Northeast Florida Retreat

Welcome to the Seaside Sammie, arguably the coolest vacation rental in Vilano Beach. Just a 5-minute stroll to the ocean, this beach house is packed with everything you need: multiple living spaces, a tricked-out entertainment garage, fire pit, BBQ, outdoor lounge and dining area, plus plenty of space for games, crafts, and unforgettable moments with family and friends.

Available when needed

Seaside Sammie sits on a stunning barrier island, surrounded by ocean and wildlife. While this means beautiful sunsets and dolphin sightings 🐬, you might also see some local critters like roosters, turtles, birds, and the occasional bug or lizard 🐢🦜. We do our best to keep the home pest-free with regular professional treatments, but nature is part of the charm!

Guests will have complete access to the home, aside from the owner’s closets that are key-lock protected. The fitness equipment is locked and will require a waiver to gain access. We have keyless entry and a Ring Doorbell camera for your peace of mind.

Easy, contactless, check-in, wi-fi access was easy. The house was located in a quiet established neighborhood and the location was just anout a 7 minute walk to the beach and even shorter distances to Vilano Fishing Pier and several restaurants.The decor was very modern with beams and statement walls throughout. My "framily" enjoyed time spent playing pool in the gameroom. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home!!

Disappointed

We stayed at the home May 11-17, a few issues, First being, when we left and drove home, we noticed we forgot our king size bed pillows, they were not your average pillows, they were expensive TempurPedic. I messaged the owner letting them know, asking if they could send UPS, we would send payment for them doing so. 1 response stating they would check, I have messaged them 2 other times, with no response, the owner did state they live close to the property, so I can only assume they do not care, and either the owners are keeping them or their “cleaning team” took them, VRBO customer service also tried to reach the owners, with no reply. The the garage entertainment area, it’s super hot, and if you run fan you can no hear the TV. There is no information on how to use anything, with TV’s, it would be helpful if the owners had a book with all the information, also a place comments can be left, as another VRBO, we have stayed in has these helpful books. The master shower door does not open out, due to toilet being to close, so entry is a little tricky. Landscape lighting laying on ground in places and wiring laying on the ground can be a hazard. There are also 2 neighborhood roosters that like to make noise starting about 6 am. Theres a rotten tree on the east side. Check out is at 10am, but we did manage to wash most towels and strip the beds trying to be helpful other then that it’s a cute home, close to a few restaurants and Publix.But, LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND!
