Improve your outlook on your next vacation! Tired of the hassle of trailering and then launching your boat EVERY TIME you want to go fishing? Then spend a weekend, a week or more at our vacation home and relax! Just walk out to your boat, hop in and take off! We are located directly on the west shore of the Indian River intracoastal waterway across from Sebastian Inlet, a world renown saltwater fishing destination!
In coming to Sebastian, choose wisely. You want to be where the inlet is for quick access to the ocean. Our house is just 2 miles south of the Inlet and 1/8 mile south of the City boat ramp.
No boat? No worries!! There's plenty to do or not do. Just relax in the shade on our dock and do some fishing. Catch snook, redfish, trout, and much more in the grass flats right off the end of the dock!
Not a fisherman? No problem there either! You can sit on our porch or lay in the hammock just steps from the Waterway where you can enjoy the river breeze and observe such wildlife as dolphins, manatees, osprey, bald eagles, cranes, pelicans and much more or just watch the never ending parade of boats go by. Take a trip to Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. The Sebastian Inlet has some of the best surfing in Florida. Swim, snorkel or sun on our unspoiled natural beaches. No high rises here!
Enjoy a spectacular morning sunrise on the Indian River from the foot of your bed or right on our back porch! From our home, you won't see any roads with traffic, concrete high rises, bridges or other unnatural structures to spoil the view. Just water, wildlife and natural Florida fauna. In addition, make sure your vacation home choice does not have you driving everywhere. All of the river front restaurants and parks are within walking distance. There's a pet park, City park, free kids water park, public boat ramp and 2 City fishing piers just steps outside our front door. The City park hosts arts and crafts shows many weekends throughout the year.
For July 4th, it just doesn't get any better than our location. July 4th festivities include a parade down Indian River Drive (same street the house is on), art and craft show in the Park and fireworks at night on the island DIRECTLY across from our dock! The view is absolutely incredible! People drive for miles to see what is just outside our door.
Want to jog, walk or bike with a view of the water? Then enjoy our 4 mile Riverwalk. This walk takes you along Indian River Drive and the entire river front of the City proper. Riverwalk park also has free Friday night concerts in the park the first six months of the year. We love to grab a lawn chair, head on over and relax with a wonderful evening of music. Of course, there's the Sebastian Inlet with it's unspoiled beaches and State parks which is a short drive or boat ride away. No concrete jungle here, just fabulous Florida as it used to be. So bring the entire family. Pets are welcome too!
The house itself has plenty of amenities. We have 3 large flat screen TV's, DVDs, Playstation 2, internet, Sealy mattresses in every room, state of the art kitchen, free laundry room, poker table, bumper pool table, full array of board games and much more! You won't find a cleaner more comfortable place! We know you will enjoy our home and the City of Sebastian as much as we do. It truly is one of a kind! Reserve your time now!

I have to say, this home in Sabastian provided us a wonderful 2 week vacation. The town of Sebastian is a true gem on the treasure coast of FL! This beautiful home is located right on the river where we saw dolphin swimming each and every day. We caught fish off the dock, walked to the park and restaurants, observed birds and reptiles and simply relaxed for the 2 week experience. I recommend calling on Captain Eric (Skipper Charters out of Captain Hirams) to give you a tour of the inlet and a fishing experience. We will definitely return. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in this gem of a town!

Property is in an excellent location, close to boardwalk/restaurants. Everything was nice and clean, had everything we needed. Kids had a great time, even had several board games and was able to get them to unplug and play the old fashioned way! We would definitely stay here again and strongly recommend to others.

This is the second year we have stayed at this lovely home in Sebastian. We were again delighted with the serenity and beauty the location provides. Each morning and evening we are blessed with a spectacular sunrise and sunset respectfully. There is a family of dolphins that provide us company as we kayak around this lovely area. We highly recommend this home.
Owner response:Perfect guests, left the home clean and well taken care of. We welcome them back anytime!

Florida at it's finest. This is by far the finest VRBO property I've ever stayed in for the money. The house is immaculate and the location is unbeatable. The dock is within steps of your back porch or out of the Master bedroom. Words just can't describe how nice this place is. A bike ride away from a fresh produce stand that's right down the street. Fine dining at Captain Hiram's or kick back at their Sand Bar less than a 1/2 mile to the North. It's a florida dream vacation home and the owners are the best you could ask for. Be sure and take advantage of the kayaks that come with the house, there are islands less than 200 yards off shore to explore and party. It's truly paradise !
Owner response:Perfect guests.... Jeff and his friends took good care of the home, cleaned up well before they left, and we welcome them back anytime!

We were very impressed with the beauty and serenity the location provided. The owners description along with the pictures of the home, are quite accurate. Although to experience the breeze off the lagoon, the sunrise and sunsets, the jumping fish, kayaking, all of the warmth this home provides yourself, is truly a joy. The area is quaint and provides a casual and friendly atmosphere. We didn't want to leave which means we definitely want to come back:-) We highly recommend this rental!
Owner response:Perfect guests! Thanks again, and welcome back anytime!

The home was great! The place is really pretty, clean and quiet. We loved your landscaping and the dock and the view is beautiful. Sebastian is a nice small town and we loved the riverwalk. Captain Hiram's has great fish and oysters on the half shell. We even cooked seafood at the home. We went straight to the house with the directions given and had no trouble getting in. The best thing was getting out of the Indiana cold! Highly recommend it and hope to get back sometime.
Owner response:A true pleasure...Linda took great care of the home, and we are looking forward too have her and her family stay again. Thanks!
