Blue House at the Beach

House is in a quiet residential neighborhood. While you cannot see the ocean from the house, it's just a few houses around the corner to the ocean path. A beautiful beach with a jetty you can fish from and watch cruise ships departing. Peacocks live in the neighborhood.Bedrooms neat, clean, plenty of closet space. Master and second bedroom have sliders to upper deck. While very nice, view looks to neighboring roofs and some palm trees. Beds are set European style (duvet – no top sheet or blanket). Owner purchased some and delivered them washed the next morning, which I appreciated.Signs in each bathroom to “use dark towels for makeup removal” but we did not see a single dark towel.NOTESWelcome Binder – A few pages of “do/don't” wifi password. Details like nearby attractions, recommended restaurants, etc. would have been nice.No instructions on TV usage. Owners reply: No paid channels – only YouTube, Disney, and free channels which we never figured out. Digital thermostat instructions would have been helpful.Sign on fireplace glass to “not light the fireplace for any reason.” Ironing Board – Is tiny (3 ft)While home is listed as up to 8 guests, there is Extra Person Fee for more than two. We were charged 105 for a third person (who ultimately did not join us). Fee was not clear until payment receipt.Noticeable scent upon arrival – not unpleasant but fairly strong, and either dissipated after a few days or we became accustomed.Yes. Would visit again.

The house was exceptionally clean, immensely stocked, and beautifully decorated. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. My family enjoyed use of the pool, hot tub, game room and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the home with a fully decorated Christmas tree (as our stay spanned the holiday), what a thoughtful touch and one that made being away for Christmas all that much more special. Closeness to beach was a plus and made good use of the beach chairs, beach towels, etc. offered. We would definitely recommend this house to friends and family and would rent again for our next visit!

What a perfect location and excellent host! The house was immaculate and well appointed. The host even tastefully decorated for Christmas. She even left a goodie basket of snacks and wine on the counter, knowing I had pre-arranged to host a family Thanksgiving meal for family. It was perfect as the table seated 10 with ample room and there was additional seating in the living area at a giant cocktail table and enormous sectional. The pool and hot tub were so comfortable and private, and we enjoyed the outdoor living spaces. The proximity to the beach access was fantastic, and so convenient to Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral National Seashore. If I could give it more stars I would. I loved everything about it. I only had one small issue while there and the host addressed it immediately. Fabulous!

This was our 7th family winter road trip to FL from MN, and everyone agrees it was the best! The home truly feels like a luxury hotel - extremely clean and well appointed. We were completely spoiled with how close the home is to the beach access - we’ll never stay anywhere we need to drive again! We all loved walking down the beach to the port to watch the ships come and go. The kids loved the pool area and the pool table/game room. We didn’t need much of anything, but whenever we did have a question the host was super responsive. If I had to nitpick, it was a little disappointing that the hot tub could only be used twice a day in 3 hour increments, but it wasn’t a huge deal because the weather was so nice. Overall just an incredible experience and highly recommend!

Very updated, well-appointed and very clean. Very short walk and easy access to the beach. Highly recommend!

The house is great. If you stay during winter months, ask questions about the pool. It has limits if the weather is too cold. Even though it is heated, if the weather is too cool, the heater cannot heat up and the hot tub can only run 3 hours at a time twice per day and you do not get to pick the hours. Also the timer for the heater for the hot tub was changed due to pool cleaning twice and we were unaware. The host was very responsive and once we notified her the hot tub was not heating at the specific time, she checked and started it. But it was a delay. We enjoyed our stay, but was disappointed by the limitations of the pool and hot tub. A partial refund was given, however, it still affected our ability to get our full use out of the features (pool and hot tub) that we hoped to use more during our stay. As mentioned the host was very responsive and even obtained a scale for us that we needed for our stay. We would stay again, but not likely during the colder months.

Very Clean, felt like home. Could not have asked for a better stay.

The house was just as described. The inside was roomy, clean beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped. Pool was great! A short walk to the beach! Property Manager was very responsive. Highly recommend staying here.

Yes, the place is all that ... and more! It's everything as described - beautiful house, beautiful pool, a walk across the street to the ocean (you can hear the waves from the backyard), pool table, huge TV -- but also had so many details covered and above-and-beyond amenities in the house. The whole family loved it and despite the generally cynical disposition within this family, not a negative to be spoken of by any of the crew. Absolutely top-notch

Needed more time but all good things come to an end. From the welcoming scent, beach within steps, cold outdoor shower and screened pool! The 5 of us want to leave! Everything exceeded expectations! Host was easy to contact and always answered. Looking forward to next year!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. It was immaculate. The location was great, with easy walking to the beach and close to restaurants, shops, marinas, Kennedy Space Center, etc.

Wonderful property!! Screened in pool and a short walk to the Atlantic. We loved our stay. While we did not have children with us, it’s also child friendly with toys and supplies for kids. Great neighborhood with free range peacocks.

House was clean, amenities were awesome! Lots of beach and pool time made easy by what is provided. Great vacation home!
