Great Spot, Very Clean!
Overall we had a great stay. The place was very clean and had everything we needed, plus more. This place has been very well thought out for setting up people to stay there. I read through the journal and had even noticed they made some adjustments based on responses from previous guests. We enjoyed the back porch area, too. Everything was so well decorated and very cute! Great communication from the host, as well.

Clean cottage on Merritt Island
This cottage was very clean on the inside and the host was very welcoming. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. The cottage was a bit tight for my family of three. If you are wanting to stay near the Cape for a night or two, this is a great spot.

Wonderful Christmas
Reserved the VRBO in order to be able to visit with my son and be able to enjoy Christmas day and cook a dinner together. This little cottage not only have the amenities needed but was so very comfortable and homie. I loved staying here and if I come back to this area, I will definitely stay again.

Thanksgiving family trip
This was such a sweet property tucked away from the busy main road, but easy distance from Kennedy Space Center, which we visited. Cloud cover prevented seeing it, but we were close enough to feel and hear the midnight rocket launch the second night of our stay. Really excellent kitchen, comfy beds, and relaxing back deck.
