Magical Waterfront Home,Sunsets, Guest House, Beach, Dock, game room, Playground

Loblolly (original name given home) is a unique and special place to make lasting family memories. Your special vacation home has been featured on the front cover of SPACES (space-coast style and design magazine). Loblolly has been a featured property in the Tropical Trail Spring Bloom Tours over the years. Your vacation home sits directly on the Intercoastal waterway. The property was built in the early 70s and designed to be a peaceful place to retire. Loblolly was purchased from the original family and completely reimagined... Evenings at beach fire pit relaxing, watching the sunset while dolphins jump in the background.... enjoying the dock, kids in playground next to you while you sunbath at pool. The pool was designed for kids very large walk in beach area, a family stroll around Loblolly trail- a coquina path that circles the property... just magical.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful Marriott island home! The property is absolutely stunning — spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and fun. The private pool and hot tub were the highlights of our days, surrounded by lush landscaping and plenty of seating to unwind.Inside, the home felt like a true resort. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, and the playroom was a huge hit with the kids — they didn’t want to leave! Every detail has been considered, from beach towels and games to top-notch appliances and cozy outdoor spaces for evening dinners.The location was ideal — close to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions, yet perfectly peaceful and private. The hosts were responsive and kind, making the entire experience effortless.We can’t recommend this home highly enough for families or anyone looking for a luxurious, relaxing island escape. We’re already planning our return trip!

Fantastic property for multi-family vacation.

We had multiple families visit for our HS seniors spring break. The guest house, studio apartment & cabana allowed for each family to have separate spaces. The pool & hot tub area & dock were perfect for all If our teens to hang out and enjoy the week. The house is stocked with tons of kayaks & other yard games. We had a fantastic week!

A Retreat To Remember

This estate will leave a lasting impression. We gathered as a family from all across the U.S. and it’s always challenging to find a property that can accommodate our large family that vary in ages and allows enough interest to give everyone something to be happy with. This property is it! The bunk rooms are perfect for the kids and allow for an extra bed for the adult to sleep with them if they get nervous in a new surrounding or are acting up at bedtime!! The game room and pool and jungle gym will keep all age kids busy during the day. The game room has everything! For the adults and older kids the Foley family has you covered. Every kind of water craft (non motorized) is at your disposal. They also offer a fishing rods, yard sports and everything in between. If you love to cook the kitchen is stalked with everything you could possibly think of or need. The family living areas are full of books and history to keep the mind occupied and if you like to BBQ it’s a prime setup. We have traveled the world as a family and have stayed in dozens of rental properties and this sits in our top 10. We will be back.

Thanksgiving Getaway

In short, this property is ridiculously beautiful and very convenient to lots of different activities. Everything you could possibly need is there and ready for use. From cooking in the commercial-grade kitchen to Galaga in the game room to catching fish on the dock, this property has it all and then some. The owners were very helpful and made it feel like a home away from home for us. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

This VRBO rental is a true gem. Nestled on the serene Intracoastal Waterway, it offers a tranquil getaway. The house, with its charming design and picturesque views, perfectly complements the surrounding Spanish moss trees. The pool area is a haven of relaxation, and the proximity to the Kennedy Space Center adds an extra touch of excitement. The hosts are attentive and welcoming, ensuring a seamless experience. For a serene retreat with easy access to both nature and space exploration, this VRBO rental is an ideal choice.

Pack Light!

The VRBO advertisement simply does not do this property justice. I cannot say enough positive things about the owner, as they knew the place like the back of their hand and was on top of everything! They were also very helpful with any questions we had about the property or the surrounding area. Loblolly, named as such by the owners, is a destination that continued to give throughout our stay. A relaxing and enjoyable time was had by all. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. You won’t regret it. We would love to stay again! Last note - you probably won’t need half of what you think you will. Pack light! This place has it ALL!

Best vacation spot in years

Beautiful sunsets, watching dolphins from the dock in the mornings, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, relaxing in the hot tub or on the lounge chairs in the sun-- this property is absolutely gorgeous and offered something for everyone in our group of 16 between the ages of 2 and 82. Kids played in the tree house or in the pool or on the beach area. And of course in the game room! We've never had a vacation house that was so relaxing and entertaining at the same time and so comfortable for our large group. We all had our own private spaces but the communal areas were comfortable and large enough for all of us to gather at once for lunch, dinner and game nights. The house had every amenity we could have asked for and was fully stocked with essential supplies. It is close to town for shopping and dining, although we enjoyed the property so much we chose to stay and enjoy meals at the house. Kennedy space center was a little under an hour away and was a great, easy day trip with the kids. Andrea was easy to contact, quick to reply and so gracious and helpful throughout our entire stay. We had a hard time leaving and hope to return next year. Highly recommend Loblolly!!!

Private wedding paradise

We booked the property for a small wedding with just family. There were plenty of bedroom and bathrooms spaces for all. The landscaping was so gorgeous and gave some privacy, and the pool and dock were both amazing. We packed some groceries, so there was no reason needed to leave the property, and we didn’t even want to! Angela was absolutely amazing to speak to and we appreciate being able to use the space for such a special day. Our stay was one to remember fondly for a lifetime!

Great place for a large group

We rented Loblolly for a Spring Break trip for 11 kids (ages 14-18) and 7 adults. The property is perfect for this kind of group. It has plenty of space, and we were never cramped. We saw dolphins every day and manatees every other day, sometimes right under the dock. The location is an easy drive to the various beaches, and the Indian River is a great spot for boating. We rented a boat from 321 Boat Rentals and took the kids tubing and fishing one day. The owner was great and provided a lot of very helpful information.
