Vilano Beach and Northern Vilano Beach. We have vacation in St Augustine a few times now. I agree with your statement. The beaches and Old Town two very different experiences. One wants to absorb old town over a couple of days I would suggest staying in Old Town or the very close peripheral. It makes exploring on foot or the trolleys a lot easier First trip stayed in the heart of Old Town at a hotel. Second trip stayed at a very unique hotel in Vilano Beach. Upcoming trip VRBO on Butler Beach:-) Encouraged to see that you gave Butler Beach such high praise.
Beach & food & the nap 🙌. Looks like a pretty relaxing lifestyle. I think me and my husband would of done this awhile ago ourselves but with 4 kids it wouldn't work I don't think. Maybe once they all move out which shouldn't be much longer as the youngest is already 15.
Hi! Headed to St Augustine in the morning! Could you send me the location you stayed over night please? No issues with parking overnight? I’m in a class b as well.
I live in North Florida and go to St. Augustine and the beaches often. I was born in Kentucky, grew up in Indiana and have lived in Virginia, California, South Carolina, Los Vegas, Chicago and Oklahoma. I stopped traveling around when I settled in North Florida 30 years ago. There is nothing outside of Florida I really care for anymore, but I would like to visit Arizona and Nevada again someday.
I truly love what you are doing. I fell into van life after a break up. I couldn't be miserable living in St.Augustine, Crescent Beach. ❤ Im going to forever remember the time which could have been miserable being homeless, As a magical rebirth and precious time in my life. I like being single now,And I love just traveling around i feel rich though im not 😊
Food, food, food...yeah St. A has the eats, the architecture and the beaches. I would live there in a hot minute. Have fun you two! Have a fun and safe trip north.
I think you did an amazing job capturing some of the beauty in ST AUGUSTINE. I love your honesty about must-see and maybe not so much-see places. Thank you for another informative video!! Safe travels
I was waiting for this video! Glad you liked my favorite town. I also thought the bathhouse area in Lightner Museum was pretty cool. Flagler college is a great tour also if you love old architecture. Yes, Great food!
Really good video guys! Your music is awesome throughout! I get a kick out of how B seems SO laid back & Crystal, you seem very particular & like things “just so”-you work well together-always makes me smile. 😁Crystal, you’re so pretty!❤️ Really enjoy watching you two!-Babs, Wisconsin
this is kind of a left field suggestion but st. augustine is a great place to play pokemon go on your phone. lots of the in-game points of interest highlight the locations of historical plaques, statues, buildings, etc while you get to catch pokemon in a very walkable area. i know a lot of people tinkered around with this game at one time or another, an old cute town is a great reason to dig it back up. st. augustine also has a great distillery that does free tours, i'm a big fan of their gin 🌱
Haha yeah I used to play Pokémon when it came out about 5 years ago. But stopped a few months later. 😗 We actually went to the distillery but it was closed. Got there too late on our last day in St. A.
Enjoying your videos. Contemplating Van life with my amazing hubby of 36yrs. St Augustine is a great place to visit. Have you checked out the greater Tampa Bay area. Tampa, St Pete, Clearwater, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs to mention a few. So much to see and do. I grew up in Miami and moved to Clearwater when I was 34. Been here for 25 yrs now. Love it for the most part but I really want to move to the NC mountain area. I really want to experience seasons and hiking the parks there and seeing all those amazing waterfalls.
This was my first time watching your channel and it was nice to hear all the obscure facts about the lighthouse beacon and anti-pirate streets. Will definitely be watching more of your videos in the future.
Born and raised in st aug lot of great times on those beaches in the 70s and 80s just a small coastal party town back then ! It's alot more commercial now
lovely footage, edits, etc.! wondering if you'all had to pay for overnight at Butler beach? we're a couple of suburban/camper folk and have a concert to attend at the St. Augustine amphitheater on cinco de Mayo!! thanks.
Nah we just parked on the side of the street in a small grassy area. You can’t park on the ocean side. No overnight. But the other side of the street is good. At least it was 2 years ago. Quiet spot, nobody bothered us. Park late, get out early you should be fine.
@@vanhallaadventures ok yes, I’ve been scanning the maps for a quiet, unsuspecting place for an overnight and will try one of the local grocery stores nearby. Seemed to work well last time we were in Ocala, anyway. in late/out early right on! Ty
Thanks for the beautiful Vistas and tour. As always love all your vids! I love Saint Augustine. I had some time to kill when I moved from Gulf Coast MS. To Miami so I took some side trips. Unfortunately the day I was in St Augustine it was really drizzly rainy day. But it was still really cool did a lot of exploring while I was there
Great video guys!! It's our first watch of yours....now we've subscribed! We moved to FL from OH 2 years ago, and are getting ready to move to St. Augustine next week. SO excited. Crystal....where did you get the awesome hat? Love it. 🤠
My hubby and I went to St Augustine on our honeymoon. Since then, this city is something we miss and long for when we want a break from life! Well, and Nantahala outside of Bryson City, NC. You guys should travel the Dragon Tail😉
Hi Darla, Crystal and I actual traveled on the dragon tail a couple months ago. We have a Blue Ridge Parkway series. Here’s one of three, check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_S2F6CiYmOA.html
Nice video but not any “hidden gems” here…. except the lighthouse… never seen that one before! 😉 Probably the most “local” is Osprey Tacos. So, here’s a real hidden gem. A French bistro called Les Petite Pleasures. Amazing French pastries owned by a husband/wife from Annecy, France. I had actually visited their previous patisserie in Annecy unknown to me before they moved to St Augustine.
Very nice video, be careful of flying your drone over National Historical sites, state parks etc. as some people have gotten fines, I'm currently in Cape Hatteress which is a must see stop for you!
Hello. Please consider doing TikTok also as another platform. This way, you're videos could easily go viral. I just feel like you're channel is very underrated and you guys are so genuine and deserve more viewers. ❤️
It's a really cool spot - I think its a great winter vacation spot to get out of the cold if yu live in colder climates. We really enjoyed it there! Thanks for watching :)
Hello! Loved your video! We are going to St. Augustine next month for our five year anniversary and were originally going to book a hotel. You inspired us to try out a camper van instead! We’ve never done anything like that before so we think it will be super fun! The van that we are looking at to rent is solar powered. Do you have any suggestions on where to camp for free?
Thank you! We actually know someone in St Augustine so we parked in front of their house. Not a very exciting answer but that’s what we did....🤷♂️ p.s. if you DM us on Instagram I can give you some secret info. 😉
I would have gone to the lighthouse. I'd ask people how far away you can be from the coast and still see the lighthouse? Is it 5 miles, 50 or maybe 200 miles away.... That's where my curiosity would have taken me. ❤️💐
I'm craving taco so much.... As I'm in Harrisburg PA, maybe I could look up the menu at Osprey and try to recreate the flavors. Thanks for that great video.
But did you know, that a very skinny man with a very skinny horse was still able to rob the bank, not one, not twice but three times through treasury st.? Yep!
