And of course the magical "Night of Lights" is world renown and can be enjoyed from Thanksgiving through mid January each year. Just a few miles across either the Vilano Bridge or the Bridge of Lions, is the beach! Vilano Beach is where your condo is located - and its evolution is from the "Gilded Age" as a playground for St. Augustine's elite during the Henry Flagler Era. It hosted a 1920s grand Vilano Casino (destroyed by storms in the 1930s) and was a mid century destination for tourism and still continues now with fun stores, a fishing pier, boating activities and great water front restaurants (Caps, Aunt Kates, Beaches of Vilano, The Reef). Both Vilano and Saint Augustine Beach are eclectic, artsy, pet friendly, a beach lovers dream with magical “Old Florida” feel…tropical colors, bike paths, sidewalks, surfers, swimmers, fishermen -come as you are! And a bonus - no high-rises are allowed! Exploring will be fun - visit Anastasia State Park, concerts at the amphitheater (“The Amp”), our beautiful Lighthouse, "beach vibe" ice cream and foodie experiences. And don’t miss The Alligator Farm and Marineland - so much to see - nature calls! Nearby Airports include UST, JAX, DAB, SFB, MCO. Easy access to US 1 and 95 make travel easy!
