2 week stay

We were lucky to have found this property for our 10 night stay. We were surprised by several rocket launches during our stay. Elon himself doesnt have a better seat as the home is perfect for viewing the launches. Everything was as listed and the host was very helpful on .info.

First-Rate House

This is a beautiful house that is well-decorated, clean, and roomy. The details are amazing, from the quality of the cookware, plates, glasses and cutlery to the numerous appliances (waffle-maker, juicer and panini press just to name three). There were ample towels of high quality with plenty of extras (even beach towels!). The pool area had enough seating for all of us. This is a first-rate home with a beautiful view (we saw 2 rocket launches from the pool area!) that presented exactly as advertised.The communication with the property manager was truly outstanding.

The View! The Pool! Awesome!

We did a long weekend so my mother -in-law from Michigan could meet her 4 great grandchildren. We spent most of the time in the beautiful pool and wonderful hot tub. Also kept busy watching a rocket launch and paddle boarding right out back. While paddle boarding we came across dolphins and manatees. So great we were able to bring our 4 legged friends for the adventure. Didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen was exceptionally stocked! Beautiful home in a good location!

Spring Break '23

We had a great time with family friends! Bob was on top of everything. Any issues that popped up, he tried to deal with immediately. There was a dolphin friend that graced us with it's presence every morning between 10:30-11a.m. Heard playful Manatees snorting and splashing at night. Saw 2 launches from Cape Canaveral, a 3-D printed rocket & a shuttle, right from the lanai! Great location. Easy little jaunt to Kennedy Space Center & Cocoa Beach. Two grocery stores within 5 min. And only 40 min back to Orlando for Airport, and a waterpark day. Great way to escape the end of our Wisconsin Winter.

Space vacation

Fabulous house for our space vacation. Easy 20 minute drive to KSC, and we cannot believe our luck getting to watch a night launch from this amazing location. The house is directly across the Indian River from the SpaceX (non-manned) launch pad— what a terrific view of the launch- truly incredible. House was immaculate and provided plenty of comfortable beds for 2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 tweens, & 1 teen. We all enjoyed the views of sunrises & wildlife. We put the house binoculars to good use helping us identify many birds, incl ospreys, great blue herons, green herons, egrets, ibis, pelicans, seagulls, etc. we were surprised that dolphins swim up the river and fish in the water right in front of the pool. Kids loved the pool and pool toys provided, & the veranda is a wonderful place to relax. There were plenty of seats for all. Location is easy access from airport, and we visited the Winn-Dixie across the street & Publix a mile away. We did the 20 minute drive to check out Cocoa Beach via public beach access (rough water), and manatee viewing at nearby Manatee Cove Park was fun. Our host, Bob, was not only responsive, but graciously hospitable as well. House is well stocked. We would definitely stay again.

Misrepresentation

The intent of my post is not to disparage this rental or the owner, but rather provide an honest review. I begin by giving kudos to the property management company for their quick responses and efforts to address the many issues my family encountered. I engaged in a ridiculous amount of communication with them daily. Eventually, it was revealed that my rental week had followed on the heels of an unauthorized party. The unfortunate result was extensive damage, some of which was not discovered or able to be totally fixed before we arrived. To be fair, not all of the complaints that we had were the direct result of the house party. It was obvious that this rental had already been in need of attention and repairs both inside and out. I'm choosing not to enumerate all of the issues as this would serve no purpose. To our dismay, the expectations we had from the reviews and numerous photos of the property did NOT match the reality.

Room to roam with great views of shuttle launches and dolphins!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Large enough for us to spread out with no waiting for bathrooms or showers in the mornings. The communication with the manager is superb. The house is in a good location especially if you want to view shuttle launches, which we were lucky enough to see 2 of them during our stay. The pool table is a great addition and was used frequently. The sunrises here are amazing and very picturesque. We loved that it is on the water and quite often could watch the dolphins in front of the house as they hunted! I The pool and hot tub are both very nice, although the pool water was just a tad on the cold side, but you get used to it very quickly. The lanai is so cool and we spent most of our time out there. The pool toys supplied are a nice touch. The manager went above and beyond our expectations for special requests that we had and I cant say enough how much I appreciate that. Top notch! The only downside is (and its really not that big of a deal) is that the highway in front of the house is busy and traffic can be very loud at times, however wouldn't keep me from staying here again. The property however is somewhat secluded and we really appreciated that. There are plenty of trees on and around the property and we never seen or heard the neighbors to the north. The grocery store is right across the street which is SUPER convenient, especially with large families. Overall this is one of the nicest properties we have rented!

Perfect Celebration House w Rocket View!

The house was perfect for our family to all gather and do a birthday celebration weekend. Plenty of sleeping options, plus several sitting and conversation areas. The pool patio and water view was a favorite for sure. We were very fortunate to have a front row view to enjoy the Falcon Rocket Launch. Amazing Weekend!
