The house was great. 6 of us stayed after a cruise. There is lots of space and the views are wonderful. We saw dolphins, manatees and many birds. There was a wagon with chairs and an umbrella and a cooler to take to the beach which we took advantage of. The location can’t be beat!

We loved this home so much! It was very spacious and had a cool retro vibe. The views were awesome and we loved sitting outside fishing, reading or just watching the wildlife and sunsets.

Wonderful stay

The house was spotless on arrival, had all the amenities needed in the kitchen. The pool was nice. We were able to see both dolphins and manatee in the waters next to the house which was a great added treat. Plenty of room and a great location. The beach is close enough to walk. We were also able to see a space launch while we were there. We would definitely stay here again.

Tremendous views on this waterfront property

This property would be hard to beat for wanting to be close to the water system and see lots of wildlife. Dolphins, manatees, and jellyfish swam by daily and we saw so many varieties of birds. Cocoa Beach is just a quick 5 minute walk. The Space Coast has a lot to offer and our family had a fantastic time. We’ll be back!!

A nice place, right on the river!

We really enjoyed our stay. The place could use some updating for sure but it’s clean, comfortable and provides all you need. There were trash bags, dishwasher/laundry detergent, dryer sheets, toilet paper. Beautiful location on the Banana River! Like so many others, we saw dolphins, manatees and other wildlife right outside the kitchen door. Saw 2 rocket launches as well. We’ll be back!

Just Perfect!!

Best stay we have ever had! The home was spotless, had everything we needed and more! The location is amazing, canal on two sides of the home where we saw dolphins, manatees and enjoyed fishing everyday. Short walk to the beach, restaurants, and convenient stores. Communication with the property manager Cindy, was easy and she was so quick to respond to any questions we had. Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful River Views

This place on was very clean, nicely laid out, and had beautiful river views, which allowed us to see dolphins and manatees swimming by. We briefly had a double birthday celebration during our Saturday, and a couple of them mentioned they might want to rent it. We considered it a tremendous place, very clean, and had great views of the river throughout the major rooms.

Family vacation

The highlight was seeing the dolphins every day. Sheets on the king size beds didn’t fit properly and came off each night. WiFi didn’t work for us. Pool is solar heated, but not warm enough to swim in, in December. Overall good time spent with family.

Love It

This house had an amazing vintage feel to it. Don't change anything. We watched dolphins and manatee's off the back porch every morning. The walk to the beach is just long enough to knock off most of the sand by the time you get home. Host was very helpful with any questions we had and had everything ready to go for us when we arrived. Do recomend this place for anyone who has kids that are able to swim and don't have to be watched too closely while out back.

Get away b4 cruising

Location was excellent. House layout is quirky but ok. We have stayed in numerous vrbos and every one EXCEPT this one had a grill so shame on me for assuming and not reading every thing on listing. Kitchen utensils lacking as well. Disappointed kids since no burgers and dogs. As usual we made the best of it.

Idyllic home for both wildlife spotting and for beach, restaurants and live music.

The word ‘idyllic’ is used a lot but it truly applies to this property on the Banana River. You can sit outside and enjoy a panoramic view in all directions seeing manatees, dolphins, herons and pelicans. Yet it is less than a 15 minute walk to the beach and to downtown Cocoa. This area has a multitude of bars, restaurants and shops. Live music in many places. The house is very clean and comfortable. Lots of large glass windows allow you to be inside and still enjoy the views of the Banana River. Quick and helpful responses from management company. Great communicators. We rented it over New Years and loved it so much that we returned 10 days later for another 5 night stay.
