Beachcomber Penthouse at Vilano has an ideal location situated along the seashore in the small beach town of Vilano Beach. A few steps from the Penthouse stairs is the sea-oat lined path to the nearly secluded beach. A short seashell collecting walk along the seashore to the south will bring you to the Inlet and a view across the river of St. Augustine, it's Bayfront, the Fort and it's historic skyline.
Also, near the Penthouse is the entrance to a walking/biking boardwalk under the Vilano Bridge into the Vilano Bach Town Center. There you can stroll down palm tree-lined Vilano Road (Vilano's "Main Street") along sea-colored sidewalk pavers to the Vilano Pier which offers beautiful sunset views across the river to Historic St. Augustine. You can also fish off the Pier. On your way back through the Art Deco/Florida Vernacular-styled Vilano Beach Town Center, stop in for a great meal at one of five local restaurants ranging from pizza to Chinese to Italian to seafood. Or pick up picnic/snack items at the Publix Grocery, which includes a deli, liquor store and a pharmacy. Back at the beach enjoy swimming, sunning, surfing, fishing and skimboarding. For a special evening, oceanfront and riverfront restaurants are within 3 miles from the Beachcomber Penthouse at Vilano.

We absolutely loved the Penthouse. Beach is literally steps from the door....the views and sounds of the waves absolutely peaceful. The owners extremely attentive and timely with any questions. A little welcome coffee, water, coupons, and free local attraction tickets with a personalized note was so surprisingly nice touch. We WILL recommend to our friends and family and we WILL be back in the very near future. They had everything we needed right in the Suite.

The location of this apartment couldn't be better if you love a quiet neighborhood and proximity to the beach! We could hear the waves from our room and loved it. The apartment was clean but somewhat dated. Our host was a great communicator.

Beautiful stay
We really enjoyed the beautiful view and non-crowded beach. The room was super clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well every night. We also appreciated the beach chairs and extra towels. We would absolutely stay here again if in St. Augustine.

Vilano beach stay
Love love the quaintness of the area. Walked down the cute path every morning for the magnificent sunrise-you can also see it from our room but add the sand below your feet and the ocean mist hitting your face-it almost brought me to tears the first morning. Healing. Close to all sorts of cool history and things to do. Great great location. The absolutely only negative thing I would say is the mattress is too firm for me. And the mini kitchen sink stopper needs a good scrubbing-water pressure for the shower is poor. Those are not big deals at all just something for the owners to be aware of and fix if possible.

Excellent correspondence with property manager. Perfect location for what I needed. Lots of steps to top but good exercise ☺️ Bed was super comfy. I did have a little trouble getting on raised bed but I am 66 and did manage. Enough towels were provided and I appreciated the free trolley tour I used. I would stay again. Thank you!

Seeing the Sun Set from the bed is the best and the Sun Sets are spectacular. From the short path to the beach and the Broadwalk under the bridge everything is within walking distance - Publiks, Parks, restaurants and bars. The Penthouse is Pure Peace.
