Location is wonderful - on Banana River, has pool and tennis court, and within walking distance of beach! Needs maintenance - broken chair leg, chairs need padding, beds EXTREMELY soft, cabinets and drawers in a disarray, missing lightbulbs, door knob on garage door to house doesnât work, master tub doesnât drain well, needs umbrellas for outdoor patio, mildew smell upon entering house.Needed better cleaning - drawers in fridge had pink sticky stuff in them, floors needed more intense wet mopping, bathroom grout needs cleaning.All of this being said, we had a great time - enjoyed the pool, played pickleball, watched sunsets, ospreys, herons, dolphins and manatees from dock. Even saw a Spacex launch! I just had to do more cleaning than I expected. It is a lovely property. It just needs some attention.
If you are looking for a no frills vacation, this is the spot. The house has great bones and was big enough for 6 adults and 4 kids. They loved the pool and fishing dock. Bring coolers for additional refrigeration.
Great location. We had a blast.
Had a great time with family and friends in the pool and on the pool table. We were with in walking distance of the beach and a few minutes from Cocoa Beach. We had a great time there
The location is perfect; the house is waterfront, and the view is superb; the beach is one block from the house. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house is charming and cozy...and the tennis court is an amazing perk!
Property is very spacious both inside and out. We had 11 people and never felt overcrowded. Lots of bedding and linens and the bonus items for the beach are great.
Overall it was a good stay.
Wonderful property for big families. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Our youngest caught his first fish right off the dock! So many different options for fun at this house.
House was perfect for our get together. Large house, lots of rooms big common areas. Back yard was amazing, pool area is much bigger than the pictures. Stocked with fun things to do. River sunsets were beautiful.
Stayed at the house last spring. Family loved it and wanted to return . Thanks, Albino. We have lovely memories and were glad to bring the boat.
A few problems withe an aging dock area, but didn't spoil our fun.đ
We absolutely loved staying at this house.
The views are breathtaking & amazing sunsets.
We enjoyed the pool & kayaks.
The house had everything we needed.
It was clean & we had no problems.
We will definitely rent again.
Thank you.
What an awesome house and property! We wished we rented for two weeks. We played pickle ball, kayaked and fished off the dock, watched sunsets. the upstairs covered deck was great. We barely went to the beach which is always beautiful and uncrowded. We plan on coming back to this house every year!
Great, large house right on the inland water and 2 blocks to the beach. Great pool, tennis court, kayaks and paddle board. Pool table. 3 bedrooms and 3 sofa beds. Kitchen facilities are adequate and it did take a few hours to get the house cooled offf but then A/C worked fine. We have stayed here twice and will again
This property was perfect for what turned out to be a not so perfect week in Florida. The weather didn't cooperate but there were plenty of activities for us right at the house. The kids played tennis in the rain and didn't mind that the pool was a bit chilly during the rain either. We all warmed up in the Roman Spa and enjoyed the pool table. There was plenty of room to hang out inside!! We will be back.
Great trip! Loved the house and location! Our family of five very much enjoyed the stay in this house for our spring break vacation. The house is spacious, well-furnished, and has a lot of character. We really enjoyed the private tennis court in the backyard as our kids are tennis fans as is Mom! The house is close to the beach - just a short walk away. Our kids enjoyed spending time in the nice-sized private pool in the afternoons. The house is in a great location - just a short distance from the center of Cocoa Beach and about an hour's drive to the Orlando attractions. We are looking forward to returning for a future trip!
We had a grand time. No, the house isn't perfect. But we had more than expected. My young adults never, ever, ever got bored. They always had something to entertain them, rain or shine. Pool games, kayak races, tennis tournament whatever. They are very anxious to return. That's what its all about!!!! Grand family experiences â€ïž
We had a great stay. Traveled from Oregon to visit family in Florida For Mom/grandmaâs 90th birthday. Plenty of room for our large family to spread out with 3 living rooms. Spent a relaxing week lounging by the pool, Kayaking the river, Sunsets and morning coffee on the dock. Watched two different rocket launches from the beach. House is on a large lot with lots of privacy. Close enough to the beach to hear the waves at night.
Nice upstairs master suite with deck and rive views. Quirky en-suite Roman bath could be updated. Would be nice if it had a king bed. Downstairs master opens to pool deck. Other bedrooms have shall patio outside as well. Kitchen is tight to work in with more than two people but fairly well stocked with dishes and suchâŠrandom oil/spices left by others and us. We donated 8 wine glasses as their was only 2. Bring your own Paper towels and dishwasher soap. Coffee maker was broke but we made do with drip style.
Bath towels are all stored in linen closet not in bathrooms so stock your bathroom before bed if you want a morning shower.
As per other reviews house is dated and in need of a lot deferred maintenance but once settled in you get used to the quirks and the space and view make up for it. We really had a great time and would love rent this spot again.
I booked a year in advance, and did so with some trepidation based upon some of the prior reviews. Communication with the owner was spotty at times, but when critical, they were responsive. The property sits on a fantastic lot, with beautiful views of and a private dock on the intercoastal / river. We took out supplied kayaks and explored the paddling âtrailsâ not far away. The tennis court is in good shape, and we played tennis and pickle ball daily. The pool is clean and really nice, but very cold at this time of year. The pool deck was a great place to relax and talk with family and friends - even during the cold snap, as it is sheltered from any wind and excellent sun exposure. The house is about 2.5 blocks from the beach, so we used the bikes and walked the beach daily. The house itself is spacious and laid out well to offer privacy to a number of people. While the appointments are dated, everything functioned well, and the kitchen was well-stocked with the kinds of items we needed, even for a big Christmas dinner (save measuring spoons and some spices). The heat and air both functioned perfectly (and yes, over our 10-day stay, we used both!), and laundry worked great. The beds and linens were very comfortable, and the WiFi signal was strong and consistent. We are clean freaks, and were happy with the condition of the most-used areas. All-in-all, we were very happy with our stay and with the property, and would consider renting again in the future.
We were surprised when we arrived at this vacation spot and checked it out in person. This place was beautiful and perfect for accommodating large parties. The pool has a really cool shape with a sailfish embedded in the floor. A tennis court, racquets and balls included, with fencing in all the right places provided great entertainment for the kids. There is a nice, partially covered dock riverside which is great for fishing and launching kayaks, provided by owner and laid out dockside. We got some shrimp and fished morning and evenings catching trout, ladyfish, catfish. Iâm sure snook and reds are an option as well. The property is on a large pocket in the river which provides wind protection keeping waters calm. Lots of docks as well as mangrove shorelines available to fish. The beaches are beautiful and only a few hundred yards away. Plenty of quality restaurants in the area also. Canât wait to come back.
Property was great, as presented. could use come cleaning
Property was perfect for our group. Large space, great outdoor and indoor space. Close to the beach, great pool and dock area.
loved the tennis court. Would definitely stay here again
Our experience was HORRIBLE! We never heard from the owner so we didn't know how to access the property. Now VRBO will not refund my money because they say the property owner has to refund it. Even though we can't get a response from the owner.
While I would love to see some deep cleaning and updates done to this property, it really was a great spot for our family of 11. Itâs in a quiet neighborhood and a short drive to the pier and grocery stores. The pool, kayaks, fishing poles and games kept everyone entertained. We saw dolphins and Manatees from the dock. It was a perfect spot to spend our 3 days prior to boarding a Disney ship for our cruise (Port Canaveral is 15 minutes away). I do think we will be returning to this house in the future. May 13-16
