Very clean and spacious home with a great layout for our family of 5. The owner was very easy to communicate with. Our girls loved the pool which was at a very comfortable temperature despite being unheated (this was in August when it was very hot). The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, but there are shopping areas just a few minutes away. We would have preferred window coverings on the large windows overlooking the back yard for added privacy - this was the only negative for us. This would not prevent us from returning though, it is a lovely home and we enjoyed our stay.

The home has a great spacious floor plan for families with elementary school aged children. The owners have furnished it with high quality sheets, dishware and furnishings (not Ikea) the level at which I would personally use if I had a vacation home. There's a large dining table both inside and outside where my wife and I enjoyed working remotely. House rules are reasonable, no shoes inside the house, before you leave take the trash out, start the laundry & dishwasher. The location is in a quiet neighborhood great for relaxation. Three miles away on Malabar near I-95 are grocery stores, restaurants, banks and a cluster of WalMart, Home Depot & Lowes side by side. All appliances, A/C and fixtures worked as expected with exception of the refrigerator which unfortunately lead to some spoiled food & milk after our first night. Things happen, but what impressed me was how the owners were very empathetic and responsive. They explained that ordering another fridge takes days to be delivered which I know having recently bought one myself. So instead they had their property manager deliver a large mini-fridge within 30 minutes after our text late into in the evening and compensated us fairly for the lost food and trouble. My wife was hesitant to get a location without a heated pool, but what we discovered is in the heat and humidity of Florida you don't need it. It's not Arizona or Palm Springs where we definitely need a heated pool because it's a dry heat. When the time comes for another VRBO stay in Palm Bay, I would definitely return.

The house was very nice. But there was no ice maker. And it would be nice to have a heated pool

Nice Family Home.
