Derek & Tabitha Johnson - owners of Wander and Rest: 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 the house, you’ll find everything you need to relax or entertain: a private heated pool, hot tub, 6 person golf cart, and a chef’s kitchen with a 48” Viking gas stove and oversized fridge/freezer built for gathering. 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.

Saltwater & Sunsets is ideally situated in Vilano Beach—just 2 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, 1 block from the Intracoastal Waterway, and only 10 minutes to historic downtown St. Augustine. Guests love the unbeatable location: walk or take the golf cart to The Reef for oceanfront dining or Aunt Kate’s for riverfront seafood and sunset views. Just a 4-minute drive away, Cap’s on the Water offers one of the best dining experiences in the area, with stunning waterfront ambiance and delicious coastal cuisine. Whether you’re soaking up sun on the beach, paddleboarding on the river, or exploring the rich history and charm of St. Augustine, you’ll have the best of everything just minutes away.
