Vilano Beach Cottage

Great house with an excellent location, close enough to get to St Augustine quickly and far enough away to avoid any crowds. We walked across the street to the beach every day and we ate at many great restaurants, shopped in the Historic District, saw the Lightner Museum and more. We would recommend anyone who is looking for a place in the area to stay at the Vilano Beach Cottage.
