Son just moved into dorm for college at Flagler.
This was a perfect little spot for me to decompress from my son’s move in day at Flagler college. I wanted to be close by but not TOO close. This was such a short drive to him and. Location was right next to the beach. Would stay here again.

Great small beach house!
Small bungalow great for one or two couples. Clean, steps from the beach. Cold AC, close to the ancient city, but far enough away to have uncrowded beach. The owner is terrific. We highly recommend!

Home away from home
We came to visit brother who lives in area. Wanted a place by the beach where you could also walk to get a coffee or something to eat. This cottage was perfect for our needs. When we were able to just relax at our home away from home we thoroughly enjoyed the indoor outdoor living. The cottage is decorated so charming and had comfortable beds for a great night sleep! Loved the outdoor space with hammocks and nice size outdoor deck with shade option! Highly recommended!!

Awesome place, great location. Only issue we had was that the clean towels were still wet so we had to take them to a laundromat to dry but everything else was amazing. Thank you so much.

I have stayed at this property previously and enjoyed it so renting it again was my plan. The cottage is small but perfect. Upgrades include air conditioning in each room which was great as the weather was very warm. My family visited for a beach day. We had a great day. I would rent this property again.

Beachcomber Getaway
Host was extremely accommodating as Hurricane Ian spoiled our initial Flagler Family Weekend plans. House is a super cute cottage- super convenient to everything and lots of Instacart and Ubereats options for delivery. It’s a split plan so really two couples could stay and have their own entrances and bathrooms- pretty awesome feature. I would highly recommend and will possibly return should I want to stay in Vilano Beach again 😃

Great long weekend
Charming, rustic cabin was clean and well equipped. Jackie communicated well and answered questions promptly. Short walk to the beach which is not crowded even on Labor Day weekend. It’s right on A1A so you do hear traffic when you’re outside, especially the Harley’s but you get used to it. Overall great stay.

Great location! Everything as advertised right down to the towels. As two couples we had a great time at this rental, but again it’s about location. The beach is just steps away. Others have complained about traffic noise and it is bothersome - but worth it. Would stay again!!

Year 2 - great beach stay!
This was our second summer here and it was wonderful! The updated AC units are fantastic. Jackie is a great communicator - very quick responses and so helpful! We love that it's such a quick walk to a quiet beach and to Publix. We'll be back!

A Nice, "No-Frills" Location
Jackie was a very responsive host. Pros: It was a very short walk to gorgeous Villano Beach. The house was well equipped with all the basics. Bed was comfortable, there were patios off each of the bedrooms. The fire pit and hammock were great additions. Grocery store, gas station and a few restaurants within walking distance. Cons: The location was right on A1A, so if you're looking for peace and quiet, or to hear the waves, this isn't it. As a single woman travelling alone I would have liked to close the gates to the driveway. The beach equipment was sub par, but to her credit, Jackie did offer to reimburse me for a beach chair if I wanted to purchase one. The landscaping needed some attention. Lastly, the tile floors could use a good scrubbing around the edges. And the bedding was clean but seemed worn and dated. It was a decent place to stay, but I can't give it 5 stars.

Rustic little cottage at the intersection
+: Bigger than it looks, kitchen has everything, close to the beach, beds comfy. Great for college kids. -: very small, too close to the intersection ( very noisy), roaches and possibly fleas ( woke up with bites). Furniture in LR pretty worn out - rips in cushions. Bathroom sink drain stopped up, impossible to use.

Stay in St Augustine
The property was in a very convenient location. It was mostly very clean. Tile floors were a bit grimy. Bathroom sink did not drain. I contacted the manager and she did respond saying it needed to be vented. It was plugged and if it needed venting this must have been an ongoing issue. The yard and outside area were great. Some dog waste in yard so beware if barefoot! Overall good stay and we would return. Fix the sink!!!!
