  I was fortunate to be able to escape the cold winter of the Northeast and find a perfect getaway for my family, me and especially our 2 dogs. Vero Beach is truly a wonderful place to visit and am surprised more people have not discovered it. We especially loved walking in the beachside downtown area with all the shops and dining. The was evereything we could have wanted for a perfect beach getaway. The house is spacious, bright and clean. It allows for easy access to the outdoors, pool and beach. The sunroom also lets you feel the outside and listen to the beach from the comfort of inside. The beach is great. It is very clean, wide and private. Our dogs have never been happier as they were during thier numerous walks and paytime. We especially liked the Gazebo and the newly installed hot tub for our evening "Happy Hours". The owners live nearby and are very helpful and responsive to their guests. We look forward to making a return visit in the near future.

  We were guests of my nephew and niece who rented the house for the first week of April. We enjoyed meeting and visiting the owner, however; we wish we could have met him after we were there a few days rather than on the first day. I would have personally given him a tour of what needed better upkeep. The carpet upstairs was dirty (as in trash) on the floor, the bathroom was not stocked with any wash cloths, the beds were saggy and the closet was half full of the previous owners' clothes. Master closet was the same. The Florida room, although spacious, had a dirty sofa and love seat--sand and shells between and behind cushions and the chairs at the breakfast table were filthy. My sister-in-law had to wash all the baking pans before she could set about her planned baking. The garage was a trash heap that was scary to look at. We only opened the door to see if there was a closet or something needed for the utility room. The pool toys were in an even scarier location. I would like to be employed as the cleaning company--what an easy job they have! Come in, wash a few dishes if any, wash the sheets, make the beds and leave. My nephew will be renting for a week for the next 4 years BUT we will look elsewhere next year.

  Owner response: First of all, I met a couple of hours after arrival, gave any necessary and technical info to you and also your nephew. I asked if there were any issues, questions, etc. I informed you that there are contracts with various services for cleaning, lawn, pool and all appliances. I also informed you that I only reside 1/2 mile away and am very easy to reach if any questions or problems arise. NO issues were reported. I was also there mid week and again NO issues were reported. Finally I had to go over there when you decided to check hours late and kept the cleaning service waiting. I spoke with you directly at that time and again NO issues were reported. That would have been a perfect time with the cleaning service there to resolve any issues. Issues with cleaning such as sand left in sofas, or dirty cookware left by previous guests could have been resolved then. I was not aware that the previous guest also left cloths in a closet. The rugs were ll professional steam cleaned 15 days prior to your arrival by Stanley Steamer. Since you were not the person that rented the house you probably were not aware that the clearly states that the garage is NOT to accessed by the renters. It is used as storage for construction and planned remodeling materials. I called and spoke directly with Gary who was the renter and did NOT relay that he experienced all the issues you state. I am sorry you feel the way you do about the cleaning service. I will show them your review and make sure there is better oversight of them. I would recommend that you avail yourself to that the access an owner such as I gave you for any other locations you visit when you experience things not to your liking. Good luck.

  Our family included grandparent, adults and grandkids and EVERYONE had a great time! The house has a great layout so everyone had space and privacy, but also lots of common space options for "hanging out" as well. The big, bright kitchen made cooking a pleasure, with the grill and outdoor table a bonus. Kids were endlessly entertained with the pool, swing set, backyard AND beach options. The beach is really beautiful and we almost had it to ourselves on most days. Pool is great as well. Yes, there were a few small issues, but the owners were extremely responsive and addressed any questions/issues in person and with urgency. With a house of that size - I imageine its impossible to anticipate everything. The biggest stress was deciding if we wanted to have our morning coffee in the sunroom, in the gazebo or on the beach - each with an ocean view!

  Owner response: Thank you, It was a pleasure meeting your whole family. We are glad you all had a good time and we hope to see you again. Tim and Tricia

  My husband surprised me with a romantic Florida vacation for my birthday this year. Opening the front door and seeing the ocean beyond the pool was awesome! The house was very spacious and clean. The master bedroom was comfy and large. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was so peaceful. I especially enjoyed putting on a luxurious robe, which was waiting for me in the closet , and having breakfast by the pool. Although we were oceanfront we spent much of our time just relaxing in the gazebo looking out at the ocean. Everything we needed to cook with for the week was in the kitchen. There was even an espresso machine! The pool was sparkling clean and the hot tub was a great place to unwind at the end of the day. The small oceanfront town on the island is very quaint. There are nice shops, great ice cream, a bakery and several good restaurants! The owners were very accessible and helpful and the neighborhood was private, quiet and friendly! I absolutely recommend this property. Will come back with our dogs next time!!

  I came down for a work//anniversary get away as I have several clients in Vero and had always wanted to take some time and enjoy this unique jewel of a community. My wife and two children joined me for probably one of the most enjoyable vacations we have had in a long time! My wife and I loved the house . It was bright and beachy, yet comfortable with everything you might need from extra food supplies,linens,to a waterfall with changing colors above the fireplace already stocked with wood] Our favorite was enjoying Happy Hour in the private Gazebo,watching the sun drop, then hopping in the large hottub spa. It was like a hotel but so much better the owners even thought to leave His and Her spa robes. We definitely can t wait to come back. My kids loved it and it will be a very special anniversary memory for my wife and I. Thank You

  We were 4 adults and 3 tweens for a holiday vacation. The location was great. Nice neighborhood. Great beach.. Perfect view! The house and its cleaniness was not up to par. The oven and microwave were broken but we made them work. They left us with the previous tenents garbage and no extra trash cans. The pool was dirty and lawn furniture worn. We do appreciate the when we need extra beach chairs they delivered them. The house was dusty, moldy and appear that it was not kept up. We were celebrating and I had to clean the china and glasses so we could us them. We paid good money and I felt that I should not have to clean as much as I did. Waterstains on the ceiling, glass windows were filthy. Not enough TLC in my opinion.
