Take a relaxing vacation in this newly renovated and freshly furnished townhouse nestled between beautiful Vilano Beach and the intracoastal waterway! The House of Shells features an open and inviting floor plan with vaulted ceilings and modern, beachy decor. Best of all, enjoy a private oasis in the backyard equipped with private hot tub, outdoor dining, grilling station, covered pergola, fire pit, and tropical garden! You will find everything you need for your vacation including a fully stocked kitchen, clean and fresh linens, bathroom amenities, and beach supplies. Whether you are looking to fill your days on the beach, which is just a short walk away, or enjoy the sites and sounds of historic downtown, this home will provide you with a place to kick back and relax at the end of the day. This rental comes with a FREE FUN package which includes one free entry to several top attractions, such as The Alligator Farm and the Old Town Trolley Historic Tour, each day, all just minutes away.

Just down the road is Vilano Beach Town Center. There you can stroll down palm tree-lined Vilano Road (Vilano's "Main Street") along sea-colored sidewalk pavers to the Vilano Pier which offers beautiful sunset views across the river to Historic St. Augustine. You can also fish off the Pier. On your way back through the Art Deco/Florida Vernacular-styled Vilano Beach Town Center, stop in for a great meal at one of five local restaurants ranging from pizza to Chinese to Italian to seafood. Or pick up picnic/snack items at the Publix Grocery, which includes a deli, liquor store and a pharmacy. Back at the beach enjoy swimming, sunning, surfing, fishing and skimboarding. Be sure to check out the popular riverfront restaurant with dock and water views, Caps on the Water, located less than half a mile walking distance from the home.

Great stay!
5/5 stars
Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the House of Shells this week! We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, fixing meals in the well-equipped kitchen, playing the supplied board games, and using the gas grill out back. The decor is just beautiful and the townhome is sparkling clean! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us to make precious memories

House of Shells Vacation
4/5 stars
Property was very clean. Location is good. Our family really enjoyed the duplex. Pet friendly option was great. Only negative is there is no description of how to get to the beach. You can’t simply walk across A1A from the subdivision to get to the beach. The best way to walk is out the back of the subdivision on a road between properties (semi-wooded) and up 2nd street until you can cut over to 3rd street. The closest beach access is at 3rd street. We chose to drive down to the public beach access a mile or do down the road that had a pedestrian bridge going across. Much more convenient for us with all our stuff. It wasn’t a huge deal for us. It’s just something we would have liked to have known rather than figure out when we got there.

Excellent stay at Casa de las Shells
5/5 stars
We loved this place, and enjoyed our stay. It was a very short walk to the beach, and also right around the corner from one of Saint Augustine’s best restaurants. Casa de las shells had everything we needed for a relaxing no stress holiday. Very easy check in and check out process, it was exceptionally clean and well stocked with needed supplies, games, beach gear and towels. We would definitely book here again in the future.
- Kathryn

We are happy to hear your stay was stress-free and relaxing! We strive to provide that kind of environment in our home. We do hope you stay with us again soon!

Excellent Stay!!
5/5 stars
The House of Shells was the perfect getaway condo. It was located close to everything and the beaches were quite and relaxing. The condo itself was very spacious and comfortable (the hot tub was a fan favorite of our group). I 100% recommend this stay, especially for a small group like ours.
