Beautiful Property for short or long stay

Lovely place for our family to stay for a month. Easy drive to beaches, parks, and the treasure coast. Layout makes it easier to have alone spaces than I would’ve thought, which was helpful. Host was gracious and always available for communication. Special touches absolutely made it delightful.

This is such a cute, funky, boho cottage and was super cozy. The hosts were great about staying in contact and were very sweet to communicate with during the stay. This is definitely a pet-friendly place, with lots of fun reminders of that in every nook. The Alexa and handbook were very cool touches, so it was easy to both check in and check out. Only a couple of minor things to mention: first, and this is more of a personal issue, there was either an air freshener or potpourri that seemed very pungent to me. I'm not usually sensitive to such things, and again, the place was very clean.The other was that the neighbors were a bit noisy late at night, although I’m happy to say that, as Kara mentioned when I asked, I did not hear the trains roll by overnight.This was a really good stay, as much as anything. The responsiveness and helpfulness were greatly appreciated during the visit.

Wonderful 10/10

Kara and Dave from the beginning of us booking our trip were super communicative. They made the check in process seamless and answered any questions we had in minutes. The house was the perfect place for our pup and family to spend time together. We were welcomed with homemade bread and a sweet note from Kara and Dave, making us feel right at home. It’s only a few minutes from anything you could want to do. I recommend this stay, and we will be booking again in the future.

Charming & Immaculate Cottage

Loaded with personality, this beautiful 1920s cottage welcomes you with all the comforts of home. Super clean and well stocked with everything you need. Owners were very communicative and provided an informative book to answer any questions you may have. We loved the outside sitting areas especially the front porch for viewing the sunrise. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, and quiet rental to rest and restore, this is the place for you.

Cozy , clean and comfortable home. The hosts for this property personalized our stay and we're so accommodating. We were in town for a long weekend for football showcase tournament. Great place to relax on our down time. Neighbors are all so nice as we were out walking our dog. Our Izzy made lots of new little friends. Short drive to the beach...we even went for beautiful Sunrise. Great communication with hosts! Would recommend for a home away from home, lots of charm.

It's set up a little quirky, but charming just the same. We all loved the hidden room! The patio area is so peaceful and relaxing to sit in.

Great stay!

We booked this cute cottage for our family to spend 4th of July by the beach! It had everything we could possibly need and then some. It was very cute and the welcome snacks were a bonus, the kids loved them!! The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Not only is this place great for families to enjoy, but also a great place to bring your dog! He loved the outdoor space and the treats!! The location was convenient, we could get anywhere we wanted to go within 15 minutes. This cottage was perfect for our stay and we had an amazing time!! We will definitely be back!!

Hospitality at it’s finest

What a cute house! It was overwhelming obvious that the homeowner has a love for making everyone feel welcome. They had a welcome card for my service dog Patton with little treats. There were a dozen toys for him to play with and the cutest backyard area for him to do his business. The location was perfect for what we needed. The beach was right over the causeway, there was a poker room 10 minutes away and minutes from the family that we were visiting. We slept 5 plus Patton very comfortably. Thank you for your hospitality! It really helped to make our vacation special!

Pet friendly paradise

My oldest daughter was playing in the USSSA World Series this past week at Space Coast stadium in Viera. We needed a pet friendly rental where we could also cook, do laundry, and was within a 22-25min drive from the stadium. This lovely cottage did not disappoint! It was clean, well stocked and “user friendly”. Our dog felt at home, which was a huge bonus, since it was too hot for our big guy to go to the fields. My daughters and I were well rested and enjoyed all the little special nooks that the cottage offered. We will definitely be staying there again next time she plays at Space Coast! Thank you Kara and Dave for being so very accommodating!
