SA101 Beachfront home directly on the sand!

Watch the sunrise and sunset from the comfort of the wraparound deck or the beach at this beachfront location.

Located right on Vilano Beach, the home features four bedrooms and can sleep up to 15 guests. The three-level property is great for large families or groups wanting some time to get away on the sand. The house is newly renovated with plush bedding, flat-screen TVs, Wi-fi, and Alexa should the waves of the ocean not be loud enough to lure you to sleep. 4 vehicles max.

Not what we expected…
I wasn’t going to write this all on a public review, but when I shared my concerns below privately, I heard absolutely nothing back from owner or mgmt group. 1. The description says nothing about the bedroom walls not actually going all the at to the ceiling upstairs- same with the bathroom. 2. Location is top notch 3. Master bed had stained sheets and they were completely ripped on the side. 4. Old nicotine pouches and other peoples trash were left in closets, drawers etc 5. The porch screen door was almost completely blown off when we arrived- it became completely detached that night from the wind. 6. Nothing is said about how you sometimes don’t have any water- at all. No water pressure. 7. The shade in the downstairs “room” was half ripped off and being held on by tape. 8. Downstairs the toilet is only made private by a curtain on a rod. 9. The weatherproofing on the bottom of the door at the entrance is half ripped off and creates a loud wind tunnel whenever the wind blows 10. The door near the refrigerator is inoperable and won’t turn 11. Great beach stuff available for use I’ve never written a bad review on one of these, but this listing was very deceiving. The house needs a lot of work just to get it to a place where things are running normally. Great location, Not was I was expecting unfortunately.

Worked out better than we planned
I was very worried when I read the online reviews for this property. The communication with the property management company was challenging, but eventually I did get most of my questions answered. The check-out instructions were a little confusing as there is one set in the house but a different set in email. Some of the outlets didn't work and the windows are definitely an issue. The stove needs work as it randomly would turn on if you barely brushed the knobs. A few times we almost got burned. The Nest thermostat is also a little wonky. Sometimes it would just turn itself down. Overall though, I would stay in the home again. The view can't be beat and the location is so close to all of the St. Augustine attractions. Some of the beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms are a little funky set up-wise but the space is well used so you do not feel like there is wasted areas. We had 13 in our party and were all able to fit. We packed air mattresses and had no issues finding room for them. There were plenty of dishes for us and the pantry is a great size. The extra refrigerator downstairs was very helpful. The recent hurricanes that eroded the beach have actually made this more of a beachfront property than it was before. There were crews out multiple times through our stay to grade the beach so it was very easy to walk on. We learned that sometimes it is best to see things for yourself before judging based on reviews.

In much worse shape than the listing pictures
This place was disappointing for a lot of reasons, and we came in with open minds based on past reviews. The location and space of a beach house was what saved our stay, but it was visibly dirty upon arrival with soiled sheets on the beds and hair in the showers. It also had visible black mold in the ceiling of the master bathroom and had rodents or something eating our food in the pantry. There was exposed wiring and chipped paint throughout the house. A lot of the blinds were dirty, broken or missing, windows didn't open and shut properly or had duct tape holding them shut. Even with the cleaners coming during our stay, the doors were still sticky and had fingerprints, the air ducts were filthy and I have pictures of if all if VRBO would like to see. This whole house is really in bad condition, especially when compared to the high quality of what the pictures show. We loved the location but for the price could have gotten a similar space and not had to clean the house ourselves just to get comfortable. The Five Star Rental company which runs this listing, once I could get a hold of them, was helpful in supplying new shower curtains as ours were moldy, and other basic supplies, but as mentioned, these issues are much bigger than that. I hope someone comes and gives this place the love and care it needs and deserves.

Our stay
We were told to keep the AC between 72-78 the heat was unbearable with heat advisories. We did attempt to turn it down and through the Nest they would increase the temp. Railings aren’t up to code way upstairs. Just was not very family friendly or good with people who struggle with heat

Disappointing. Be aware of what your getting into.
There were some major issues that the rental company did take care of quickly (no water, door not able to be secured, hole in decking due to popped plank, garbage left in trash cans . It's a great location. The rental staff were attentive, but overall the house needs alot of attention. Now, this rental is trashed. Dirty beyond what a cleaner can overcome. The windows on the main floor are literally falling out. I had to purchase duct tape and tape up the gaps to keep bugs/rain/hot air out. Trash piled in the back of the home near seating area (busted chairs, umbrellas, etc.) There are outlets and lights/ceiling fans that do not operate, so clearly some electrical issues here. The lower level floor is hot and basically unusable. There is a useless area on the lower level, a valuable space that could benefit from a few chairs and a TV for an extra entertainment area. The shower on the lower level is extremely moldy. There is a curtain that hides the toilet. The main floor of the house is a bit better, but that is where the windows are very bad, literally falling out if you remove my duct tape. Don't even think about opening them. The furniture and large rug are gross. These things need to be changed or deep cleaned yearly. I understand the wear and tear on a rental, but this was unacceptable. Overall we were quite disappointed.

Very disappointed
Not enough glasses for everyone. No big skillets, only 1 sm one for 11 people. Cooking BK was a joke, it took for ever. $2000 can up missing out of the house, they had people coming in to fix things and I didn’t know anything about it. 2 male workers came in on my disabled grandchild and my elderly sister. My sister was still in her pjs, scared my grandchild so bad the rest of they stay we had a hard time with her. She was. Afraid of getting killed. Picture showed a straight out walk to beach. FALSE PICTURE. I chose this house because of that picture and the needs of my grandchild. She has trouble with stairs. We got her down there one day. I would have rented one with a swimming pool but I thought this house was perfect for her. I don’t know how it sleeps 15. We had trouble with 11. It’s a good this 2 couples couldn’t go, we would have had to get air mattress. Water smelled like rotten eggs, so when you rinse off you smell like rotten eggs. Sent an email the. 1st day about glasses, water hose busted & no net for ping pong table. Never heard anything. Got a call 3 days later and again addressed my concerns. Don’t know if money was missing then. They said they had brought the net and put it on the ping pong table. We never got it, and again someone was in the house we rented without my permission. I don’t know about anyone else,but I expect my things to be safe when I am not there. I just wanted my dying grandchild to have a great time, and she didn’t. Not what you payfor

Great location, beautiful house. Some updates needed
The house is beautiful and location is amazing right on the beach. Listing actually didn't show the bunk bed in the basement so we were pleasantly surprised. So there were 1King, 2 Queens, 2 bunk beds, and 1 twins. The top floor does not have full height walls, so if anyone snores the whole 2nd & 3rd floors will hear it. The bathroom on 3rd floor also needs some updating - the shower has very low pressure, and the sinks have a sewage smell, possibly a dirty P-trap or just septic tank. Otherwise great house.

Great stay
My husband and I stay here for a weekend with my mother-n-law and 6 teenagers. We all fit very nicely. The house has 3 bedrooms with doors, a loft with a twin bed, and a bunk bed that has a twin on top and a full on the bottom. The lower level of the house has another bunk bed with a twin on the top and a full on the bottom. There were a total of three bathrooms, which was plenty for our family. The house has nicely updated kitchen area. All of the beds were very comfortable. If you have a large group, I do recommend this house.

Great Location
Wonderful location, beautiful beach and short drive into St Augustine. Cons: We were somewhat disappointed about the bedrooms. There are only 2 actual bedrooms which are on the main level. A third room is on the mezzanine which has walls that don’t reach the ceiling so there isn’t much privacy. And the 4th bedroom downstairs is located in what feels like a converted garage and is the walkway to the front door. As some of the other reviews have stated, there is some updating needed- for example upstairs bathroom shower curtain needs changing, secure upstairs bath faucet, clean out cupboards of some random items, organize and replenish plates/glasses etc in kitchen. Pros: The location, lots of towels/games/books/beach toys which was appreciated. A good stock of clean bedding and towels. Overall we had a lovely vacation, and I hope you find this review helpful. Thank you!

Great Location Beautiful Beach
This was a great location and a beautiful beach. The house was very clean and nice. Be aware the 3rd bedroom walls do not go all the way to the ceiling, so noise from the house is very loud there. Also, we were told that 1 of the two dryers was broken when we arrived by housekeeping. It was reported through the app but no reply was ever received by property management. This was inconvenient but we did have another dryer to dry our clothes.
