Was super clean, super cute. Even though it's attached to their home it was very quiet. It felt very private. I think the old open food should be thrown out before new people come to stay. I also think it's a little high in price considering you have to drive 30 minutes to get to anything and everything. They had a bottle of wine and fresh fruit on the table waiting for us. Overall excellent property just a little high in price.

Everything I required, and then some.

My daughters and I spent a night in the loft. The space had everything we needed for comfort and convenience. We felt right at home. We loved Indian River, off the tourist path, but in close proximity to everything in the area. Next time we will bring our kayaks and launch them on the nearby river.

Comfortable spot to unwind

My husband and I needed a spot to stop and rest along our trip route and this place was great for it. Super clean, comfy chairs and murphy bed to crash a while and a couple good restaurants to grab a drink and some food close by. Owner was super nice and we loved being greeted by the family pets when we arrived

We rented with Amanda for a long weekend. It was a good location right in town walking distance to most beach , stores and restaurants. There was plenty of room for our boat. The cottage was very nice, clean and stocked with most everything you need. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
