Vero Beach, Florida
This is a very elegant direct Oceanfront home with the Atlantic Ocean as your own private back yard.
The home it self was built with the Ocean in mind having large glass 8 x 16 sliders in the formal dining room with the most amazing ocean views that are visible as soon as you enter the double pecky cypress front doors.
There are sliders in all the rooms that face east with ocean views from most of all the other rooms.
The oversized patio is made out of travertine marble and stretches across the complete rear of the home and all around the pool which has sun all day, facing east and west.
On the patio there is a built in gas grill for cooking right near the pool. It has a great out door area for sun bathing, swimming and enjoying meals on the patio furniture.
Many of our guests have enjoyed our home and have not left it to go out and about because they were very content enjoying the beach, privacy and all of the amenities that are offered with our home.
Other guests have enjoyed the quaint village of Indian River Shores where the home is located as well as the quaint Ocean Drive area with it's many restaurants, shops, and parks where art shows and farmers markets can be enjoyed.
This is truly a unique private beachfront estate close to everything.
We only rent our home on a weekly basis and only Saturday to Saturday to allow our guests a full weeks vacation.

This was our second time at this property and like our first experience, really enjoyed our stay. We plan to return.
Ok
Yearly beachfront family vacations are a staple for my family. This has been our favorite location. The house is beautiful with lots of space for everyone. My favorite thing about this house was the view we had. As soon as you open the front door the first thing you see is the beach. Just the perfect location.
Enjoyed the stay and the area was great! Anthony was very helpful and accommodating.
If you read through the other reviews going back 2 years, and ignore wildcards that seem inconsistent - you have a proper understanding of what to expect. For context, I generally have high expectations for properties, and this fits within the ball park of my expectations for the cost. For us (parents with young kids), this was all about location and convenience (private pool, ocean view & access, nearly private beach) in a great area (Indian River Shores; A+) and a short drive (5 min) from restaurants/shops, & things to do. All of that was great (A+) and exceeded my expectations. Downsides? While well furnished, and everything was in working order and generally clean, the wear and tear on the property is all pretty evident and can be nit-picked variously, depending on your inclination. Family room, TV, Internet, kitchen appliances, beds, towels... all fine, no problems or issues there. Surprisingly, no extras (no beach umbrella, beach toys, etc... we left ours, so hopefully they'll be there in the future). There is still construction happening on the adjacent (south) property which overlooks the pool. We knew about it ahead of time because we asked the owner and he was forthcoming (see bing maps; google doesn't have it on there yet). He noted that he didn't expect exterior work, but there was moderate exterior work during our stay, weekdays primarily 9am - 1pm. Not terrible, but it was a bit more than we expected. I'd rent it again.
Nice property, plenty of room for me and my wife, our two kids, their spouses and our 3 grandkids. We had a great week and enjoyed our stay very much.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. The home is reminiscent of a coastal Tuscan Villa. Upon entry, the formal living room boasts a beautiful Steinway Grand player piano. The formal Dining room has a wet bar. The bedrooms are spacious with a split floor plan with the master with king bed and another guest suite with two full beds. Another bedroom across the hall had a king bed. All bedrooms had their own attached bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with proper cooking supplies. Outside their was a large pool and built in grill. There is construction going on next door but it did not affect us at all. There is a nice lawn behind the home. The yard is not fully fenced in - we brought a gate from home to close off a small staircase off the back of the patio to keep our dog contained. The beach access is a little tricky … there are no stairs - you have to walk down a sand dune. It could be tricky for someone with mobility issues. We had the beach mostly to ourselves - it was nice and wide ( unfortunately had seaweed while we were there ). There is a public beach area with a life guard not too far down the beach for visitors with children. The property is a quick 10 minute ride to the shops and restaurants in beachside Vero Beach.
Great location - close to Main Street and shops. Nice pool/beach.
The property was immaculate. Everything that you would need for a lovely vacation was located in the house. Private and quiet.
The house itself was amazing, large but cozy. The beach on the other hand was disappointing. There were too many seaweeds and the waves were very strong. My young kids were a little afraid of the water. We ended up staying in the pool most of the time and venture to other surrounding areas. Overall, this house is a must for large family with kids. We will definitely be back again, hopefully next time there is no seaweed on the beach.
We stay in a different area every year, and this was by far one of our favorites. The house was beautiful and we greatly enjoyed ourselves. We only left the house to go to the grocery store, had everything we needed right there!! The cons were that we didn't realize the construction was literally on the other side of the pool, so we had construction workers watching us all day and LOUD noise from 7 am - 5 pm. It might have just been worse our week since they were working on the wall by the pool. Also, when we arrived the pool bottom was pretty dirty ( didn't stop us one bit though... ha ha ) Wish we would've known ahead of time what days the landscapers and pool lady were coming, we were getting ready to get in pool as she came to clean pool on our last full day and we couldn't use the pool for 2 hours. The day the landscapers came wasn't a big deal, but we would have planned our day differently. Overall our stay was FANTASTIC and the home is beautiful and being able to walk to the beach at any time is priceless.
We had a great time! Nothing better than an Ocean in your backyard. House was great and the owners were very courteous. The pool was nice too. We will definitely return.
Gorgeous
My family and I enjoyed our stay immensely and plan to return! In spite of minor dated household items needing attention, or the construction noise going on next door, this do not disrupt or deter us from our enjoyment of this lovely home, it’s location or property. The host/owner was very responsive and helpful to any of our questions. Thank you Anthony for family memories we will never forget!
