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.
