I found this property to be exactly as advertised, but more importantly, I found it to be a true second home. My wife and I are in the process of purchasing a condominium down here and we’re always battling with the beach or the river each has its benefits….in this case the river won. Every day we saw multiple manatees and occasionally a few dolphins swimming by extremely tranquil, very enjoyable and allowed my family to reconnect.

The communication with the home owner and his team was fantastic. The home itself was well keep and perfect for my family. We loved the comfort and old Florida charm. The access to local areas is perfect and dock access what top notch. We were able to see all forms of wildlife and fish. The house was the perfect setting for our long weekend and even got to watch a SpaceX launch with little to no obstructions. I would absolutely stay again.

Great Location, Beautiful House

We arrived to find a spotlessly clean, well-appointed home. Within an hour of our arrival we saw a manatee off the dock and later that evening, two dolphins! The house was exactly as advertised and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

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.

A great home away from home

Our family had the best time at this property. We spent time together fishing from the dock, cooking meals together and borrowing the beach gear for a fun day at the beach. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us! Will definitely be back if we need a place to stay on the Space Coast. PS - our host, Robert, was great. He checked in on us several times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.

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.

Botanical Gardens in backyard

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Fantastic plants on screen porch and in backyard overlooking the nature preserve. Comfortable home with plenty of furnishings and room to spread out. Look forward to using kayaks next time. Made a great launchpad for our visit to KSC!
