About this cottage rental

Close to downtown Melbourne and the beaches and approximately an hour to Orlando theme parks and Cape Canaveral, this cottage faces the Indian River Lagoon where dolphins cruise, schools of fish swim, and birds hang out. Sit on the deck, enjoying your favorite beverage, while gentle breezes come off the Atlantic or have lunch on the outdoor eating area under the oaks. Light and airy, the cottage is open floor plan with a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bath. Washer/dryer is onsite.

Please note the cottage is on our property. You'll walk by our home to get to the cottage, which is closer to the river. Note: We can't see into the cottage, can't see you when you're on the deck, and protect your privacy (unless you need us). Some of our guests prefer it that way and many will engage us if we're outside. We do have 2 rescue beagles who are on leash in the backyard. They like 'pets'; please feel free to respond to their requests!

While there is a dock on the site, it is not available to guests at this time.

This location allowed for three days of pure relaxation and escape from stressful life style - watching the Indian River, enjoying a fine breeze, and feeling all is good. Everything we needed is there - Just brought food and drink, and personal items. The screened porch and the deck provided a quiet, relaxed time. Host and hostess are friendly. And we saw and heard two SpaceX launches from a distance! If we could give it a 5+++ we would.

This was a very peaceful spot. We really enjoyed watching all the wildlife, pelicans, cranes, dolphins, etc. Being so close to the water was a plus, we even did a little fishing and caught a few things. The sunrises and sunset were perfect to watch also. We will be back for sure.

Over all the house is in a good location far enough away from the train track so that you don’t hear it with windows closed. They have two Bassett hounds between the main house and the VRBO unit. There is a fraternity house that is relatively close which seems to only party on weekend nights and the music ended around 10pm. Your unit is located approximately 200 feet from the driveway behind the main house overlooking the bay. I had only one issue with the unit. I’m 6,2” tall and the shower head is placed about 5’5” high in the shower. This is fixable and wouldn’t stop me from coming back.

The cottage was nicer than the pictures. The weather was much colder than we had hoped for our 40th anniversary celebration getaway so we spent a lot more the in the cozy than planned. The views of the Indian River were spectacular. We had a wonderful time there. The hostess even had a beautiful bouquet of flowers for us when we arrived. We had quick easy access to nice restaurants, shopping and the beach

I can't say enough about how happy we were to find this gem of a spot! Me, my husband, our son & our dog felt right at home! The cottage was quaint, calm, peaceful & tucked away along the Indian River; the view is just what we needed - to wake up to Spanish moss & beautiful sunrises right outside the door! The bed was cozy, the view is to die for, the entire place is perfect for the folks looking for a romantic spot and/or *quiet* small family getaway. The bird watching opportunities were a bonus! Our hosts Marcy & Hugh were extremely responsive and accommodating and being happy dog people with their own friendly pups, we were over the moon to be able to bring our dog Josie with us. This was our first trip, but it surely will not be our last!

Open layout cottage is perfect for a couple, and the river views were amazing. Though the dock was not accessible due to storm damage, the view of the river from the living room, back porch, and enclosed side porch were beautiful. We brought in food from nearby restaurants, but the kitchen is spacious and well equipped with tools if you want to cook. We had colder than usual temps after sundown, but cottage stayed warm and quiet with the sliding glass doors shut and mini-split heater taking off the chill. Owners were non-obtrusive and thoughtful (texted where to find stashed blankets if needed!). Highly recommend, and hope to stay there again.
