Very nice property, well kept. Can tell they take pride in their house
Nice experience for a family get-a-way. This beautiful home has a bit of everything you would need. Daily sunrises and sunsets were fabulous on the deck. The communication process with the property manager was seamless and professional and kind. We would stay here again! We would make one recommendation that a king sized bed be added to main bedroom. :)
Great choice for my husband and I. This house has it all. Weve stayed at many VRBO locations throughout FL and i would say this house ranked as one of the best for us. Loved the back porch, chairs, lights at night, watching the fish and birds in the canal and of course, the pool. Well stocked kitchen. Clean. Quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay there again.
The home was very nice, clean. Roomy, and comfortable. The pool was perfect with the water view and fire place. Would revisit this location again!!
We recently stayed in Merritt Island for baseball, this home was the perfect getaway to relax and stay cool after being at the ballparks all day long. The homeowners were more than accommodating, checking on us throughout the week if there was anything we needed, recommendations for anywhere…. We would definitely stay again!!!
This was my first time renting a home with an on-line service and it made me a believer. From the beginning I asked a lot of questions and Jared responded within a day, each time. He offered suggestions of local activities and restaurants in the area. The house looks great in the photos, but they don't do the home justice. All of the furnishings looked as though they were locally sourced, based on a day of shopping in the area, making the home feel cozy and a part of the beach lifestyle. The size was perfect for my family of 5 adults, we never felt crowded or on top of one another. We spent a good portion of the long weekend in the pool and patio area. The fans over the covered portion helped keep us cool in the extreme Florida heat, when we weren't reliving our younger days, enjoying the pool. The only thing that would have made our stay better is if we could have stayed a few extra days. I thank the hosts for the beautiful listing. I absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to feel relaxed and at home while enjoying the best part of life in Florida, fun in the sun with family and friends. Yes, we would rent here again. Thanks for the memories!
Very nice home, furnished with everything one would need. Nice heated pool, bikes, beach toys, garage.
The house was more than we could have imagined, everything was perfect. There was everything that we needed in the home for cooking, swimming, fishing, etc. The views were amazing. We even got to watch a rocket launch from the front steps. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely consider this home again.
Our family had a great time and the house was lovely and the perfect location for us! Thank you for providing such a great home.
Convenient location especially to Kennedy space center. Good communication with the host, accommodated all 8 of us perfectly, great kitchen and outside grilling area, heated pool awesome with outdoor living space, backyard view was wonderful and comfortable. A king size bed would be a great addition, wish we had lighting at the dining table, maybe LED edge light on the step down to family room from kitchen. I hope to get back to visit again!
Stayed with our family for several days, and cant say enough great things! Owners were very responsive and great to work with. The house is beautiful and so clean!!! Location is convenient to lots of local attractions. The outdoor area with the pool and dock was the icing on the cake....great way to enjoy the amazing weather and the water. We enjoyed our time immensely!
I enjoyed the stay and will be book again
Generally, this is a great place to make vacation. Communication to the host was easy and responsive. House is super clean, furniture, in and outside of high quality, size of the house is generous, so is the outside area. Barbecue is available, unfortuntely without proper light support after sunset. The light is one of the few critic points, next to the bed sizes. Every light in the house, beside the kitchen area, is kind of in-direct, which is a little disturbing. Dinner table (beautiful decorated), no direct central light over the table. Bed room light switch, it is there, but no central light, so one always has to find the way to the bed to turn on the light on the bed stand. Bed size master bad was our main critic point. We are an older couple, so a small queen bed is not very convienient for us, same in the second bed room, this would be our reason, and actually the only reason, for not coming back. For this price, I just expect to have a king size bed, at least in the master bed room. Outside pool is not heated, which no one would expect, BUT, when you travle during winter time, a nice thing to have, we could not use the pool, which was one of the reasons to rent the house. Our grandson lives close, and we wanted to have fun with him in the pool, which wasn't possible. In all fairness to say, there were the coldest 3 first days we had in Florida since decades, so no chance for the water to heat up again. Here to say, nothing one can expect, but would be lovely to have for the (high) price you pay. Over all, great location, wonderful house, super friendly and communicative host, but would not rent it again, at least not in the winter time.
This home was comfortable, clean, well maintained, spacious, and well equipped for a family gathering. Our son and his fiancée joined us, and we had fun cooking together and entertaining his fiancée’s family. Communication with Lauren and Jared, the property managers, was excellent. A few minor baubles, but nothing that would keep me from booking here again.
