My family had a wonderful time at this truly beautiful property. We had high hopes going in, and it exceeded expectations. From the excellent communication with Cindy to the spotless rooms with high-end finishes to the house being stocked with everything we could possibly want (and then some!), we couldn't have asked for anything more. We even were lucky enough to see a rocket launch right from the backyard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone!
What an amazing place. Aside from all the amenities, our Host Cindy was always available for any question, and made everything effortless. She was wonderful. This home home is paradise. Luxurious and cozy. We did not need to leave anywhere as there was plenty to do in the property. We played tennis, kayak, Enjoyed the pool, as well as hours fishing with the kids. For an extra treat, we were lucky to see a spaceX rocket launch from the comfort of the deck. We will definitely return, and we highly recommend this vacation home to anyone.
I can't say enough about how amazing our experience was at this gorgeous home on Merritt Island. The photos don't do it justice...the home was immaculate, the check-in process was seamless, the communication with the host, Cindy, was second-to-none, and the amenities were plentiful, to say the least.
The home is beautifully decorated and had a "home away from home" feel. The beds and linens are high-quality and comfortable, the bedrooms are spacious with excellent views from each. We were fortunate enough to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in the home, and the kitchen was perfect for cooking such a large meal. Cindy provided every appliance and serving dish you can think of. There is plenty of room for dining, so everyone can spread out.
The outdoor activities are incredible, from tennis/pickleball to kayaking, yard games, pool/hot tub & sauna, fishing on the dock...you name it! Cindy even provided bicycles of all sizes for the kids and adults. There are plenty of activities in the house for rainy days and evenings, including air hockey, pool/billiards, and board games.
The location is perfect, situated between Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral.
Thank you again, Cindy, for an incredible experience!
Cindy's property was absolutely stunning and by far the best place we've ever stayed in! The place was spotless and decorated beautifully. Our favorite part was the incredible VIEW. Waking up to such beautiful, serene water every morning felt like we were living in a dream and made us want to stay even longer! Getting to enjoy our coffee every morning on the private dock was such a treat. Cindy, you were so helpful and great to communicate with. I couldn't recommend this property enough and can't wait to come back.
I feel pictures don't do justice. There is this wow factor when you enter the house and tour it. It's like it has so many rooms to discover and every one of them with exquisite coastal decor and an amazing view! They greeted us with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and our family name on it, so special! There were so many things to do inside the house for both children and adults, impossible to get bored. The host is very responsive and has a detailed house book and like the other reviewer said, the house is well appointed. And everything is so calm in this little island, makes you forget about the busy world we live in. We even got to see a family of dolphins from the dock! I just wish we had more days to enjoy it. We will definitely visit again!
We had a fantastic stay. This house has one of the most vacation-y feeling environments you could hope for. Cindy was a great host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and be available for issues.
The master bathroom feels like you've entered a spa at a hotel/salon. There's a double skylight shining down on a large tub and a sofa. The master bedroom was spacious and all the secondary bedrooms were too (king-sized mattresses). Amazingly all the mattresses were comfortable, too.
The house was very well-stocked. The river is right outside for a great view and we were able to view two launches from Cape Canaveral. The pool was beautiful and very comfortably warm for swimming. They supplied lots of things for the beach and there so many games to play which was really fun. We also enjoyed playing tennis too.
No place is perfect and we did have 2 clogged toilets. But Cindy sent a plumber promptly and will be replacing one of them. Also, the guesthouse had a fumy smell. The humidifier kind of helped, but didn’t remove it completely. Since we had a small party, we ended up not using the guesthouse at all.
A thing to watch out for are the red ants on the deck. Cindy did provide ant spray and so we sprayed the piles but they would move the next day to another spot. We were careful not to stand in one place for too long (and monitor for ants when sitting).
But, these were minor quibbles for what was a great stay and a highly recommended home.
