks!
