Guest Access: You will have access to the entire home and lot.
The Neighborhood: The beautiful and highly sought after Vilano Beach area is pristine landscape. Our particular location is a close to 3 amazing Vilano beach restaurants including The Reef, Aunt Kate's, and world famous Cap's on the Water. In addition, the exclusive beach is a short 9 minute walk.
Getting Around: Ubers and Lyfts are plentiful and available, but downtown St Augustine is also only a 5 minute drive.
Other Things to Note: Safety: The hallways are lit with photosensor nightlights, so you can see your way at night when moving throughout the house. Attached at each photosensor light is an emergency, battery pack powered light, that can be detached and automatically turns into a flashlight. There are multiple escape routes throughout the house that are listed at the bottom of this handout. There is a motion sensor light over the main driveway.
Pool Alarm: There is a pool alarm located on the sliding doors leading to the backyard. Anytime this door is opened or closed, the silence button needs to be activated prior to opening or the alarm will go off. This alarm is loud, on purpose! This prevents children and other youngin's from being unattended around the pool area. This cannot be turned off or unplugged.
Below the sink is the fire extinguisher, as well as the first aid kit.
The solo firepit is staked to the ground, there is a hose connected to the side of the house can be used to douse a fire if needed.
You will be given a code that only is available to you, it will be given to you 24 hours prior to your departure and is deleted and invalid within hours of checkout.
The Retreat at Vilano is a fantastic place for families and children of all ages. While it is family-friendly, it is not child-proof. Furniture is not bolted into the walls, and drawers and cabinets are not equipped with child safety fasteners or locks. Ultimately, you accept responsibility for the safety of all guests including children <18 years old. We do provide a child gate, as well as a pack and play. There is also an alarm on the sliding glass window that needs to be silenced before opening it. This keeps little kids from wondering into the pool area.
Interaction with Guests: We will do our best to offer any help you need, but we offer a self check-in that is 100% fully automated should that be what you prefer.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Amazing stay
This house is GORGEOUS, we all loved it. The yard is smaller than it looks but still plenty big for all the loved ones. There is a dog wash station which we definitely used because the yard is muddy but it didn’t deter from the stay at all. Jeremy and Laura were great to communicate with and if we go back we would definitely stay there again!!

Room for all
This property was in a great location, fully stocked, and had room for our whole group to hang out. The beds were comfortable. The beach supples were in great condition. The pool is essentially a round horse trough about mid thigh in height. The bottom is peeling and was dirty but the owners did send someone over to check on it. Check in was easy and the owners responded in good time to any questions we had.

Great Beach House Set Up for the whole family!
Location is fantastic...walking distance to the beach! The house is clean, cute and has lots of sleeping options. The kitchen is well stocked and has more than you could need. We loved the big sectional to seat the whole family together to hang out together. The backyard is set up for both daytime and nighttime fun with the pool and the fire pit. We'll be back!

Beach Days
This was the perfect place to relax and get to the beach easily and enjoy the private nature of the beach location. The house was well equipped and Jeremy was a fantastic host. Very proactive in communicating and provided very helpful tips on places to eat and things to do. We had a big group and there was plenty of room and loved all the beach chairs we had for our use. It was an enjoyable walk to the beach each morning for sunrise and would recommend this home to anyone looking for some quality time by the beach.

Lovely Stay for a Girls Weekend
We had a lovely time staying at the house. It was well-situated near the beach and a short drive to the historic center of St. Augustine. The house is beautifully decorated (one of the most beautiful I've stayed in) and very well-stocked. It was the perfect getaway for a girls' weekend and I'm looking forward to returning next year!

Loved everything about this place
This was perfect home to be in all sense. The hosts were the most kind people I have found on vrbo, the house had nothing missing, the location from the beach was so ideal that if we come to St Augustine again this is where we will be, best part, Vilano beach was not crowded at all!!!! There is a park closeby as well for children. The house inside and outside was beautiful! Would love to stay at this place again!

Location
We booked an offshore fishing trip and stayed at this property for 2 days. It is walking distance to the beach and there is everything you could possibly need. There are board games, ping pong, etc to keep you occupied if you need a break from the sun. The hosts emailed us places we should check out for dinner and fun. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you.
