Stayed at the Purple Shark for 2 weeks. Wonderful house, pictures don't do it justice. Very whimsical and creative art and light fixtures. Beds very comfortable. Rooftop cornhole at sunset was a fun time. Magnificent views with spectacular sunrises. Good communication with host. Would certainly stay here again.

Great place to stay

We are in Jacksonville and we go to Vilano Three or four times a year this was one of the nicest stays we’ve had we used the elevator to move our belongings the different levels in the home made it very convenient. Everything was new and beautiful we booked another stay in July.

Great Location

Very modern, attractive multi level home right on the ocean; rooftop allowed for wonderful sunrise and sunset views. Updated kitchen with great appliances. Less than 3 miles from downtown St. Augustine. Two great restaurants to try; Fishcamp and Caps.

We absolutely loved the Purple Shark! The views are breathtaking, it was clean and well maintained. The host was very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. There were beach chairs and umbrellas which was great. My only suggestion is supplying more than two beach towels. Great location and we will definitely rent again.

Even better than description and pictures

Place was amazing. Has a great time. Even though nice, the VRBO pictures and descriptions don’t do it justice. Place is super cool and so relaxed right on beach. Perfect getaway for our family with teens.

Perfect. We have tried many rentals and this one trumps them all, not even close. There's actually 4 bedrooms and two separate pull out couches. Could sleep 10-12 easily.

Spacious, Unique, and great location

Lots of room in this multi-level purple house, interesting glass and other decorations. Clean, good beds, plenty of towels and linens. Expansive collection of coffee makers. . And of course the beach is steps away. Host responsive. Bring own bath soap.

Exceeded expectations

House was very clean and exceeded my expectations. The house is beautiful and well stocked with appliances and entertainment to keep the family happy. Short walk to the beach and a very laid back beach environment makes for a very relaxing stay. The host Luann was also very quick to reply to questions/concerns and made our stay stress free and enjoyable. Plan to stay here again very soon.

Amazing Place to Stay

You can’t beat this property. The location is amazing and the accommodations are high end. We enjoyed lounging on the decks with the amazing views. You wake up to the most beautiful sunrise. It’s exactly as shown and worth every penny. We put a Yukon XL truck in the garage and it fit.

Best vacation in a long time!

This property is amazing, so much more to it than the pictures depict. So close to stores and to downtown. We had an infant with us but if she was walking it might not have been as great as there is a lot for a toddler to get into. The beds were fantastic, but the master bedroom gets light with sunrise so if you want to sleep in past sunrise, bring a sleep mask. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the rooftop was unforgettable. And of course, being beach front made the commute to the beach and back to the house a breeze! Definitely would recommend this house! Oh, and there is a fourth bedroom.

Vilano beach

Nice stay on beach to see sunrise and felt out of way of crazy tourist stuff in historic downtown St. Augustine but close enough over bridge to go do the tourist stuff. Many stairs for 4 levels so if you’re ok with that you’re good. With that and all the glass decor maybe not the best for little kids. Otherwise nice and modern. Enjoyed stay.
