About this property

Breathtaking Beach Front Home Minutes From Historic St Augustine & Restaurants

Peaceful and serene on the edge of the beautiful Atlantic, Casa Pelicanos Beach House's fabulous location allows you to enjoy endless ocean views from the windows and doors and its sprawling balcony space. Walk directly out your back door down the dune to the beach. A short 10 minute drive from historic Saint Augustine, and only five minutes to Vilano Beach with a full service Publix and several great restaurants. Or if you don't want to drive, just walk 1/4 mile up the beach to the Reef restaurant or across the street to Cap's on the intercoastal waterway.

This 3-bed, 3-bathroom beach house for up to 8 guests is a perfect family home. Ideal for a group or two families traveling together. The ground floor bedroom in Casa Pelicanos is like a separate guest suite. It features its own kitchenette, private living area with its own 50” HDTV (Roku, BluRay/DVD players) and a comfy queen bed for two. Whether two people in your group like to sleep late, or you have older parents with a slightly different itinerary, this is a fantastic two-for-one vacation rental.

On the patio outside the ground floor you'll find a barbeque for cooking the fresh fish from the ocean fish you can catch yourself right in back of the house on the beach or buy locally. The backyard sitting area, flows directly out on to the dune and down to the beach.

Upstairs, the living room is on the second level (so you get even better ocean views). All new elegant rattan furniture with a unique twist, with matching dining, lounge and entertainment areas combined in an open plan. Soaring ceilings with new leaf style fans. There's of course free wireless Internet throughout, and another 50" HDTV.

The dining area flows into the kitchen. The kitchen is a large gourmet kitchen with up close ocean view, enclosed laundry, and walk-in pantry - stocked with all the appliances, cooking equipment, silverware, plates, dishes, cups etc that you'll ever need. A breakfast bar has for barstools, just above a huge stretch of kitchen countertop. The U-shaped kitchen is spacious: just remember to glance up at the ocean view as you move easily between fridge, oven and dishwasher. A washer and dryer are also included (we're guessing you'll use a lot of beach towels and we've stocked those for you too)

The second floor also features a bedroom with two twin beds. Between the bedroom and kitchen is a newly remodeled bathroom, with elegant shower, leopard color basin sink, lighted mirror, and bidet toilet.

A wraparound deck and 40 feet of windows looking right at the beach will mesmerize you. Outside on the main deck there are sturdy yet comfortable patio furniture, an outdoor dining table.

Upstairs, the master bedroom continues the soothing beach palette. On the third floor you get an even better view of the ocean below. A private balcony gives you a sunrise all to yourself (or you might lazily enjoy it through the window from bed). The master bathroom is newly remodeled with stunning onyx blue tile, dual showers with side squirters and wands, blue basin sinks, lighted mirrors, and a bidet toilet.

All together the three bedrooms have a king bed in the master bedroom, queen on the ground floor, and two twins (plus an extra sleeper sofa in the loft area outside the mater bedroom, should you need it).

Casa Pelicanos is on a quiet stretch of the scenic highway A1A so you can head north up the gorgeous coast to Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra or south to St. Augustine, charming Flagler Beach and onward to popular Daytona. But you won't find a better beach anywhere. Just bring your sunscreen and enjoy!

All amenities and nice vacation-extras are within minutes. Charming Vilano beach has a Publix, restaurants and shops. Want to have your cake and eat it too? It's just 104 miles to Disney World. You can get up, enjoy the ocean sunrise, have a family breakfast and still make it to Orlando before Magic Kingdom opens.

Your time at Casa Pelicanos promises to be a vacation of incomparable quality.

Update December 2024

The dune and beach was restored by the US Army Corps of Engineers in Sept of 2023, so the dune and beach are big.

The house was freshly painted inside and out, also in Sept 2023. After that, in 2024, we remodeled the middle and master bathrooms, with delightful results. We also replaced all the furniture on the main level with a unique and beautiful collection of rattan called The New Twist.

Terribly disappointed and upset.
Not even worth delving into all the detail, as I numerous poor reviews have already done. I unfortunately missed them by trusting the verified host and 4.7 star review. Please listen to all of the reviews about cleanliness. Entire property was misleading for more reasons than just that. Ended up having to stay somewhere else as a result. I really don’t have much more I want to say, the host will be writing a bad review in response to this as they’ve already informed me. I’m not some property witch-hunter, not out to ruin reputations, I only know what I could see first-hand. I was just trying to enjoy a vacation with my family and was hardly able to. Just use this as a sign to take bad reviews into account as well as the good.

Summer vacation 2023
First of all I would like to start by saying, we vacation every year, for last seven years in Vilano. We always rent a house on the beach. The house itself and location are Great! It could have been a little cleaner. There was sand on the living room furniture, the twin beds on 2nd floor were very poorly made to the point of wondering how clean they were. Bed spreads definitely need washing or replacing. Sand was on the floors of every floor. The porches and railings are infested with spiders. Place just needs a good ol fashion cleaning. I am usually not so critical, but the property was empty for two days before we arrived. With that being said, we asked about an earlier check in time other than 5pm. I was told "if there not any vehicles in the driveway the cleaning people are gone." We could've checked in at noon. When we checked out at 10am, the cleaning guy was already there. Bottom line is property owner could be a little bit more involved. Location is great! We did have a good vacation, but will not book this property again.

Family Getaway
We had a wonderful week here! There was nothing better than waking up to the sunrise on the beach right outside our doors. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves (mid July)! We surfed everyday and had the best stay here! Extremely convenient for kids. We had 4! I highly recommend! God bless!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Evans

Host profile image
I am a newbie vacation home renter. We are so happy to have this home, and look forward to sharing it with others.

Why they chose this property

Our dream for many years was to have a beach house, and we scoured the world to find exactly the right one in just the right spot. This is it!

What makes this property unique

Saint Augustine is a wonderful place. The oldest city in North America, it's one of the few places in the US you can feel something like the old Europe vibe.

Walking right out of the house on to the beach is so cool...it really sets the bar high for beach experiences!

You can surf or fish directly in front of the house.
