Description
Escape to Coastal Luxury at Saltwater & Sunsets — A Vilano Beach Retreat.
Welcome to Saltwater + Sunsets, our elevated escape in Vilano Beach, where the Atlantic Ocean greets you to the east and the river delivers unforgettable sunsets to the west.
Just two blocks from the ocean and a block from the riverfront, this home blends refined comfort with a laid-back coastal charm. Lounge by the private saltwater pool, soak in the hot tub, recharge in the sauna, or unwind with your favorite beverage on the front porch. The chef’s kitchen—with a 48″ Viking range and oversized fridge—makes entertaining easy, and the kids (and big kids) can stay entertained for hours in the game room.
Stroll or cruise in our 6-seater golf cart*(extra charge)—to charming local restaurants, beach access points, or the riverwalk for golden-hour views. Whether you’re here with friends, family, or your partner, Saltwater & Sunsets is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and savor the moment.

About Derek & Tabitha
Speaks : English
The St. Augustine and Vilano Beach area holds some of our most treasured memories. We were married overlooking the iconic Lions Bridge and St. Augustine Harbor, spent the first night of our honeymoon in Vilano Beach, and most recently celebrated our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary in a beachside rental just steps from the ocean.
When we found our home in Vilano, we knew right away — it was too special to keep to ourselves. This is a place made for memory-making: where families reconnect, friends unwind, and life slows down in all the best ways.
What we love most? The walkable charm of local restaurants, the peaceful beach where you can stroll or bike for miles, and the nearby riverfront just a block away — perfect for sunsets or launching a boat. At each home, you’ll find everything you need to relax or entertain — thoughtfully designed spaces, inviting outdoor areas, and well-equipped kitchens made for slowing down and spending time together.
We’re so excited to share this special place with you — and hope it brings you as many beautiful memories as it has for us.
