Amazing property—you will not be disappointed!The house is perfectly situated and the layout is fantastic. The kitchen, game room, hot tub and pool were favorites with our group. Kids loved swimming rain or shine. Our beach day was easy with provided chairs and umbrellas ready to go. Lots of great family time!

Our family group of siblings and spouses had a fantastic week at this great house in this historical city. 5 bedrooms, large living spaces, a pool, hot tub and sauna. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Derek and Tabitha were attentive, made us feel welcome and have created a wonderful short term rental experience. We recommend Saltwater and Sunsets for adults and families alike.

Amazing, clean, big house for a family Christmas. Everything was exactly as pictured, if not better. It was extremely comfortable for our group of 9 adults and 3 young kids. They had every amenity we could think of for the beach, pool, little kids, and more. We were even pleasantly surprised by the beautiful Christmas decorations! Definitely worth it to rent the golf cart to get to the beach and nearby restaurants. We would 100% recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation! Thank you!!

We had a wonderful stay at The Wander and Rest Home in Vilano Beach. The house was beautifully decorated for the Christmas season and felt incredibly warm and inviting. The hosts truly thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. With the pool, hot tub, sauna, golf cart, and a garage full of games and activities, our family was never bored. The beach is just a short golf cart ride away and conveniently close to a few charming restaurants.Thank you for helping make my mom’s 75th birthday so special. We will definitely be back!

Vilano Home Stay

The Saltwater and Sunsets home is the perfect Vilano Beach getaway. The location is perfect and so close to everything and good eats. The home is stunning with ample amenities and luxury accommodations. The hosts have not missed any detail. We enjoyed the late night hot tub hangs, afternoon swims in the pool, golf cart rides to Cap’s for dinner, walks on the beach at sunset, coffee on the front porch rocking chairs and plenty of good night’s sleep. We can’t wait to visit again!

Incredible place!

Exceeded our expectations. Saltwater & Sunsets was the perfect place for our stay! The home is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable for our entire group — you can truly tell how much care went into every detail. The location was a huge highlight. The beach is just minutes away, making it easy to enjoy morning walks and sunsets, and historic St. Augustine was a quick drive for dining, shopping, and sightseeing while still feeling tucked away in a peaceful coastal neighborhood. We loved the outdoor space — the pool, hot tub, sauna and lounge areas made it feel like our own private retreat. Inside, the beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there was plenty of room for everyone to gather and relax. The game room kept kids entertained for hours. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and made everything seamless from check-in to check-out. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Saltwater & Sunsets for a luxury beach getaway!

Absolutely Perfect — Salt Water and Sunsets Exceeded Every Expectation!

We stayed at Salt Water and Sunsets with a group of 19, and it was hands-down one of the best vacation homes we’ve ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully curated to make our stay unforgettable. The house itself is immaculate and truly stunning—beautifully decorated, spacious, and designed for both relaxation and togetherness. One of our favorite features was the separate game room for the kids. They could be as loud and energetic as they wanted while the adults enjoyed some peaceful downtime. It was a game changer for our large group. The outdoor amenities were equally impressive. The heated pool, hot tub, and sauna created a private resort feel. Whether we were swimming, soaking, or unwinding in the sauna, every moment felt like pure luxury. The attention to detail was unmatched. Robes in the closets, bathroom toiletries in case we forgot anything, and thoughtful touches throughout the home made us feel completely cared for. It’s rare to find a rental that anticipates your needs before you even think of them. We truly never wanted to leave. Salt Water and Sunsets is the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’re already dreaming about our next visit!
