Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The home needs to be remodeled. There was dust on the fixtures and the heater had to be fixed while we were there. Wasted 4 hours and had to get reimbursed for the repair. The pilot light on the hot water heater goes out so you have to relight it to make sure you have hot water.

Great house on the canal

This house was too big for 2 of us but our son and family lived 7 minutes away so we all enjoyed hanging out on the porch and dock. Saw lots of dolphins and manatees out the back door. So close you could almost touch them. Grandkids enjoyed fishing. Private, clean and comfortable. Definitely will do again.

Great Place to Stay

The home was clean and well maintained. Everything you need was available plus some. Robert was great with communication and provided lots of information for places to eat, where to see things we were looking for. Seeing manatees, birds and jumping fish in the canal behind the house was a bonus too. Check in/out was easy. I would definitely stay here again if I go back to the area.

Cocoa Beach vacation

The house was very spacious and had lots of amenities. They had beach gear(chairs, umbrella and cart) which was really nice. They also had a few kayaks which we used to paddle the channel and river where we saw dolphins and manatees. We were able to fish off the dock with the fishing poles they had which was super cool. The back deck area is so nice to sit and watch all the wildlife. We had 3 manatee sightings right off the dock. The house is located in a nice convenient part of town and super peaceful. All the stuff to cook meals and love the added washer and dryers for speeding up cleanup after a day at the beach. Would highly recommend this house for your next vacation to the area.

It’s an older home but well maintained, clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the dock in the back where we saw birds, a manatee and dolphins in the distance. The owner was accessible and responsive to the few questions we had. Very satisfied.

Blissful peace

This location was amazing! It is so beautiful and peaceful that my wife and I just felt the stress melt away. The house is cute and a great layout, it is starting to need a little updating. We could sit on the porch every morning and watch the birds, squirrels, jumping fish and dolphins while we had breakfast. In the evening there is a Great Blue Heron that visits and hangs out with you. Cant wait to visit again!

Relaxing and Homey

We needed some R and R while moving locally and this home delivered. Very relaxing and peaceful. Had everything we needed. however some hand soap and small bars of bath soap in the bathrooms to get us started would have been a nice touch.

Clean, family friendly property

We loved this home, it was spacious, clean, accessible and safe. The owner had easy to follow rules and had plenty of towels, blankets, and home comforts. Our only complaint was that the thermostat could not be lowered to our desired temperature, but that’s not a deal breaker. The home was perfect for what we needed
