Merritt Island, Florida
Enjoy the ultimate privacy and paradise on Merritt Island! Our spacious mission style home sits on a four acre peninsula on the Banana River. You can spend the day relaxing by the pool, having drinks by our outdoor bar, fishing or water fowl hunting. You can go kayaking and wind surfing on the river where you’re bound to see wild dolphins or manatees. We are just minutes from Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center and we are less than an hour away from Disney World.
We raised our five children on what we and our family and friends like to call it the “The Sosa Resort”.
Over the years we have done lots fishing, water skiing, knee boarding, wake boarding or just enjoyed watching the dolphin and manatee. In the cooler months we love to witness the bioluminescence which is a natural phenomenon of glowing blue waters caused by plankton. By just swirling your hand, a stroke of your paddle or just the darting trails of swimming fish, the water lights up like an electric light water show. The amazing images of perfectly lit dolphin zooming by, cause the water to spark up in glowing blue colors, just like in the movie Life of Pi.
Through the years we have enjoyed unforgettable birds-eye views, of beautiful and colorful sunsets! With shades of orange, red, purple and yes even pink!
We hope that you will also make happy memories and enjoy all of this and more!
The house was amazing had everything you could think of and then some.
Great views!
Dania was the most agreeable host and satisfied our every wish. The house has every possible amenity for a family vacation. Our grandkids loved the pool table, hot tub, exercise equipment, game room, etc. The kitchen is well stocked and the views are spectacular. We saw dolphins swimming right next to the bulkhead on two consecutive days. The only drawback for us was the sunroom for sleeping. It was much too bright and hot. We were unable to get the fan to work so we had to bunk up with kids in other rooms. It worked for us but may not for others. We even got to see a space launch during our visit and spent a day at Epcot. All in all, it was a lovely and pleasant experience.
location was perfect off the river and close to fishing and Orlando The owner was great giving us constant communication of area and home features. We will be back this summer to do this again great time!!!
Absolutely fabulous stay for our family reunion. The property has everything you need and makes it hard to leave. I had my morning coffee on the gazebo watching dolphins, followed by either a quick bike ride or paddle board. Then margaritas on the back deck. We found it hard to get out of the pool once we were in. Pool floats, water guns, diving rings, and volleyball kept the whole family busy for hours and hours. A game of corn hole in the yard and a boat ride before getting dinner ready. The kitchen was FULLY stocked. With many listings I find it hard to cook because you are always missing something, but not this one. The kitchen has 2 sinks and a huge island with cook top making it easy to get multiple people in to help. Every small appliance you could think of is there and even staple pantry items. After dinner we usually spent sometime inside either playing cards, ski ball, indoor shuffle board, pool, or foosball. For once the kids stayed off their iPads and had so much fun mastering each game. Rooms were very comfortable, almost everyone gets their own bathroom as well. Plenty of towels. Check in was a breeze, host was very responsive. The location had a lot of offer, we went for an airboat ride and saw a rocket launch from the water as close to NASA property as you are allowed to get. The beach is just a couple minutes away. Worth every penny!
Dana was a wonderful host! The home had everything you could want on vacation. They really have thought of everything! She was very responsive and sweet. We would come back to this house in a heartbeat!!! Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay!
We absolutely loved staying in this home for the holidays. There is so much to do, the location is brilliant, and Dania is a wonderful host. I highly recommend.
We had a great time and loved the property. Can’t imagine having a better view waking up. The owner was perfect and available when needed. The property itself was beautiful and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
