Exquisite New Mediterranean Beach House Boat Trip and More!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
Fell in love with the spectacular beach , so close to the intra coastal waterway. Beauty of general area, clean and sunny, water sports, boating, wildlife. The safety of the town makes it unique: one of the few pristine beaches where you can still sleep with your windows open, seldom lock your doors and walk the beach alone feeling safe.
No traffic, no pollution, no high risers, friendly people. Close to any activity one may love, yet quiet, private and peaceful. Unbeatable quality of life.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We provide a captained dolphin and manatee sighting boat trip or a fishing boat trip for up to 5 people at cost of misc. expenses ($75.oo). Wildlife abounds for observation in our beautiful waterways.
Unparalleled quality of life!
Fabulous neighbors
Private, peaceful, yet close to everything the beach town has to offer
shops, hotels, restaurants, banks, financial services, post office, etc
Main room rental for meetings, events Gardens for community activities, annual Barbecue Post Office
Beautiful recreation park with Tennis Club, Racquetball, jogging trails under hundred year old Live Oak trees, Museum of Art and great Theatre, boat ramps and more.

Our two young sons wanted to return to "Maria's house"; how could we say no. The house is beautiful, immaculately kept, and located on a quiet residential street so you can have a truly relaxing vacation. The beach is right there and the landscaping alone makes it feel like paradise. Bob and Maria are wonderful hosts. We'll be back!

Our family spent two weeks at this home this past summer. It was the most fun and relaxing vacaton we have ever had. The house is located in Vero Beach literally steps away from the beach. There are many nearby grocery stores, malls, outlet stores etc. The pictures shown on this website DO NOT do the house justice. This home is even more BEAUTIFUL in person. This house is stunning from the inside and out with a great pool, landscaping and beautiful art pieces--many painted by Maria's mom. The house was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. It was extremely comforting to know that the house is Category 4 hurricane proof! The owners, Bob and Maria are two of the nicest people we have ever met. They were extremely knowledgable and hospitable. It was a pleasure meeting them and some of their family members. Although there was plenty to do at the house (i.e. bikes, kayaks, boat trips etc.) there are so many near by activities you can do as well. Bob took us on a boat trip one day and the kids were able to fish and swim, they had the best time. We were also able to do many day trips such as Sea Word, Universal, Andretti thrill park etc. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone who wants to have a fun and relaxing vacation! We hope to one day be able to stay at this home again. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and the great memories!

Maria and Bob made our stay as welcome as you would if you had family you liked staying with you. The house was beautiful, with lush tropical plants and privacy all around the outside pool. The home was immaculate and the setting was peaceful and about 30 seconds from the beach along a private walkway. Everything was perfect. The home included everything you needed for the beach. Bikes for riding along the private roads in Vero , floats for the ocean and pool, kayaks , beach chairs and things you always forget to bring. This was a most perfect vacation complete with the information about places to eat and golf. Thank you Bob and Maria for a perfect vacation. Carl & Tami

We had a great time at this property. The house was very comfortable, and of perfect size for our family of five. The pool/backyard setting was perfect as well. The beach is so close, just a short walk down a little path. Quiet and clean beach, beautiful water. All the umbrellas, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc you need are right there. NIce little outdoor showers for showering off the sand are in the backyard, too. The kids enjoyed seeing lots of lizards, and land crabs (big and dark blue-gray), and even bunnies, lots of bunnies! We took the boat trip with Bob & Maria, and that was very enjoyable. A must-do if you stay at this property.

My Husband, 1-year old daughter and I stayed at this beach house in April 2011. We were so fortunate to stay for the entire month. What a wonderful retreat. We actually have family in Florida so it was the perfect location to throw a birthday party for our toddler who turned one during our stay. The owners were so wonderful and warm and available any time we had a need arise. They provided not only a crib but a high chair as well. Being able to go between the pool at the house and 50 steps to the beach at our leisure was a wonderful option with a toddler. I highly recommend this property for those looking to experience a beach community getaway. Thank you Maria & Bob- we hope to be back in Vero some day.

This was our second 3 month rental at this home in the winter. Just can't get any better than this. We have already rented for next year and can't imagine going anywhere else. Perfect home owners, perfect cleaning staff and perfect weather. Bob and Maria are just the best ever. We look forward to another great winter next year. It's hard to leave and we can't wait for January to come to get back.

I spent 4 days here with my family and had the best time I have ever had in Florida, and I have been to Florida several times, with less desirable results. The owners were so accommodating and nice. It was a great time!! Thank-you so much!! Scott Mynatt

We are from Colorado and wanted beach and pool. The beach was fifty steps, and the pool three, out any door of this wonderful private home. This house was lovely and easily accomodated my family of eight on our vacation. A nice ranch style set up, this house allows for easy access to the pool from all rooms, wonderful greenery and feels like your own private resort. The house has every ammenity imaginable, and the owners are sooooo wonderful and accomodating. We had a tough time leaving, and wanted to move in.....I guess we will have to settle for a speedy return....... We will definitely be back and rent from the same owner again. We can't say enough good things.

What can we say? We have been renting homes all around the country through VRBO for many years and this home goes right to the top of our list! The home is beautiful - plenty of room, furnished with many great momentos from Bob and maria's travels and beautiful art pieces painted by Maria's mother Flo. The grounds are private and surrounded by well tended foliage - the veranda (where we spent much of our time for morning coffee and evening meals fixed on the easy to use gas barbecue) has lots of comfortable sturdy outdoor furniture. The welcoming beach is literally 30 seconds out the back door! And an evening stroll wading in the warm surf with the nearly full moon shining has created a memory for us we'll never forget! Captain Bob couldn't have been a better captain on our tour of the intracoastal waterway. Learned much about the areas history and we did find the sometimes elusive manatee that Jan went swimming with.....then we moved to the dolphin show in the lagoon - and what a show it was. Bob said he found them especially for us but somehow I think he does the same for all their guests. If I sound effusive it's because I fully intend to be. This was one of the best experiences we've had and want to thank Maria for her gentle smiling kindness, Bob for his warmth and equally gentle spirit, and Flo for letting Jan share conversations in Spanish. Highest recommendations from us - if you go you can't possibly be disappointed in any way. 10 out of 10 from us!

Inflatable Beach Ball $2.99 Fresh Ahi Tuna for 6 $34.72 A vacation in this house Priceless Our 3 generation family has vacationed together every summer for 18 years – our little boys are now young professionals. We all agree this was the best one yet. The house is amazing – but the outside space is even better. The sparkling pool is in the sun all day and the well furnished lanai is always shaded. The beach is steps away and unbelievably quiet. You are close to everything, but the property is very private. We had always rented a vacation home through an agency and were a bit concerned about renting directly from owners. Our experience with Maria and Bob has taught us otherwise. The house is so much nicer and cleaner than any property we had ever rented. Maria and Bob are grand hosts and the property is even better than advertised. Choose this house for your next vacation – you will be glad you did. We were.
