Perfect Stay for our Baseball Tournament at Space Coast Stadium
The house was perfect, everything the description says and even more spacious that anticipated. It was very clean, easy to access and in great location to the events we were in town for. The outside area and common grounds were immaculacy maintained. The pond and tiki house were awesome and access to the dock on the Indian River was great. I would highly recommend this property.

Breathtaking Oasis
Quick transaction. Heather was responsive to all inquiry. The property was immaculate. Every one in the family gave a thumbs up for the place, even our dog had a big smile on his face when he step into the property. Ample space to move around; comfortable bed. The view of the orchard and the pond is amazing. Most specially , the view of the sunset from the dock is breathtaking. 40 mins from Kennedy Space Center and about 1.5 hours to Disney World. Our family had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

Cute house far from
Lovely property. Furnishings of the home were nice. Though the appliances like the dishwasher, toaster and microwave could use an upgrade. Toaster was very small that you couldn’t fit a piece of bread in it and the microwave barely fit a microwaveable bag of popcorn. The dishwasher door has to be pushed into alignment to close the door. The interior lighting was very dark in the living room and dinning room area and a few pot lights continuously flickered. There is a bbq grill but renters need to fill the propane tank which I found to be odd since if I filled it, I’d be filling it for several other guests and no instructions how to replace the propane tank or where to go for a replacement, so can’t really consider that a grill is available for use. Property manager was very responsive and helpful. This is a nice home but the little details to make this home a wonderful rental property should be considered.

Just wow!
South Merritt Island is a tropical wonderland. We felt like we were in Bali while staying at this nicely-sized open concept home with a casual surfer-in-paradise vibe. Natural teak and wood finishes inside to meet beautiful grounds and nearby beaches and other attractions outside. If you prefer a nature-focused getaway to neveau-glitz, take a leap and stay here.

Beautiful gem in a perfect location!
Very nice home in a perfect location. Simple and easy check in and out, no hassle of going to a rental office or having to schedule a meeting with someone. The back yard trail leads to a dock that is simply magnificent and will give you a perfect view of the breathtaking sunset nightly.

Overall good place on Merritt Island, Huge garden and house with all necessary items in kitchen etc. Unfortunately the place is close to the the street and the heater is a bit noisy. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the week and had really good and relaxing holidays. Thanks to the team

We arrived at 4:00pm and had to wait for the property to be cleaned. Issues with the air conditioner and needed a few things we had to go out and buy ourselves. Overall it was a nice property and enjoyed our stay.

6/10 Okay

cookie h.

just average
The 3rd bedroom is not really a bedroom, but a room with pocket doors off the living room. There was 1/3 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and that was it. Toilet seat was cracked completely through on the hallway bathroom. Master toilet doesn't really flush properly. Someone before us had a dog there and there was pet hair still around from their visit, and if you have allergies, best plan to bring your own tissues. Kitchen was clean, as were the showers. Very handy to have washer and dryer on premises. Not a great location if you want to take a morning walk since it is off a busy road. Overall I would say it is average, but suggest owners at least provide more than a roll of toilet paper, paper towels and include a tissue box for the house. Location was convenient to surrounding areas.

Fantastic Secluded Beach Getaway
We were extremely pleased with this property. It is located in a beautiful area of the island and is very private. The private gated entrance enhanced the feeling of privacy but the fact that we didn't see another living soul (apart from the lawn crew) during our entire stay was really a huge selling point as the house provided privacy without a the feeling of isolation that sometimes accompanies it. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and well appointed. There was ample space for our family of 4. The mattress in the master bedroom was modern and extremely comfortable as was the seating in the living area (both of these are rare finds in FL rental properties in this price range - at least in our experience). While small, the pool was clean, more than met our needs and provided us with countless hours of relaxation when we weren't enjoying Cocoa's pristine beaches. We would stay here again without hesitation!

Property was absolutely stunnning. The location and area was prefect for us, 15 mins to the USSSA Space complex, shopping, beaches, etc... we even got to see our first rocket launch from the house. Overall the stay was wonderful. We couldn’t be more happier. Awesome property owner and property manager!!! Five stars all around. We just pray they keep this property going for more years to come. We would love to rent again.
