This house was amazing! We loved everything about it. Bruce was available any time to answer any questions that we had. We saw dolphins swim past the dock daily and even one night saw manatees. The birds that fly by the property are absolutely beautiful. You could also fish right from the dock. This house is close to many restaurants and activities. There is a lot of fun things to do close by. Just a short drive over to Cocoa Beach to enjoy the beach, mini golf ,great restaurants and shops. We visited the Kennedy Space Center, the Bravard Zoo and my husband and son got a fishing charter near by. This was a fantastic vacation.

We had a great time. It would be great for larger parties. Nice Pool and hot tub facing the water. Enjoy the panoramic view of fire works going off on the mainland. We could see 1000's of them.

We loved staying in this home. We got to see the launch right in the backyard and watched the hawks each day at their nests. The home was huge, beautiful, and clean. The owners are very kind and go out of their way to help and make you feel comfortable.

Place was immaculate. Excellent location. Was disappointed at no tv in 3rd bedroom. Also the electronics were a bit difficult for 70 plus year old schoolers to navigate.
Overall had an enjoyable week.

The home is elegant. It faces the river/mainland with water views from every room. It's a split-level featuring a dramatic entry leading up to the living/dininig areas and down to a fully-equipped party room with two of the three bedrooms and massive projection TV. Out back is an inground pool, tanning beds and a private boat dock (rented separately). The home is beautifully furnished but (in my opinion) isn't set up to accomodate small children or rowdy teenagers. There's a instruction booklet for the appliances, etc. The host/owner is responsive to questions,

Bruce was great to work with and was quick to answer any questions. The house is immaculate and very roomy. The house being a "smart home" made it easy. We had fun movie nights each night in the game room.
It's a beautiful view from the pool overlooking the lagoon. It's also nice that the pool has a hot tub on one end. We managed to spot a few dolphins while we were there!
Overall I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a low-key and luxurious getaway!

My husband & I had a wonderful time here. The house is perfect! It’s very well appointed, quiet, and comfortable. We really enjoyed seeing dolphins from the patio, watching hawks build a nest, and just reconnecting to nature. Bruce is an excellent host! I highly recommend this property & we hope to return again soon.

My husband and I stayed for 8 nights and had two other couples stay with us for 3 nights. The space is great. We used the pool/spa area, watched a movie on the huge screen, played games on the game table and thoroughly enjoyed all the property had to offer. Watching the rocket launches and the baby hawk being fed by the parents were other fun experiences.
The owner was helpful with a few of our questions with quick replies.
We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful house. Amazing view where we could watch the dolphins in the back yard. Wonderful pool where you can swim, enjoy the ocean view and then hop into the connecting hot tub. It was a well supplied house with amenities above and beyond what I would normally expect. This was a fairytale getaway.
However, I would not recommend bringing small children. There was beautiful art, wood side tables, a nice pool table and a lovely piano. An active child could cost a person a lot to replace the expensive pieces.

Where to start?! This was by far one of our best vrbo stays.The owner was super attentive and easily accessible from the onset. He went beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The home is beautifully decorated and well cared for. The beds are super comfortable!!! The location--- wow--the views are so spectacular. Sunset was my favorite time of day. The home is well stocked with cookware and towels and linens.
We mostly enjoyed the hot tub and the pool, day and night and loved being able to fish some from the dock. We even got to see manatees and a pod of porpoises up close, which thrilled the kids.
To cap it off we were able to see the Starlink Rocket launches from Cape Canerveral and the satellites floating by.
We are so grateful for this stay and it was just over top luxury all together.
Tip: Read the instructions. I hadnt printed them out ahead of time, and wish I had. The house has top of line appliances tvs etc and you'll consult those instructions often.
It was such a great trip. We would love to go back in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The home is beautiful, the pool overlooks the water and is so relaxing! Everything from check in, to the home features and amenities and communication with the host were perfect! The beds are super comfy! We enjoyed coffee on the various patios overlooking the pool and water. The balcony off the master is screened in which was great! Everything about the house was grand! It was so spacious, well appointed and loved all the touches of art throughout the house! The technology was top notch with surround sound, large TV’s, Alexa and the ability to operate those things with ease! We watched countless dolphins playing near the pier and watched some amazing storms roll in over the water. The host really put a lot of thought into all the details which made it very comfortable and inviting. The house is very well cared for, clean and the area is very quiet. We loved making new memories here and can’t wait to come back and stay again!
