Stayed Jul 20, 2025Check-in was simple since the gate and front door codes were provided via email ahead of time. The kitchen was equipped with the basics, except for wine glasses…but we managed! ;) The pool was nice and relaxing after a day on the baseball fields. The property is beautiful and filled with mango trees with fruit ripe for picking! We really enjoyed seeing the chickens in their gorgeous coop. We enjoyed a view of an early morning SpaceX launch from the front yard. The towels and washcloths are luxurious. Loved the folding table in the laundry room!

Stayed Jul 6, 2025This is a great house for relaxing away from the crowds and tourists. Very private and quiet. The house is decorated beautifully with high end finishes and furnishings. No details left out! I would and will definitely be back. A few things I’d change to make it perfect. A optional golf cart to drive to the boat dock and other areas would be appreciated by guests. As you are not allowed to drive your vehicle to the other areas and must walk.A boat lift at the dock would be nice. We brought our boat and planned to use the dock to tie up. But, after inspecting the dock height and condition there was a risk of damaging our boat. So, we decided we’d just trailer back and forth to the ramp each day.A larger tv in the living room would be nice. The living room is very large and guests set pretty far away from the tv.

Stayed Mar 11, 2025We stayed here for 5 nights and fell in love with this property. Beautiful and relaxing, but close enough to everything you need. Our kids loved all the space to run and play, and we loved the lush and quiet property. We would love to return!!

Stayed Jul 21, 2024The house was perfect, everything the description says and even more spacious that anticipated. It was very clean, easy to access and in great location to the events we were in town for. The outside area and common grounds were immaculacy maintained. The pond and tiki house were awesome and access to the dock on the Indian River was great. I would highly recommend this property.

Stayed Jun 24, 2023Quick transaction. Heather was responsive to all inquiry. The property was immaculate. Every one in the family gave a thumbs up for the place, even our dog had a big smile on his face when he step into the property. Ample space to move around; comfortable bed. The view of the orchard and the pond is amazing. Most specially , the view of the sunset from the dock is breathtaking. 40 mins from Kennedy Space Center and about 1.5 hours to Disney World. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969What a beautiful gift ~ a tropical paradise! The house was immaculate and one of our kids said as we walked in “I love how this place really feels like home” :) Our children played for hours in the pool, fished (caught 3 delicious red fish!), wandered through the fruit orchard enjoying the Florida wildlife, and relaxed on the hammock in the lotus pond. The lovely owner, Lou, couldn’t have been more hospitable as he gave us a guided tour of all the fruit trees and showed us around the new renovations to the site. We spent most sunrises & sunsets on the dock swing watching dolphins, manatees, and sting rays swimming around and listening to the songs of so many varieties of Florida birds. This wasn’t our first stay here at the River House and it most certainly will not be our last! Thank you so much ~ we really look forward to our next stay with you!

Stayed Jul 5, 2022We couldn't be more pleased with the home and property. Very well kept, very clean and super peaceful. We stayed a full week and will for sure be coming back next year. Their attention to details is outstanding, first class.
