Perfect location: Small-town peace,
close to city sophistication

Surprisingly, Vilano Beach is a still a secret known only to a trusted few. This charming coastal hideaway is the unspoiled little beach town of yesteryear – so appealing, in fact, that it served as the setting for the television show "Safe Harbour." Completely unlike the loud, crowded sands of Daytona Beach and southward, this picture-perfect community will be all yours – shared only by a small enclave of like-minded friends and neighbors.

Yet, less than a mile away are all the highly-ranked dining spots of St. Augustine, not to mention the endless charms of the Nation's Oldest City, from historic landmarks to art galleries and one-of-a-kind shops.

A 45-minute drive will bring you the urban offerings of Jacksonville, a dynamic city whose metro area boasts more than a million residents. Nationally known for its NFL team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the city also boasts a first-rate symphony, several highly regarded museums, intriguing antique shopping districts and a long list of fine dining establishments that include Ruth's Chris, Morton's and Matthew's. The area also is home to some of the nation's best golf courses and tennis facilities, as well as many miles of magnificent waterways for boating and other water sports.

When you make your home in this warm and welcoming community, you'll discover the charm of the past and the innovations of tomorrow, all in one spectacular site at the Water's Edge.
