Old Florida Charm, House on the Indian River Lagoon with 250 ft Dock New Listing

We rented this property for 3 nights. If you like the smell of must everywhere, this place is for you. If you like a nice and loud train, including the whistle, rolling through at all hours of the day & night, this place is for you. I inquired w/the host about the train after I made our RSVP and I was told that the property is on 5 acres of dense woods separating them from the tracks. There were no dense woods; rather a bunch of cottages & other homes between this property & the tracks. Some trees, yes, but not dense woods. If you like old, uncomfortable mattresses & pillows, this place is for you. If you like cheap pilled sheets and musty smelling blankets, this place is for you. If you like rust in your tea, be sure to use the old rusted teapot! If you like dust & dog hair throughout, this place is for you. If you like the look of paint peeling off the walls, this place is for you. If you like sharing the property with other guests who rent the several cottages located on the back of this property, this place is for you. Bring lots of quarters with you, the laundry is also shared and coin operated. The water, including showers, has a rotten egg smell. It tarnished all of my silver jewelry, which I now have to send out to be professionally cleaned/polished. This place is Old but there is definitely no Charm. For the price we paid, I would've expected a hell of a lot nicer!!! The only nice thing I will say about this property is the view from the oversized front porch.

Nice waterfront home.

First of all it STUNK! Filthy, dirty, nasty molds everywhere, coffee pot has about 4 inches of molds, and is rusty, tea pot is rusty, cabinets and linen closets smells like mouse pee, roaches everywhere big ones, little ones and babies. A blanket has a hole and has stained like an old blood and stunk. Nasty sofa and throw pillows as well and dirty chairs in the kitchen. When we called the owner they just told us Oh well and hung up. The bathrooms and showers were stuck up. The air was so bad you can barely breath. We tried to stay but started to see more things wrong, we did not stay single night since we left. We went to Holiday Inn. This place absolutely ruined our vacation.

Amazing view, but check with owner if AC is fixed before booking.

Beautiful front porch to hang out on. Dock has lots of fish on it my kids loved it. House was perfect!

We loved all of the interactions with had with the owners and of other people staying at the location. It was a wonderful time and they provided plenty of space and on site activities for us to enjoy our downtime when we weren't boating. The AC is nice and cold. The dock was very clean . We loved how it was like a small community with all of the other cottages. Definitely considering this location for a future family reunion.

We enjoyed our stay. The historic home had wonderful views and was close to our family.

The property was lovely yet very dated. Although it appeared clean we could smell mold. The appliances and dishes were in bad shape. Sheets on the beds were stained and stiff. We also found a couple of roaches which turned us off the possibility of returning or recommending the property. The location was fabulous!

Our stay was enjoyable. Location quiet and close town and beaches. Beds were very comfortable. The reason for a 4 rating was the 3rd bedroom/sun room was missing blinds from the big front window and the french access doors had not blinds....privacy was an issue. The 2 bathrooms were located within the 2 other bedrooms making it difficult to access at night for those sleeping in the 3rd bedroom. Many little cosmetic issues but we saw many impovements being made. We cooked Christmas dinner here and found the kitchen sorely lacking....updated cookware and overall cleanliness. Overall , still an enjoyable and pleasant stay.

The space was generous. The views phenomenal. Our only downside was the cleanliness. Have no issues with a vintage unit (offers charm and character), but this had nothing to do with how old the house was. It is need of a deep clean. For only being there two days it was not worth calling the property managers back out, only to have us leave the unit to clean again.
