Vero Beach, Florida
WE TAKE OUR RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY TO PROVIDE A SANITARY REFUGE FOR YOU.
ONLY 5 MINUTES TO BEACH!
If you are looking for a standardized, franchised, typical vacation setting, this is not for you. If you are looking for a gated community with chemically treated barren yards devoid of trees, this is not for you. But if you would like to rediscover the best of Old-Florida living, our vacation bungalow is just the kind of place you are looking for!
Our non-smoking home features two comfortable bedrooms with separate living and dining areas. Casual and colorful furnishings lend a peaceful air to this quiet getaway. The charming nostalgic kitchen boasts the original retro-style cabinetry and vintage Formica countertops, still in fine condition. We have also updated this fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances for the best of old and new. The dining area is connected by sliding glass doors to a covered patio area where you can relax and enjoy the comfortable, natural Florida setting. ***updated patio furniture Summer 2021!***
There's a Weber gas grill for your use. A separate utility room of the patio includes a washer and dryer.
The primary bedroom has a king bed, period Broyhill Brasilia furniture suite, HUGE closet, HDTV and ceiling fan. The guest room has two Heywood-Wakefield twin beds, dresser, closet, and ceiling fan.
We provide a couple of beach chairs and beach towels for your carefree vacation.
With the Indian River, Intracoastal Waterway, and Atlantic Ocean only minutes away, you will never run out of things to do here. But if you should tire of the peace and quiet, the attractions of Orlando are just an hour and a half away. Or tour the facilities of NASA's Cape Canaveral, an hour to the north. If you’re lucky enough to be here at the time of a space launch, watch the northeastern skies at launch time for a special treat.
Need more room than this bungalow offers Only a few miles away are our Sebastian Riverfront Estate with pool, boat dock, and guest house; and our nearby riverside Florida cottage. For an unforgettable time at your own 'Indian River Resort,' pool resources with your family or friends to rent several of our vacation homes!
If you’re looking for luxury accommodations, prepackaged predictability, or a gated resort that could be anywhere in the world - keep looking. But if you are like us and love the Florida that has enchanted out-of-town visitors for decades, spend a little time here. You will be glad you did.
*Please note that we recommend traveler's insurance in case you have to cancel or postpone your trip for any reason.

Check was very easy! Upon early arrival he even let us check in early. Property was very clean. House was built in the 50's. Had everything you will need, including a weber grill:) It is convienantly located between Sebastian and Vero Beach. And only a couple minute drive to the beach. Will definitely stay there again.
Step back in time in this 1950’s decor with modern appliances. Stayed with my wife and dogs. Very clean and relaxed Florida style home.
Close to everything, eating, beach, fishing etc etc
I love this retro house. It has great karma. We spend most of our time out playing and then enjoy the porch and the well equipped kitchen and dinners at home. We even had a party for 8 of our friends! Great place.
We very much enjoyed the style of the bungalow and had a lot of fun looking at the decorations, reading through the books, and just enjoying the property. The house was an excellent jumping-off place for exploring the area. There are MANY things to do here if you are interested in the out-of-doors (which we are!).
Glenn's property had a great old Florida feel with all the modern amenities! He made check in/out a breeze and was well stocked with all the odds and ends that we needed on our trip. The location is great because you're only a couple minutes from the beaches and Publix/Walgreens for whatever else you may need.
We had a great time in the Old Florida cottage. The atmosphere and decor were just my style. Glenn is an excellent host and provided everything we needed.
Friends and I needed a place to sleep after a night out in vero beach, so it was perfect for that. The place itself is a pleasant little retro home with all the modern comforts, so it would be a great home base for a weekend family getaway or with a few friends. Glenn is awesome, very friendly and communicative and though we didn’t need anything he made himself available so that was nice. Oh and how could I forget the delicious welcome treats! Definitely looking into this place again if I find myself in the area.
Glenn was great and the 50s vibe was awesome! The historic preservation of the home was outstanding and we had everything we needed to feel cozy and cook full meals. The proximity to the beach was great and we zoomed over there twice a day. Fun to be in between 2 cities and near 2 water sources as well. Sharpened knives, tupperware containers, cleaner windowsills (bugs), and more comfortable outdoor seating would have made this a 5 star review. Even with these little things, we are already planning another trip to the Beach Bungalow! Loved it!
We were disappointed in the area. We were near a beach but were told by our host not to use this beach - parking would be difficult and this paricular beach had a tendency to get crowded. Our bungalow was not in a pleasant neighborhood, as there were two abandoned houses very close by. As stated above, the bungalow was immaculate but the grounds were a mess. The furniture on the outside porch was not in good shape, with one chair literally falling apart and moldy. Having the laundry room on the outside (off the porch) was ok, but laundry rooms tend to get hot very quickly and outside temps caused it to get even hotter. The site listed that beach chairs were available, however we ended up buying one as only one was actually usable. We had a pleasant visit and there was much to do, but cerainly not within walking distance. With all that being said, we would not rent this bungalow again, even though we were most appreciative of the cleanliness of it and the graciousness of our host.
