About this house rental

AQUA COTTAGE

Aqua Cottage is a classic 1950’s Florida beachside community cottage home with a cool retro Florida feel (terrazzo floors and funky 1950’s color bathroom tiles), which has been updated and refreshed with stylish and comfortable modern touches to create a cozy vintage-meets-modern, east-meets-west, beachy vibe. It is the closest home to the beautiful tropical lifeguarded white sand beaches and sparkling waters at Vero Beach's acclaimed South Beach Park!

The home is fun for family members of all ages and generations. While the home is certainly no mansion, two story Aqua Cottage offers several good size spaces for everyone to gather together to eat, drink or play, and separate indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy.

Aqua Cottage has 3 bedrooms (1 King Ensuite upstairs, 1 King Bedroom and 1 Double Twin with Trundle Bedroom downstairs), 2 full bathrooms, several good size living and dining spaces, and full size appliances in the kitchen. The home is literally the closest home to South Beach Park, which offers easy beach access just steps from the front door. Take the beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach cart provided at Aqua Cottage, walk across the street and onto the boardwalk through the mangroves to the beautiful white sand beaches at South Beach Park!

Don't worry, the house is kid and pet friendly!

LOGGERHEAD, GREEN and LEATHERBACK, OH MY!

Vero Beach is one of the most important sea turtle nesting sites in North America. The beaches near Aqua Cottage are popular nesting sites for several species of sea turtles, including loggerhead, green and leatherback.

There are steps that you can take to help us protect these magnificent creatures. During Turtle Nesting Season (March 1st to October 31st): never approach nesting or hatching turtles, never walk on or disturb turtle nests (they look like sand mounds and are often taped off and labeled with orange tape), and use only red light flashlights if walking on the beach at night.

SpaceX and NASA rocket launches are often visible from the beach or yard at Aqua Cottage. Check calendars for launch dates and times.

My friend and I were on a girl’s trip and stayed for two days. The property was so clean and comfortable and steps from the beach. They had everything we needed for relaxing beach days and comfy sleeps. If we’re ever in Vero Beach again we’ll definitely be back!

Great property. The house had all the things you might need while on a trip. Beach toys, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, the works. The beach wagon with the huge wheels was so awesome! Beds were comfortable, ac worked great, tvs were good. And the beach across the street was just what we wanted. If you are looking for a great beach house right across from the beach, this is a great spot.

This stay was an excellent retreat from the usual touristy and crowded areas. The beach was just a short walk away—less than 3 minutes to reach the water. The place had more than enough appliances, including an abundance of plastic, ceramic, and glass plates, cups, and utensils. All the beach accessories you might need were provided: umbrellas, chairs, toys, boogie boards, and towels. Our vacation consisted of 4 adults, 3 children, and 1 dog, and we found the accommodations perfect for our group. The owner was quick to respond to messages and was very professional when checking in to see how things were going. The neighborhood was quiet. Publix is a 6-minute drive away, and there is a 7-Eleven just a couple of blocks away. There are also a few local restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely be coming back.

If you like the beach this property is in a great location short walk to the beach which clean and quite even for 4th of July weekend was not crowded. You don't need to bring anything very well equipped with everything for the beach . Also the kitchen has everything you need. The house is old Florida style and also the furniture and decor , so if you expect modern this is not for you. Property manager Chris responded to our questions right away. Overall we had a good time

The house is well appointed and is in a great location. Love all the beach and recreation items provided-- chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, bicycles, etc. Home is lovely, but interior could use a coat of paint and the couch covers need replacing, they're a little dirty. White probably isn't the best choice, LOL. The kitchen is basic but fine, though the outside of the refrigerator is pretty dirty, and some parts seemed to be missing on the inside (covers for storage areas)-- a new fridge would be nice. The property manager is AMAZING! Quick response to everything we needed, from replacing a dribbling shower head ASAP to getting the cable TV up and running. I can't say enough about how communicative and gracious they are. We would 100% stay here again!

This is a wonderful beach cottage. Even though is older, it was immaculate! One of the cleanest and well appointed VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Easy walk across the street to the State Beach which is beautiful. Close to everything Vero Beach has to offer, plus our pup was welcomed! Highly Recommend!
