This listing is for UNIT B (The Upstairs Apt) only!

THE SKINNY: This historic beachy bungalow is the upstairs 1 bedroom apt of a duplex situated just a hair off the beach, and very close to all of prime Vilano Beach's offerings! Amazing natural light pours through this charming apartment all day long! The covered back balcony with seating and grill provides the perfect shady break from the afternoon heat. Just a few minutes drive from downtown, this is a perfect location for enjoying the best of both worlds St. Augustine has to offer - the beach and the historic town! Enjoy your coffee on the balcony in the shade, load up and head down to the beach, have a drink at Beaches Restaurant on the intracoastal waterway or snuggle up in the comfy King size bed and enjoy a day of relaxation inside!

THE PROXIMITY: Central to downtown, uptown, Ponte Vedra and US Highway 1 which takes you to all parts of St. Augustine quickly for shopping, eating and seeing other areas of the city! The walkability of this home to shops, groceries, restaurants and the beach is excellent!

THE SPACE: The home itself sleeps 3 comfortably in 1 King bed and 1 futon that opens to a full size bed. The kitchen is equipped to service 4+ people to modestly prep and re-heat to eat together for a great night in! The TV's are all Smart TV 's, so simply login to your Netflix, Hulu or HBO account to enjoy your favorite movies and shows.

THE LAYOUT - Unit B upstairs has a solid 1/1 layout:
BEDROOMS: One bedroom has a King bed. A futon in the living room converts to a bed for the flexibility to bring along a 3rd person.
BATHROOM: 1 is located inside the bedroom as an en suite and features a walk in shower, *not* the tub pictured.

AMENITIES: Pergola patio with seating and lights. Private balcony with seating and grill. We provide starter coffee supplies.

LAUNDRY FACILITIES: On the exterior of the house at the base of the stairs that go up to Unit B's front door is a shed door with a stackable washer and dryer.

OPEN LIVING: The kitchen is situated adjacent to the living and dining area so everyone can be together whether lounging, dining or cooking! We outfit the kitchen with one roll of paper towels, a few starter trash bags and lots of dish soap for your first couple of days, plus coffee amenities!

PARKING: There is one parking space per unit on the property. Please use only one space and leave the other space open for the other unit's guests. Our parking area is fenced in on 3 sides and only big enough to allow 2 cars side by side. You will see stained glass and mosaic artwork of sea turtles and jellyfish hung up on the fence in our parking area. If you do not see those, you are in the wrong area. There is no other parking provided. Additional vehicles must be parked at the Publix.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN ST. AUGUSTINE: Just a 5 minute drive west to San Marco Ave and south is historic downtown St. Augustine! Take a tour, enjoy the rich Spanish history, the architecture, the food and craft cocktails and all that our pleasant waterfront town has to offer. Contact me for lots of insider local recommendations on what NOT to miss!

BEACHSIDE FUN IN THE SUN: Our beaches are unparalleled! We really know how to enjoy what nature has blessed us with here in our quaint little St. Augustine Beach. This home is situated in prime Vilano Beach. You can also drive to one of the public beach accesses on St. Augustine Beach about 25 minutes away to park and walk on.

TURN IT UP: Want to live on the edge? There are a couple of rental shops nearby where you can rent surfboards, paddle boards, snorkeling gear, you name it! Deep sea fishing charters and boat rentals are also available in multiple places throughout town. Delivery bike rentals available via a local company. Contact me for recommendations.

FYI: Per the listing, we will charge an authorization hold to the card on file for the listing's $350 Security Deposit on the day of check-in. The funds hold will be released 7 days after checkout if no damage is present upon your departure.

Small Group Getaway
The bungalow was a good size for us. There were only 3 people in our group. I don’t think it would be comfortable for more. We were okay with the fact that there was no stove and oven. I just brought food from home already cooked and we reheated in the microwave when we didn’t eat out. The bungalow is really well stocked with kitchen dishes and utensils. The king size bed is really comfortable. Our son said the futon wasn’t very comfortable so we put a blanket on top before we put the sheet on. That seemed to work well. Bungalow was stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is a nice short walk to the beach. There is quite a bit of street traffic noise at night but it didn’t affect our sleeping. (It was Spring Break and there were sirens and motorcycles passing) Overall, it was a very nice beach vacation.

Marvelous Mermaid Bungalow
This was such a cute little place upstairs. Had many amenities you need, & short walk to the beautiful beach! The walk from the parking lot was so short,it was just like normal parking at any beach rental. A/Cworked great! Which is a NEED in Florida. Close to downtown also. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. And will be coming back!

The good and the ehhh
The good: Location fantastic - just a short walk to the beach. The bed was very comfortable, Publix is just a short walk, space was clean The ehh: Kitchen is very limited - hot plate was more like a warm plate, outdoor grill is just an electric George Forman grill, futon was very uncomfortable, parking is behind the Publix - a short walk, but not your own parking Overall, a cute small place good enough for two, but be prepared for cooking challenges and be creative…
