Our multigenerational family has vacationed in Florida each summer for the past ten years— Rosemary Beach, Anna Maria Island, Cocoa Beach. We always rent a large house —important criteria: at least 5 bedrooms, 4-5 bathrooms, and a pool. During the past week, our two children, their spouses, and my husband and I all agree— this is our favorite of all the VRBOs we’ve rented. The early morning sunrise with the dolphins on the porch swing at the end of the LONG dock, the grand piano, the comfy beds, the Captains lookout at the top of a winding staircase, lounging around the pool while our grandkids swam to their hearts content —-our 8-year old grandson Henry caught his first catfish off the dock. We weren’t sure we wanted to book a house more than a block or two from the beach, but Cape Canaveral National Seashore is an easy ten or fifteen minute drive down 1A—- virtually no traffic and no crowds to maneuver through! Playa Linda is now our favorite Florida beach— clean and pristine. Add to all this, we saw not one but three rocket launches from remarkable vantage points: the dock and the upstairs balcony. By far our happiest and most relaxing vacation.

A perfect place to stay. Seen dolphins, manatees, stingrays and jelly fish all from our dock.

It was nice.

We had a group of friends stay all weekend and were also able to have a group come in for 50th birthday party on the pool deck one of the days. Everyone had a blast and Larry was a great host. We look forward to visiting again.

Enjoyed our stay. House was clean, well stocked and worked great for our group. Larry was very helpful. Great view of three rocket launches.

Spectacular views from the house, over the Indian River with the Cape Kennedy missile complex in the distance. Great sunrises. The house is very interesting, with more bedrooms than the four of us needed. A lot of attention to detail in the construction with pie plate ceilings and rounded corners; it was built by Larry in 2009. The backyard spa and pool are very nice, and Larry is readily available for any help you may need.

Stunning waterfront views and gorgeous yard and dock, however a number of window and exterior door headers have severe water damage. Flooring in dining room has been warped due to water damage and a number of switches do not work. The carbon monoxide sensor went off a couple of times and the host came to correct. The front bedroom has a gas water heater in the closet that seemed to be leaking though as there was a smell of gas in that room on the last night. The pool also had several water fountain features that were broken. The showers are single person and the purple tub could not be stopped up to bath the kids. The beds are rock hard also. This could be a really awesome property with some additional TLC. We will not rebook this location.

The owner, doesn’t do the scheduling himself, was not expecting us. He had contractors doing work on the property. He was expecting us the next day. I did have a VERY HARD time getting the lady that does his booking to add our whole stay to the calendar. I paid extra for air mattresses that were not delivered till the second night. So when people that were going to use them had the impression there was nothing for them to sleep on when they came in the middle of the night. They ended up getting a hotel room in the middle of the night and didn’t stay the whole time. So I do feel like we were over charged for the air mattresses. We were thrilled about the rocked launch !!! We enjoyed the kayaks and walking the pier. We saw dolphins and stingrays. Larry brought us ice. Very nice. I was not pleased when I showed up and Larry didn’t know that the heated pool was already paid for. He was telling my brother he could pay him cash to heat the pool. The hot tub does need a safety rail for everyone to enjoy it. My parents and I were unable to get in and out safely. The home itself is Amazing as far as space for all ten of us. I am disappointed the air mattress weren’t visible the first night and that I paid for people to stay and ultimately they left when we didn’t know. I also live in Florida, so I understand about water damage and everything. My parents don’t, so they were worried water going to come in because of the damage on the wall facing the water.
