This property was in the perfect location for our trip to play in a tournament at Space Coast Stadium in Viera. It had everything our large group needed, and the amenities made our stay comfortable and convenient. Communication with the owner was excellent — always quick and friendly.

Our multigenerational family (13 people, ages 1 to 73) had a great time here. The indoor spaces met our needs well, but the best part was outside. The kids spent hours in the pool, we saw dolphins and a space launch from the dock, and we all fit around the table in the screened patio. The beach is only 11 minutes away. Communication with Tim was great. A wonderful stay.
