Beautiful and walkable

Guests say this area is scenic and it’s easy to get around.
Charming 3/2 beach cottage located in the historic Surfside Community of Vilano. Once this home belonged to the Capo Family who brought visitors from downtown St Augustine across the Intercoastal on a ferry to the beach in the 1920’s. Today, you can enjoy the vintage vibe, with modern conveniences. Only 2 min walk to Surfside Beach! Under new ownership, formerly an Airbnb for many years. One small dog will be considered.

The space
The house lives big for it's size, it's open dining and living room make it feel roomy but still has the cottage coziness you would expect from a historic gem. The 3 bedrooms are all off the main living room, but with no shared walls so great for couples or families. Our plan is to one day live here full time once our children our grown, but until then we would love to share it with you and your family. There is a TV, wifi, washer & dryer, dishwasher for your convenience, and a good size fenced yard. We will consider a small dog with a non-refundable pet deposit.

Guest access
The entire house and yard except for shed and cleaning closet.

Other things to note
This is a vintage cottage built in 1925 with lots of character.
