Enjoyed the stay and the area was great! Anthony was very helpful and accommodating.

If you read through the other reviews going back 2 years, and ignore "wildcards" that seem inconsistent - you have a proper understanding of what to expect. For context, I generally have high expectations for properties, and this fits within the ball park of my expectations for the cost. For us (parents with young kids), this was all about location and convenience (private pool, ocean view & access, nearly private beach) in a great area (Indian River Shores; A+) and a short drive (5 min) from restaurants/shops, & things to do. All of that was great (A+) and exceeded my expectations. Downsides? While well furnished, and everything was in working order and generally clean, the wear and tear on the property is all pretty evident and can be nit-picked variously, depending on your inclination. Family room, TV, Internet, kitchen appliances, beds, towels... all fine, no problems or issues there. Surprisingly, no extras (no beach umbrella, beach toys, etc... we left ours, so hopefully they'll be there in the future). There is still construction happening on the adjacent (south) property which overlooks the pool. We knew about it ahead of time because we asked the owner and he was forthcoming (see bing maps; google doesn't have it on there yet). He noted that he didn't expect exterior work, but there was moderate exterior work during our stay, weekdays primarily 9am - 1pm. Not terrible, but it was a bit more than we expected. I'd rent it again.

Nice property, plenty of room for me and my wife, our two kids, their spouses and our 3 grandkids. We had a great week and enjoyed our stay very much.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. The home is reminiscent of a coastal Tuscan Villa. Upon entry, the formal living room boasts a beautiful Steinway Grand player piano. The formal Dining room has a wet bar. The bedrooms are spacious with a split floor plan with the master with king bed and another guest suite with two full beds. Another bedroom across the hall had a king bed. All bedrooms had their own attached bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped with proper cooking supplies. Outside their was a large pool and built in grill. There is construction going on next door but it did not affect us at all. There is a nice lawn behind the home. The yard is not fully fenced in - we brought a gate from home to close off a small staircase off the back of the patio to keep our dog contained. The beach access is a little tricky … there are no stairs - you have to walk down a sand dune. It could be tricky for someone with mobility issues. We had the beach mostly to ourselves - it was nice and wide ( unfortunately had seaweed while we were there ). There is a public beach area with a life guard not too far down the beach for visitors with children. The property is a quick 10 minute ride to the shops and restaurants in beachside Vero Beach.

Great location - close to Main Street and shops. Nice pool/beach.

The property was immaculate. Everything that you would need for a lovely vacation was located in the house. Private and quiet.

The house itself was amazing, large but cozy. The beach on the other hand was disappointing. There were too many seaweeds and the waves were very strong. My young kids were a little afraid of the water. We ended up staying in the pool most of the time and venture to other surrounding areas. Overall, this house is a must for large family with kids. We will definitely be back again, hopefully next time there is no seaweed on the beach.

We stay in a different area every year, and this was by far one of our favorites. The house was beautiful and we greatly enjoyed ourselves. We only left the house to go to the grocery store, had everything we needed right there!! The cons were that we didn't realize the construction was literally on the other side of the pool, so we had construction workers watching us all day and LOUD noise from 7 am - 5 pm. It might have just been worse our week since they were working on the wall by the pool. Also, when we arrived the pool bottom was pretty dirty ( didn't stop us one bit though... ha ha ) Wish we would've known ahead of time what days the landscapers and pool lady were coming, we were getting ready to get in pool as she came to clean pool on our last full day and we couldn't use the pool for 2 hours. The day the landscapers came wasn't a big deal, but we would have planned our day differently. Overall our stay was FANTASTIC and the home is beautiful and being able to walk to the beach at any time is priceless.

We had a great time! Nothing better than an Ocean in your backyard. House was great and the owners were very courteous. The pool was nice too. We will definitely return.

Gorgeous

My family and I enjoyed our stay immensely and plan to return! In spite of minor dated household items needing attention, or the construction noise going on next door, this do not disrupt or deter us from our enjoyment of this lovely home, it’s location or property. The host/owner was very responsive and helpful to any of our questions. Thank you Anthony for family memories we will never forget!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and the location was perfect. An Italian villa right on the beach with a beautiful yard and pool, but high enough up from the beach that it was private. Anthony was a gracious host and all the logistics went great. There is a fairly large construction project next door but it didn't negatively impact our stay. Thank you Anthony!

This property was everything we were looking for in a family gathering. An ocean view from practically the entire home, huge outdoor patio with a pool and plenty of outdoor furniture to relax. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need and each bedroom had its own private bath. Beautiful landscaping greets you upon entering the property and the owner, Anthony is dog friendly. What more can you want? The home does need some TLC in some areas as mentioned in previous reviews but this did not matter to us and had no impact on our enjoyment. Also, there is new home construction next door which did add some noise during the day but that's life and no fault of the homeowner Anthony who we did contact on one occasion to troubleshoot the outdoor gas grill. He was responsive and we resolved the issue immediately. We surf fished all week and were successful in catching pompono, bluefish and Whiting even though we never surf fished once in our life. Go to Vero Tackle and Watersports in town for all you need for a first timer or seasoned vet. We were set up with everything we needed for the week and were not disappointed with the service. Truly a memorable Christmas and New Year. Thank you Anthony.

Exactly as advertised and Anthony was a great host. Hated to leave.

Large house. Plenty of seating areas. With only 5 of us we only utilized the bedrooms and the kitchen/ family room.Kitchen is fully stocked. Pool/ patio was well appointed. Plenty of pool floaty and sand toys. More seating areas. Property is in need of some TLC, but nothing that interrupted my stay. The only down side for me was there weren’t any stairs leading to the beach. It was difficult to get back up the sand dune. Neighborhood and beach were very quiet. There is a guarded beach down a bit so we could see the flags which made me comfortable entering the water.

Would definitely stay again. Owner was very accommodating and good to work with. House was stocked with tons of towels and anything you needed to prepare meals with.

Was perfect for our group of 10 along with tons of privacy.

After reading the previous review we were a bit concerned but that review was mean spirited and inaccurate. We arrived a bit early and the garbage from the previous renters had been not picked up and by the amount of garbage cans that were full they must have really either done some big partying or had a lot of people in the house.The owner was just finishing repairing damages from the previous renters he was so sincere in his apologies and finished the repairs and left us to enjoy the home. We loved the proximity of the ocean and the pool is literally right outside the kitchen door, very convenient. There are TV's in almost every room and the furniture is so comfortable. Lots of outdoor furniture and tables for dining.Tons of towels etc. and the kitchen is very well stocked. We rent lots of homes and we found this home to be better stocked, by far, than most. Also of note: the kitchen drawers and their contents were very clean, many rentals have dirty pots and pans, dishes etc., not so here. Nice surprise! This is an older home with a few quirks but has all the charm one would expect. Our main objective was a home right on the ocean with a pool and marvelous location and this home fits the bill. The owners are extremely gracious, incredibly helpful and did all they could to make our stay lovely.

We were so excited the house look in good shape in the pictures but they are so old we can tell right when you enter, the house was dirty it has a strong drain smell in the bathrooms that extend through the house it was just dury everywhere but worst of all they have bug beds and cockroachs and the doors are so old it's hard to get them open , we couldn't use the garage it was full of stuff and the pool had beer bottles from previous renters and lots of sand.

Amaizing!

Property managers were delightful and very responsive.

Anthony was such delight to work with. And his home on the beach.... and I mean right on the beach was a treat. My husband and I stayed for two weeks and it was a great trip.

Great spot

The property is fabulously located right on the beach and minutes from the charming village of Vero Beach. The property itself has some ocean-related wear and tear and the owner addressed a few things right away that made the entire time an awesome experience. We won't be back because we loved the ares so much we bought a condo!

great location, walk to beach and nice neighborhood. great way to spend a month on the beach i florida

Best pool, yard and out door furnishings ever. Most perfect beach front with just a few feet to the unblemished beautiful sandy beach and perfect beach swimming. Can walk on the beach which has limited access for miles in either direction. Owners are great. Beautifulhouse but somewhat aged. Unlimited beach sized towels was a great plus . Bring your own bathroom soap and paper towels . Enjoyed our stay very much . Just a few miles to town , restaurants etc.

Loved the beach, privacy and property - worked out perfectly for our group and small dog. Pros - beach, pool, yard, kitchen amenities, owner communicationCons - cleaning crew could have done a better job prior to arrival. Some may say the house decor is "dated" but we came to be outside and enjoyed every second of it. I would stay here again.

My family just had a wonderful week at this gorgeous home. We snorkeled out to the nearby reef, walked the beach, went scuba diving with Deep 6 Divers, and fishing on the Indian River Lagoon with JustBumminIt charters. The house is elegant yet very comfortable. The pool is perfect for a family with children. We would recommend this property very highly.

We had a relaxing trip. The outside area is large. The inside is elegant and comfortable.

Elegant yet comfortable, this property is just perfect. Having stayed here so often, we genuinely feel as though it is ours. Anthony ensures every need is met.

This home is wonderful. Right on the ocean, with its own pool and a short drive to downtown Vero with dining and shopping. The home itself is updated with a terrific gourmet kitchen. Anthony is a gracious host who checked in regularly to make sure our stay was going well. Highly recommended.

My family has rented several properties through the years and this Beachfront paradise was the best yet! From the rental inquiry process to booking the property, checking in and checking out all of my dealings with the homeowner were timely, effective and pleasurable. Anthony is an outstanding host who was immediately accessible and attentive to all of our needs. The home is beautiful from all perspectives, both the indoor and outdoor spaces are spacious, comfortable and perfect for entertaining. The location of the home, right on the beach at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac gave us the privacy we needed but was also close to shops and restaurants in town although we never wanted to leave! The home lacked for nothing, the kitchen contained all of the appliances, glassware, dish ware, cookware and utensils one could ever need plus there were abundant linens, bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs and pool toys for our use and enjoyment. If you are looking for a tranquil get away and want to stay in a beautifully decorated home in an idyllic location then look no further, this is the property for you.
