Come and enjoy this cozy cottage in the land of dolphins and 
pelicans! Enjoy the sounds of gentle breezes blowing in the palm 
trees outside your window, and the surf rolling up on the beach. 
You'll love the natural beauty of the still-unspoiled area of North 
Florida. You can walk along a peaceful, uncrowded beach and just 
relax, or pick one of the many activities nearby: parasailing, deep-
sea fishing, windsurfing, boating, cycling, bird-watching, hiking or 
golf. Historic St. Augustine is only two miles away, Jacksonville 45 
minutes away, and Orlando is a two-hour drive. This quaint, historic 
cottage was part of a group of houses built in the 1930's in this 
area of Vilano Beach. Originally a fishing village, the area was 
constructed by an aviator named Reiss, a colleague of Charles 
Lindbergh and founder of the St. Augustine airport. Used by military 
families during WWII (a German spy occupied one of these cottages), 
it later became a motel called the Pagoda. Our cottage has a bedroom 
with a queen size bed and a slider door that goes onto the back 
deck. 
The kitchen has a refrigerator, microwave, oven and sink and plenty 
of cabinet space. The bathroom and kitchen were recently renovated 
with all new plumbing, appliances, tile and fixtures. The living 
room has a fold out futon couch, also queen size, and the original 
southern heart pine paneling. It is cozy (about 500 square feet), 
but there is an additional 120 square feet of deck. It is private 
and safe, with a fence around the perimeter and a gated driveway. 
There is plenty of space for parking. The cottage is just 100 yards 
from the beach. A minute walk down the road will lead to the path 
through stunning dunes. Vilano is a quiet and lovely beach, where 
you may spot dolphins playing, watch a beautiful sunrise, or walk 
for miles. The ocean has different offerings every day - you may 
find a conch shell, a starfish, or pieces of fossilized tortoise 
shell. St. Augustine, the oldest European settlement in the country, 
has much to offer. The historic section has retained its original 
colonial style. 
The main part of the town is just a drive over the bridge which 
crosses the intracoastal waterway. This area has wildlife 
sanctuaries nearby, including Guana River State Park. St. Augustine 
has fine restaurants, antique stores, museums, horse-drawn carriage 
rides, bus/trolley tours, sailboat tours, a wonderful lighthouse on 
nearby Anastasia Island, and many other attractions. You can surf or 
parasail right off of Vilano Beach. Or just enjoy the day reading a 
great book and lounging on the hammock.
