Charming home. Beautiful old trees, mature landscaping. Pet friendly. Easy access to beach. I visited the area to do some bird watching. Reasonable drive to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The mature landscaping was a draw to a number of birds, including a pair of thrashers! Hoping I have the opportunity to return in the future.

Peaceful, relaxing stay

This is our 2nd stay at this property. The first time was to visit Kennedy Space Center and this time for a church conference on Merritt Island. We loved that this was away from the traffic and busy tourist area. We also enjoyed walking out on the dock and seeing the water. They accommodated an early check in. We were quite comfortable there.

Our 1st VRBO and won’t be the last

When we saw the listing we knew we would love it and we were not disappointed. The exterior was so inviting and relaxing. The interior had everything we could want. The beds were quite comfortable, as well as the couch. I wish I could have the time to have spent more than a weekend here. My husband and I both said that we could easily live here. We will definitely return when we are in the area.

Outstanding property and host

Our stay was easy and comfortable. On the day of our arrival I received message from the host on how to enter the home. We arrived after dark and the home was easy to find using Google Maps and the street address was visible on the home. The entry was well lit. The home was exactly as described. The home and location was quiet and comfortable. Had everything we needed for our stay. A nice older home. Would definitely stay here again.

Dock not actually on property

Besides ants in the kitchen, the house looked fine. However, the listing makes it sound like the dock is on the property on which you will be staying. It is not. In order to access the dock, you have to go next door to the owner's house and into their backyard to access the "private dock" which is by no means private since they can sit and watch you from their living room. When we contacted the owner and told her we felt the listing was not accurate, she said "I was very clear in the listing about the location of the dock, if you don't want to stay you can just check out." We did not end up staying, contacted customer support and got a refund. Had the listing clearly stated that the dock was not on the property this would not have been an issue.
