Had an amazing 2 night stay here in late March of 2026. Our family of five: Mom, Dad, 14yr old kiddo plus Aunt and Uncle all had plenty of room. Great open floorplan. Loved the kitchen and living room. Loved the patio by the pool. Weather didn’t cooperate with us so we didn’t use the pool much but overall, a great family retreat.
This property was great! Jeremy is a great host too. We visited to attend our nephew's high school graduation. We had 6 people in our party. The house is spacious, well laid out. and very comfortable. It was very clean. Internet and WiFi was very easy to access. We loved the pool! We appreciated being able to use the very nice gas grill and enjoyed it as well. The property is located in a very nice area and conveniently located close to grocery, fast food and other shopping places. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to the area.
We stayed at this lovely home two days before we set sail out of Port Canaveral. It was a great space. Close to the port and restaurants. Few miles from shopping and the beach. We enjoyed sitting by the pool eating and talking. Beds were not as soft as we like, but still no complaints! Great host. We enjoyed our stay.
The weather wasn’t great for the pool but my kids didn’t care! They whole heartedly used the pool every available opportunity! Absolutely love that there’s tvs in each bedroom! Any questions were answered very quickly and check in/out was very easy and communicated effectively! So thankful to have stayed here! Would definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay here. While we didn't use the pool, we spent hours everyday just sitting and reading and relaxing at the pool. Very nice getaway!
Stayed at this property for two days after getting off a cruise. Property is as advertised and we really enjoyed the pool. The property is close to the cruise port as well as other restaurants in the area. Communication with the host was great, and they even left us a bottle of wine for the adults and a bottle of sparkling juice for the kids! There were ample beach towels to use as well as extra towels and linens. Overall the property is very clean and well maintained!
We stayed at this property in May while visiting the area to attend my nephew's high school graduation. We loved the house and the area so much, we decided to come back for our family vacation. This house is perfect for a family. We had seven people, including two teenagers. We had plenty of room. . We all enjoyed the pool but the kids practically lived in the pool. It is very well maintained and very refreshing on a very hot July Florida day. The enclosure around the pool helps keep the pool clean too, keeps out the debris. Even with seven people we had plenty of room. This house is laid out very well with a living room, two dining areas and a gathering area by the pool.There are two full bathrooms a nicely equipped kitchen and a laundry room.We have stayed at many vacation rental properties in our travels and this is by far the nicest and best equipped. The location is perfect too. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby. It is less than a hours drive into either Orlando or Daytona. Jeremy is absolutely the MOST WONDERFUL host we've ever had. He is easy to communicate with and very easy to work with. He is very concerned about your comfort. I think this is a great value and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We are already planning to stay here again on our next trip to the area.
Great house. Perfect size for our group. The pool was enjoyable and the boys used it every day. The neighborhood was quiet and when we did see the neighbors, they were very nice. The owner answered any questions quickly and made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, great experience!
Happiness its the name for our experience with this property. A perfect pool with a cool house makes this place just perfect for family vacations. The house has everything to be confy and more. Totally recommend it!
The property was just as it was listed. We loved our stay and the house fit all of our needs. My boys loved the pool! Jeremy was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcomed. He helped me out if a jam where VRBO double booked a house that we had previously rented and he allowed us to book last minute and made our stay a pleasant experience. I highly recommend renting this house and renting from Jeremy!
Before we when arrived, Jeremy was working on our mini-vacation. He asked us questions, gave us some ideas, and treated us like family. He replied every time we had a question, before and during our stay. We will definitely be using this host and property, again. Thank you so much!!
We had a wonderful stay for two nights at this property and enjoyed it so much. It was a pre-cruise stay for 3 couples all coming from different places to then enjoy a cruise. Jeremy made sure we had everything we needed and was a delight to communicate with. We so enjoyed the space and the pool!! We got groceries and cooked during our stay and found everything we needed to do so. The home was very easy to find and close to everything the area has to offer.
We highly recommend this property and hope to stay again when we get a chance!
We stayed here for 1 week and fully enjoyed our stay! We come to Florida/Cocoa Beach area every year after Hockey season to unwind and warm up enough to get us through Spring in the Mid West (North Dakota 🥶). This house was perfect for my family of 5! The kids loved the pool and the fun lights for night swimming, they used it daily! The location was ideal for us; close drive to the beach, Canaveral, Orlando, and the Brevard Zoo, in a nice quiet neighborhood with Publix and Starbucks close by! We loved the area and felt right at home! Check in was so so easy and communication was 100% quality! This house is a 5/5 and would definitely stay again! Thank you for our stay!
This is a great large space. Owner very friendly. Good location. On the negative side, the home is in desperate need of updates. I’m guessing its a 60 yr old home that has never been updated with exception of bedrooms. Cleanliness just okay. A lot of details missed. Would have been nice to have a pool heat option. House has tremendous potential.
Potential to be a great place but missed the mark.
Lighting is from 60’ - 70’s and needs to be updated.
*Front porch light did no illuminate walkway and driveway. Uneven stonework walk way and fall hazard.
*Pool lights did not work. Contacted manager and told they would be fixed in 2 - 3 days. Not done.
*Remote controller lost. Contacted manager and told he may have to replace. Not done. Light to dim evenings/nights to use living room. Sat in kitchen.
*Both toilets stopped working about 11:30 pm. Texted manager. Told he did not have plumber/emergency contact to fix. Back-up in showers. I finally got it working after 3+ hours. After I was working on problem and did not have my phone did recieve text that he could call someone. I was in middle of “stuff” and did not see text toll next morning. I cleaned and sanitized everything.
*Two smoke detectors started chirping (life) but with plumbing issues and smoke detectors chirping I do not believe there is proper preventative maintenance.
*Nice area and close to attractions. Would not stay again.

The renting process was easy to do. The owner Jeremy was very friendly and helpful. The house was clean and comfortable. The pool was clean and fun. We had everything in the house that was needed. Jeremy was helpful in letting us know places to eat and things to do close by.
Property was nice and relaxing. Quiet and clean neighborhood. Kids really enjoy the pool. It was nice having a washer and dryer to wash clothes from coming off the beaches. Would definitely come back and stay here.
