The stay was nice the house needs some TLC but that’s expected in the harsh elements of Florida.

A great place for everyone!
We stayed at this lovely beach home with our siblings & spouses for 4 nights and it was perfect. The rooms, decor, and furnishings were everything listed. Of course we were very lucky with the weather......perfect! If anyone is interested in charter boat fishing we highly recommend East Coast Fishing Charters of Melbourne,Florida......Don is owner and is super!

Lipstick on a pig
We were so excited to stay at this property. The photos in the add looked great, including great amenities and location. Unfortunately when we arrived it was a whole new story. The pool was dirty, full of debris in the bottom. The house was also very poorly cleaned. The flooring throughout the house was dirty, the couch had food crusted on it. There was only 1 kitchen towel that we could find in the whole house. The bathrooms had been poorly cleaned, there was toilet paper on the floor in 2 of them. While the cleanliness was poor, the biggest issue of this house was that 2 of the doors leading to the ocean side, did not lock AT ALL. Having kids, this was not acceptable. Fortunately, the host did return some of our money.

Accommodations were great.
Loved the beach location. Had all the beach "toys" for the kids. Living space great. Kitchen lights inadequate. I like a bright light kitchen. Kitchen equipment, great. Outside furniture not so good. Really needs replacing with plastic, to keep from beach weather rusting. Would be helpful to speak to the SALT water in the home. We did go get fresh water to drink and make coffee. Would be good to know showers are salty. Communication with host, Lauren, was fantastic. Allowed early check-in. No such thing as perfection. I would stay again.

Not A Nicer Ocean View Anywhere……But
We found this property over a year ago, and even considering it was an extra 4 hour drive for our family from our normal North Carolina Beach stay, we were so impressed with the location and pool area with a hot tub we decided to try this area a few miles south of Melbourne, FL. Upon arriving, we noticed the pool was in very poor condition water quality wise. Sand, worms, and other debris were at the bottom and the filter system was obviously not working properly. Called the owner about it and he said to use the creepy crawly vacuum system. There wasn’t enough suction for the device to even work, so my son-in-law dived down with his snorkel system and a 1 1/2 inch pool hose to get up the lightweight debris. We weren’t even notified someone would clean up the sand but they finally arrived on Tuesday morning. Doors on the upper level ocean side were hard or impossible to open and not able to be locked. Ants on the counter in the kitchen. This property has so much potential! Lots of bikes and beach toys available, and the gas grill worked great, but sadly it has a feeling of needing an entire face lift. Love the area! Saw a night space launch from the balcony and the beach is beautiful with very few people. Boat rentals including pontoons just down the street for boating on the beautiful Indian River. If you’re looking for a private like beach, this area is the place. We will return, but we’ll find another location next time.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback following your recent stay at our property. We appreciate your honest assessment of your experience, and we take your comments to heart as we continually strive to improve our guest experience. We are truly sorry for the issues you encountered during your stay, especially regarding the pool. Upon being notified of the sand in the pool, we promptly contacted the pool company, and they arrived the following day. We regret that you had to endure a 24-hour delay before the sand was removed from the pool. We also apologize for the problems you experienced with the doors and the presence of ants in the kitchen. These issues should not have occurred, and we will work diligently to address and resolve them to ensure a more comfortable stay for our guests in the future. We appreciate your kind words about the location and the unique experiences you had in the area, such as witnessing a night space launch and enjoying the beautiful, less crowded beach. It's great to hear that you made the most of your time in the area. We understand your decision to explore other options for your next visit, but we hope that you may reconsider and give our property another chance once we have taken the necessary steps to improve and provide a more enjoyable stay. Thank you for choosing our property for your vacation, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future to demonstrate the improvements we have made.

Fair place
The house is beautiful, the location is perfect. Idk who cleans this place but there was 2 raw pieces of chicken in the pool that we did not see until someone put their feet on it. There was raw chicken skin on 2 of the balconies. And the sliding glass doors took the strength of the hulk to open and shut. One of the handles was barely hanging on and broke off during our stay. Other than that. It was a gorgeous house and wonderful stay.

Had a great time in the rental for yearly family vacation. Lovely location on the beach with epic views of the Ocean and sea turtle tracks each morning during nesting season. Pool was a hit. House could use some loving care in terms of updates and upgrades. Owner was very responsive and easily asessible!

Beach Bliss!
This house was perfect for a few days away on the beach. Had plenty of room for each of us to have our own space and for all of us to be together as well. The house is fully stocked with all that you may need. Towels, beach toys, games, linens, kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook a meal. Had a few minor issues and the manager, Jared, was quick to respond to my messages and helped us resolve them quickly. We will surly try to get this home again when we are back in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay. There was a ton of space, more than enough for us with two couples. You cannot get any closer to the beach. It’s amazing. The view is unmatched. We love Melbourne and we love the inlet so the location was perfect.

Great location for beach privacy
We arrived just a couple of days after the hurricane had gone through the area. There was debris from the storm, which is to be expected. We loved the private beach, and the weather was just perfect for our relaxing weekend. Any inconveniences that we encountered (internet out, etc) were all related to the storm and out of the control of the owners. We would consider staying here again. It was spacious and you cannot beat the location & view.

Just feet from the private beach or feet to the pool! Spacious and had everything we needed. Took the family and stayed 5 days and it was spectacular! Jared was so quick to help us with a WiFi issue (no fault of theirs). We would come back to this area just to stay at this house again!
