Elegant 5-star hotel right on the beach

This is a very elegant direct Oceanfront home with the Atlantic Ocean as your own private back yard.

The home it self was built with the Ocean in mind having large glass 8 x 16 sliders in the formal dining room with the most amazing ocean views that are visible as soon as you enter the double pecky cypress front doors.

There are sliders in all the rooms that face east with ocean views from most of all the other rooms.

The oversized patio is made out of travertine marble and stretches across the complete rear of the home and all around the pool which has sun all day, facing east and west.

On the patio there is a built in gas grill for cooking right near the pool. It has a great out door area for sun bathing, swimming and enjoying meals on the patio furniture.

Many of our guests have enjoyed our home and have not left it to go out and about because they were very content enjoying the beach, privacy and all of the amenities that are offered with our home.

Other guests have enjoyed the quaint village of Indian River Shores where the home is located as well as the quaint Ocean Drive area with it's many restaurants, shops, and parks where art shows and farmers markets can be enjoyed.

This is truly a unique private beachfront estate close to everything.

We only rent our home on a weekly basis and only Saturday to Saturday to allow our guests a full weeks vacation.

Just okay
Owner needs to update pics on website so you can see what you’re really getting for the price. The house itself is super nice with the exception of the bad smell as you first walk in and needing a few updates, dirty grill, rotten patio furniture and lizards that we watched run around on the inside walls of the master bedroom, we had everything we needed and more than enough room. Nice pool. The one thing that would’ve been a deal breaker if we had known was not having direct beach access from the house.We had to walk down driveway and then up a long path, when we finally got there, there was a steep sand embankment with a rope tied that you had to hold onto and almost repel down to beach. Elderly parents & carrying gear & a 5 month old was not fun or safe! Wish owner disclosed this in his description but I guess I understand why he doesn’t. We still enjoyed our time together.

Home away from home!
Our family loves this beach house. We have stayed there now 6 times. We hadn't been for a few years and came back this year and felt like we'd returned home. There have been nice upgrades to the living room furniture and seating/tables outside. It was VERY clean upon arrival with fresh flowers waiting for us. We are a group of a few adults, teens and younger kids. We've been coming here since all the kids were babies. It perfectly accommodates a large family. The proximity of the pool and the house to the beach is perfect. The pool was very clean and a perfect temperature. There were quite a few beach toys our kids enjoyed. It was our first visit since the new condos next door went up and we barely noticed they were there. The steps to the beach were removed a few years ago but there is still a clear pathway for direct beach access. The younger adults and kids had no problem with it but it was a bit steep for the Grandma in our group so she stayed at the pool most of the time. :) The host Anthony is so kind and is always happy to answer questions and address any concerns asap. We have no complaints. We can't wait to come back again soon!!!

Family gathering
Five of us gathered in this beautiful, expansive house right on the beach close to Vero Beach restaurants and shopping. Large, well equipped kitchen for cooking together. Lovely pool that we used every day. Difficult access to beach because there are no stairs down the dune. Also, numerous things needed updating like towels and bed linen, as well as beach chairs.

Yearly beachfront family vacations are a staple for my family. This has been our favorite location. The house is beautiful with lots of space for everyone. My favorite thing about this house was the view we had. As soon as you open the front door the first thing you see is the beach. Just the perfect location.

Good trip, adjacent (south) property still being finished
If you read through the other reviews going back 2 years, and ignore "wildcards" that seem inconsistent - you have a proper understanding of what to expect. For context, I generally have high expectations for properties, and this fits within the ball park of my expectations for the cost. For us (parents with young kids), this was all about location and convenience (private pool, ocean view & access, nearly private beach) in a great area (Indian River Shores; A+) and a short drive (5 min) from restaurants/shops, & things to do. All of that was great (A+) and exceeded my expectations. Downsides? While well furnished, and everything was in working order and generally clean, the wear and tear on the property is all pretty evident and can be nit-picked variously, depending on your inclination. Family room, TV, Internet, kitchen appliances, beds, towels... all fine, no problems or issues there. Surprisingly, no extras (no beach umbrella, beach toys, etc... we left ours, so hopefully they'll be there in the future). There is still construction happening on the adjacent (south) property which overlooks the pool. We knew about it ahead of time because we asked the owner and he was forthcoming (see bing maps; google doesn't have it on there yet). He noted that he didn't expect exterior work, but there was moderate exterior work during our stay, weekdays primarily 9am - 1pm. Not terrible, but it was a bit more than we expected. I'd rent it again.

Tuscan holiday
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. The home is reminiscent of a coastal Tuscan Villa. Upon entry, the formal living room boasts a beautiful Steinway Grand player piano. The formal Dining room has a wet bar. The bedrooms are spacious with a split floor plan with the master with king bed and another guest suite with two full beds. Another bedroom across the hall had a king bed. All bedrooms had their own attached bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with proper cooking supplies. Outside their was a large pool and built in grill. There is construction going on next door but it did not affect us at all. There is a nice lawn behind the home. The yard is not fully fenced in - we brought a gate from home to close off a small staircase off the back of the patio to keep our dog contained. The beach access is a little tricky … there are no stairs - you have to walk down a sand dune. It could be tricky for someone with mobility issues. We had the beach mostly to ourselves - it was nice and wide ( unfortunately had seaweed while we were there ). There is a public beach area with a life guard not too far down the beach for visitors with children. The property is a quick 10 minute ride to the shops and restaurants in beachside Vero Beach.

Amazing Home!!!
The house itself was amazing, large but cozy. The beach on the other hand was disappointing. There were too many seaweeds and the waves were very strong. My young kids were a little afraid of the water. We ended up staying in the pool most of the time and venture to other surrounding areas. Overall, this house is a must for large family with kids. We will definitely be back again, hopefully next time there is no seaweed on the beach.

Wonderful Vacation
We stay in a different area every year, and this was by far one of our favorites. The house was beautiful and we greatly enjoyed ourselves. We only left the house to go to the grocery store, had everything we needed right there!! The cons were that we didn't realize the construction was literally on the other side of the pool, so we had construction workers watching us all day and LOUD noise from 7 am - 5 pm. It might have just been worse our week since they were working on the wall by the pool. Also, when we arrived the pool bottom was pretty dirty ( didn't stop us one bit though... ha ha ) Wish we would've known ahead of time what days the landscapers and pool lady were coming, we were getting ready to get in pool as she came to clean pool on our last full day and we couldn't use the pool for 2 hours. The day the landscapers came wasn't a big deal, but we would have planned our day differently. Overall our stay was FANTASTIC and the home is beautiful and being able to walk to the beach at any time is priceless.

In spite of minor dated household items needing attention, or the construction noise going on next door, this do not disrupt or deter us from our enjoyment of this lovely home, it’s location or property.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and the location was perfect. An Italian villa right on the beach with a beautiful yard and pool, but high enough up from the beach that it was private. Anthony was a gracious host and all the logistics went great. There is a fairly large construction project next door but it didn't negatively impact our stay. Thank you Anthony!

Beachfront haven
This property was everything we were looking for in a family gathering. An ocean view from practically the entire home, huge outdoor patio with a pool and plenty of outdoor furniture to relax. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need and each bedroom had its own private bath. Beautiful landscaping greets you upon entering the property and the owner, Anthony is dog friendly. What more can you want? The home does need some TLC in some areas as mentioned in previous reviews but this did not matter to us and had no impact on our enjoyment. Also, there is new home construction next door which did add some noise during the day but that's life and no fault of the homeowner Anthony who we did contact on one occasion to troubleshoot the outdoor gas grill. He was responsive and we resolved the issue immediately. We surf fished all week and were successful in catching pompono, bluefish and Whiting even though we never surf fished once in our life. Go to Vero Tackle and Watersports in town for all you need for a first timer or seasoned vet. We were set up with everything we needed for the week and were not disappointed with the service. Truly a memorable Christmas and New Year. Thank you Anthony.

Graduation gift trip
Large house. Plenty of seating areas. With only 5 of us we only utilized the bedrooms and the kitchen/ family room.Kitchen is fully stocked. Pool/ patio was well appointed. Plenty of pool floaty and sand toys. More seating areas. Property is in need of some TLC, but nothing that interrupted my stay. The only down side for me was there weren’t any stairs leading to the beach. It was difficult to get back up the sand dune. Neighborhood and beach were very quiet. There is a guarded beach down a bit so we could see the flags which made me comfortable entering the water.

Oceanfront, Pool, great kitchen
After reading the previous review we were a bit concerned but that review was mean spirited and inaccurate. We arrived a bit early and the garbage from the previous renters had been not picked up and by the amount of garbage cans that were full they must have really either done some big partying or had a lot of people in the house.The owner was just finishing repairing damages from the previous renters he was so sincere in his apologies and finished the repairs and left us to enjoy the home. We loved the proximity of the ocean and the pool is literally right outside the kitchen door, very convenient. There are TV's in almost every room and the furniture is so comfortable. Lots of outdoor furniture and tables for dining.Tons of towels etc. and the kitchen is very well stocked. We rent lots of homes and we found this home to be better stocked, by far, than most. Also of note: the kitchen drawers and their contents were very clean, many rentals have dirty pots and pans, dishes etc., not so here. Nice surprise! This is an older home with a few quirks but has all the charm one would expect. Our main objective was a home right on the ocean with a pool and marvelous location and this home fits the bill. The owners are extremely gracious, incredibly helpful and did all they could to make our stay lovely.
