Amazing Stay

House was very comfortable and offered all amenities you would need and then some. The pool and game room were a great bonus. The house had an amazing layout with several areas to lounge and relax - indoors, outdoors/covered, indoors/screened, or wading in the pool. The fenced yard worked great for our pup who stayed entertained all day. The house is also very central to everything in the area, including KSC, Orlando, Cocoa Beach, and more. Host was great - very welcoming, hospitable, and communicative. Can’t wait to come back.

Truly a hidden gem.

Our 2 week stay was a slice of paradise. Our family came for a few days and the kids ( 14, 10, 8) truly loved the pool.Location close to the beach and we even got to see a rocket launch not once but twice. Home was very clean, well stocked and the hiccups we had were taken care of quickly. Thank you Brian! We hope to be back sometime.

Relaxing time with family

We all enjoyed our stay. Hosts are very responsive and helpful. The house had everything we needed to just sit back and relax poolside for a few days. Great location and very quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Great place!

We stayed here for a few nights so we could visit the Kennedy Space Center, which is approximately 15 minutes away. The house/backyard is perfect for hanging out and relaxing. The kids absolutely loved the pool! Brian was quick to respond to messages. We'd stay here again if ever in the area!

Perfect stay for our family! The home was clean and well cared for. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool and outdoor areas! Great communication with the host who was quick to respond to questions, had left a pack n play for us to use, and set up a safety gate around the pool as we had two young children staying. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Family Staycation

We had a wonderful time, enjoying the back yard and pool. Very peaceful and quiet. We will definitely be back for a longer stay! The waterfall was very relaxing.Such a beautiful home and yard. Brian was very quick to answer all of my questions, and they had everything needed to have a great time. Game room was a blast. My 2 year old grandson just laughed and laughed watching grandpa dunk the basketball. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we made some great memories.

Fun Family Rental

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. Of course the pool was a hit! We loved having access to the grill and made burgers our first night. The second day was rainy and my kids had no problem being entertained with all the games in the garage. We had a great ping pong tournament! Also, we were very happy with how comfortable the beds were. The host was great and available to answer any questions I had. We’d love to come back and stay again sometime.

Perfect getaway!

We loved everything about our stay except… the weather! This house was exceptionally clean and cozy. We loved the big sectional where our family of 5 hung out a lot due to the chilly weather. The host was beyond accommodating. Communication is superior. You will not be disappointed choosing this beautiful home. *pool is not heated if you were hoping to swim in chillier weather
