Great house on the canal
This house was too big for 2 of us but our son and family lived 7 minutes away so we all enjoyed hanging out on the porch and dock. Saw lots of dolphins and manatees out the back door. So close you could almost touch them. Grandkids enjoyed fishing. Private, clean and comfortable. Definitely will do again.

Great Place to Stay
The home was clean and well maintained. Everything you need was available plus some. Robert was great with communication and provided lots of information for places to eat, where to see things we were looking for. Seeing manatees, birds and jumping fish in the canal behind the house was a bonus too. Check in/out was easy. I would definitely stay here again if I go back to the area.

Cocoa Beach vacation
The house was very spacious and had lots of amenities. They had beach gear(chairs, umbrella and cart) which was really nice. They also had a few kayaks which we used to paddle the channel and river where we saw dolphins and manatees. We were able to fish off the dock with the fishing poles they had which was super cool. The back deck area is so nice to sit and watch all the wildlife. We had 3 manatee sightings right off the dock. The house is located in a nice convenient part of town and super peaceful. All the stuff to cook meals and love the added washer and dryers for speeding up cleanup after a day at the beach. Would highly recommend this house for your next vacation to the area.

The Merritt Island house was great for our family of 5. Plenty of room. We enjoyed coffee on the back porch. From the boat dock we saw dolphins in the river. We enjoyed the KSC and the nearby parks.

Great location and accommodations
It’s an older home but well maintained, clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the dock in the back where we saw birds, a manatee and dolphins in the distance. The owner was accessible and responsive to the few questions we had. Very satisfied.

Blissful peace
This location was amazing! It is so beautiful and peaceful that my wife and I just felt the stress melt away. The house is cute and a great layout, it is starting to need a little updating. We could sit on the porch every morning and watch the birds, squirrels, jumping fish and dolphins while we had breakfast. In the evening there is a Great Blue Heron that visits and hangs out with you. Cant wait to visit again!

Enjoyed the stay. Would stay again. Clean and spacious. Only issue was no hot water. Couldn't get the pilot light on the water heater to ignite. Could not reach the owner but got a friend to fix it. Owner apologized. Was out of town and having communication problems.

Relaxing and Homey
We needed some R and R while moving locally and this home delivered. Very relaxing and peaceful. Had everything we needed. however some hand soap and small bars of bath soap in the bathrooms to get us started would have been a nice touch. The owner was very responsive to our needs and we enjoyed our stay overall:)

Clean, family friendly property
We loved this home, it was spacious, clean, accessible and safe. The owner had easy to follow rules and had plenty of towels, blankets, and home comforts. Our only complaint was that the thermostat could not be lowered to our desired temperature, but that’s not a deal breaker. The home was perfect for what we needed

We arrived to find a spotlessly clean, well-appointed home. Within an hour of our arrival we saw a manatee off the dock and later that evening, two dolphins! The house was exactly as advertised and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.
