    Enjoyed a great stay at this property. The two bedrooms were large and the unit was extremely well stocked with everything you could need while away from home. Location was great for access to the beach as well as downtown Vilano and St. Augustine. Communications from the property management made checkin and checkout a breeze. Definitely felt like a home away from home

    The host was very responsive and easy to work with. The home was clean and everything in working order, including the hot tub. Location is great but the walk to the beach is about 20 minutes for those with little ones that need to bring a wagon. Easy drive to public beach parking as well. We appreciated the coupons for local sweet shops!

    Perfect spot for a weekend away. Cozy rooms, nice outdoor area and neighborhood was quiet. The hot tub was super nice but chemicals were very strong so only used once if we were there for more than 3 nights we would have asked for it to be checked out. We asked for late check out since we did not arrive till after midnight the first night but did not get a response. Overall would definitely stay at this property again.

    This trip was planned on a whim...we just needed to get away for a few days! This townhome is very clean and nicely decorated. The outdoor sitting area was nice. The owner was really friendly and so very helpful for anything we might need. Look forward to going back soon! Thank you for a nice stay!

    While the front facade was somewhat underwhelming, the interior was definitely a pleasant surprise. It was clean, well-appointed, and very welcoming. Not full of fru-fru, but nicely decorated and comfortable. The bedrooms were separated, each with its own bathroom. The linens were good quality and plentiful. The owner/manager took pains to provide additional amenities, ie: laundry pods, dish soap, coffee, sugar, flour, etc. The rear yard is totally private with a hottub overlooking a peaceful raised garden. The covered pergola was an added bonus and contributed to the zen aesthetic. The owner/manager? was immediately responsive to any questions or concerns I had and was genuinely kind and helpful, going out of his way to help. I was impressed. I originally intended to be alone, but once I experienced the serenity there, I invited my adult grandson to spend some time with me and explore the old city. He was equally enamored with the House of Shells. Despite the not-so-wonderful weather, the stay was made enjoyable by the delightful environment.

    We really enjoyed our girls trip to Vilano Beach, and the house of shells was lovely! We loved how clean it all was, and the outdoor area was perfect! We figured out the walk to the beach (although more specific directions would have been helpful). The beds were all quite comfy and we all had very good sleep. I’d definitely recommend this property!

    The house was extremely clean and well furnished. After spending the week at the Players Championship golf tournament, it was great to come home to the hot tub before grilling dinner and enjoying the fire pit after dinner.

    Our stay here was absolutely fantastic. It was equipped with everything that we needed, and very very clean. We had our 7 year old & 3 year old and it was very accommodating to the kids. Also the hot tub and whole back yard set up was great. The kitchen has literally everything you would need to cook for your family. Over all amazing experience, short walk to the beach and quiet nice neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!!!

We very much enjoyed the private hot tub that worked really well!! The condo itself is well stocked and very clean!! The mattresses were comfortable and there is plenty of comfy seating to watch TV or just read a book!
