My cousin and I choose a place we have never visited, for our birthdays each year (this was our 59th), and we are both very thankful that we chose this particular property in Vilano Beach. The property itself is beautiful and set in such a quiet, private and lovely location. It was wonderful to be able to take a walk each day and night around the beautiful neighborhood, to the pier, to the beach (which you can drive on if you wish), to local restaurants as well as a Publix grocery store.It was obvious to us that the management company takes a lot of time and energy to make sure everything is thought of inside the home. It was very clean and spacious and the rooms were very comfortable. The management companies' communication was also quick, helpful, kind and thoughtful.The home is also located close to downtown St. Augustine so it's quite easy to take a quick drive to wander around and see all that St. Augustine has to offer.We both truly recommend this lovely home if traveling to the area; we couldn't be happier about our choice and our time in Vilano Beach.

A Wonderful Stay
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Sandpiper Cottage. The place was everything and more than we anticipated. The home was immaculate and well furnished with everything we could need. We enjoyed the front porch and the large - perfectly clean windows. Check in and out was smooth and easy. The home is in a perfect location to walk to the beach, restaurants and Publix. We very much enjoyed our time and would love to return in the future. Thank you!

Great Stay.
Husband and I stayed with daughter and son in law for a week. The cottage was very clean with enough room for us. We never felt we were crowded.
Kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfort. ( linens included.) Husband said couch was "too comfortable."
We were a walkable distance to the beach and short drive into town. Would recommend the cottage to others.
