I came down with my family for a wedding in Vero Beach. We could not have been happier with our accommodations. House was fabulous! Super clean, very welcoming. Location was perfect, private beach magnificent can’t say enough good things.
Our stay was WONDERFUL!!!

This Vero property is worth a repeat visit. The house was very clean. My grandson who just graduated from HS wanted to spend time with the family before heading off to college. The location is close to the beach, which the kids loved. We all enjoyed the stay. The owners are on standby with whatever you need. We had a little issue come up; I texted the owner he was there in less than 10 min. I can go on and on...

The house was clean and well stocked with pretty much anything you would need - beach gear, games, linens, houseware items.
The description of the beach access made it appear as if the private beach access was in close proximity to the home but in fact is across the roadway in a separate complex. It is a short walk but my daughter was injured prior to our trip so i was a little concerned with her having to navigate the traffic on the roadway to get across the street on a crutch. We were able to do it ok but it was unexpected.
I would recommend insect repellant as there were sand fleas/mites on the beach.
Overall we had an enjoyable stay and the hosts were attentive and accommodating
8.0
Overall we were very satisfied with our stay. The house is in a great location (only a few min walk to the beach) and having the private beach access was great. Hardly anyone was around us all week. The house looks recently re-done and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out when needed.
My only concerns and only reason why I didn't list as 5-stars. 1) The provided beach chairs, beach cart, etc was great to have however they weren't in the greatest condition. Chairs were rusted and the cart was use-able but almost rusted apart. 2) Biggest concern was the plumbing, specifically the downstairs. Something major was happening there as the downstairs shower flooded a few times and I also witnessed water "back flowing" into the shower itself when someone upstairs would run water or flush a toilet upstairs. Only way to make the bathroom downstairs not flood was to wait for everyone upstairs to shower and clean up before we could use the downstairs shower which was a little inconvenient when coming off the beach.
The owners were very responsive when needed so i'm sure they'll get this fixed but wanted to mention on the review as it did impact our stay. They did come by one time to clean out the drain but that didn't seem to fix anything.

We had such a great time staying here! The location could not be better—just a short 5 min walk to a very private beach. The deck with lush tropical plants all around was so relaxing. We loved every minute! Perfect for a large group and very kid friendly.

There were 4 of us and we had a great time. We were impressed with the house itself as well as the location. The beds were comfortable, including the pillows which is important to me. There were very nice areas outside both upstairs and downstairs to hang out outside. The house was very clean and well laid out. The location was perfect! We also found the Riverside Theatre where we attended an awesome comedy club and they have free live music every weekend. We also enjoyed a great music concert at the Summer Crush Winery in Fort Pierce. I highly recommend both.
We would love to stay here again when in the area. Thank you for the great hospitality!

My husband and I live in Vero Beach and we booked the property for family/guests (young adults) who were coming for the Easter weekend. The location is lovely: on a sand and shell-lined street across the street from the beach. There is a little putting green on the property that they enjoyed, as well. The property is two units with separate/private entrances (3 bedrooms up and one down), which I did not understand when I booked, but it worked for our group. The upstairs has an especially bright and happy feel, with large windows around the back wall of the kitchen and large wood deck off the kitchen. Because the unit is surrounded by mature trees, it feels like being perched in an aerie. Beautiful. While we did not have time to get to the beach, the large basket of rolled beach towels was very thoughtful! The homeowners are fastidious about cleanliness -- bathrooms and the entire property was spotless when our guests arrived. We look forward to booking again for our family and friends.

House was perfect location for what we needed to gather for Christmas. Perfect setup with the separate apartment downstairs for my parents. Plenty of space and owner was very accommodating and communicated well. Even though it was cold still walked to beach and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and area of Vero Beach. Had a great time.

The room at the bottom of the outside stairs was great for our guest who brought his dog. Lots of beach erosion and limited beach access due to recent hurricane, but still beautiful!

Very relaxing. Plenty of room. Short walk to non crowded beach. Had everything we needed.
Gravel roads, mature trees/foliage and unique houses a nice alternative to manicured, regulated condo complexes.

Weekend getaway
We were a family group , the bedrooms worked out great with the grandparents staying in the ground floor apartment. The kitchen was sunny and well stocked, there was plenty of space everywhere. The walk to the beach was down and short road and over A1A. There was a wagon on property that helped with taking chairs and coolers down to the beach. We also rented a pontoon boat in Sebastian, I recommend that for a great family activity. I would recommend this for a nice beach stay!

Basecamp
This was a great property for my large family to use as a “base camp” during an even larger family gathering in Vero Beach. The kitchen was very well appointed which was very helpful for food prep. The living space was clean and comfortable. We appreciated the abundance of bath & beach towels. Access to the beach was super easy. My only observation for improvement would be a sleeper-sofa in first floor space to allow for 1-2 more guests.

Great Location; Not Well Maintained or Accurately Described
My husband and I are local to the area but we booked this property because we had family coming to town and weren’t able to accommodate them ourselves. The rental was okay, but the property could use some attention from the owners. The location was perfect, and the check-in process was easy. There were a some things we were not satisfied with:
1. There wasn’t any dish soap or laundry detergent despite the property having a full kitchen and washing machine and dryer. There also wasn’t any extra toilet paper, and only a few trash bags which we ran out of. I ended up running home to get toilet paper, trash bags, laundry detergent, and dish soap; but for someone that is visiting from out of town and not able to do that, they would need to go to the store to buy those things.
2. The wood deck is rotting because it doesn’t appear to be treated lumber. It’s a beautiful area, but we didn’t really feel comfortable using the space for that reason.
3. There were some items that were not well taken care of. Examples include: rusted beach chairs, rusted bike chains on the bikes, rusted can opener in the kitchen (made it very difficult to use), rust on washing machine (where softener is added), and a golfball size hole in the flooring downstairs between the bedroom and living room.
4. Kitchen Issues: There isn’t a garbage disposal which was inconvenient. The dishwasher’s heated dry did not work, and it was not bolted into the wall so the weight of the rack being pulled out would cause it to lean forward. The wine cooler did not work…temperature in the 70s and 80s.
5. The recycling bin was full when we arrived and remained full our entire stay. I believe this was because whenever the property owner/manager came to wheel them to the street, it was not facing the correct direction and therefore was not picked up.
Given the choice, we probably would not book this property again.

Beach vacation with friends
The house was very clean and check-in was super simple. We were disappointed to see that the beach was not “down at the end of the street” from the house, you had to cross a very busy A1A and that’s not easy with 4 small children. The house had a lot of space for the kids to run around but it was missing some basic things such as extra trash bags, cleaning supplies and even kitchen utensils. Also, the furniture in one of the rooms had two broken headboards which was ugly and didn’t represent what we saw in the listing photos. The house had plenty of extra beach towels, a wagon for the beach and even fishing polls. All in all, we had a good stay at the property and made great memories with our friends.

Great Beach Stay
All information was available when selecting best place for family beach vacation. Plenty of room for kids and grandkids to stay. Private beach entrance was awesome and everyone was so nice. We did sunrise every morning and crabing at night. House was perfect! Thank you!!!

Great Beach, No Crowds
We loved this vacation house and area. For our family, beach access and a quiet beach where you can have your own space are super important, and this area delivered. The house was spacious, there is an apartment downstairs for privacy if you have two groups, but easy to mix if you want. We had an issue first night with AC, the owner had someone over that night, no other issues. Street was gravel/unpaved but that was not an issue for us, there are many similar streets in the area. The only concern the house was advertised as having a fenced yard, and the front was fenced, but the back was heavy vegetation and I did not feel we could see a secure enough fence to leave our dog loose in the yard. Sebastian and Vero Beach had all we needed for dining out. Quiet, beautiful area.

Everything you want in a rental!
We were pleasantly surprised with this property. Layout of both the upstairs and downstairs were great! Clean and stocked with everything you'll need to prepare for family meals if you choose to eat in. Outdoor spaces were lovely too! Quiet area. Very tropical and a short walk to the beach. While you must cross A1A, it's really not a busy road. There are stairs down to the beach. Hosts were very communicative and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay

Family of 7 with 2 pups....
Omg this house was perfect for our family get together. The location was perfect with a private beach just steps away. The owners have made our stay so much fun. They have thought of everything from a fire pit to putt putt golf and especially a large kitchen and a beautiful large outdoor deck where we all hung out everyday. We never ran out of beach towels or bath towels. This cute place kept everyone busy and we were never bored. Our 2 pups really enjoyed the dog friendly beach as well. We even did a hiking trail with our pups which was really nice just right down the road called Captain Forster Hammock Preserve. We enjoyed cooking and grilling every night of our stay. We will definitely come back again in the future. Thank you John & Patricia for opening your home to our family..

Summer Place/Sand Dollar
We really enjoyed our stay and found the property well appointed and very clean. It was great to have access to beach towels, bikes and beach chairs. The property owners were very communicative and responsive to our unique special needs during our vacation.
The great feature of this location, while it is on the East Riverside, it is a short walk to the private beach and to the grill/grocery store.

Wonderful vacation
My wife, 2 adult children and their spouses thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and the accommodations. The house was very clean, and the host was very easy to reach. Everything that really mattered was excellent. The only things that could have been improved to fit our expectations was the outside areas with the fire pit and putting green. This area, in my opinion needed some help, plus the fence was down between the courtyard and the neighbor which was not attractive at all. I’m sure the fence will be replaced which will help. The beach was easy to access and the owner had everything we needed from chairs to a cart to roll all of our stuff the sand. We didn’t realize we had to cross the main 2 lane road to access the beach though. Still not bad, just thought it was going to be a little different. We would definitely return to this house if we vacation in that area again and I recommend this place.

Charming beach house
A nicely renovated rustic house real close to the beach. We didn’t realize the 4th bedroom was in separate living quarters on the ground floor but it worked well for my daughter and son in law. Very private with lots of woods. This house has been recently updated with a nice beach vibe but neighborhood in transition.

Good place to get away for a few days
The location of the property was great, a very short walk to the beach. The layout of the house was different from what I was expecting, because the stairs were outside that connected the living quarters. Living room, one bedroom, bathroom and small kitchen downstairs. Downstairs kitchen not equipped with anything. 3 bedrooms, bathrooms, and large kitchen upstairs were updated. Deck needs to be replaced. Overall we were satisfied with our stay.

Beautiful private beach
We had a very lovely stay at this property. The beds are very comfortable and we enjoyed being able to stream our shows on the TVs. The walk to the beach is very short and the beach was so private which we loved! We also appreciated the wagon to pull all of our stuff. Thanks for a great vacation!

Private Piece of Paradise
We had the most enjoyable time at the property for a family member’s wedding! Love the separate entrances - worked out great having multiple households! The location is unmatched!!!! The kitchen is stunning and the open floor plan was great for us to all catch up and hangout! Our literally only teeny tiny complaint is the bit of deception that the only “green” on the lot is the putting green… so, although we love the house being dog friendly, pups had to get used to going on shells and in brush!

Beautiful location for a tropical vacation! Loved the overgrown "jungle" that surrounded the property, even the second floor balcony in the back was surround by trees and vines. You really felt like you were somewhere else away from it all. The walk to the beach is very quick and there were hardly any people on the beach for the whole time we were there. You really have privacy and the beach is very clean because of the minimal public beach access. And the beach cart was the BEST for getting everything to the beach! This house was a perfect size for our entire party, everything we needed was at our disposal. We cooked a lot and we were prepared for that. The kitchen had all the items we needed.Everyone in our group did not want to leave!! The views at the beach were absolutely amazing, such nice blue water, you really felt like you were in the Caribbean. Wonderful stay, we will definitely book this location again!
