Summary
A cheerful yellow cottage in Vilano Beach, just a 3-minute walk to the beach. Spend the day on the sand, then rinse off in the private outdoor shower, fire up the propane grill and finish the evening around the wood-burning fire pit in the garden. Inside are two bedrooms (a queen and two twins), a full bath, a fully equipped kitchen and air conditioning. Historic downtown St. Augustine is about a 10-minute drive across the bridge.
Space
The cottage A bright, single-story Vilano Beach cottage with warm wood floors, coastal colors and a lush tropical garden. It sleeps four comfortably, which makes it a good fit for a couple, two couples or a small family. Bedrooms and bath The primary bedroom has a queen bed, a ceiling fan and closet space. The second bedroom has two twin beds, a ceiling fan, a small dresser and a closet, which suits kids or friends traveling together. One full bathroom with a walk-in shower sits just off the main hallway. Kitchen and dining The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender and drip coffee maker, plus cookware, dishes and wine glasses. Meals happen at the kitchen island, which seats four: two stools along the front and a bench behind it. Outdoor living The yard is where this cottage shines. Rinse off after the beach in the private, enclosed outdoor shower with its own bench. Grill dinner on the propane grill (propane supplied), then gather around the wood-burning fire pit with Adirondack chairs (bring your own firewood). Covered porches, an outdoor sink and garden seating round it out. Comfort and convenience Central air and heat, ceiling fans throughout, Wi-Fi, a living-room smart TV (sign in with your own streaming accounts; there is no cable), an in-home washer and dryer, an iron and ironing board, and hair dryer. Parking and entry Free parking for up to four cars. Please park in the designated spots. The home is raised, so there are exterior stairs up to the entry.
Guest Access
You'll have the entire cottage, porches and yard to yourselves, including the outdoor shower, grill and fire pit. Check-in is self-service; arrival instructions are sent by email and text before your stay. The storage areas beneath the house are closed to guests.
Getting Around
A car is the easiest way to explore. There is parking for up to four cars in the designated spots. The beach is about a 3-minute walk, downtown St. Augustine is about 10 minutes by car across the bridge, and Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is about an hour's drive north. Vilano Beach allows beach driving with a permit or fee at this access; check current rules and fees before driving onto the sand.

Neighborhood
Vilano Beach is a laid-back barrier-island community between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, with a quieter, small-town feel than the busier beaches to the south. The cottage sits on a quiet residential street with fencing and landscaping for privacy, and the beach is about a 3-minute walk (0.1 mile) down Zamora and Palencia Streets to the public access, for long walks, shelling, surfing and sunrise. Vilano Beach allows beach driving with a permit or fee at this access, so a 4x4 can go right onto the sand. Vilano's small town center has local spots to eat and grab a coffee. When you want history and nightlife, historic downtown St. Augustine is about 10 minutes by car across the bridge: wander St. George Street, tour the Castillo de San Marcos, browse the Aviles Street galleries and stay for dinner on the bayfront.
