Everything about our stay was excellent. This was by far the best stocked vacation house we have ever booked. From kitchen supplies, to beach towels, bath towels and bed linens. It accommodated our large family nicely and everyone had a great time playing ping pong, relaxing in the hot tub and swimming in the pool. We greatly appreciated the collapsible cart and beach chairs too, they made our trips to the beach easier.

Great place to stay!

We stayed here for four nights with our son and daughter-in-law. It was a great house , with lots of amenities, very private back yard, very quiet neighborhood. Nice pool and hot tub too! Plenty of towels, a washer and dryer. It was very bright and clean. Not far from the beach and lots of things to do and see. Highly recommend this property!

Great home while visiting family

We stayed here while visiting our home town. The house was really nice. Plenty of room for our family of 5 plus my sister and her son to stay with us. Our kids enjoyed the pool too. We’d definitely consider staying here again when we come back into town.

The property was everything we asked for and more. The location was minutes away from the beach and food around the corner of every street. Neighbors were peaceful and back yard is great for a relaxing day outside. The pool is a great size for adults and children. Thank you for sharing your wonderful house and many great memories were made.

Great Property with plenty of space

My family and I really enjoyed our time and had a g rest vacation. The house had plenty of room for everyone and we took advantage of the pool and grill. The ping pong table stirred up some competition and location was close to many restaurants and the beach. We’ll be back.

Great place on a cul-de-sac

Quaint place with plenty of room on a cul-de-sac. House was in close proximity to many local and chain restaurants and just a short drive away from all the attractions. The hot tub was plenty warm, the pool as well. Plenty of space to gather with family and friends. The check-in service was un matched answering any questions I had and were very accommodating. I’d most definitely stay here again.

The house was perfect for our short family trip. We spent a day on Cocoa that took only minutes to drive and the beach was easily accessible. Spent a day at Kennedy Space Center that was less than 20 minutes away. The house has a ping pong table that kept us all entertained, as well as a very maintained pool and hot tub. We did lots of cooking and grilling as the house is fully stocked and equipped with everything needed. Will definitely reserve again!!!
