Merritt Island Rental

The location worked great for us as it was very easy to get to the beach, Kennedy Space Center, restaurants and shopping. The house fit our needs perfectly and we were all impressed with how thoughtfully it was outfitted. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and cooler for our beach days. The back yard was so nice to just relax in after a long day of "touristing".

Delightful well equipped little house

We were staying 2 nights before a cruise out of Port Canaveral. It was PERFECT! It's not a big house, but it met our needs. The property was VERY well supplied. Beds were very comfortable. Location is convenient. Good communication with the host. We would stay again

Perfect quaint home for a family trip

We loved this home, the cleanliness and thoughtfulness of the hosts. We had everything we needed and then some, from irons and hairdryers to high end samples and amenity products. They clearly really care and value the experience of their guests. We frequent this area often and will definitely be staying here again if their booking schedule allows.

Lovely Home

This is my third time staying at this property. We have 3 dogs and they love it there! One of my dogs would probably stay out in the back yard all day if she could. The host has been easy to get ahold of also.

The owner goes over the top

We truly enjoyed our stay at the very well appointed hidden gem. The owner had decorated for the holidays and had so many extras throughout the house, which made it really fun. The house was clean, updated and had very comfortable beds. We will be back.

Perfect for our needs

Stayed here for a family event in Merritt Island, Florida and it was absolutely perfect. We were greeted with a kind note from the owner and a bottle of sparkling wine on the dining table. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean and neat. I enjoyed the small details like professional hair products (shampoo, conditioner) in the showers. We stayed a week. Conveniently located.

Perfect NASA Hub

We booked this house so that Family could all comfortably stay an extended weekend and head to Kennedy Space Center. This house was PERFECT. Exactly as described, easy and surprisingly quite location, near anything you would need, short drive to Kennedy Space Center and lots of room. That backyard went unexplored as it rained, but it was spacious. House was well stocked with everything you would expect and more. We plan to book here again when we travel back down to the area. 5 out of 5.

The best stocked house we’ve stayed in

Virtually every detail was well thought out at Lee’s property. Very comfy beds and seating. You can tell Lee put a lot of thought and care into this property. I can say anything negative about her selections or her communication. The area was central to our needs on the mainland and at the beach. We were happy with that as well. The only thing I would point out is that the home is in a bit of a mixed use area, business’ are next door and across the st. That said we would absolutely rent this property again with no hesitation! Lee was awesome to work with!

Perfect place for a family or couples

This was perfect for our small vacation on Merritt Island. It was so close to everything! Whether you needed something at the grocery store, the local Starbucks or midnight snack at a fast food joint, it was within a short walk and less than a minute drive. However, the house was pleasantly equipped with all the subtle details and necessities one could possibly think of. From extra shampoo, body wash, to hair gel and even butter! Most places are completely bare so you have to go out and buy EVERYTHING (even salt and pepper) to cook anything, but they even had spices which made it nice. Beds were comfortable and the area was quiet! Short distance to beaches, Kennedy Space Center and so much more. Would definitely recommend this place.
